Political Education
The United Muslim Association of Toledo has held countless events throughout the Northwest Ohio area in order to educate Muslim about politics. The United Muslim Association of Toledo has held countless events throughout the Northwest Ohio area in order to educate Muslim about politics. It is our belief that the more Muslims know about politics, the more they will feel comfortable becoming involved. For a long time Muslims have been a very silent majority. In fact, most estimates have Muslims at around 7-10 million nationwide. Finally Muslims are now getting involved. We continually have voter registration drives, 'meet the candidates' type events, and all sorts of rallies and programs to entice people to flex their political muscle.
Unity Dinners
The United Muslim Association of Toledo has held countless events throughout the Northwest Ohio area in order to educate Muslim about politics. One of our first unity dinners was held in October of 1996 at Northview High School in the midst of a heated presidential election between incumbent President Bill Clinton and Republican challenger Robert Dole. This contest between a Bill and a Bob was not much of a contest at all and Bill ended up victorious. During our 'Meet the Candidates' night the president of American Muslim Alliance, Dr. Agha Saeed, addressed the crowd and riled everyone up.
