The Islamic Association of the Finger Lakes (IAFL) serves the Muslim community of the greater Finger Lakes region within the Southern Tier of New York. IAFL seeks to provide an amiable atmosphere to the Muslims of the area for regular prayers, and other activities associated with the Muslim calendar. IAFL also seeks to build relationships with communities of other faiths in the Finger Lakes region. They aspire to be an inclusive place that is open to peoples of all faiths. Members of IAFL hail from nearly 40 countries across five continents. This video was produced by a group of high school students from IAFL.
