A U.S. Muslim group is reaching out to their communities at large as part of a national effort to unite people of all faiths.
Locally, a contingent of men and women from the Ahmadiyya Muslim youth group of Oshkosh teamed up to host Meet a Muslim Day as people showed up on the Capitol Square for the Dane County Farmers' Market in Madison, Wisconsin, WKOW has reported.
One of the event organizers, Harris Ahmed, said the group hope to break down barriers of mistrust and misunderstanding and teach people that Muslims are just like everyone else.
"There was a pew research study that was done that said only 62 percent of Americans had ever met a Muslim and that's why we're here and making ourselves available," WKOW quoted Ahmed as saying.
