Many Americans have inquired as to what Muslims are doing to help Hurricane Katrina victims. Over the Labor Day weekend, during the 42nd annual
ISNA(Islamic Society of North America) convention, a national

The Global Muslim community has already donated over $1 Billion to help in Katrina relief.
Actually, the total amount donated internationally by Muslims is $1,055,600,000. Imagine that! This money is going to help Americans. (
