Renaissance Series - Introduction pt 2 Communicating New Ideas on Change

Is the environment conducive for change?

If we want to change the world around us we must be able to understand the way societies adjust and respond to the conditions around them. In the United States there has been dramatic change in the way we discuss and look at the changing social conditions around the world. No longer are we able to ignore the trial tribulations and turmoil going on in other countries.

Is the society open for change. Are we on the verge of catastrophe or on the brink of a new generation of education and enlightenment?

New Ideas and the concept of being able to transmit information over large distances and many people instantly. The technology has helped bring about the ability to communicate on a large scale.

Renaissance Series - Introduction to the Clash of Civilizations pt 1

Is there a Clash of Civilizations between the East and West?

Some say that the religion of Islam is in direct opposition to modernity or civilized society. This is obviously a gross misunderstanding of the situation.

Is it possible to raise a new generation of Muslim leaders that are able to express themselves and represent their community in the United States. Not only is it possible but it is imperative. We are in dire need for a new group of individuals to rise up from the masses. A group that is determined to reconcile and mediate conflicts here in the west and all over the globe. I am not referring to a specific group or organization but a general collective attitude that leads to positive changes.

Can we create a new generation of leaders who are well educated, well read, and cultured. A Renaissance Generation to open new doors of opportunity.

The Renaissance Series - Introduction part 1

According to many in the faith based community we are facing the End of Days.

However the role of the faithful is always to encourage the positive activity of their congregates.

This Video blog Series will go through the thought and pondering of a new Renaissance.

This is part of the How to Stop the War on Terror Series

Implementation Areas

 

Viral Internet Content

Currently there are not many organizations or individuals creating alternative content online for the Muslim community. There is a need to produce content. From infotainment mainstream programming to political commentary and comedy, we need to broaden the horizons of Muslim awareness. Recently CBC in Canada has just produced and run a show about Muslim issues. The show, Little Mosque on the Prairie, by Zarka Nawaz has gotten a lot of viewers and has been picked up for another season.

Current Projects

1. Zaynab TV

Zaynab TV is an online viral programming show that will be created to deal with real life issues being faced by mainstream Muslims in America. This will be the initial project and will generate a lot of viral support. The viral internet content will generate networks of fans and viewers in the United States and around the world. This can then become a catalyst for other content to be created.

Currently the project is in need of funding. The producers and writers are already on board and the first four episodes are written. Sample trailers have been made and can be viewed on line. The model for this project is similar to that of PromQueen TV.

Zaynab TV Series Trailer

2. HotConflict.com

This an online audio and video blog dealing with the News, Pop-culture and Politics from a Muslim point of view. The key to this content is to be like a shock jock alternative commentator of current events.

www.HotConflict.com

Other audio and video content would need to be further developed. Another example of content currently being created out of Australia is Salam Café. A panel talk show format similar to many here in the west like The View, where Muslims talk about various issues, is something yet to be developed in the United States.

Friday Khutbah Sermons, Public Speakers to Stop the War on Terror. Part 3.

How to Stop the War on Terror Series

Friday Sermon Tour

The key to change in any Muslim community is a better message from the pulpit on Friday. The position of the sermon in Islam is highly respected. The stature of the person who is able to command the pulpit is paramount. Generally speaking those that promote an integration model are considered by most, to be non-practicing or not authorities in religious matters and unworthy of the pulpit. Creating a new generation of Speakers that are qualified religiously to give a sermon and can be taken as authority from the community are the keys to changing the message the community hears.

1. Friday Sermons

Start conducting sermons and promoting positive social change from the pulpit. The Khutbah Tour will be conducted by trained speakers who can deliver a positive message and promote Islamic values. These sermons will be geared towards getting community involvement in all aspects of integration into society. This message has to be Islamically based and focus on active participation, delivered with subtlety of a master!

1. National Tour

The Tour will be combined with other promotional events in major cities across the United States. This will cross promote the concepts in person with the viral internet content. Fans of the various websites will be able to meet those involved with the Zaynab TV show and producers of HotConflict.com.

Initial plan is for 12-15 cities to be included in the Tour in the first year.

3. Lecture Series

Friday nights in the Masjid are usually a gathering night for the community. Families come to listen to guest lecturers and possibly share meals with family and friends. This will be incorporated as a part of the tour and the Guest speaker will conduct a lecture on positive social change and identify leaders and begin the process of creating a network of positive change agents in each individual community.

4. Audio and Video content

The Sermon and Lectures will be recorded and available to be streamed on iPods for users as well as being available to listen and watch anytime online. There will also be interviews and commentary by community members all over the country to be added to online content as testimonials.

How to Stop the War on Terror Series

Public Relations and the Media

 

The key to changing the communications environment is not merely to identify the right individuals, but to help brand and promote them in their respected fields. It is important for the Muslim community to develop role models. These have to be individuals that are experienced in their area and actively participating in social change. Many times, there are great individuals with personality and talent available, but they lack infrastructure, organization, and funding, to market themselves correctly.

 

With correct branding and internet marketing, we can help promote these individuals and allow them the opportunity to become well know subject matter experts in their respected fields.

