American Muslim group has raised more than $165,000 for the families in San Bernadino affected by the terror attack. The crowd fund campaign was launched by Faisal Qazi a Ponoma, Carlifonia based neurologist and Tarek El Messidi, founder of the Muslim nonprofit CelebrateMercy, on Dec 3, just a day after the attack. Since then majority of people from all over the world and public figures have support the campaign.
"We wish to respond to evil with good, as our faith instructs us, and send a powerful message of compassion through action," Qazi wrote on the campaign website, which is hosted on the Muslim-oriented crowdfunding site Launchgood.
El-Messidi's aim is to change negative perception of Muslim Anericans
“This united American Muslim campaign aims to reclaim our faith from extremists by responding to evil with good, by rebuilding what they destroy," he said in a press release.
A terror attack happened in San Bernadino last week during an office party which claimed 14 people lives and injured 21 others. The terrorists were actual husband and wife as well as parents to a six month old son.
