The 5 Pillars of Our Work
Anti-Muslim Bigotry
The GeoMuslim Institute (GMI) will monitor anti-Muslim bigotry & Islamophobia all over the world. From the rise of white supremacist “great replacement” conspiracy theories against Muslims to publicity stunt Quran burnings to cartoon controversies to unconstitutional Hijab bans around the world, we at GMI will challenge anti-Muslim bigotry and global Islamophobia- across places like the United States and European Union (EU)- by creating original multimedia videos, podcast interviews, and more on topics related to global Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry across the globe.

Genocide Watch
The GeoMuslim Institute (GMI) will also monitor genocide and ethnic cleansing campaigns targeting Muslim populations around the world. From the humanitarian plight of Palestinians in Gaza to the internment of 1 million Uighur Muslims in China, we at GMI want to amplify the plight of persecuted Muslim populations worldwide. Whether it is the ethnic cleansing of 1 million Rohingya Muslims by the right-wing Myanmar military junta government to neighboring India where over 200 million Muslims face uncertain future in Narendra Modi’s right-wing ultra-nationalist version of India, we at the GeoMuslim Institute will track global trends in mass persecution of Muslim populations everywhere.
The 5 Pillars of Our Work
Human Rights
The GeoMuslim Institute (GMI) will also promote free speech, religious freedom, due process and equal protection under the law everywhere. GMI will also focus on Muslim-majority countries where governments, monarchies, and/or militaries abuse their power against their populations. GMI will leverage relationships with our global network of Muslim watchdogs, journalists, and academics and we can amplify their voices to help address human rights challenges in their respective societies.

Rule of Law
The GeoMuslim Institute (GMI) will also promote “rule of law” around the world (including Muslim-majority countries) where leaders, monarchs, and/or military governments might violate their own constitutions and crackdown on their populations in undemocratic ways. Whether it is Imran Khan’s wrongful imprisonment by Pakistan’s military establishment or Egypt’s current military-civilian conundrums under General Sisi, GMI hopes to amplify Muslim voices from across the globe who are promoting “rule of law” and basic constitutionality inside their own respective countries.

Sociopolitical Empowerment
The GeoMuslim Institute (GMI) will also create “Chaplain’s Message” video content where our in-house Muslim chaplain will create evergreen and inspirational video sermons to help empower future generations of young Muslim girls and boys everywhere. Our GMI chief of staff is also the Muslim chaplain at one of the largest Catholic universities in America and we hope to provide social services and evergreen multimedia content for young Muslim girls and boys as a spiritual resource to empower them sociopolitically within their communities today.
