The way to religious tolerance is through a billboard - or at least that's the idea behind a display for tens of thousands of commuters in North Dallas each day.
It's not a question a lot of people ask themselves on the way to work. But there it is, hanging above westbound LBJ Freeway near Webb Chapel: "Why Islam?"
The sign also offers a Web site address and a toll-free phone number in New Jersey.
"When the call comes in, it transfers to the team of volunteers," said Adnan Fyed of the Islamic Circle of North America. "And those volunteers they will call you back and they pick up the phone at the same time."
"Why Islam?" is a program run by the Islamic Circle of North America to educate anyone who wants to know about the religion. The website offers information on Allah, pilgramages and even audio lectures.
Visitors can also watch a slide show on Ramadan, and are invited to visit a mosque. There's even a chatroom.
"If you go and become a member of the forum, you can go and ask whatever questions you have," Fyed said.
The chat room addresses such topics as suicide bombings, and hating Christians.
With so many hostile ideas out there, the effort aims to help provide the truth about the religion.
The packed parking lot for Friday services at the Islamic Center of Irving shows how much the faith is growing in North Texas. Now with the hotline and the website, members of the community hope to get out the word concerning what Islam is all about.
A chain saw needs to be taken to this billboard.
Islam is the religion of butchering perverts who rape young children and follow the "teachings" of a pedophile.
Our foolish dependence on oil from Islamic countries for so many years has created a serious delusion.
To sum up, Islam is an extenion of Judaism and Christianity, respecting the followers of both faiths. . In fact, the Qur'an contains absolutely no internal inconsistencies whatsoever.
Fred has read a different version of the evil koran than I've read.
Mohammed's evil discourse should more correctly be entitled "Mein Koran."
The koran is nothing but a plageristic piece of inconsistent and senseless hodgepodge garbage.
GREAT POST BTTT
The devil is workin' overtime in the Bible Belt.
"Not this Moral Equivalence BS again..."
Show me where in our "Chistian laws" it states we should stone people to death as advocated in the Bible.
"This is just terrific. Huge billboard signs advertising the Islam religion and we Christians aren't even allowed to display our nativity during the Christmas Holidays.
What is wrong with this picture??!!"
Buy more billboards?
"These meanderings from Fred, a recent American convert to islam"
Fred who?
You're not writing about 'Fred On Everything', Fred Reed are you?
Fred's religion is hedonism.
If so I'm sitting here shaking my head in wonder!
"I'm still waiting for Muslims to denounce the evil their more radical elements perpetrate"
Instead of waiting maybe you should go look...click below.

Already been covered: Taqiyya...lying to Infidels.
"The difference is that such individuals and organizations go against the commandments of their holy book"
You wrongly presume that "everybody" takes their "Books" literally. IMO
Why Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
How can we believe what they say when they operate under such concepts as "al-Taqiyya"?
Damn good question.
(They ARE asking why Islam is still around, aren't they?)
Put THAT sign up right near the propaganda sign!
#129 - are you buying it?
