American Muslims have launched a new website they hope will defuse hostility over a proposed Islamic center near ground zero.  

Washington attorney Hassan says he and a small group of fellow Muslims created a website called myfaithmyvoice so that American Muslims can upload videos of themselves.

The website suggests that users introduce themselves and say "I am American. I am Muslim," and "I don't want to impose my faith on you." But Ahmad says they can upload any message they want.

Ahmad believes it will be a forum for average Muslims to show they're like other Americans.
