Woman performs random act of kindness at Fayetteville Islamic center [View all]



1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2015

Community members at a Fayetteville Islamic center and mosque got a kind surprise after leaving a class.

The Islamic Community Center of Atlanta posted a copy of a note to its Facebook page from someone who describes herself as a “white atheist woman.”

According to the posting, several members of the Islamic Community Center found the note and a $20 bill on Tuesday after leaving a ladies’ class. The note doesn’t specify whether the act was in response to Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country or incidents of anti-Muslim rhetoric and harassment that have been reported since the California attacks.

The note, handwritten on white notebook paper reads:

“Hello, I’m a white Atheist woman, but I strongly (underlined) believe that everyone (underlined) has the right to practice their religion in a safe place no matter what their religion is. I’m sorry for any negativity you may have experienced because of ignorant fear-mongering. Where there’s hate there is a greater amount of love and you are loved. I know $20 isn’t much, but I hope it helps with something.”
