A series of Muslim Outreach Summits are planned coast-to-coast by the Obama administration to get feedback from Muslims on how the government can better serve them and their specific desires.
The president's adopted home town of Chicago will be the first stop.
WND initially discovered documents referring to the Muslim summits while examining a U.S. Department of Education procurement of data-gathering and report-writing services.
The services are specific to information being assembled by the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, or WHIAAPI, which Obama created via executive order in 2009.
Upon closer inspection, however, WND learned that the Education Department explicitly will direct the selected contractor to chronicle findings and recommendations gleaned from the Muslim Outreach Summits.
The White House views this year's venues as an extension of a previous outreach to "new immigrants and refugees – some of the most underserved in the AAPI community," according to a document titled "WHIAAPI 2013 Faith-Based and Community Engagement."
Complementing the prior effort will be the three "regional convenings," tentatively scheduled June 15 in Chicago, June 22 in San Francisco and June 29 in New York City.
