This is a guest post by Tariq Najee-ullah, assistant imam at the Muslim Community Cultural Center of Baltimore, a patent agent, founder of the interfaith education organization DC Musliman, and 2018 Imagining Justice in Baltimore Fellow. Learn more about the Imagining Justice in Baltimore series.
The city of Baltimore is part of a national conversation around questions of justice, race and community. In the initiative Imagining Justice in Baltimore the ICJS will contribute the perspectives of local Jews, Christians and Muslims to the public conversation about justice, and injustice, in Baltimore. Each contributor represents her or his own opinion. We welcome this diversity of perspective and are not seeking a single definition of justice between traditions, nor denying the multivocal nature of justice within traditions.
