U.S. Muslim leaders announce major initiatives



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

U.S. Muslim Leaders Announce Campaigns to Enhance National Security, Address Rising Islamophobia

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 12/21/15) — The US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), a coalition of leading national and local Muslim organizations, today announced major educational, outreach and civic empowerment initiatives to address growing Islamophobia in America and to enhance national security through the promotion of freedom and justice.

Proposed USCMO initiatives include a drive to register one million voters prior to the 2016 presidential election, a "One America" campaign to enhance understanding of American Muslims and Islam and a "National Open Mosque Day" designed to help increase interactions between American Muslims and citizens of other faiths and backgrounds.

Another initiative planned by the national Muslim coalition includes the formation of new and strengthened alliances with interfaith partners, social justice groups and other minority communities that have faced or continue to face similar challenges.

The USCMO will also seek to increase emergency preparedness for Islamic institutions and individual Muslims to address the rising number of hate incidents nationwide.

USCMO member organizations discussed the real and present threat of violent extremist groups that are preying on young people via the Internet and who twist the meaning of the Quran to justify their atrocities.

It was noted that groups such as Daesh (ISIS) kill more Muslims than they do people of other faiths.

According to law enforcement experts, American Muslims have been on the front line of identifying and reporting suspected violent extremist activity.

USCMO groups shared their experience and information regarding effective "community-driven" solutions to the problems of violent extremism and recruitment with the aim of providing recommended strategies that expand on and improve their current efforts.

The coalition committed itself to combat all forms of violent extremism in the homeland. Experts in the field shared some factors related to radicalization that include isolation, the presentation of a twisted religious ideology and toxic anti-Muslim political rhetoric and negative perceptions of American policy, particularly in the Middle East.

These strategies will seek to prevent the targeting of members of the American Muslim community by those espousing extremist ideologies and will help young people to rejoin the mainstream community.

In each of the initiatives, coalition members will seek to protect the civil liberties of all Americans.

"USCMO leaders and members understand the magnitude of the challenge facing our nation and our community and will not allow either Islamophobes or un-Islamic extremist groups like ISIS to define American Muslims or to decide our fate," said USCMO Secretary General Oussama Jammal. "American Muslims will define themselves and will chart their own destiny by securing both our faith and the security of America."

Speakers at the news conference included representatives of USCMO member groups and other key community leaders. Other organizations represented at the news conference included the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

The initiatives announced at the news conference were discussed Sunday at a day-long national summit of more than 100 national and regional American Muslim leaders held in Virginia and representing all areas of the country and all segments of that faith community.

"...As for Osama bin Laden, the general consensus in Chicago's Arab and Muslim community seems to be that it would have taken more than the resources available to the "Nomad of Afghanistan" to carry out operations of the sophistication and magnitude of the Sept. 11 terror. "How certain are we that it was Arabs who were behind it?" asked Jammal.

Suggesting that Americans look at the causes, he argued that despair and fear are at the roots of terrorism. His remedy: "Go after what makes people hopeless."

Do Americans have the patience for that? Jammal sounded doubtful. "We, as Arabs, are no strangers to suffering," he noted. "Americans are saying now that they are willing to give up some luxuries to get through the next phase. But how long will they hold out?"..."

MIM: The dangerous farce continues with Hamas HQ the Mosque Foundation holding events involving DHS and other security agencies.

Mosque Foundation Hosts DHS Community Engagement Roundtable On April 9, 2015 the Mosque Foundation hosted the Department of Homeland Security Quarterly Community Engagement Roundtable. The DHS Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) organized the roundtable to address concerns and challenges facing minority communities. Over 65 government officials from several agencies such as CRCL, FBI, TSA, and FEMA attended the event as well as leaders from the Muslim community. The topic for this particular roundtable focused on violent extremist recruitment tactics and explored different ways to collectively and holistically address the threat before it becomes more challenging. http://mosquefoundation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=330:round-table&catid=2:uncategorised
