Muslims Hope for Peace during Ramadan

International (MNN) -- During the month of Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance into the future, and try to purify themselves. The daily fast is broken at sundown with a large feast. David Harder with SAT-7 says it's also the time when families get together to watch television. "All the satellite channels that are focused on the Middle East put their best shows on, trying to capture this huge audience. Right now, what we at SAT-7 are doing is also trying to capture some of the audience with some of our programs to help people find out more about Jesus and about the peace that they can have through knowing Jesus." SAT-7's new "Peace Amidst Violence" campaign uses its programming to address the issue of violence, challenging viewers to think about Christ and how they can respond to violence around them. "People can be praying that those who are seeking to know the true God will experience Him, and we're hoping at SAT-7, both for new Christians and for those who may be seeking, that they'll really come to know the true and living God during this time."
