   JOPLIN,  Mo.  (AP)  -  Donors have stepped forward to make sure a rally to support Muslims in Joplin will be held.

   The Neighbors - Joplin Mosque Rally will be held Saturday at Landreth Park.

   Organizer Ashley Carter said several people contributed about $2500 this week to fund the rally, which feature speakers and entertainment.

   The event was planned after a suspicious fire destroyed the Islamic Society of Joplin's mosque on August 6.  A reward totaling $25,000 has been offered for information on the fire.

   The FBI is investigating.
