Should the U.S. go to war with Iran?

On June 28, 2019 By MPAC

The Trump administration’s desire to go to war with Iran circumvents constitutional authority, and threatens the United States’ aspiration as a harbinger of global peace and security. As Americans, we should be outraged by the actions of the Trump Administration. Hear from MPAC co-founder and President, Salam Al-Marayati, on why a war with Iran will not make our world safer. It will produce the opposite, perhaps even trigger a third world war. Take action - tell your member of Congress that a decision to go to war should come from Congress, and not rest solely on the President: mpac.org/noiranwar #NoWarWithIran

It is a historic moment and we're part of a historic conversation. On May 15th, 2019, our Board member, Omar Ricci, testified to the House Oversight Committee on the impact of white supremacy on Muslim communities. Our commitment to bettering the society that we live in is both a mandate of our faith, as well as our duty as American citizens. More can be done, and we're working to make it happen. Everyone in society has a role to play in countering white supremacy and the dangers it poses to our security.
