NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A newspaper ad, prophesying an attack on Nashville at the hands of Muslims has caused damage that cannot be undone, according to local Islamic leaders.
It was a full-page advertisement, evoking fear and the threat of a nuclear attack.
“Our reaction was pure shock,” Sabina Mohyuddin of the American Muslim Advisory Council said.
The published print claimed ‘Islam’ would deliver the assault and destroy Nashville in a ball of fire. Mohyuddin and the local Islamic community say they feel targeted by the ad and any potential repercussions.
“They were hurt, they were hurt, and fearful of the backlash that this would cause in the communities,” Mohyuddin said.
