(WASHINGTON DC - October 2, 2009) The Islamic Information Center is proud to announce, that as a result of the American Leadership Initiative for Muslims that took place on the July 17th, 2009 weekend, the creation of a blog to analyze politics, media, and interfaith on the worldwide arena.
Congresswoman Donna Edwards speaks with various IIC staff at 2009 ALIM Convention.This blog will examine modern day issues that the mainstream media is focusing upon. The purpose of this blog is to provide IIC readers with the opportunity to see how Muslims and Islamic theology view modern day topics. Entries in the IIC Blog include President Obama's "Public Option" for healthcare and how
Imam Ali actually solved the same problem when he was the head of the government, IIC's
recent meeting with Congressman Keith Ellison, the recent up and downs in the
stock market, health care reform and corruption, the recent and ignored
earthquake in the Southeast Pacific and more!
In fact, there's even a
poll about how Muslim's feel about the Public Option that readers can vote in!
Over the past several years, it has becoming increasingly important for the Muslim community to engage the United States.
The American Leadership Initiative for Muslims (ALIM) Convention series is dedicated to coming up with actionable ideas, plans, and initiatives. At the conclusion of each annual convention, attendees return to their home communities with specific plans of action, and the Islamic Information Center will help to coordinate these nationwide initiatives throughout the year.
The blog will be regularly updated and is targeted to both Muslim and non-Muslim audiences.
