We are  blessed to be Americans, the land of the free. And we are willing to stand up for the liberties
of fellow Americans, and fellow humanity, because we believe that
all men are created Equal.

I am proud to be an American!

WHO ARE
WE?  

We are Americans! We are one nation under God, indivisible with
liberty and justice for all.

We are represented by every
race, nationality, ethnicity, language, culture and religion.
Collectively, we see God as
one, none and many and in every form; male, female, genderless and
non-existent, being and non-being, nameless and with innumerable names.
Americans together are
committed to preserving the pluralistic heritage of America

TRAILER
OF THE FILM: Americans Together

No American has to live in apprehension or fear of the other. 
We have systems in place to safeguard that.

The safety, security
and freedom of every American hinges on each others safety.  I cannot
be safe if people around me are not!

I cannot be secure if I threaten others around me…

If we can learn to respect
the otherness of others and accept  the
God given uniqueness of each one of us, then conflicts fade and solutions
emerge.

Delivered at the Annual Ahmadiyya Muslim convention

ISLAM, AMERICA
AND JULY 4th.

Freedom is one of the most
cherished values of humanity and I am pleased to share its arrangement in
American and Islamic space. Both emphasize the freedom of conscience, justice
and liberty.  

As American Muslims, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.”

How to Build a Cohesive America
by Mike Ghouse
Deep down, all of us want a just society where everyone feels safe and
secure without anxiety, discomfort or fear of the other. If we can learn to
respect the otherness of others and accept the God-given uniqueness of each one
of us, then conflicts fade and solutions emerge. Motivational speaker and writer
Mike Ghouse will take us through common aspirations to our rights and
obligations, and how each one of us can contribute toward such a society in the
simplest way. Indeed, Ghouse asserts, we want to live our lives as good
neighbors and let others live theirs.
10:30 AM – 11:45 AM
Norris: Sage
Standing up for Others
by Mike Ghouse
Standing up for others is the right thing to do. If we don’t stand up for
those who are vulnerable, then who will stand up for us when we are vulnerable?
This program will be heavy on real examples of standing up for others from
atheists to Zoroastrians and every one in between including immigrants, LGBT and
others. It is a moving story that almost everyone can relate to. Motivational
speaker and writer Mike Ghouse hopes that this program will inspire each person
to go out and do small acts of goodness on their own.
