Greater Lynchburg Islamic Association (GLIA) is a non-profit religious, educational, and cultural organization based in Lynchburg, Virginia. Our goal is to promote the true understanding of Islam. We welcome Muslims and non-Muslims alike to learn about Islam. We condemn all kinds of extremism whether practiced by people or governments around the globe! There is a greater need now than ever before to have a dialogue between different faiths. We need to unite against hatred whether it is based on race, religion or any other narrow idea. We believe in peace, and love for fellow human beings. God sent Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a mercy to all mankind (Quran).
