How to Stop the War on Terror Series
Community Services
There is a dire need for social services in the Muslim
community. The problems relating to marriage and increase in divorce rates
among Muslims is an increasing concern all over the country. Most Mosques are
not equipped to handle the kind of social services the community requires. They
are not trained to handle conflict or to counsel the parties involved. This is
leaving many people frustrated. The lack of services in business and
entrepreneurship also creates fiscal strain.
By training and providing certain key social services
there will be a dramatic change in the Muslim community. It is necessary to
provide the Muslim community with opportunities and access to necessary
support. When a community is actively involved with their own development and
is able to get more integrated into the process of change, they are less likely
to feel desperate or isolated. This positive change will help stem further
negative consequences, which may otherwise fester.
1. Mediation and Conflict Resolution
Providing
mediation for conflicts amongst muslim groups in the Mosque. This will be
service orientated and accessible to the community, especially in the field of
marital issues.
Training
local leaders in the various communities in Mediation and Conflict Resolution.
This will be a series of courses both audio and video to help train local
leaders to be the positive change agents in their respected communities.
Designating a network of conflict resolution specialist in all the major cites
across the country who are available to be involved.
2. Public Speaking
Training both Youth and Adult to become public
speakers. This process will be designed as a Khutbah (sermon) training program.
However it will be implemented in a way that is focused on communications
ability and focus on deliver of information rather than content. The key is to
not force content while still encouraging the topics to be geared towards
implementation of positive change. Thereby avoiding any political conflicts
over difference in creed or beliefs.
3. Marriage and Divorce Counseling
It is necessary to provide premarital advice to young Muslims to help them get on their feet in the best way. By providing a strong community that encourages healthy marriage and family relationships, to better equip couples with the troubles that naturally occur over time in any marriage. Networking the appropriate individuals in the community with access to grants and funding to provide services for the community needs. By addressing the social issues related to the community we can help avoid situations of isolation and desperation that lead to people lashing out.
