The mission of Hudson Institute's Center on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World is four-fold:
1.To research and analyze political, religious, social and other developments within Islamic countries and Muslim minority populations around the world.
2.To analyze the ideological dynamic of Islam around the world and to examine how the political and theological debate within Islam impacts both Islamist radicalism as well as the Islamic search for moderate and democratic alternatives.
3.To encourage and support the growth of moderate and democratic alternatives to Islamist radicalism within the Muslim world.
4.To contribute to the development of American policy options and public diplomacy efforts within the Muslim world and to strategies to prosecute and to win the war against radical Islam.

Professor Said approaches this opportunity with the understanding that, "...because Islamic traditions provide a set of powerful political precepts and practices with universal implication, Islam also can make important contributions to a peaceful world order -- one that affirms the unique value of all cultural traditions."

MANA is a national network of masjids, Muslim organizations and individuals committed to work together to address certain urgent needs within the Muslim community. These needs include the great social and economic problems that are challenging Muslim communities especially in the inner city; the need for the involvement of masjids and Muslims in community service projects which are aimed at improving society as a whole; the need for systematic and effective dawah programs to help bring more non-Muslims into Islam; the need for new Muslim programs that will help them to grow in Islam. MANA is therefore an open organization that is agenda driven.

The Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life, launched in 2001, seeks to promote a deeper understanding of issues at the intersection of religion and public affairs.The Pew Forum conducts surveys, demographic analyses and other social science research on important aspects of religion and public life in the U.S. and around the world. It also provides a neutral venue for discussions of timely issues through roundtables and briefings.
The Pew Forum is one of seven projects that make up the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. The Pew Research Center does this by conducting public opinion polling and social science research; by analyzing news coverage; and by holding forums and briefings. It does not take positions on policy issues.

La Société Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences et de la Philosophie Arabes et Islamiques (SIHSPAI) a été fondée en 1989 lors du Colloque international d'Histoire des sciences et de la philosophie arabes tenu à Paris du 22 au 25 novembre de la même année. Les fondateurs de la SISHPAI, en créant cette Société, faisaient un double pari : en regroupant histoire des sciences et histoire de la philosophie arabes, ils espéraient désenclaver ces deux disciplines et les ouvrir aux courants de l'histoire universelle ; en même temps, ils comptaient œuvrer pour le succès d'une histoire des sciences qui ne soit pas étroitement technicienne, et d’une histoire de la philosophie conçue comme une discipline rigoureuse.
