You may have heard the tragic news about Abdul Rahman (Peter) Kassig a former Butler University student. Recently, ISIS released a video in which they beheaded a British aid worker, Alan Henning, and threatened to kill Peter. He has been doing great humanitarian work overseas with an organization which he founded.

On Wednesday, October 8th, the Butler University Muslim Student Association will be holding an event in solidarity with Peter and his family during this difficult time. The event will take place at 6 PM at Butler University, on the lawn between Irwin and Atherton. There will be a number of Muslim speakers talking about Peter and his background, and how we as a Butler community can help Peter and his family in this time of crisis and tragedy. This event is meant to be something focused on Peter and his family, not on ISIS and the political situation. The Butler University Muslim Student Association asks that you pass on this information to anyone and everyone you know. Tell your friends, coworkers, classmates, whoever. This event is open to the Butler community, and the Indianapolis community as a whole. To show our solidarity the Butler University Muslim Student Association asks that attendees try their best to wear white.
