The opening as it read in 2005

Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) is an American Muslim public service & policy organization headquartered in Los Angeles and with offices in Washington D.C.1 MPAC was founded in 1988. The mission of MPAC "encompasses promoting an American Muslim identity, fostering an effective grassroots organization, and training a future generation of men and women to share our vision. MPAC also works to promote an accurate portrayal of Islam and Muslims in mass media and popular culture, educating the American public (both Muslim and non-Muslim) about Islam, building alliances with diverse communities and cultivating relationships with opinion- and decision-makers." [1] MPAC is the one of the senior American Muslim advocacy organizations in the United States. The organization is committed to progressive views and thoughts in Islam and is widely-known to be a strong voice for the mainstream American Muslim community. MPAC has participated in a number of coalitions and networks that promote the interests of all Americans, and recently has worked much with Japanese-American organizations.2
