Writ large, the focus of the several organizations is Muslim life in America, ranging from those with a more theological and philosophical focus, interfaith issues, and community-building, to those more outright concerned with political advocacy, the national relationship between Pakistan and the United States, and the handling of international human rights issues affecting Muslims in communities around the world.
