On October 14, 2002 the Corpus Christi Caller-Times reported that "Usama Nassar, an Islamic leader and member of the mosque on McArdle Road... said he and other local Muslims have been pursuing a public relations campaign of sorts to prove to the community that people of the Islamic faith are the same as anyone else living in Corpus Christi [TX]. Nassar added that he is looking forward to Nov. 3, when the mosque and the local chapter of the National Conference for Community and Justice will hold a forum called 'Experiencing Our Neighbors' Faith.' The forum will be a chance for people to visit the mosque, learn and view some Islamic prayers, and listen to a presentation by a mosque leader, said Christine Kutnick, the executive director of the NCCJ."
