2017 IS THE YEAR OF AMERICAN INTEGRATION  
The Center for Pluralism is committed to Restoring America’s Harmony

The Catholics, Baptists, Mormons and several others on the religious front, the African Americans and Jews on another front, and the LGBT Community have all integrated well into the society despite the tensions now and then, they are all referred to Americans!

Even though the Mexican Americans and Muslim Americans are referred as such, they are not American enough, they are the other to the others. It is no one’s fault, it is simply human nature and every new group has to go through the process of becoming a part of the group, and when they do, their language changes.  You can clearly witness it,  they will get defensive if some one criticizes America or American culture, and they no longer use the language “them” or “Us”. They no longer refer to the others as Americans, because their gut tells them they are as American as anyone.  It becomes a part of their psyche to consider themselves Americans. That is the ultimate day Muslims and Mexicans will be fully integrated.

The Center for pluralism is committed to facilitating opportunities for such integration. One by one, the Mexicans and Muslims will understand the difference between assimilation and integration. In assimilation you lose much of who you are, where as in integration you remain who you are.

My assignment in Washington DC with American Muslim Institution ends in January 2017 and I am going full blast with the center for pluralism.

cfp is committed to build a cohesive America where no one has to live in apprehension or fear of the other.

By working at it, we will learn to respect the otherness of others and accept the God given uniqueness of each one of us.  We live our lives and let others live theirs.

Whether you are white, black, yellow or brown; whether you are a Protestant, Baptist, Lutheran, Evangelical, Mormon, Catholic, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Atheist, immigrant or from the LGBT community or any grouping, and whether you are Rich, poor or live within your means.  You cannot feel safe unless people around you are safe, and you cannot run from place to place chasing security either, how far will you run?

What needs to be done is build cohesive societies where no one has to live in tensions or fear of the other.

If you have been thinking of doing something about it, seeing to it that your kids, grand kids, or even yourselves ( when you choose to retire), would like to live a tension free life.

Either you do it yourselves, we will put those programs up for public to use anywhere, our goal is not who does, but it gets done.

We are creating models for people to do it on their own.
