 CUI FOCUS
The Center for Understanding Islam seeks to present an enlightened understanding of Islam in America. Our focus is education and we emphasize the common humanity of people of all faiths, rather than taking sides on political issues. We urge everyone to distinguish between the true teachings of Islam as a faith and the diverse cultural traditions of Muslim societies. Actions of a tiny minority of extremist Muslims cannot be used to define the faith tradition itself. Moderate Muslims have an obligation to take back their faith from those who have hijacked it for their political purposes
