This, with the ultimate purpose of the enhancement of wider public awareness of the theses of past, contemporary and future Religious Reforming thinkers and scholars in the service of the promotion of social harmony and the stemming out of potential extremism.  

RRMASRI Research & Consulting will endeavor to promote mutual understandings among the cultures and institutions of these two important human blocks based on the commitment to the indisputable principles of Universal Values of representative Democracy, Liberty, Justice and the unflinching respect of human rights.

MISSION

RRMASRI Research & Consulting will be solely dedicated to several cardinal issues relating primarily to advancing the causes of Religious Reform as equally conducive to meaningful sustainable socio-economic development and the advancement of Peace and stability in the Middle East as equally conducive to world peace. 

RRMASRI Research & Consulting intends to concentrate and specialize in institution and capacity building to foster existing and future Religious Reform initiatives and endeavors that would jump start and speed up Religious Reform and Enlightenment in the Middle East.  

RRMASRI Research & Consulting entails the creation of a permanent supportive organizational framework that will enhance synergy and facilitate networking;provide organizational and logistical support that will strengthen the effectiveness of the endeavors of proponents of the Religious Reform movement in the Arab world.  A special emphasis will be assigned to target Muslim Expatriates and Muslimminorities in Europe and North America through enhanced public awareness that would potentially facilitate the process of assimilation and integration into the host Western Communities. 

However, most importantly, the purpose of RRMASRI Research & Consulting’s mission would, by priority, concentrate onrendering more readily accessible and enhancing awareness by the general Arab public of thealready existing huge body of well-researched contributions by a wide network of Arab Scholars and thinkers of Religious Reform, past, presentand future contributions that thus far failed to reach and influence the shared outlook of the wider Arab general audience.  

RRMASRI Research & Consulting hopes to equally engage in the promotion of peace and harmonious coexistence in the Middle East that is based on the principles of justice, freedom and the respect of human rights. This entails complementing the endeavorsof committed enlightened intellectuals and political activists engaged in the launching of a departing new paradigm of a Third Way. 

A Third Way Movement aims at breaking away from the lingering stalemate precluding the prospects of a lasting Peace that can only be founded on the fostering of a Civil Society based on consensual non-sectarian secularism, respect of Human Rights and a just society. 

The enhancement of a Third Way movement spurred by enlightened Palestinian and non-Zionist Jewish intellectuals and political activists would, inevitably, act as a conduit to enhance world awareness and garner improved understanding of the plight and legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people that would benefit and serve the general interests of all concerned and world peace.
