Our Responsibility

There is a tremendous amount of responsibility on our shoulders. The Muslim community is different from its forerunners in searching for the American dream. In this modern materialistic mayhem, we are the only community who can offer a panacea for the spiritually dead hearts.
Similar to any disease, the moral decay in this blessed land of ours has signs and symptoms. The pop culture represented by film, television, radio, video games, book publishing, internet, comics etc. is fast eroding the banks of the river. Unfortunately, the country that was founded on the principle, "In God We Trust" has given way to "Obey Your Thirst". What is our contribution?
This is an open call to swim against the current and to rescue others. The American Muslim community can contribute to a healthy, beautiful, and moral America only when we go beyond our narcissistic impetus and contribute to the spiritual need of America.

In God We Trust.

You may have probably seen this already. It's a video link a friend sent me called "Turning Muslim in Texas". It follows former conservative white christians from Texas who have converted to Al-Islam. Subhan'Allah!
