World Muslim Congress

This group is about Muslims and their civic responsibilities, it is not about religious practices but simply about learning and creating a religious, social and civic space for themselves in the community of faiths. We do not distinguish between a Sunni, Shia, Ahmadiyya, WD Muhammad or the subsets of each group, all believe in God, the Prophet and the accountability of their actions and whoever calls himself or herself a Muslim is a Muslim to us. Currently we are blessed to have our Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Bahai, Sikh and Buddhist friends among us to learn and share their perspective. This is our world and our God collectively. 

Mike Ghouse, World Muslim Congress

Justice ins the only things that will carry us forward

Unless we develop the ability to see our own faults, we are encouraging others to do the same. In the long haul, justice is the only thing that will carry the world forward and sustain the trust between the community of nations. Conflicts continue if we don't find solutions... might has never worked in the history of the world, we either pay through guilt or lose it all in the end, at least the morality.

What kind of future for Israeli and Palestinian Children do we want?

What kind of future do we want for Israeli and Palestinian children? Blame each other and keep doing what we justify? If we want a positive change for our good, others' good has to be a part of the equation, if not both will fail and screw up the future generation. Shame on us.

Religion Bud

God created everything inter-connected, inter-dependent and in harmony, and it is our duty, for our own sake to keep that harmony intact. He deliberately created us to be different, each one with his and her own unique thumb print, eye print, dna, taste bud... and we have to reach out and add religion bud to the portfolio.

We have no problem with your thumb print, taste bud or dna combination, why should we have a problem with your religion bud?

America is God's own country

America is God's own country, a miniature universe represented by all of God's intentional diverse creation.

Among us, we see God as one, none and many; and in every form; male, female, genderless, existent and non-existent, being and non-being, nameless and with innumerable names.

We are also blessed with every season, rivers, snow, desert, forests among things, and every race, ethnicity, language, culture and native traditions among people. 
We are indeed Americans, honoring and respecting each others' pursuit of liberty, justice and happiness. We are the land of the free and the brave.
Mike Ghouse, Public Speaker.
American Together

Humility builds bridges, arrogance destroys them

"Humility builds bridges, arrogance destroys them"

Arrogance breeds conflicts from the word go, both sides are doing their worst to assert their superiority of knowledge and their possessions,  neither is willing to take a back seat. Instead of sitting thinking, talking and acting to produce value, they will be tearing each other down if not overtly, but within the confines of their minds. Humility paves the way to acknowledging each other and giving full credit to the other,  and in turn they produce things of value.

Whatever you do in life, do it wholeheartedly or don't do it.

Whatever you do in life, do it wholeheartedly or don't do it. 

If you are going to do it any way, do it with joy, every one will be happy - if your gripe and do it, no one including you would be happy.

Respecting the otherness of others.

 If we can learn to respect the otherness of others, and accept the God given uniqueness of each one of us, then conflicts fade and solutions emerge" - Mike Ghouse, Public Speaker