 

1. Making sure that the individuals are encouraged to Publish, will mean a combination of efforts.

-Publishing a blog or articles online in their area of focus.

-Access to ghost writers and publicity professionals and agents for Books.

-Submitting articles to trade journals and magazines.

-Create the genre of religious fiction and comics or Manga content.

 

2. Marketing experts to appear on Radio spots across the country. Talk radio is still a mainstay for the general public. There is a need for Muslim expert opinions who can communicate clearly over the air.

 

3. Preparing individuals to appear on TV. From large mainstream TV shows in syndication to little local community based talk shows. Scheduling and preparing individuals to present Islam and discuss the issues, while making them presentable for the audience.

 

4. Generating an online community by conducting Tele Seminars. With the advancement of technology, you can hold group discussing and seminars live online with teleconferencing and web seminars. This system has become very popular in recent years with networking organizations and network marketing. People will be able to ask questions and the barrier to entry is extremely easy. By holding these sessions online and on the phone, there is ease for the audience to listen and get involved from the comfort of their homes.

 

5. Individuals will be marketed as Subject Matter Experts for conferences, organizations, and other affiliated NGO’s. These will be people who can give academic lectures and appear as expert witnesses for the legal system and the courts. They will also form relationships with the local government and activist groups to help get the Muslim community involved in the public discourse.

Community Service for Muslims to Change the Ideology of the Next Generation with Islam. Part 5.

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.

Using Technology Internet Social Networks Trends To Understand People, the World

This is a series of issues or entries related to various new technologies. The internet and social network are changing the way we see the world. As a Muslim, I am always trying to better understand the world I live in - by talking to people and being genuinely interested in what they are thinking. If you want to build bridges and have less conflict in the world, you need to understand what the other person is thinking and feeling. We see this in the fields of conflict resolution and mediation. It is also the same in foreign policy and war. We need to understand how people think and what they feel.

What are the trends in technology, communication, and the way we see our world? If we can all look at things from different perspectives, maybe we can learn and come to a better understanding of who we all are.

Alternative Careers, Jobs for Muslims To Stop Terror and Win the War of Ideology in Islam

This is a series of entries on various fields- from the very common, to the most strange. I will be discussing different areas that the Muslim community will need to have experts. There are new areas of communication for prominent Muslims to represent Islam in a better light.

These concepts arise out of the idea that it is necessary for Muslims in the United States of America, Canada, Europe and other Western nations to represent Islam in their respected fields and geographic places. By highlighting visionary futuristic thinkers, philosophers, trend setters in all areas, we may be able to change the way Islam is portrayed.

Some people believe that war and conflict are inevitable and cannot be avoided. I believe that it is always the duty of those who are God-fearing to do whatever they can to bring about Peace.

There are always alternatives. This series will explore alternative careers, promoting those going out of their way to make the world a better place for Muslims and Islam.

How do We The People Win the War of Ideology and Stop Terror in Islam?

The theory of the War in Iraq has been that we are fighting a battle for the whole region. It is a struggle for the new age, a way to bring about Freedom and Human Rights. We are told in the United States that the Muslim people are lost in a barbaric religion. Supposedly, the Islamic countries need to be enlightened by the West. Obviously, the story cannot be truly so one-sided.

Where does that leave the Muslims living in America? We are finding ourselves slowly marginalized and pushed out of the process. It is necessary for the Muslims living in the Western countries to make better efforts to reach out and explain Islam in a better and truer light.

Just as this American government’s current administration suggests that it is a battle to win the hearts and minds, the duty of Muslims is the same- to spread the beauty of Islam by changing the hearts and minds of those you come in contact with.

For some, it is difficult to see Islam spread or influence in a way that they are not used to. There is a need for the next generation of leaders to step forward in the West. Here in the United States, it will be imperative for Muslims to make greater strides to promote Islam, using all kinds of new technologies and fields of study to generate greater change y being activists in all different areas.

I will be starting two new series of entries. This website Hotconflict.com was initially an experiment to see if Muslims were to speak out and be vocal, would there be a positive response? To be Muslim American and use your constitutional rights- Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Press. Freedom of Religion. Just like everything in the on-line community, you need to understand marketing and trends and how people think. However, by understanding the way we think, we can learn to come to better levels of communication and possibly even compassion.

If you are a Muslim in the United States, you have a duty to extend the message of peace to your friends and neighbors. It is your responsibility to spread the message of Islam in the best way- for you to be the most helpful to mankind and harm no one. It is by the Light of Islam that people are guided!

Stephon Marbury and the New Starbury Shoe Line

Athletic Shoes & Starbury

Available exclusively at Steve and Barry's University Sportswear.

Basketball shoes endorsed by NBA players can fetch astronomical prices. Air Jordans can retail for more than $200, and Kobe Bryant and LeBron James signature shoes can easily go for more than $100 on various web sites.

So how will a $14.98 basketball shoe from NBA All Star Stephon Marbury stack up against the competition? It's hard to tell, but the vision behind the shoes is a great one, and if early sales are any indication, it's a concept that many are finding embraceable.
