The Islamic Supreme Council of America (ISCA) is a non-profit, non-governmental religious organization dedicated to working for the cause of Islam on a bilateral level.
On the first level, we aim to be a resource for both Muslim individuals and organizations in America to receive legal advice from scholars and religious institutions throughout the world on issues that arise as Islamic traditions come into contact with American culture.
ISCA aims to provide practical solutions for American Muslims, based on the traditional Islamic legal rulings of an international advisory board, many of whom recognized as the highest ranking Islamic scholars in the world. For the first time in America, we have tried to integrate traditional scholarship in resolving contemporary issues affecting the maintenance of Islamic beliefs in a modern, secular society.
On the second level, we intend to work closely and proactively with non-Muslim individuals and organizations to present Islam as a religion of moderation, tolerance, peace and justice.
Islam - America’s fastest growing faith - is too often mischaracterized and marginalized. ISCA will stress the common heritage of Islam, Christianity and Judaism in an effort to foster mutual respect between all cultures and religions. Through knowledge and education, ISCA believes we can reshape the Western view of Islam and Muslims together - to not only benefit American Muslims, but also to encourage positive U.S. foreign policy towards countries with large Muslim populations.
- ISCA supports peace wherever it exists.
- ISCA supports the precept of “justice for all,” condemning all violations of human rights.
- ISCA openly and actively denounces all types of terrorism, whether intellectual, cultural or ideological.
- ISCA supports the non-proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
- ISCA commits to strengthening the values of charity, family love, education and public responsibility in American life.
Not affiliated with any government, political party or political agenda, ISCA stresses civil duty, active participation in politics, and taking responsibility for shaping the future of America.
