Here is a message we recieved from the Morocco RPCV listserv that reflects what RPCVs can do in this crisis:

Now more than ever we as RPCVs from an Arab and Muslim country need to work at one of the 3 goals of the Peace Corps Mission: "To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans." Many people are allowing their anger toward a few sick and twisted individuals to condemn all who share the same religious or ethnic background as the terrorists. Please spread the word that not every Arab is a terrorist, not every Arab is evil, and not every Arab is celebrating the destruction of the last week. Now more than ever the cultural understanding we learned while serving is needed.

A Peaceful Faith, A Fanatic Few

The vast majority of Muslims, Arab and non-Arab alike, deplore the slaughter of thousands of civilians that took place in New York City and Washington, D.C. "It violates the very foundations of Islamic law," says Imam Yahya Hendi, Muslim chaplain at Georgetown University, a Jesuit school. Nor are we witnessing a clash of civilizations. On the contrary, the United States is one place in the world where Jews and Christians and Muslims alike can live in peace with each other.
