Religious pluralism can be described as accepting and supporting ideals of another religious group. Over time, certain groups have adapted to and appreciated ways of an alien religion in order to gain acceptance from the people around them. The council of American-Islamic relations is an organization that advocates Muslim civil liberties and strives to place the American Muslim community in a safe spot. Opposition has plagued their cause and it is up to them to stand up for what they want. The challenges they face attest to how far they should go to accomplish their goal as acceptance of the Muslim American society. .
Christian leader Franklin Graham, showed his support of the U.S. invading Iraq after the September 11th attacks by stating that the Islamic religion is evil and wicked. He has made many anti-Islamic remarks and basically says that true Islam practices contradict what is ethical in the U.S. There are many violent aspects of Islamic Faith and those cannot be practiced legally in America. It is true that some of the ways of Muslims are looked down upon in America, but the majority of Muslims in the United States seem to understand that and have modified their customs. The council explained to Graham that his view of American Muslims are skewed and that they promote civil liberties and strive to build an alliance of mutual understanding of their faith. The councils mission statement is "to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding ". They make a clear and easy to comprehend message about their status here in America. It is evident that American Muslims aren't the same as the extremists who attacked America. It is unfair to attack all Muslims especially the ones in America the way Graham did because they were victims as well. He tries to associate all Muslims with the hardcore ones that attacked and that was truly despicable.
