Why should I give a khutbah on Muslims (Re)Claiming Our Narrative?

When polled, most Americans say they do not know a Muslim. More than 80 percent of media coverage about Islam and Muslims is negative, and Muslims have often found themselves at the center of social and political debate.

If American Muslims do not define themselves individually and collectively, they leave themselves vulnerable to being defined by others.
