Muslim FDNY firefighter and EMT appear in new national ad supporting Ground Zero mosque
An FDNY firefighter and EMT share 9/11 experiences in two television and Internet spots, which end with the slogan "9/11 happened to us all," according to the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations.
CAIR released a third ad featuring Muslim, Jewish and Christian leaders discussing their faiths. The spot ends with the slogan, "We have more in common than we think."
The group developed the ads "to challenge the growing anti-Muslim bigotry sparked by opposition to the planned Park51 project in Manhattan," officials said.
An ad campaign against Park51, the planned 13-floor community center and mosque two blocks north of Ground Zero, debuted on MTA subways and buses last month.
