Muslim WakeUp! seeks to bring together Muslims and non-Muslims in America and around the globe in efforts that celebrate cultural and spiritual diversity, tolerance, and understanding. Through online and offline media, events, and community activities, Muslim WakeUp! champions an interpretation of Islam that celebrates the Oneness of God and the Unity of God’s creation through the encouragement of the human creative spirit and the free exchange of ideas, in an atmosphere that is filled with compassion and free of intimidation, authoritarianism, and dogmatism. In all its activities, Muslim WakeUp! attempts to reflect a deep belief in justice and against all forms of oppression, bigotry, sexism, and racism.
Our History
Muslim WakeUp! came together in the late 1980’s in Southern California as a small group of individuals united against all forms of oppression, bigotry, and racism. The collective organized events and demonstrations to protest the Israeli occupation of Palestine, the massacres of the people of Bosnia, and U.S. aggression in Iraq, Libya, and Somalia. The collective also challenged the Muslim establishment leadership in Los Angeles to take principled stances on justice issues domestically and abroad. The collective was instrumental in producing a first-of-its-kind three-day radio broadcast on KPFK-FM celebrating Muslim peoples and cultures.
