U.S. Muslim Company launches 1st Islamic greeting card tailored for diverse American audience. Aims to promote proper image of Islam in America.
September 30, 2004 (Press Release) --
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, October 15, 2004 – On the morning of September 11, 2001, Mukhtar Muhammad was preparing shipments of Genesis of New American Leadership: A Muslim Commentary for nationwide distribution. The title had just rolled off the press. He was about to depart his office when his wife called. “I could tell just by the breaking of her voice as she hurriedly said, get to a TV, that something serious was occurring. Yet the words she said next blurred all reason…a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center.”
That was three years ago. Since then, Muhammad has served at the highest levels of leadership for the largest identifiable body of Muslims in America and addressed strategic leadership and management issues facing Islamic institutions. Today, the national speaker and consultant travels to mosques, churches, and colleges to share the true message of Al-Islam.
In April 2004, Muhammad addressed governors from Afghanistan as part of a State Department visit. His topic: “Respecting and Trusting the Group Intellect: Essential Foundations in Islamic and American Democracy” proclaimed: “The Muslim American Dream is deeply rooted in the American Dream defined by “one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”
What is it about Mukhtar Muhammad that places him at the table of dialogue on leadership and Islam in America? He's earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in business, is a company Vice President, a former Naval Officer and third generation Muslim. Yet perhaps it was Muhammad’s foresight prior to 9-11 that makes him a sought after speaker. In Genesis, he wrote: “...In the last 20 years, the greatest source of damage to the image of Islam has been the failure of the global Muslim leadership to speak out unequivocally against wrong, even if it be against those who call themselves Muslim.”
Speaking of foresight, Muhammad points to Imam Wallace Deen Mohammed. “I was 13 when W. Deen Mohammed became the leader for millions of American Muslims and gave us a mission to “remake the world.” W. Deen Mohammed is the son of the late Elijah Muhammad. W. Deen Mohammed is credited with rebuilding a former nationalist organization into a thriving new Muslim community anchored in the Qur’an. "He protected the young Muslim community from elements of radicalism and extremism. Now 30 years later, we may be in the best position to correct the misbehavior of some of our "family members" (extremist Muslims)," says Muhammad.
The author and publishing executive is using his foresight again, this time to create Islamic greeting cards aimed at correcting misconceptions. Muhammad states, “Our card is the first greeting media designed for the broader American public. The goal is to publish a product that conveys the true spirit of Islam.
Muhammad is working with mosques across the nation. Bearing the motto: “Because the right message about Al-Islam can make a world of difference,” the company's brochure encourages all Muslims to give greetings yearly. “We want to make a difference as a successful business and as a leader in making the world a better place.
