Mission Statement



WORDE's mission is to help close the critical gap of communication and understanding between Muslim and non Muslim communities, the gap which leads to conflict, political instability, and social tension.

WORDE bridges that gap by bringing together a wide variety of experts from diverse cultures that develop effective, long-term solutions for resource development, educational reform, and international security.

What we beleive in and stand for


Comprehensive policies require thoughtful collaboration as we struggle with the new ideological dimensions which affect our world.

There is intrinsic value in cultivating human capital for long-term development strategies.

Terrorism is bred by ignorance and is fanned by extremists who package their own political agendas in religious terminology.

Muslim moderates need access to the public square and the legitimacy within the Islamic tradition to defend their views.

The most precious societal capital is its human resources and their quality education is the key to any long-term development strategies.

We envision that investment will bring us closer to the goal of eradicating poverty, oppression, and terrorism in the 21st century.

Ultimately, the long-term success in the battle of ideas will be determined by the will and support of free people everywhere who do not compromise our common values of social justice, freedom and prosperity.
This is the real war, which we cannot afford to lose.
