OHIO - First State to Give "Full Recognition" to American Muslims
The State of Ohio has become the first state in the United States to proclaim an annual "Islamic
Day" following resolutions of both the Ohio Senate and House of Representatives
(H.B. 280). The bill establishes October 30 as the annual date. It was reaffirmed
and signed by Governor Voinovich. [The bill was the result of efforts of the
Islamic Council of Ohio and its coordinator, Mr. Bashir Ahmad.]
