The nationwide “Meet a Muslim” campaign was started last year. Hundreds of other Muslims have participated in it. The campaign was started after the Pew Research Center conducted a poll and found that 62 percent of Americans had never met a Muslim!

I could not help but notice the headline, “Get to know a Muslim,” over a letter to the Inquirer on March 23. The letter, sent by Nameer Ahmad Bhatti, a member of the Muslim Writers Guild of America and a Blue Bell resident, stated: “I was deeply appalled after reading about letters mailed to the United Kingdom calling for a ‘Punish a Muslim Day.’ In response, I and 12 of my Muslim brothers, through the guidance of Khalifa of Islam Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, initiated a ‘Meet a Muslim’ campaign. We have traveled to various cities and held up a sign with the words ‘I am a Muslim. Ask me anything … ’”
I think this a wonderful idea, so I contacted Nameer, and the two of us met last Tuesday night at a restaurant in Blue Bell. Nameer, 32, was a few months old when his parents, Abdul and Zahida, and brother, Safeer, came to the U.S. from Pakistan. They settled in Maryland but moved to this area in 1992.
