Evaluating Muslim American Lobbies

Author: Moniza Khokhar

"One particular group that has been trying to find their voice in Washington's lobbying circles is the relatively young, Muslim American community. This paper will: Establish lobbying regulations, examine the concerns of the Muslim American community, define a Muslim lobby group, identify three groups that meet the established criteria, and gauge the efficiency of the Muslim lobbyists. All in effort to show that if the three Muslim American lobby group's pool their resources together, they can achieve a higher level of inlfuence over legislation, rather than working independently."
