The way of life (religion), Al-Islam (commonly
called Islam) is universal, it forbids wrong doing of any type, greed and
racism. It promotes morality and individual enlightenment. Those who accept
Al-Islam must be resolved to keep the peace and demonstrate the best citizenship.
Muslims are not anti-American, anti- Semitic nor anti-Christian. Muslims endeavor to aid in improving life for all people in society. Though ideas and statements promoting culture and race are essential for people and the state of mind people need to maintain, comments of this nature do not necessarily satisfy our need for identity or leadership, nor an individual or groups endeavors to find their place within the peoples of the world, particularly in the United States. Leadership must be responsible and accountable and if that cannot be so, we must not categorize them as leaders nor persons with our best interest in mind. As Muslims differ with others in ideology and/or philosophy in the context of religion, we strive for peace and co-existence with all people who believe in the creator and that they are accountable to the creator. We do not confuse culture, nationalism or any civil rights activism with religion. Any message that appeals to the emotions and sentiments but fails to adequately enlighten, educate and promote intelligence, individual and societal growth and community development is nothing more than sensationalism. As leaders we must have the insight to understand that people can be exploited, taken advantage of and basically written off by those that dismiss the credibility of humanity. The natural and innate goodness in all people regardless of their distinctions and diversity must be cultivated so that we can see beyond those distinctions and diversity and appreciate the beauty of humanity and its progression. As this concept, which is a reality grows and becomes more apparent we can look to much success. People would be empowered to address their common interest and concerns; they would be better equipped to address matters of global importance. Let us look beneath the labels put on people and that
we put on people. That will open the door to true enlightenment. Our goal
is to lead in aiding and educating society in life essentials, social
stability and to demonstrate the beauty and practicality in addition to
the reality of Al-Islam. We pray and hope to work with all right minded
persons and groups who intend good and work for the good of all people. |
