  • Charitable Practices of Muslim Americans in the Greater Kansas City Area
    Charitable Practices of Muslim Americans in the Greater Kansas City Area By Joe Hall Submitted to the graduate degree program in Global and International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson: Majid Hannoum ________________________________ Naima Boussofara ________________________________ Jessica Gerschultz Date Defended: January 29, 2014 The Thesis Committee for Joe Hall certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Charitable Practices of Muslim Americans in the Greater Kansas City Area ________________________________ Chairperson: Majid Hannoum Date approved: January 29, 2014 ii Abstract The purpose of this research is to explore the state of post-9/11 Muslim American philanthropy within The Greater Kansas City Area. Since 2001, the U.S. government has expanded its counterterrorism policies to target sources of terrorist funding and in particular the charitable sector. Many Muslim Americans practice the Islamic traditions of zakāt (obligatory alms) and ṣadaqah (discretionary charity) as a means of honoring faith, strengthening the community and preserving religious identity. There is a perception, however, that these practices are in direct conflict with U.S. counterterrorism policy. The outcome of the decade long War on Terrorism is telling; to date, The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has shut down seven US-based Islamic charities and frozen over $2.3 billion in charitable assets (TAR, 2012: 2) in the effort to stem terrorist funding. These actions were taken under the auspices of national security, however, they gave a perception that U.S.

  • In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful U.S
    In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful U.S. MUSLIM RELIGIOUS COUNCIL ISSUES FATWA AGAINST TERRORISM The Fiqh Council of North America wishes to reaffirm Islam's absolute condemnation of terrorism and religious extremism. Islam strictly condemns religious extremism and the use of violence against innocent lives. There is no justification in Islam for extremism or terrorism. Targeting civilians’ life and property through suicide bombings or any other method of attack is haram – or forbidden - and those who commit these barbaric acts are criminals, not “martyrs.” The Qur’an, Islam’s revealed text, states: "Whoever kills a person [unjustly]…it is as though he has killed all mankind. And whoever saves a life, it is as though he had saved all mankind." (Qur’an, 5:32) Prophet Muhammad said there is no excuse for committing unjust acts: "Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong you will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong (even) if they do evil." (Al-Tirmidhi) God mandates moderation in faith and in all aspects of life when He states in the Qur’an: “We made you to be a community of the middle way, so that (with the example of your lives) you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind.” (Qur’an, 2:143) In another verse, God explains our duties as human beings when he says: “Let there arise from among you a band of people who invite to righteousness, and enjoin good and forbid evil.” (Qur’an, 3:104) Islam teaches us to act in a caring manner to all of God's creation.
