Thousands of American Muslims Gather for Convention
This marked the 40th anniversary of the annual convention, which this year was honoring the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as nearly 140 speakers across the world gave lectures to provide a “better understanding” of the holy prophet.
When people in the United States mention the name of the prophet, “they actually do not know much about him,” said Waqas Syad, ICNA deputy secretary general to Anadolu Agency.
“When Muslims do something bad, people blame on prophet Muhammad and his thoughts,” he added, blaming U.S. right-wing discourse.
According to officials, nearly 30.000 people are registered to attend the three-day convention.
ICNA’s annual convention is one of the largest gatherings of American Muslims in the United States.
