Muhammed Malik is putting out a call to his generation.
A generation of 20- and 30-something Muslims who connect to their birthplace, the United States, more than the lands of their immigrant parents. A generation that immerses itself in the public debates of American society, with its many races, cultures and political viewpoints.
"Pretty soon young Muslims will be the majority of Muslims in the U.S.," said Malik, 27, who was born and raised in Miami-Dade County. "I want to address this generational transition."
In September, Malik became the director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' South Florida chapter, the Muslim civil rights group that covers Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties, home to about 75,000 Muslims.
Already a veteran of South Florida protests related to Israel, Liberty City and the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Malik said he is anxious to improve the public profile of Muslims and relations between South Florida's faiths.
