Suburban Muslims are using social media and other positive campaigns to counter anti-Islam messages in the wake of global protests — some violent — over a controversial video about Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, and anti-Muslim posters plastered in New York City subway stations.

Just returned from an internal OIC workshop held in Brussels to discuss Islamophobia, Ahmed Rehab, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Chicago Office, asserted that Muslims must do more to fight this scourge.

Ahmed Rehab speaks with Fox Chicago News about how Facebook and Twitter played a role in gathering all the people in Egypt to come together. Rehab said that social media allowed the Egyptian people to gather quickly and in large enough numbers that security forces could not prevent the movements.
