Muslims to host events during DNC; up to 20,000 could attend-WHAT?

Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), a non-profit that handles Islamic affairs, is planning “Jumah at the DNC,” which is several events to happen at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this September. The events are clearly geared toward Islamic adherents.
The Winston-Salem Journal, has reported that the group is saying, up to 20,000 Muslims will be in attendance to the celebratory happenings.
BIMA’s purpose in rallying large numbers of Muslims to participate in this event, Jumah at the DNC, is to make the general public aware that the Muslim community is a healthy and vibrant component to the American society. Being that these events will occur between August 31st and September 3rd; which happens to be the Labor Day weekend, we felt that it would be most convenient for Muslims to be able to travel without being inhibited by their work schedules and other obligatory duties. Also it is the best time for Muslims to capture national and international attention.
