SOUTH CHARLESTON -- At the Islamic Center in South Charleston, Imam Ehteshamul Haque spent his Thursday afternoon answering phones and preparing the mosque for services.
Haque was in India during Sept. 11, but in his six years in America, he's both seen his share of suspicion and has been helping to educate about Islam.
"Our practices of Islam day and night are extremely peaceful," said Haque.
In a 2009 Gallup poll, 43 percent of Americans admitted to at least "a little" prejudice toward Muslims.
"I believe if you study any religion you will find this problem: The mainstream is different. The minority is there and believes something totally different," said Haque.
Following September 11th, the Islamic Center braced for vandalism, but according to Haque, instead found flowers and messages of solidarity.
"Every mosque and every organization has clear ... statements condemning these extreme views," said Haque.
The Islamic Center is working with a Charleston church for a September 11th event that will focus on understanding.

Islam is a cult of slavery, oppression and murder. There is no such thing as slavery, oppression and murder in moderation.
If our forefathers had any incling their ancestors would be so stupid and morally bankrupt as to allow Islam to gain a foothold on American soil, they would have put a ban on it in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence.
Until you get in the majority, then you murder Christians and force them to convert, or keep them as slaves. The Islamic mentality has never evolved beyond the Dark Ages. It is savage and brutish and it plummets any region where it dominates into barbarity.
Even if these Islamists and Islamophiles apologized for 9/11, it wouldn’t be worth but a grain of sand in the ARabian desert given Muslim’s and their apologists have yet to address the murder, assaults, and all sharia compliant mayhem imposed on humanity since Muhammads hijrah, up to and including Beslan, Madrid, 7/7 UK, USS Cole, first World Trade Center Bombing, Pan Am Lockarbie, Fort Hood, etc. etc. ad infinitum.
There isn’t enough time and treasure for Muslims to seek forgiveness for the harm they’ve caused - even if all of Islamdom got on their hands and knees to beg forgiveness and offer restitution for all the harm imposed on civilization since Mohammad’s evil defiled humanity.
Islam delende est.
Lan Astaslem.
It’s been 10 years. They should’ve worked harder.
Everything I needed to know about islam was learned on the morning of September 11, 2001.
These murderous bastards should not even be allowed in the US.
Both Islam and Sharia need to be outlawed as being both treasonous and seditious.
Sharia is a direct fierce affront and challenger to our constitution. It role is to supplant and replace whatever government that exists where it takes root. Its goal is to make sharia supreme over all governments, globally.
We need anti sharia and islam laws. It nees to be outlawed.
Do you really think that the fathers of this country wanted the freedom, rights and liberties eroded and destroyed by a foreign constitution?
Sharia (and Islam) is a invasive, cancerous growth that will kill the host.
It’s been 10 years and NO ONE affilitated with the religion of pieces has come out to denounce 9/11.
I don’t any patience with those people.
They use our culture of acceptance and religious freedoms to hide their loyalties.
AMEN!— The beguiled will defend Satan or whatever reflection of their Father holds control over them. One need not study the Alkoran to know it is contrary to our system. It is a “religion of Peace” only to those who have submitted to the evil one.Study of the history of Islam is profitable For it tears off the veil and shows the world a system of conquest-forced submission,destruction, even death.Those who attempt to
reconcile our ways to Islam will be destroyed by Islam.And many innocent will die because of the beguiling.
Fact: Big Sis says Muslim Americans are trying to torch off car bombs in major cities as I type this.
How stupid do they think we are.
If they want us to accept them and tolerate them, they should rebuke and eliminate their militants. They haven’t and won’t. Everytime I see one, I shudder. Is they want to dress like and act like they are in the 7th century, they shouldn’t use cell phones and drive cars. Don’t need them here.
That's interesting. How come no one ever hears about these "clear statements"?
Hand these "clear statements" off to the newspapers. If they won't write a story about it, run an add featuring these "clear statements". I'm sure you could even manage to get some folks on the talks shows to discuss these "clear statements".
But no. The only "clear statement" we have is the claim that there are "clear statements".
Sometimes stereotypes are correct.
Actions speak louder than words.
I learned everything I needed to know about islam on 9/11.
When muslins start rebuking the “religion” that calls for the deaths of all non-muslims — which includes me, my family, and all my friends — I might start listening.
Muslims Work to Separate Image From 9/11 Stereotypes.
Stop believing in a religion that is spread by the sword.
Jesus is Lord!!!
If they discovered that a virus affected the mind so that infected people committed honor killings, beheadings, clitorectomies on little girls, kill young women for pursuing an education, turn them into walking bombs and cause them to fly planes into buildings, there world be a worldwide search for a cure and every baby on the planet would be inoculated with vaccines to eradicate it.
“Muslims work to separate image from 9-11...”
Yes, of course, because EVERYONE knows it was Irish Catholic grandmoms who flew those aircraft into the WTC, while screaming “Erin go Bragh!”...
Well, they can work to separate it all they want.
But they OWN it, forever.
And the picture burned into my brain, other than MY countrymen leaping to their deaths, is of THEIR people cheering and celebrating in the streets, and that fat pig of a Palistinian woman doing the tongue warble in absolute celebratory glee at the deaths of MY people - innocent folks who were doing nothing more than trying to go to work to earn a living.
Yeah...they can try to separate it all they want. But THEY did it - their people, their co-islamists, their sick, satanic religion, and their lunatic brethern OWN it.
And while we’re there - those socialist/liberal buttwipes who let these b*stards into the country, and who knew they were here illegally, and who did nothing to stop them, and then who made excuses and remonstations at US about profiling and tolerance and all that other multiculti bullsh*t bear responsibility for it too.
They set up the circumstances for it to happen. We can put the blame for it squarely at their feet as well.
Over 3000 innocent people died that day because of a combination of political correctness, liberal insanity, Islamic terrorism, and pure, blind hatred.
We need to NEVER FORGET that - who they are, why they’re here, and what they ultimately want to do.
Paul Harvey might second that. I haven't found it as a recorded quote, but I remember hearing him say that today's tribal Muslim Arab/Persian/Turk is neither ready for nor capable of modern, peaceable, representative government.
