CWSC…Unleashing and harnessing the full capacity inherent in the group intellect

The ability to leverage intellectual resources and distribute talent across geographical and institutional boundaries,

and across the landscape of challenges and opportunities that face every community and institution—that’s what a

national intelligentsia can do for us and for the world. To unleash and harness the full capacity inherent in the

group intellect, we'll have to make the connections not only inside Scripture, but we'll also need to make the

connections with one another—that’s the path of progress for CWSC! Visit us at cwsc.us.

MISSION STATEMENT

To realize our model community vision by operating as a national intelligentsia, think tank, volunteer

resource and broadcasting network researching, designing, communicating and implementing solutions that

enhance goal achievement in all aspects of our community life.

VISION STATEMENT

To remake our world into a better place by unleashing and harnessing the full capacity inherent in the group

intellect.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The ethical guides for our actions are the Qur’an and the Life Example of Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon

him). Our leadership legacy in Imam W. Deen Mohammed (R) serves as a contemporary example of the

application of Qur’an and the Life Example of Prophet Muhammed (S).

FOCUS

The Community Wide Shuraa Conference™ (CWSC) is established as a community service organization

supporting Qur’anic principle of representative democracy (mutual consultation) in the conduct of affairs and

The Inspirational Leadership of Imam Dr. W. Deen Mohammed (R) Planter of the Seed for Our National Intelligentsia… “Building a better community, better businesses, a better appreciation for our life, building on the greatness of our history…that’s the work that must continue.” —Imam Dr. W. Deen Mohammed (1933-2008)

A world renowned religious scholar and leader for millions of American Muslims, Imam Dr. Wallace Deen Mohammed (R) dedicated his life building bridges of interfaith respect and racial harmony. The son of Nation of Islam leader the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (R), the Imam led the transition of “so-called” Black Muslims and the Nation of Islam to true Islam, dispelling false notions of race and religion to make his community a new world leader for the proper understanding and practice of Al-Islam. Author, scholar, businessman, and advisor to Presidents, the Imam founded The Mosque Cares and Collective Purchasing Conference. He served as an International President for the World Conference on Religion and Peace and on the World Supreme Council of Masajid. He was the first Muslim in U.S. history to deliver an invocation on the floor of the U.S. Senate. He inherited the struggle for dignity and economic justice through the African-American saga and Islamic influence woven into the history of blacks both before and after American slavery.

The Imam proclaimed the message of Al-Islam to save his Community and the world. To do so, he had to stand courageously firm against the dogma of the Nation of Islam. Like King or Mandela, he had been able to see over the mountain top of obstacles and difficulties, as he moved strategically to evolve his Community from charismatic leadership and centralized hierarchy to institutional leadership and respect for the group intellect. He removed the trappings of riches and a so-called royal birthright to stand against even members of his family to safeguard his community’s moral and material interests. His religion was Al-Islam; his faith was in G-d and in the nobility of the common man; upon that foundation he built a new house to replace a fallen temple. The Imam proclaimed One G-d and one humanity, and that the Final Prophet sent by the Lord of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus is Muhammed to whom the Qur’an was revealed over 14 centuries ago (Peace and Blessings be upon them all). Imam Mohammed’s mission and vision, emphasizing religious scholarship, education, economic development, and the promotion of universal human excellence live on and continue to transpose a legacy of leadership onto the world stage.

CWSC & AM360 Founder Imam Thomas Abdul Salaam (R)

“If it is to be…it is up to me” —Imam Thomas Abdul Salaam

Imam Thomas Abdul-Salaam (1953-2015) was a widely respected pioneer broadcaster and community leader affectionately known as the Twin Servant of Peace and Mr. AM360. He responded to the call of Imam Dr. W. Deen Mohammed (1933-2008), who challenged the Muslim community to open up lines of communication within its group intellect. Thomas got busy building an internet radio station in 2010 with the support of his wife, Dr. A’isha Kareem, and with the hope of connecting Muslim voices across the U.S. He undertook a daunting task requiring initial and sustained capital investment and even greater faith. Placing personal finances at risk and working literally from sun up to sun down, Thomas steadily and methodically built a national radio network appealing to an underserved American Muslim community. He would literally create the real-time pathways to not only connect an entire community, but he would indeed give them a national voice and a way to share ideas and engage in productive dialogue as never before. He was named to the list of 50 Inspirational Black Muslim Men.

