Bill > SRes33

This resolution supports designating January as "Muslim-American Heritage Month" and celebrates the contributions of Muslim Americans to the United States. The resolution highlights the long history of Muslim Americans in the country, starting with early immigration during colonial times and continuing through successive waves of immigration. It emphasizes the diverse contributions of Muslim Americans across various fields, including architecture, business, medicine, sports, science, and government, noting specific achievements like Fazlur Rahman Khan's structural engineering innovations, Shahid Khan's business success, and political milestones such as Keith Ellison and Rashida Tlaib becoming the first Muslim Americans elected to Congress. The resolution also acknowledges the challenges faced by Muslim Americans, including religious discrimination, while recognizing their military service, with over 4,500 Muslims currently serving on active duty. By honoring the estimated 3.45 million Muslims living in the United States, who come from at least 77 different countries and represent diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, the resolution calls on Americans to observe Muslim-American Heritage Month through ceremonies and activities that recognize and celebrate the community's integral role in shaping the nation's economy, culture, and identity.
