Some of you may have seen Imam Qatanani in a promotional video I had worked on for AlMishkat Institute. He’s the imam of one of the largest Muslim communities in the state of New Jersey who has been dealing with deportation issues. He’s someone who has built up the community in Paterson, NJ like no other mashaAllah.

There is a short news style documentary that has been produced describing his situation (see below):

There was a rally today in support for him. There will be another rally tomorrow and (5.9.08) and Monday (5.12.08). If you are in the New Jersey or New York area, I highly encourage you to attend.

See his website for more information: http://www.americans4qatanani.org/
