Announcing
ISCA’s Nationwide Agenda to Support the Pakistan-Kashmir Caucus
(Washington,
DC 07/24/00) – ISCA
announces its nationwide agenda to mobilize support for the Congressional
Pakistan Kashmir Caucus. This
Caucus is the only officially recognized entity in the U.S. Government uniquely
positioned to defend the rights of Muslims in South Asia, particularly Pakistan
and Kashmir.
However,
the Caucus WILL NOT SURVIVE without the support of the Muslim community! We must
contact our respective Congressional representatives, urging them to join the
Caucus and to actively support its platform in Congress. To determine contact
information for your congressional representative, please go to www.islamicsupremecouncil.org
If
the Caucus is forced to dissolve due to lack of Congressional participation,
Muslims will only have our own lack of commitment to blame. In addition, it will
take years to recover the integrity lost to such a failure.
Muslim
leadership must initiate grass roots efforts amongst their members across the
country. We appeal to the members
of organizations such as the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the American Muslim
Council, and Islamic Society of North America to contact their leaders and
insist they institute programs to support the Caucus. Unity of purpose and
dedication is the only way we as a people will thrive and succeed.
Please
note that to date no other congressperson has joined Major Owens in the Caucus.
This reflects not only the difficulty in getting Muslim issues
recognized, but our own lack of dedication to the plight of Kashmir.
A Pakistan Caucus was formed several years ago but failed due to lack of
support. We must not let that
happen again with the Pakistan Kashmir Caucus.
If
you or your Muslim community would like instructions on how you can ensure the
continuance of the Caucus or would like information on the policies of the
Caucus, please contact ISCA General Secretary, Dr. Hedieh Mirahmadi at
202-939-3400 ext. 2
Please continue to support the Islamic Supreme Council of America’s efforts. We do not receive foreign aid from governments or individuals, and therefore depend upon you, the American Muslim, for financial support. Please contribute generously to ensure our continued service towards an improved quality of life for Muslims in America.