He was a CWSC co-founder and its first executive director. He was an imam, author, air force veteran, and pioneering national broadcaster and co-founder of American Muslim 360 Radio. Known also by his moniker, the Twin Servant of Peace, Thomas was a true visionary and community builder. He helped create the "intellectual space" for voices in the Muslim community and beyond to share in open and honest dialogue on topics as diverse as religion and faith to politics and social justice. He garnered the attention of Muslims and non-Muslims alike with innovative broadcasting designed to educate, inspire and facilitate the aspiration for building model communities. His efforts led directly to the CWSC’s founding as a manifestation of an intelligentsia first envisioned by Imam Mohammed. Today both AM360 and CWSC are firmly established. A CWSC college scholarship is posthumously established in his honor and each year the CWSC honors him posthumously with an official declaration of August 26 as CWSC Founder’s Day marked with remembrances, interviews, tributes and other appropriate recognition of the sacrifice and commitment Thomas demonstrated until his last days of serving Allah (SWT) and his community. His motto of “If it is to be, it’s up to me” has now brought us to the bigger community vision of “If it is be, it’s up to we.” The Twin Servant was blessed to make connections from the wisdom of Imam Dr. W. Deen Mohammed (R) and he peered into the future to make one of the greatest connections our Community has ever benefited from…he connected us by integrating the vision of a national working intelligentsia with a powerful broadcasting medium…he sought to give all of us a voice to become a sounding and working group intellect within the respectful framework of Shuraa Baynahum.

A’isha Kareem is CEO Emeritus of American Muslim 360® Radio, a retired prison services chaplain (California State Corrections), and a lifelong social justice educator who has focused on equity for racially and socially marginalized students. In 1985, Dr. Kareem founded and directed the Academy for Human Development, a youth empowerment organization, which earned her a visit from three-time World Champion, Muhammad Ali. After some time, Dr. Kareem felt compelled to enter the State Department of Corrections to aid in the rehabilitation of many of her students’ mothers and fathers, who themselves were caught up in the prison pipeline as victims of mass incarceration. Nearly a decade later and during the month of Ramadan 2009, she, along side of her late husband, Thomas Abdul Salaam, affectionately called “The Twin Servant of Peace,” launched a broadcasting network, the American Muslim (AM) 360 Blog Talk Radio. Through the use of internet technology, American Muslim community voices were synergized to

communicate on issues of faith, race, and culture and other broader domestic and international affairs. AM360 became a town hall for interfaith dialogue and collaboration to address Islamophobia and religious violence and extremism. From these crossroads, AM 360 has achieved remarkable popularity to become the #1 Islamic blogtalk station in the nation. In 2013, in response to a groundswell of AM360 grass roots support urging the Muslim community to complement dialogue with action and to help move a critical mass from ideas to reality, Dr. Kareem, helped found the Community Wide Shuraa Conference (CWSC) and so began one of the largest community service projects ever undertaken in the American Muslim community--to build a national intelligentsia upon the principles of Shuraa Baynahum or faith-based mutual and respectful consultation with an engaged national group intellect committed to action. Dr. Kareem has served as adjunct professor at the University of the Pacific introducing the specialized curriculum, "Islam as a Social Remedy." She also commits significant time as CEO for American Muslim 360 and advisor for the Community Wide Shuraa Conference (CWSC). She is also a CWSC representative via the United Nations as a member of the non-governmental organization, The Grail, which focuses on the status of women. Dr. A’isha Kareem became Hajjah in 2003 with her journey to Mecca. Dr. Kareem via the Academy for Human Development addressed the school-to-prison pipeline of boys of color disproportionately affected by incarcerated parents and the 'War on Drugs.' Through her chaplaincy, she aids parents in discovering the critical role of spirituality in rearing and mentoring responsible youth. She was honored for her contributions when the local Muslim community created her namesake with its institutional naming of Masjid Al-Kareemah (Community of the Generous). A published writer and playwright,* Dr. Kareem penned "What's That On Your Head?," a commentary on Muslim women’s dress and work experience, appearing in the book Nine to Five: Muslims in the Western Workplace. She is the recipient of several academic credentials and awards including the Morrie Turner Soul Corner Role Model Award and Valley Woman In History Award.

“Leadership's foremost responsibility is to arrange the environment for individual and organizational excellence…To remove the obstacles that deny the full participation and contribution of all the group’s members." –Mukhtar Muhammad, Genesis of New American Leadership: Building the Community Life

About Mukhtar Muhammad, Executive Director for the CWSC, Inc.

As a former enlisted and commissioned naval officer, Mukhtar Muhammad knows that inspired people are at the heart of every successful organization and believes the urgent task confronting all institutions, is how best to tap into the group intellect and the Creator-given talent in each one of us, and utilize the power of that group intellect for the maximum benefit of not only that institution, but the society...this belief is a central theme in his book, Genesis of New American Leadership and the major focus in his civic life. Mukhtar Muhammad is executive director for Community Wide Shuraa Conference™, Inc.(CWSC); a principal at and vice president for national retailer FAMACO Publishers, LLC and famacopublishers.com; a distinguished lecturer in the CWSC Speakers Bureau; a national talk show host on the American Muslim 360® Radio Network (AM360.org); and author of the critically acclaimed Genesis of New American Leadership: Building the Community Life, the first socio-
