To the people and politicians of the United States:
We across the world respect and support the United States' constitutional commitment to religious tolerance and freedom. History shows that the more we repress cultural and religious freedom the more we fuel terror and increase the risks of war. Let's join together to fight against those that promote dangerous and violent extremism and instead promote religious dialogue.

U.S. radical right politicians are stirring up controversy over a proposal to build an Islamic community center near ground zero in New York City. But a deafening global call for moderation could counter this dangerous Islamophobia.

Statements that the building is ‘designed to undermine and destroy our civilization' are both rousing fear in the U.S. and playing straight into the radical Islamic extremists hands. This wave of hate speech could affect the US election this autumn and bring back a Bush-style foreign policy that puts the whole world at risk.

Let's all join together now in an urgent global outcry and help stop this new tide of dangerous extremism. Sign on to this message to America and forward this email -- it will be run in a huge ad campaign if 250,000 of us sign on:
