 On behalf of the Council of Muslim Organizations (CMO) of the greater Washington area I would like to congratulate Washington, DC Mayor Vincent Gray on his appointment of Imam Johari Abdul-Malik to the Mayor's Interfaith Council of Washington DC. It has been estimated that there are almost 55,000 Muslims residing in the District of Columbia and many more that work, pray, and visit the Nation’s Capitol. The Council applauds Mayor Gray's outreach to the Muslim community and we look forward to a productive working relationship with his administration. Imam Johari is the current Treasurer and past President for The Council (CMO). His leadership in the Muslim community has been a great blessing to us all. We look forward to his service on the Mayor's Council and hope to see a greater involvement from the Muslim community in local government. |
Imam Johari Abdul-Malik serves as the Outreach Director for the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, Muslim Chaplain at Howard University Hospital, Associate Imam at the First Hijrah Islamic Center in northwest Washington, DC and is a board member of the Interfaith Conference (IFC) of Metropolitan Washington DC. He is also a founding board member of the Muslim Advocacy Commission of Washington, DC. The Imam has previously served on the Interfaith Councils of Mayor Anthony Williams and Mayor Adrian Fenty.
