Islamic Center of Omaha (ICO) in partnership with Gain Peace, has launched a public awareness campaign to educate people about Islam and Muslims by introducing two billboard ads on Islam in Omaha, Neb.
The Islam ad campaign was launched on Feb. 26, 2010. Billboards were placed on 33rd and Leavenworth streets facing east and on 143rd and Industrial Highway facing west.
These billboard ads on Islam are designed to invite interested individuals to visit Gain Peace project’s website at http://www.gainpeace.com or call the project's toll free number 1-800-662-ISLAM. Callers have the opportunity to receive answers to questions about Islam or request a free copy of the Qur'an and literature about Islam.
There are 1.5 billion Muslims around the world and eight million in United States. Islam is one of the fastest growing faiths in the United States with estimates of over 45,000 new converts to Islam each year, mostly women.
Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), parent organization of Gain Peace, is one of the largest, non-profit, independent, grass roots organizations of Muslim Americans with twenty five chapters and affiliates in the US. Its mission is to promote correct understanding of Islam and Muslims.
