ELECTION 2016
 
The 2016 Election year is in full swing. The Republican's just finished their convention and Trump vows to stop immigration from countries "compromised" by terrorism. Will it work or will more Muslims participate in this year's election? 

This week the Democrats have their convention and some ask, will Muslim voters support Hillary? 

Fight Islamophobia with Education, support the Shura Council's Muslim Speakers Network, who  promotes religious literacy and mutual respect through on-site presentations and interfaith dialogues.

Nashville Muslim voters get on the bus for early voting. Make your voice heard and register to vote.
