ICNA and LALMA (Los Angeles Latino Muslim Association) were at the the Los Angeles Latino Book & Family Festival. LALMA had put up a Spanish Islamic book stall. ICNA shared the stall for dawah. This was the first collaboration between ICNA and LALMA. The Festival was a big event, drawing more than 60,000 attendees and over 800 booths. It celebrated its 6th Annual celebration in the #1 Hispanic market in the U.S.
Nearly 7 million Latinos make Los Angeles their home and another 725,000 in neighboring Orange County make the Los Angeles/Orange Greater Metropolitan Region the consummate Latino hyper-market.
With this in mind ICNA and LALMA are to discuss possible partnership in dawah and social projects among the Latino community.
The ICNA members from the local WhyIslam dawah team were- Waqas Ahmed, Yasir Khan and Hasan Seriafi.
