Projects

The Freedom and Justice Foundation (F&J) has initiated three projects. The projects are explained below for your benefit. None of these projects are independent entities, but are all coordinated by F&J to better serve the Texas Muslim community.

F&J Projects:

Texas Islamic Council (T.I.C.): The TIC is a project of the Freedom and Justice Foundation (F&J), meant to bring the Texas Muslim Congregational Voice to the fore front on issues of social public policy.

This state-level representative body allows Muslim congregations in Texas to stand shoulder to shoulder with their brothers and sisters in the Mainline Protestant (Texas Conference of Churches), Catholic (Texas Catholic Conference) and Baptist (Baptist General Convention of Texas) communities. The members of the TIC are Muslim Congregations (Mosques) and full-time Islamic Schools from around the Lone Star State. The current membership of the TIC gives it a representative strength of more than 85,000 Texas Muslims, thereby making it the largest single representative body for Muslims in Texas. The T.I.C. is not an independent organization, but a subsidiary membership body of Mosques to the Freedom and Justice Foundation (F&J). More

Triumph Over Terror (TOT): The Texas Islamic Council (T.I.C.), a statewide coalition of Islamic Centers (Mosques) across the Lone Star State coordinated by the Freedom and Justice Foundation (F&J), voted in June 2006 to build expansive interfaith partnerships that include all of civic and political society in order to clarify the language used in the Global War On Terror (GWOT) to accurately define our enemy. The purpose of the T.I.C. membership making that decision was to bring more support to efforts by F&J and other groups already working to clarify the use of such controversial language. More

Texas Muslims Scholarship Fund (TMSF): This project's purpose is to create an endowment fund that would be able to grant annual scholarships to Muslim students studying in Texas in under-represented public-opinion influencing fields such as Journalism and Law. More
