“The reason for the campaign is to make sure we educate our fellow Americans,” the group GainPeace said.
“We build connections and by educating and building the connections, God willing, we want to establish better communities and better societies. May God help us all.”
GainPeace is also planning to hold open houses at mosques across Chicago, to offer people a chance to learn about Islam and socialize.
