Washington, DC, October 28, 2015 – “Don’t we want our
presidential candidates to be well informed about fellow Americans?” Instead of
worrying about their misunderstandings about American Muslims and Islam, Mike
Ghouse has offered free consulting services to Dr. Ben Carson, and now, he extends
the same to Donald Trump.
Dr. Ghouse adds, “At least the statements they make can square with the U.S.
Constitution and common sense, and hopefully gain respect from fellow Americans
who are Muslims, Mexicans and others. Hilary
Clinton and Bernie Sanders are welcome to access free counseling as well.”
“As American Muslims we
uphold, protect, defend and celebrate the values enshrined in our Constitution.
Our faith reinforces the idea of one nation under God, indivisible with liberty
and justice for all,” Ghouse has written.
Since 9/11, talk show hosts, journalists, lawmakers,
and thought leaders have asked, “Where are the moderate Muslims to join the
debate on social, civic, religious and political issues, including racism and
violent extremism?”
Dr. Ghouse defines “moderate Muslim” as someone who
respects the otherness of others and accepts the God-given uniqueness of each
person in God’s creation. He has published more than 1000 articles on
diverse aspects of Islam and
maintains a blog on Quran, Sharia, Blasphemy, Apostasy,
Hijab, Reforms, Ramadan, Women’s issues and community
relations. He is driven by the pluralistic wisdom in Quran, and his
mission is authenticated by many a verse from Quran.
"Over and over you hear it said: If Muslims
oppose terrorism, why don't they stand up and say it? If that has been you, Mike
Ghouse ought to be your hero,” according the Steve Blow, a columnist with the Dallas Morning News.
Dr. Mike Mohamed Ghouse has recently moved to Washington, D.C., and has undertaken
to speak up where there is public debate about Islam. He is a proud,
unapologetic Moderate Muslim and a passionate advocate of pluralism in
religion, society, politics, race, culture, food and governance. He is a public
speaker, thinker, writer and a commentator on pluralism and interfaith
relations in America, and offers pluralistic solutions on issues of the day.
