Call for a Compassionate Missouri Budget Process in the Media (2009)

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Tim Townsend, religion editor for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, wrote in his 4/6/09 coverage:

After the hourlong rally, Imam Muhamed Hasic of the Islamic Community Center in St. Louis said such grass-roots efforts based on interfaith organization were important “because hundreds of thousands in this state deserve to be treated better and this is where that help can begin.”

“Personally, I can do nothing other than that, and I will be asking Episcopalians in the pews to do the same,” he said. -more
