In November 2015, with a complete misunderstanding of Islam, I fired shots into a mosque. Since then, after being completely forgiven by the congregation and Muslims all over the world, I decided to do my own research on Islam. I learned that my views and beliefs of Islam were very wrong. I’m proud to endorse these eleven points.

I am proud to support the ‘True Islam’ campaign as it reminds us all that our Muslim brothers and sisters also what what we all seek: a better quality of life for our children, families and communities. As Americans, we must always stand up against misrepresentations of any people or religion, as our country was founded on the principles of progress, justice and equality for all.
