Write to Christian Action Network

Dear ATAA Members and Friends of Türkiye:

The Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA) has sent a letter to Christian Action Network (CAN) requesting the removal of the Turkish flag from its public message regarding the Ground Zero Mosque issue. The Turkish American community expects honest and fair treatment on issues that matter to our community.

ATAA truly hopes that Christian Action Network removes the Turkish Flag from its website, public messages and it's promotional materials.

We encourage all our members and friends to make their views known to Christian Action Network by following the instructions below:

1- Please go to: www.christianaction.org/contact

2- Write your protest message (or cut and paste the message below) in the comments section. (You can write your own message but please stay polite and professional.)

3- Select "media"

4- Click send.

All this will take less than a minute of your time.

Please do it now!

Re: Please remove the Turkish flag from your media kit.

Dear Editor,

The placement of a Turkish flag in your piece on 9/11, its DVD cover, posters, and other media items, is misguided and reflects hatred and prejudice against people of Turkish heritage and Turkey.

Please remove the Turkish flag from your artwork. Turkey or people of Turkish heritage have nothing to do with Al Qaeda or other terrorist organizations who deliberately misuse Islam as a cover for their violence.

Truth should be plain enough to make an impact on decent people, without having to rely on tools of prejudice and hate towards people of Turkish heritage or against any group of people.

I trust you will do the right thing.

Thank you.
