We believe that, above all, God's promises are true. He instructs us to keep our promises too, and to be firm in standing up for justice.
We also believe in the promise of America, but prejudice is standing in the way. Fortunately, the laws of this land provide the foundation for an America with liberty and justice for all, and Muslim Legal Fund of America is
here to ensure that these promises are fulfilled.
Despite the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal justice, Muslims still face violations of religious freedom from law enforcement, employers, and other federal agencies.
Worse yet, these actions don’t just affect individuals -- they affect families and entire communities.
WHAT ARE THE BROKEN PROMISES OF AMERICA?
Freedom of Religion – Muslim prisoners are denied halal meals and other religious accommodations. Federal employees who identify as Muslim are treated with suspicion and often lose their jobs as a result.
Freedom of Movement – Muslims face unique travel restrictions in the form of the No-Fly List and "special security screenings" without due process.
Freedom of Assembly – Groups are abusing zoning laws to take away right to build and expand mosques.
Freedom of Speech – More than 300 nonprofits lost status since 2011 as Muslims charities receive undue scrutiny.
Financial Security – Banks are closing accounts of Muslims because of new regulations making it more difficult to provide humanitarian aid overseas.
Opportunity – Immigration delays, denials or other harmful actions on the basis of the applicant being Muslims.
We hold America accountable to its broken promises, and vow to defend the rights and liberties afforded to all its citizens, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, identity, or background.
Our mission is to advance equality and justice for American Muslim organizations and individuals by promoting legal compliance and protecting their rights in matters concerning national security law.
WE BELIEVE THAT:
The U.S. Bill of Rights Applies to Muslims in America.
Muslims Have the Right to Fair Trials.
Being Muslim ShouldNotMake You a Suspect or Target of Law Enforcement Agencies.
Injustice Against One is an Injustice Against All.
Without Justice, There is No Freedom or Liberty.
John, will you join us in fulfilling promises and upholding an America for
all?
