Taxation for Islamization.

The Obama administration is reaching out to Muslims across the world in an attempt to change what a person charged with the effort says is a widely-held negative narrative about Islam and terrorism.

‘We’re going out and hearing from people who are doing innovative and creative things.

We’re lifting up their voices so that they can be role models for others,’ Farah Pandith, the US special representative to Muslim communities, said Friday.

In an online webchat, the Indian American State Department official articulated the government’s attempts at fostering a positive dialogue with the world’s 1.4 billion Muslims.

‘We have to listen. We have to hear what it is they are experiencing. Their expertise is better than somebody in Washington saying what must be,’ Pandith said, adding that she was trying to help build a robust global Muslim community.

Pandith made clear that she tries not to speak of a single monolithic ‘Muslim world’ and noted that she’s travelled to 25 countries in the past nine months talking to Muslims.

She also emphasised that any successful engagement effort will take a long time to see widespread progress(ndlr: you can say that again ! JPPS)
