I am thrilled to announce my involvement as a team member in a truly groundbreaking initiative: the GLOBAL MUSLIM-JEWISH YOUTH UNITY PROJECT. This project, which officially launched on October 7, 2025, is not just another non-profit; it is a declaration of courage and a testament to the power of people over politics.
The Impossible Has Begun
As someone who has dedicated years to peace-building and preventing violent extremism in Pakistan, I deeply understand the weight of sectarian division and the urgent need for genuine grassroots movements. That’s why the message from the founder, Mansoor Hussain Laghari, resonated with me so profoundly:
“On October 7, 2025, we are launching something the world says cannot be done. No government. No grants. No powerful backers… No resources—only raw determination.”
This project is a bold commitment to building unity from zero. It’s a people-powered movement where young Muslims and Jews stand together to prove that genuine connection can rise above entrenched hate. We are not waiting for permission or funding; we are using our voices and our hearts to build the future we believe in. This is not charity—this is courage.
My Commitment to Muslim-Jewish Unity
My own journey in interfaith dialogue began several years ago. Back in 2020, I was honored to join the Commonwealth Jewish Council’s online youth group, IRCYA (Inter-religious Commonwealth Youth Alliance), serving as a focal point from Pakistan. We organized multiple online seminars and campaigns, connecting young people across the Commonwealth on critical issues of equality and peace. Though that specific group eventually concluded due to funding issues, the experience solidified my belief in the power of youth-led, interfaith collaboration.
It is that foundational experience that makes joining the Global Muslim-Jewish Youth Uunit Project so meaningful. As I said during the launch event introduction:
“Hi everyone. My name is Ali Raza Khan, basically from Pakistan, working on peace building and preventing violent extremism and equality… I am happy to join this group promoting Muslim-Jewish Unity. Thank for including me 🙏”
I am ready to bring my experience in on-the-ground peace education to this global team, working to transform dialogue into durable unity.
The vision for this project is inclusive and powerful. It is open to all faiths and religions because the mission, rising against hate, concerns all of humanity.
Writers, artists, students, dreamers, and builders, if you’ve ever wanted to do something real and see your willpower translate into global change, this is your moment.
The world will one day ask how peace began. Let the answer be: it began with us, when we had nothing but willpower and refused to quit.
