A coalition of Muslim groups have begun a LaunchGood page to get funds in order to help rebuild the black churches recently burned down. A note on the site explains the feelings of solidarity:
Imam Zaid Shakir on this urgent need: "The American Muslim community cannot claim to have experienced anything close to the systematic and institutionalized racism and racist violence that has been visited upon African Americans. We do, however, understand the climate of racially inspired hate and bigotry that is being reignited in this country.
We want to let our African American brothers and sisters know that we stand in solidarity with them during this dark hour. As a small symbol of that solidarity, during this blessed month of Ramadan, we are gathering donations to help rebuild the seven churches that have been burned down since the racist murders in Charleston, South Carolina."
Their timeline for the churches they are helping:

(Arrest made)okay as Godly an act as this and coming from who it is watch the religious right an act like this crickets but what i think we will hear is an attempt to link Black churches and our people with their myth of all Islam being a Jihadist a 2fer for the bigots it will be part of their reaching out just the reaching out will be to those standing by the red meat troughs waiting for the toss they think will further increase hate from them to Muslims and us but now with an equal intensity and more open season reason.
