'Muslims love Jesus', 'Mary wore hijab': billboards 'explaining' Islam crop up in many US cities

The billboards are reportedly being put up by a non-profit organisation called GainPeace.

Large billboards proclaiming similarities between the religions of Islam and Christianity have been erected in several places across the United States of America.
One such banner in Texas' Houston has the message "Muslims love Jesus" and "his message of one God and his prophethood". Another billboard depicts Jesus' mother Mary wearing a hijab. It has the caption, "Blessed Mary wore the hijab. Will you respect it?"
One shows a picture of the Kaaba, a building in Saudi Arabia that Muslims consider the holiest site in Islam, with the message, "Built by Abraham, dedicated to worship one God, annual pilgrimage by millions of Muslims."
The billboards are reportedly being put up by a non-profit organisation called GainPeace, which says that its main goal is spreading awareness about Islam, and clarifying any doubts or misconceptions they may hold. It chose to put billboards in cities where the organisation has a strong presence and a significant Muslim population.
According to Pew Research, the Muslim population in the US has grown in the two decades since September 11, 2001, when the country witnessed a spike in racist crimes in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Residents of the American city of Houston were surprised by the appearance of a mysterious light in the sky on March 23.Multiple photographs and videos of the phenomenon emerged on social media. News reports suggested that the vertical light was mostly observed in the eastern parts of the Texan city.
While the exact cause or nature of the light was not ascertained immediately, KHOU 11 News reported a statement by a local facility belonging to a plastics, chemicals, and refining company. A LyondellBasell plant in the area had reportedly warned of periodic flaring due to some activities.
The company had reportedly said that "a bright orange flame, black smoke, or a rumbling noise" might be witnessed by locals. Meteorologists reportedly said that clouds over Houston were very reflective on March 23, and the vertical light may have been a reflection of the flaring.

As NASA prepares to plan how humans would survive on Mars, the space agency is looking for four people to live in conditions similar to the Red Planet in hopes of getting some answers on how that survival would look like.
Instead of going into outer space, the volunteers will live in the Mars Dune Alpha, a 3D-printed 1,700-square-foot module inside the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The model will include private rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, a work out room and space to grow crops.
NASA is planning to conduct three of these experiments, with the first one beginning in 2022. The paid volunteers will be given tasks like simulated spacewalks, use of virtual reality and scientific research.
The application, states that NASA is looking for permanent U.S. citizens who are between 30-to-55-years-old and are healthy with no dietary issues. Applicants should have a master's degree in a STEM field, professional STEM experience and pilot experience too.

Washington, PTI: Highlighting the great relationship that he has developed with Indian Americans and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump said that he would think that Indian Americans will vote for him in the November 3 presidential election.
"We have great support from India. We have great support from Prime Minister Modi. I would think that the Indian (American) people would be voting for Trump," the president told reporters at a White House news conference.
Trump was responding to a question on a video titled, "Four more years" released by the Trump Campaign during the Republican National Convention last month. Tweeted by Kimberly Guilfoyle, national chair of Trump Victory Finance Committee and retweeted by his son Donald Trump Jr, the video conceptualised by Al Mason, co-chair of the Trump Victory Indian American Finance Committee, has short clips from the Modi-Trump joint address in Houston last year and Ahmedabad in February this year.
"Would Kimberly, Don Jr, and Ivanka Trump, who are very popular among Indian Americans, would be campaigning on your behalf among the Indian Americans with your views on India-US relationship?" he was asked.
"I know India and I understood those young people (Kimberley, Donald J Trump Jr and Ivanka) that you mentioned. They're very good young people. And I know their relationship with India is very good and so is mine," Trump said.
The president said that he has a very good relationship with PM Modi.
"Prime Minister Modi is a friend of mine and he's doing a very good job. Nothing easy, but he's done a very good job," he said as he recollected his historic address at the 'Howdy Mody' event in Houston last September.
"We had an event in Houston, as you know. And it was a fantastic event. I was invited by Prime Minister Modi and this was a massive (event)... And it was incredible. And the prime minister could not have been more generous. We have great support from India. We have great support from Prime Minister Modi," Trump said.
The president then referred to his India visit early this year in February before the coronavirus pandemic hit the two countries.
"I also, as you know, went to India just prior to the pandemic setting in because India has been hit very hard, left really about a week before that, and we had an incredible time. What we saw the people are so incredible it's really an incredible place, an incredible country and its definitely big," he said.
"But you've got a great leader and he''s a great person," Trump said.
In recent weeks both the Democrats and Republicans have intensified their outreach to the Indian American community, in particular in the battle ground states.
