Vanity-Community Good Works Christian vs. Muslim

OK, so I've been going around with a few friends about the Ground Zero mosque. They've bought into the entire "community Center" thing as if the Muslims are well known for their good works. Off the top of my head, I can think of dozens of community services or good works started by Christians or others with Christian attitudes, but I'm hard pressed to come up with anything the muslims are known for. Any ideas?

And, if it's a "Community Center" is the general community welcome to enter.

Christian: Salvation Army, YMCA, Boy Scouts, most hospitals, most early colleges-Harvard, Princeton etc.

The Annual Islam-A-Ham Easter donation feeding the infidel homeless...?

Hey, don’t forget the $20,000 or so that the collective Muslim world has collected up for the victims of the Pakistan monsoons!

(nevermind the several millions collected from Christians for Haiti...)
