St. Louis, USA (IINA) - A group of American Muslims purchased space on seven electronic billboards in and around St. Louis, in order to display their message: "We, the American Muslims condemn terrorism!" KSDK virtual channel 5 news reported.
The group received help designing the billboard, which consists of black font on a white background with an American flag adorning one side, from the St. Louis chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
According to CAIR, there is a lot of anti-Islamic rhetoric being used currently and billboards like this one aims to reach the average majority of Americans who may not know much about Islam or Muslims.
The group that purchased the billboard space says that their statement has been made before but for some reason people have not heard it.
They are hoping a more public display will make a difference.
