Assalamu'alaykum John,

It can seem daunting in a time of walls, bans, and migrant
'concentration' camps to find windows of opportunity where justice can
prevail. It is indeed challenging, but it is not impossible.

Take the case of Carl Kennemer, a Muslim convert who found himself on
the controversial No-Fly list and separated from his family with no
stated reason - strongly suggesting that his faith was the motive. The
MLFA-funded Law Center fought back - and won.

Or the case of Osama Abu-Irshaid, an American Muslim leader who faced 11
years of delays in receiving his U.S. citizenship because of a dangerous
attempt by the government to expand the definition of 'affiliation'
and accuse him of guilt-by-association. The MLFA-funded Law Center
fought back - and won.

Not to mention the case of Noor Salman - the first spouse of a mass
shooter to be put on trial for the crimes of another - simply on the
basis of her faith. The MLFA-funded Law Center fought back - and won.

We recently shared the story of Haisam Elsharkawi
, who is challenging the
government's attempts to dismiss his experience of religious
profiling. His case highlights how much freedom airport security agents
have in searching 'persons of interest' without much legal
justification or accountability - which will continue to go unchecked
unless we stand up for our rights. The MLFA-funded Law Center is doing
just that.

*** And just last week, we witnessed the reversal of a terror conviction
that stood for 14 years *** before a federal judge agreed that Hamid
Hayat, a young cherry-picker and haafidth of the Quran, was unjustly
prosecuted all those years ago based on nothing more than a false
confession and a zealous government intent on criminalizing innocent
Muslims in pursuit of the War on Terror. After 14 years, his rights were
restored, and the truth prevailed. God
willing, justice will too.

These individuals didn't give up - and neither should we.
Your donation today helps us continue to
fight for justice.
In these final days of the best days of the year - please support
MLFA!

These cases demonstrate the importance of MLFA's work and how
victories like these

can set important precedents -- especially when the law is misused in
cases involving Muslims.

We need your help today to continue
on the path to justice for Muslims in America.

In a month commemorating the sacrifice of our forefather Ibrahim (AS)
and the journey of millions to the Holy Kaba, please keep the cause of
justice in your prayers and give what
you can to support MLFA.

Together, we can fund the work that makes justice possible, in shaa
allah.

In faith and for justice,

Donate Now!
