"OUR MUSLIM NEIGHBORS: TV PROGRAM of TELECARE—Oct 2003 to May 2005 Background: This program was initiated by Monsignor Thomas Hartman—RIP-- who publicly expressed his concerns about the negative portrayal of Muslims on TV and media in general post 9/11. He wanted to portray the Muslims as he saw them on Long Island and beyond. This led to a collaboration between Islamic Center of Long Island in Westbury and the Catholic TV channel Telecare. The program hosts were the well-known God Squad team of Monsignor Thomas Hartman and Rabbi Marc Gellman. This program, in my view played a big role clearing up many misconceptions about Islam and Muslims. Special appreciation and thanks to Mike Geoghan the executive producer of the Our Muslim Neighbor program." Prof Faroque A Khan. Chair Interfaith Institute of Long Island
