U.S. — Muslim Engagement Project Issues Report

Such prominent figures as Madeleine Albright, Richard Armitage, Stephen Heintz, Shamil Idriss, Ingrid Mattson, Dalia Mogahed, Vali Nasr, Dennis Ross, Abdallah Schleifer, and ASMA Executive Director Daisy Khan participated in a bipartisan Leadership Group convened by the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project.

The group produced a multi-faceted strategy to enhance U.S. and international security and improve U.S.-Muslim relations. The Project will disseminate this new broad-based strategy, in order to shift American public opinion, impact government policies, and stimulate effective public and private action.

ASMA's Executive Director's offical endorsment of the report said : “This collaborative initiative represents a perfect example of Americans joining together across party lines, religious divides, and ideological perspectives for the common good, to find creative and out-of-the-box solutions to our current impasse on Muslim world-West relations. What politicians cannot do, concerned American citizens have, and this comprehensive and important report is another demonstration of how America’s robust and thriving civil society holds an indispensable voice in shaping not only our country’s future, but our engagement with the world at large.”
