WASHINGTON -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations has launched a nationwide project to educate Americans about the faith and to counter anti-Muslim prejudice.

The "Explore Islamic Civilization and Culture" materials will be distributed to 16,000 public libraries in 2003, according to The Associated Press. The Council is launching a pilot program in Los Angeles before the end of 2002.

The materials include the Quran, children's books, audio cassettes and the public TV documentary "Islam: Empire of Faith."

Council executive director Nihad Awad told the AP that libraries struggled to meet the demand for materials about Islam following last year's terrorist attacks.
