As Muslims, we have embarked on smaller goals
- When extremists do extreme things, we will quit saying,”that is not Islam” “they are the fanatic fringe” –“they are wrong” – “they are illiterate”. That is the tail saving mechanism – and no one believes it, let’s not pass the buck.
- To let fellow Americans know that there is an alternative behavior taught by the prophet, and we are going to practice it in Florida, and set the new standards of behavior from here forward. Over a period of time, what others do would not be the norm, but what we “do” (not talk) would be the norm.
- To comfort fellow humanity, Muslims will not deny the wrong doers amongst us, but acknowledge that they are a part of us. People accept the truth, and that is the case with every religious or social group, Muslims are no exception.
- If we genuinely believe that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a mercy to mankind, our actions must reflect that. If you get frustrated and deviate from that belief because others don’t get it, please get out of defending the prophet, Quran or Islam, they will survive without you and they have. We hurt their repute more by defending them with our bad behavior. We don’t own the prophet or God; they belong to whole humanity, don’t they?
- To be the Amins of the society – to be trust worthy and truthful, every individual must feel safe and secure with you and you will be absolutely just, even it hurts you financially or emotionally. Wasn’t that the first example of the Prophet? Wasn’t that the right foundation to live and let live?
- Please read exactly we are planning to do at www.UnityDayUSA.com and at www.WorldMuslimCongress.com
- Please get on the phone and find Muslims in Florida to attend the event to affirm that this is what Muslims believe.
- Find or fly a Muslim Hijabi girl to sing National Anthem. The National TV coverage will be the there as well.
- We need funding – We have received $ 1,850.00 and we need $5000.00. Your donation will give you much better results, please donate over $100 and all names will be listed on the site www.UnityDayUSA.com and www.WorldMuslimCongress.com

Take a look what we are doing for a small budget.
