DETROIT -- A group known as the “TheCall” says they’re planning to gather at Ford Field on 11-11-11 to "fast, pray, and cry out to God... [for the] economic collapse, racial tension, and the shedding of innocent blood of our children in the streets.

But the Associated Press says the 24-hour prayer gathering has the area's Muslim population on edge.  While the group's website doesn't specifically target the Islamic faith, Muslim leaders in Detroit tell the AP they're concerned attendees will interfere with services at local mosques.

You can find more out about the event by visiting TheCall website. Meanwhile, you can watch the group's video previewing the event in the video box below.
