AMMWEC is a non-profit women’s rights organization empowering Muslim women to confront bigotry in all its forms, celebrate our faith’s beautiful heritage, and build strong bonds with fellow Americans of all backgrounds. Founded as an uplifting alternative to old-guard male-dominated organizations, AMMWEC gives Muslim American women the tools and opportunities to lead. We operate a community helpline for women in need; facilitate a law enforcement internship program for Muslim women; organize female career mentoring networks, and host pioneering women-led interfaith encounters. As maternal pillars of the community, AMMWEC’s leaders feel a responsibility to uphold Islam’s core values of tolerance and personal responsibility to help build the future all Americans deserve.

This is @Stanford Make no mistake - these virulent chants for #Intifada and “From the river to the sea…’” are dangerous. Intifada is a violent call for uprising. It is a call for riots and massive civil insurrection. On American soil. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is an antisemitic slogan commonly featured in anti-Israel campaigns and chanted at demonstrations. This rallying cry has long been used by anti-Israel voices, including supporters of terrorist organizations such as Hamas and the PFLP, which seek Israel’s destruction through violent means. Dear Protestors - Justice is right relationship and righteous behavior. Justice is inclusive of all.. Justice concerns not only individual interest, but also the larger concerns of society and the world. I wish a delegation of you will connect with a delegation of Jewish students on campus. @ammwecofficial we can arrange that. Together - I wish you will consent to mapping out a plan for Gaza. I wish you truly cared about the future of the Palestinians. I wish you would focus on building a leadership for Palestinians that is not rooted in Islamic #Jihad and terror. Together as Jewish and Pro Palestinian students - you must Call on the government of @netanyahu to concurrently engage in and build solidarity with a Palestinian leadership that is committed to nonviolence and co-existence… There’s so much work to do and nothing will be achieved by the protests!

Deen and Anila Ali , three powerful #muslimallies who are a part of an incredible female-led organization - the American Muslim & Multifaith Women's Empowerment Council (AMMWEC). These powerful Muslim female leaders are using their voices to strengthen their communities, confront bigotry in all its forms, celebrate cultural heritage, and build enduring bonds with #allies of all faiths. We are proud to partner with organizations like AMMWEC, who align with our values of #allyship, #unity, and fighting hatred in all its forms. Like us, they firmly believe that #ChangeStartsTogether 🫱🏼🫲🏾 #muslimjewishallyship #buildingbridges #jewishmuslimalliance
We stand with our Christian brethren in Pakistan. Protecting minorities is a tenant of Islam- the persecution of Christians must stop.

کیا میں بھی پاکستان ہوں؟ 😭🇵🇰 Today, every Christian in Pakistan is grappling with a poignant question, "Am I also a Pakistani?" 😭😭😭 The wounds of the Christians from Jaranwala were still bleeding when another tragic incident unfolded, targeting Pakistani Christians in Sargodha. On May 25, 2024, Lazar Masih, a Christian factory owner, and his family faced a violent assault by a mob in Mujahid Colony. Fueled by false allegations of Quran desecration, the mob ruthlessly attacked Masih and set fire to his property, while bystanders, including children, joined in the chaos, recording the events on their phones. Ayub Gondal, Masih's jealous neighbor, was identified as the instigator of the violence, exploiting existing tensions to sow communal discord. By falsely accusing Masih of blasphemy, Gondal incited the mob's rage, resulting in the destruction of Masih's home and factory. Despite Masih's innocence, the mob continued its rampage. However, subsequent investigations revealed the falsehood of the accusations, confirming that no Quran pages were involved. Instead, Masih's family was innocently disposing of waste materials, underscoring the dangerous consequences of unfounded allegations in fueling violence against religious minorities. The question arises that since the creation of Pakistan till today, we have witnessed countless false examples in which Christians have been unjustly targeted, falsely implicated in blasphemy cases, and later proven innocent. Despite these past incidents, no action has ever been taken against anyone, leading to the recurrence of such events time and again. So, are Christians not part of Pakistan? Are Christians not Pakistani citizens? Is there no one to wipe away their tears? Is there no one to deliver them justice? The voice of every Pakistani Christian echoes, asking, "Am I also Pakistan?" دیکھو گے تو ہر موڑ پہ مل جائیں گی لاشیں ڈھونڈوگے تو اس شہر میں قاتل نہ ملے گا۔ Katrina Lantos Swett Chelsea Hedquist Nadine Maenza Anila Ali United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Dr. Michael E.

An incredible honor for us #MuslimWomen to meet #FelixKlein in Berlin, with a delegation led by @sharakango. Felix is the Federal Government’s Commissioner for Jewish Life in Germany. Felix reports directly to the Chancellor and the government. Felix reminds us of the most simple ways in which we can get to know the Jewish people “I went inside a synagogue for the first time in Trieste- my best friend was Tyler Barrs, a Canadian of Jewish origins. I learned how the Jewish community has been so crucial for the history and culture of Italy and Europe.” As Commissioner, Felix’s task lies in tackling measures at the federal, state or civil society levels; he also promotes the importance of education in increasing the awareness of past and present instances of Antisemitism.
