American Muslims Against Violence and Terrorism (AMATE) Initiative is a joint effort between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Masjid Muhammad “The Nation's Mosque” designed to counter the narratives of violent extremism domestically.

We engage domestic stakeholders in order to raise awareness about the threat of  violent extremism, while tapping into our 80 years of experience of providing alternative narratives and solutions to the problem of violent extremism.

Our goal is to be a comprehensive resource center, so that we create healthy, happy, involved communities that are resilient to all forms of violent extremism. We seek to support efforts, services, and resources of our communities for individuals who may be going down a destructive or harmful path.
