Muslims understand what it is like to be a victim of prejudice in America. It’s really admirable that they are doing this.

The current total they have raised is $66,647 from 1,608 supporters.

10/30 – now up to $199,363 from 4,816 people

Crowdfunding campaigns launched by Muslim Americans to help the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue attack have raised $500,000 so far. "We are on average receiving $1000 every 20 minutes" says one organizer. By @Joyce_Karam https://t.co/BpyLoa33I1

Muslim groups have raised over $180,000 to help Pittsburgh synagogue shooting victims.
