"I hope and pray that Dalton area residents come out in droves to share blood. Such a response will not only save lives but could also lead to more positive interactions between Muslims and non-Muslims."

I am deeply moved and heartened by the decision of the Dalton Ahmadiyya Muslim community to hold a blood drive in that city's Blood Assurance site.

Their website states that the effort is designed to show that Islam values the sanctity of life.

Nothing better exemplifies such a reverence for life than blood donations.

I hope and pray that Dalton area residents come out in droves to share blood. Such a response will not only save lives but could also lead to more positive interactions between Muslims and non-Muslims.
