State Dept, advertises American
way of Islam to Arab audiences'
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is
offering Muslim countries four U.S.-prepared tel
evision commercials aimed at providing a better
understanding of Islam in America.
The four ads, each about two minutes long, are
part of a $15 million campaign by Charlotte
Beers, undersecretary of state for public diploma
cy and a former Madison Avenue advertising
executive. The ads explain “what kind of a socie
ty we are, how we treat people,” to countries often
hostile to the United States, State Department
spokesman Richard Boucher said Wednesday.
Boucher said the ads are now being tried out in
Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim
country, and negotiations are under way to buy
airtime in other Muslim nations in Asia and the
Middle East and on media outlets that reach many
Arab countries.
“The goal was to use the period of Ramadan to
play these ads because there’s a tradition of people
telling the story of Islam in their country during
the month of Ramadan,” Boucher said. The fast
ing period starts next month.
The spots feature a doctor, Elias Zerhouni, the
Algerian-born director of the National Institutes of
Health; a Libyan-born baker, Abdul Hammuda of
Toledo, Ohio; a Lebanese-born teacher, Rawia
Ismal of Toledo; and a medic with the New York
Fire Department, Farouk Muhammad.
They were produced in conjunction with the
Council of American Muslims for Understand:,
a nonprofit, nonpolitical group dedicated to pj
viding a better understanding of Islam in Amen.
Boucher said.
He said that in some countries the ads
been submitted to censorship boards beco
everything that goes on television in those cob |
tries must be approved by such a board.
Boucher said he was not ready to put oul ‘
of countries the United States was talking toaM-|
the ads because the campaign may be
based on its perfonnance in Indonesia.
“We decided we would actually go out.
to buy advertising time where we wanted it," j
we wanted it to the people we wanted to tear -
story,” he said. , ,J
Asked if the ads would ever be broadcast y |
Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite network, "
reaches many Arab countries,^ Boucher
“They wanted too much money.” .
He said the United States was under no.
sions that the ads would stop suicide bom J

Judge dismisses
Columbine lawsuits
DENVER (AP) - A federal judge
formally dismissed lawsuits filed
against the Jefferson County
sheriff's office by the families of
three students wounded in the
Columbine High School shoot
ings.
Judge Lewis T. Babcock ruled in
November that sheriff's officials
NEWS IN BRIEF
had immunity to the suits
brought by relatives of Richard
Castaldo, Sean Graves and Mark
Taylor. He also found they had
responded reasonably to the
shootings.
The families alleged sheriff's
officers failed to investigate
alleged threats and crimes by the
Columbine gunmen a year
before the rampage and botched
the response.
Babcock formally dismissed the
suits on Friday. His order
made available Tuesday.
