Assalam-alekum (Peace)

The goals of this Group -

** To encourage American Muslim engagement in the greater American society.
** To explore true and pure Islamic values of fellowship and peace, regardless of religion, sect or ethnicity.
** To help non-muslims or new muslims gain knowledge about American Islamic culture through discussion and dialogue.
** To foster a community of support among those sharing these values.

These goals will be addressed via discussions within religion and scripture, art and music, culinary and cultural events, and scientific and educational discourse pertaining to Islam and muslims. Please note - although we are progressive, and like to have fun, the Group subscribes to core Islamic values.

The group is not exclusive and invites muslims and non-muslim supporters to join us in building bridges between anyone who seeks guidance from the Creator and is in the quest for spiritual growth.
