I Advice - Building Institutions - A Path To Racial And Social Integration For Muslims In The American Society
Want to impress your friends/peers/associates [choose one] with a classy MySpace layout? Here are 5 easy tips on how to do this:1) The Power of ParagraphsSince most MySpace users know very little about web design, what you'll often see on a MySpace page is an 'About Me' section filled up with a huge unbroken block of text. No matter how captivating the writing is, most will tire of reading this after the first four or five lines and especially so if it continues on for another 20 or 30 lines. You'll want to avoid making the same mistake of overwhelming your readers by putting your text into nice bite-size paragraphs.Unfortunately for non-geeks, when you create paragraphs by hitting the Return key twice while typing into any text box on your MySpace 'Edit Profile' screen, this will not result in paragraphs created on your MySpace page after you hit the 'Save All Changes' button and you view your profile page. To properly format your text into paragraphs on your MySpace page, you'll need to type in: ...every time you wish to start a new paragraph. Then when you click on the 'Save All Changes' button and view your profile, you'll see your text formatted into paragraphs. That's it. That's all. Angle bracket, p, angle bracket.

On consulting assignments, here are some of the questions I frequently ask the employees I interview:1. How does your boss measure you?2. When the end of the year rolls around, how do you know if you have done a good job over the previous 12 months?3. If you wanted to receive a raise double the amount that you typically receive, what do you believe you would have to do to qualify?Only on rare occasions are employees (except for salespeople) able to answer these questions since many owners and managers are still prone to give their people discretionary raises and in many cases discretionary year-end bonuses.Experience has taught me that adults perform best when they know specifically what performance they must achieve to qualify for a specific dollar amount of year-end bonus incentive payment.In high school and college, students earn grades depending on how well they score on quizzes during the grading period. They know that if they get all of the answers right all year, odds are excellent that they will earn an “A” grade.In baseball, most players are paid a salary, but most are also paid a specific incentive payment based on how they perform against measurable objectives, i.e., stolen bases, homeruns, batting average, RBI, runs scored, e

Suddenly, in fall of 2005 the Muslim community in the blue color city of Birmingham found itself at odds with its non Muslim neighbors. This came as a big surprise to many, as most of the Muslims living in this city were 2nd or 3rd generation British born and raised. They paid taxes, lived and worked next to there non Muslim neighbors and sent there children to public schools. So why after living in a country and in a community for decades did they find themselves alienated and targeted? One can spend many hours debating over the evidence, but the one fact remains, it happened, and It shouldn’t have surprised us at all; as mere residency in a society is not necessarily a sign of Cultural or Social integration. I believe that in order for a sub community to fully integrate itself; it must at least perceive to have a stake in the overall process and the ability to influence it. The creation of local institutions facilitates and helps communities organize in an influential manner. These give the community a sense of ownership and stake, allowing its members to participate and influence the overall agenda. To be effective these institutions need to be diverse and varied; spanning cultural, financial, religious and political boundaries.
For the American Muslim community, the current landscape is fairly bleak. There are very few world class Muslim institutions, and the ones that do exist, provide the most fundamental and rudimentary services to its constituents. The existing infrastructure consists of mostly religious hubs such as Mosques and Islamic schools; these are the first to mushroom in any new community and help regulate the basic needs of its members, e.g. prayers, marriages, religious education, funeral services etc. In all major US metro areas these have flourished and service levels have improved over time.

Consolidate debt and take the worry out of making monthly payments. When was the last time a month passed by without you stressed about bill payments, or how much you charged on your credit cards?Your debt just seems to keep growing and you find it harder and harder to make ends meet. With the average household having 10 credit cards, you are probably finding it more difficult to keep track of multiple credit card payments, bills, loan statements, and more. If you consolidate debt, you can make it much easier to pay off your debt.When you consolidate debt, you combine your multiple debts into one easy to manage loan. By doing this, you make one payment each month to one lender instead of having to keep track of a bunch of different debts from multiple lenders. It makes it much easier to manage and you lower your risk of missing payments and ruining your credit.Negotiating a debt consolidation loan allows you to get a lower interest rate. In order to be competitive, lenders usually offer a lower interest rate than you are currently paying on your outstanding debts (especially credit cards). This can save you a great deal of money over the long run.When you consolidate debt, you lower your monthly payments. Having only one loan lowers the amount you will have to r

With over 25 years of research and experience, we have observed countless groups struggle with activities in our Team Building Seminars. These groups all had the same common denominators, whether they were strangers or intact work teams, that became apparent during the first activity in which they were asked to work effectively together.At least four issues were found to inhibit these start-up groups from functioning as a team:Task fixation, process blindness Power struggles Fight versus flight Stereotyping Task Fixation, Process BlindnessIndividual members justify any behavior as okay if it contributes to achieving the end-product – successful completion of the tasks needed in achieving the goal. Little or no concern was exhibited for how the group functioned during the (teambuilding) goal – the process. We were able to magnify this view by placing time limits on performance of our exercises within the team building seminar.With this view, any means justify the end, like sacrificing team members, forming sub-groups to the exclusion of others, or not getting the commitment of all team members, are justified under the rubric of getting the task accomplished: “We had to do that to get the job done.” Who can argue

Over the last decade the Islamic education sector has seen rapid growth, this is largely due to significant demand for quality primary education by mostly professional and affluent Muslim parents. Larger schools, focusing not just on primary but secondary and High School education are also starting to appear at an accelerated pace throughout major metropolitan suburbs. In principal these schools are structured similar to the Catholic school system and focus on teaching standard curriculum with additional focus on Islamic education. The growing economic disparity between the urban lower middle class and there fellow suburban dwelling professionals is alarming, and as a result, the larger more established schools find themselves catering mostly to the affluent Muslims; leaving the urban families with limited options.
Although a few Muslim Universities and Colleges exist, they are still very few and far apart. On this front, some geographic areas have done better than others, for example the Chicagoland community has made progress with the establishment and rapid growth of East West University. An institution started over two decades ago now boasting enrollment of close to 2000 students, mostly non Muslims. Offering Liberal Arts and Engineering curriculum, East West University is an excellent example of a simple idea turning into a local institution, serving not only its original constituents, but a much larger community by evolving into a seamless local institution. Even with these sporadic successes a tremendous amount of work still needs to be done on the education front in other locations and communities.
Living in the United States it is difficult to go to a US city, town or village without running into a Muslim doctor. Associations such as AAPNA and others boast thousands of members, all Muslim doctors. Even
