Claiming inspiration from President Barack Obama’s address earlier this month in Cairo, the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group announced plans on Tuesday to give the Quran to 100,000 local, state and national leaders.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is asking American Muslims to sponsor the distribution of the Qurans to members of Congress, governors and state lawmakers, state attorneys general, local elected and public officials, teachers, law enforcement officials, media professionals, and others “who shape public opinion or determine policy,” according to a release.

“By quoting from the Quran in his Cairo address, President Obama generated renewed interest in what Islam’s revealed text has to say on topics such as the sanctity of human life, justice and diversity,” Nihad Awad, CAIR’s executive director, said in a statement. “This is not an effort to proselytize, but is instead intended to provide an educational resource for those who will shape the future direction of our nation.”

CAIR says its surveys show that only two percent of Americans say they are “very knowledgeable” about Islam, and nearly 60 percent say they are “not very knowledgeable” or “not at all knowledgeable” about the faith.

The organization describes the giveaway as phase two of its “Explore the Quran” campaign, in which tens of thousands of Americans requested and received Qurans. Awad said the campaign’s ultimate goal is “to put one million Qurans in the hands of ordinary Americans of all faiths” over the next decade.
