This report by the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project details a comprehensive approach to improving U.S.-Muslim relations with a multi-faceted strategy towards enhancing U.S. and international security.
Creating partnerships for peace with Muslim countries and communities is one of the greatest challenges--and opportunities--facing the United States today. Currently, conflict, misunderstanding, and distrust plague U.S. relations with Muslims in many countries, imperiling security for all. Maintaining the status quo raises the specter of prolonged confrontation, catastrophic attacks, and a cycle of retaliation.
Despite these tensions, the vast majority of Americans and Muslims around the world want peace, amicable relations, good governance, prosperity and respect. Policies and actions--not a clash of civilizations--are at the root of our divisions.
This Report outlines a comprehensive strategy for the U.S. to enhance international security by improving relations with key Muslim countries and communities. The strategy reflects the consensus of 34 American leaders, including 11 Muslim Americans, in the fields of foreign and defense policy, politics, business, religion, education, public opinion, psychology, philanthropy, and conflict resolution.
