Houston Muslim groups feed evacuees on 9/11
anniversary

About 2,000 Muslim volunteers helped victims of
Hurricane Katrina at Houston's downtown convention
center today — the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks. 

Muslim leaders from around the country who were in
Houston for the volunteer effort said the anniversary
was mere chance. But they welcomed the coincidence as
an opportunity to highlight their faith's true
meaning. 

"We're not trying to prove anything, other than what
our faith requires us to do," said Mahdi Bray,
executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based
Muslim American Society. "What goes with our faith is
to help others, to respond and show compassion when
people need it and I'm glad we can do it."
