Young Leaders Summits - Muslim Public Affairs Council

By uzzie on from www.mpac.org

The Muslim Public Affairs Council proudly announced its Young Leaders Summits will expand four-fold this year, offering Muslim American college and graduate students around the country with a unique and transformative opportunity to make their mark in Silicon Valley, igovernmentn , the entertainment industry and the news media.

In the words of 2010 Summit alum Jalal Ansari, currently a college freshman in New York City:

"This experience cannot be described in words. It has to be experienced, and I believe every Muslim youth who can, should. Although it is difficult for one person to change a system, collectively I learned this week that there is nothing we can't do."

By offering three unique Young Leaders Summits, MPAC seeks to expand the pool of emerging talent and new voices that can enrich the fields of policymaking, news media and the arts while also providing leadership development and creating a network of emerging leaders.

Are antiques sold? Is the food Halal? — approaches that of a Lonely Planet guide to Islamic New York.

With the exception of widespread public outrage when the Associated Press exposed the program in a Pulitzer-winning investigation last year, the "human mapping program" of the NYPD Demographics Unit produced nothing: not one uncovered terrorism plot, not even a criminal lead.

In 2005, someone had left messages including “racial slurs” on the center’s answering machine, the agents wrote. In 2006, a single shot had damaged a window; a few months later, the same window was destroyed with a brick.
