Safranim shalom and Shana Tova, Center for Islamic Pluralism (CIP) - a think tank that challenges the dominance of American Muslim life by militant Islamist groups http://www.islamicpluralism.eu/ (website) Very interesting website - it is worthwhile reading their mission statement below. The problem is if only 1% of the 1.5 million Moslems are radical, then you have a lot of people to deal with. I was recently in Nuremburg where I visited a museum dedicated to the hijacking of a nation by radical fanatics who used democracy, violence and threats along with pomp and ceremony and scapegoats to gain power. When they felt secure and saw that the world didn't care, caring only for a false peace ...... the rest is well known. Founded in Washington, DC in 2004, the Center for Islamic Pluralism (CIP) is a think tank that challenges the dominance of American Muslim life by militant Islamist groups. Specifically, our mission is to: Foster, develop, defend, protect, and further mobilize moderate American Muslims in their progress toward integration as an equal and respected religious community in the American interfaith environment; Define the future of Islam in America as a community opposed to the politicization of our religion, its radicalization, and its marginalization, which has taken place because of the imposition on Muslims of attitudes opposed to American values, traditions, and policies; Educate the broader American public about the reality of moderate Islam and the threat to moderate Muslims and non-Muslim Americans represented by militant, political, radical, and adversarial tendencies. 2 of their reports: CIP Issues Major Report - "A Guide to Shariah Law and Islamist Ideology In Western Europe, 2007-2009" (Elazar class # 290.765) http://www.islamicpluralism.eu/PDFs/CIPEuroShariahStudy2009.pdf CIP Issues 2nd 2008 Report "Black America , Prisons, And Radical Islam" (Elazar class # 290.77) http://www.islamicpluralism.eu/PDFs/CIPPrisonStudyforRelease.pdf All the best for 5770, David David Elazar Rishon LeZion, Israel [email protected] Home page http://sites.google.com/site/mtevansco/ Weekly current events update http://sites.google.com/site/mtevansco/Home/elazar-distribution---archive-1 --- Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [email protected] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
