Rising in awareness, growing in knowledge, and raising consciousness is for the purpose of knowing reality through being better at describing it and hence being better at creating and controlling it. You gain knowledge for the purpose of gaining the power to get what you want. Until you are able to control something, you do not know it fully. The Global Muslim Peace Movement aims to empower and drive the true message of Islam to the forefront of the world.

Global Muslim Peace Movement Declarations
1) The Global Muslim Peace Movement will be instituted by a council of intellectual scholars and religious scholars that serve to represent the identity of Muslims all around the world - from all nations, cultures, backgrounds. Prime ideas and a primary declaration on all topics of discussions will be discussed in cabinet meetings, with due-process, and released to the public as the opinion of The GMPM.
2) The GMPM will grant the platform for all Muslims who are repressed/oppressed by governments, under-legitimized, ...to share the diverse stories of their experiences in the places they have witnessed, whilst sharing personal stories and insights into what the true message of Islam means to them, pointedly exploring that Islam is not the root cause of the ills of the Muslim World - a perspective championed wholesomely and constructively through critical and intellectual honesty.
3) In the social-political-cultural arena, only constructive and critically-adept ideas and perspectives will be accepted.
4) All future prospective members will be voted in by due process, by the initial council of appointees.
5) We will be wise and courageous, and yet again wise and judicious, in our proclivities and endeavors so as to "cast not pearls before swine".
The Global Muslim Peace Movement is founded upon the idea
We can be our own best friends or we can be our own worst enemies. In the degree that we become friends to the highest and best within us, we become friends to all; and in the degree that we become enemies to the highest and best within us, do we become enemies to all. In the degree that we open ourselves to the higher powers and let them manifest through us, then by the very inspirations we carry with us do we become in a sense the saviours of our fellow-men, and in this way we all are, or may become, the saviours one of another. In this way you may become, indeed, one of the world's redeemers.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one,
an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
Our patience will achieve more than our force.
Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.
He that struggles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.
People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.
You can never plan the future by the past.
Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment;
and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting. -Edmund Burke
