Indiana Muslims Outraged by Billboard Insulting Holy Prophet (PBUH)

TEHRAN (IQNA) – An anti-Muslim billboard disparaging the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Indianapolis, US state of Indiana, is drawing concern from local Muslims.

Now, Islamic leaders in Indianapolis are challenging those responsible for what they say are offensive and untrue statements to stand by their words, shed their anonymity and explain their motivations.

"It is a horrible billboard. I’m outraged by it, but saddened at the same time … and I would like to know who is behind it," said Rima Shahid, executive director of the Muslim Alliance of Indiana. "It seems very cowardly to me. If you have some kind of stance, you should want to stand up next to your statement. I didn’t think there was any room for hate in our city. This billboard tells me otherwise.

"This kind of rhetoric just furthers division in our state and makes a neighbor question a neighbor, just like I am today."
