Loss of life in San Bernardino is unequivocally condemned by Muslims.

Washington, DC, December 3, 2015 � Our hearts go out to the families of the victims and their loved ones, 14 people have lost their lives to senseless violence and another 17 are seriously injured. We pray with our hearts, souls and minds, asking God to guide us all to restore peace and sanity.

American Muslims condemns this violent crime and urge the law enforcement agencies to track down all possible links to these violent acts, if any.

It is time for the law enforcement officials to investigate the backgrounds of the suspected individuals to understand the sources and causes for their violent and criminal behavior, as it is a serious breach of security and to take corrective measures.

As fellow Americans and fellow Muslims, it is our duty and collective responsibility to keep law and order and faithfully guard the safety of every citizen. Hate is one of the many sources of disrupting the peace in a society and it is the duty of all of us to track down the source of such hate and work on mitigating it.  

It is a heinous crime perpetrated by a couple of individuals and must be fully investigated.  Blaming religion will not do any good to anyone but create chaos, distrust and apprehension.  Restoring peace, harmony and sanity should be our goal as Americans of all creeds and ethnic backgrounds.  
 

Ben Carson and Trump get offers from a Moderate Muslim

Washington, DC, October 28, 2015 � �Don�t we want our presidential candidates to be well informed about fellow Americans?� Instead of worrying about their misunderstandings about American Muslims and Islam, Mike Ghouse has offered free consulting services to Dr. Ben Carson, and now he extends the same to Donald Trump.

Ghouse adds, �I hope the statements they make can square with the U.S. Constitution and common sense, and hopefully gain respect from fellow Americans who are Muslims, Mexicans and others.  Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are welcome to access free counseling as well.�

�As American Muslims we uphold, protect, defend and celebrate the values enshrined in our Constitution. Our faith reinforces the idea of one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all,� Ghouse has written.

Since 9/11, talk show hosts, journalists, lawmakers, and thought leaders have asked, �Where are the moderate Muslims to join the debate on social, civic, religious and political issues, including racism and violent extremism?�

�Over and over you hear it said: If Muslims oppose terrorism, why don�t they stand up and say it? If that has been you, Mike Ghouse ought to be your hero,� according the Steve Blow, a columnist with the Dallas Morning News (Dallas Morning News ).

Dr. Ghouse defines �moderate Muslim� as someone who respects the otherness of others and accepts the God-given uniqueness of each person in God�s creation.  He has published more than 1000 articles on diverse aspects of Islam and maintains a blog on Quran, Sharia, Blasphemy, Apostasy, Hijab, Reforms, Ramadan, Women�s issues and community relations.  He is driven by the pluralistic wisdom in Quran, and his mission is authenticated by many a verse from Quran.

Dr. Mike Mohamed Ghouse has recently moved to Washington, D.C., and has undertaken to speak up where there is public debate about Islam. He is a proud, unapologetic Moderate Muslim and a passionate advocate of pluralism in religion, society, politics, race, culture, food and governance. He is a public speaker, thinker, writer and a commentator on pluralism and interfaith relations in America, and offers pluralistic solutions on issues of the day.

Inshallah, when we are seen as contributors to the Unity, peace, prosperity and security of our nation, we will become a positive part of the American story. 

American Muslims send their best wishes to President Carter.

We send our respectful wishes to President Carter and pray for his speedy recovery. We also pray and wish him a longer life, and hope he can witness the fruition of his work that he started for lasting peace in the Middle East. He is a genuine peace maker and a blessing to the world � and the true earner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

On August 20, 2015 - President Jimmy Carter announced that his cancer has spread to his brain and doctors in Atlanta found four "very small spots" of melanoma. Carter, who turns 91 in October, started receiving radiation yesterday.   

Carter is one of the presidents who remained active with the American people building homes for the poor through the Habitat for Humanity. He was instrumental in eradication of debilitating diseases in Africa like the guinea worm. The President traveled around the world monitoring democratic process taking roots, and watching the genuine voting process.

He is the most gracious man; he kept smiling and dedicated his life for humanity.  May God bless him a long life, and let the humanity benefit from his good work.
