This document provides information about organizing efforts within the American Muslim community. It discusses the impact of Islamophobia which is largely led from the US and has global consequences. It also outlines the realities of US surveillance and national security policies that disproportionately target Muslims. Demographic data on the American and global Muslim populations is presented. Examples of Muslim organizing groups in the San Francisco Bay Area are given to show the diversity. The document concludes by discussing approaches to building out regional Muslim organizing networks across the country.
Contra Costa faith and community leaders are uniting in their call for an end to mass incarceration and mass deportation. This is an overview of the Invest in People, Not Prisons campaign which helped shift over $4 million dollars in Contra Costa County away from a jail expansion and into investments in public services, job training, and housing for people coming home from prison.
Briefly analyzes religious extremism in the global and Indian contexts and concludes that this poses the single biggest threat to India's national integrity. It could also be the driving force for a second Partition of India

This presentation examines on extremism and act of terror committed at the global level. Since extremism is an age-old phenomenon that existed all throughout in the history of mankind, the presentation will focus on the many forms of extremism that happen during this modern age of globalization and telecommunication. The crux of the presentation will focus on the root causes of extremism and how to remedy the ever increasing rate of terror attacks that happens all over the world. The researchers have also highlighted that it is unfair to associate extremism carried out by people to their religions. This sort of an unfair judgment has been done in the case of a Muslim to Islam, while the non-Muslim is associated to mental illness. Last but not least, the researchers call for a concerted effort from all, regardless race and religion to join force to eradicate extremism and make this world a safe place for all to live.
American Muslims or Muslim Americans, whatever the name is, the fact remains that this community is one of the most vibrant and developing in the American mosaic.
The community passed through several stages and generations to reach its current level of engagement and productivity. Organizations such as CAIR represent a successful model where America’s prime values are fought for by Muslims who believe in no contradiction between their dedication for Islam and their American homeland.
This book is a collection of interviews that OnIslam.net’s Politics Zone team has conducted between 2009 and 2013 on issues pertaining to American Muslims in terms of identity, society, political engagement, interfaith dialogues, and US foreign policy.

This slide program explains meaning of bigotry, prejudice and extremism. It explains the history of bigotry, reasons for bigotry. It also tells the Islamic teachings about it. Finally, it guides us how to confront bigotry in the light of Quran and Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Mohammad (SAW). We hope this program will provide beneficial guidelines to face the bigotry.
The Universal Peace Federation and its global network of Ambassadors for Peace bring universal, spiritual principles to the task of resolving conflict and reconciling the divided human family. International Leadership Conferences, symposia and peace councils offer opportunities for high-level consultations. These are complemented by "track II" diplomacy and grass-roots programs that build support for a culture of peace.
World peace can be fully accomplished only when the wisdom and efforts of the world’s religious leaders are combined cooperatively and respectfully with the endeavors of national political leaders. Absent the recognition of spiritual principles, the world has drifted increasingly toward analyses and prescriptions that are materialistic and secular in nature. In so doing, we have lost sight of the profound wisdom to be found in humanity’s spiritual heritage.
Global institutions must be built on a foundation that takes into account the full potential of the human being, not only as a political, economic, and social being, but also as a spiritual being with spiritual needs and a capacity for spiritual wisdom and insight. The legacy of the world’s great saints, prophets, sages, and spiritual leaders cannot be denied or discounted without ignoring what is most fundamental about the human being.
In too many ways the history of religion has been marked by narrow sectarianism, strife, and competitive struggle with other faiths, all to the detriment of the cherished goals and teachings of the founders and scriptures. This cannot continue. The need to eliminate corruption, selfishness, and bad governance applies not only to all nations but also to all of the world’s religions.
Lasting peace depends on cooperative partnerships between governments and religions, as well as NGOs and representatives of the private sector. The United Nations can benefit from a council of religious and spiritual leaders to bring broad vision and wisdom to the effort to address critical global problems. International conferences, publications, networking, and on-the-ground activism are mechanisms for interfaith cooperation and lay a foundation for spiritual renewal at the United Nations.

Freedom of religion is one of the fundamental human rights encapsulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. Over the years, religion has proven to help protect and uphold human existence. However, it has also been used as an excuse for intolerance, violence and extremism in many societies including Nigeria, resulting in death and loss of property. In all these, young people are the most affected. With the recent introduction of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 that emphasizes the importance of youths to work for peace and security, the need for youths to advocate and uphold religious freedom and tolerance has never been more necessary. The quest for religious freedom is not just for religious persons but also for every one of us, as this remains an essential virtue necessary for peace and stability in our pluralistic world. This paper therefore argues that a future of religious freedom is one in which young people can accommodate different belief systems, avoid extremist narratives, and work together towards using religion as an instrument to building societal peace and prosperity.

The primary challenge facing the twenty-first century is to eliminate violence against women. At minimum, 1 in 3 women face violence that suppresses their political and civic participation. Until it is confronted, we will not be able to tackle peace holistically or sustainably, and our development dollars are not being used effectively. Like polio, Rotarians are key to meeting this challenge!

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves.

• Afghan - Afghans for Peace, Afghan American Muslim Outreach
• Yemini - California Yemeni Youth for Change
• Major Organizing also in: Egyptian, Tunisian, Libyan, Iranian, Tunisian, and Somali
37. How we are thinking about this work
moving forward
• Critical that we understand the moral dilemma of what the Muslim community is
facing and how that effects all of us as people of faith
• Need to face down fear about multi-faith and Muslim organizing within the network
• Do network wide webinars on Islam and American Muslims - with accompanying
curricula available to all federations
• Muslims are not denominational meaning we should organize regionally and not by
congregation - can have strong clergy and mosque lead a number of mosques
regionally related to organizing
• Build out regional mapping in key areas: Bay Area, Southern California, New York,
New Jersey, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas and Chicago
• Majority of Federations have at least one mosque or Imam relationship
• Support work going on in the Muslim community throughout the Network
