16 Million Pakistanis Join Anti-Terror Movement Online
The Yeh Hum Naheen Foundation, a Pakistan-based NGO, has launched the world’s biggest anti-terrorism campaign, collecting over 16 million signatures at a rate of 2 million signatures per day.
YHN Foundation has set up 6000 Ambassadors around Pakistan to sign people up, launched an online petition on their website and created an SMS campaign for those who condemn terrorism and need an outlet to voice their opinions. The Yeh Hum Naheen Facebook group has 3,490 members and is steadily growing.
The goal of the online petition is create global awareness: The majority of Muslims and Pakistanis do not condone terrorism and those who perpetrate these acts of terrorism do not do so in the name of Islam. This powerful message of tolerance, peace and harmony is based on the essence of Islam as a faith.
The petition that millions of Pakistanis are signing states:
“Are we the ones who deprive mothers of their children? Are we the ones who deprive children of their fathers’ affection? Are we the ones who are destroying our own futures?”
