Is there a USA Islamic Economic Agenda?

Surely, there is much to be said about leadership of Al-Islam in the US. Leaders seem to be extremely proficient in extracting contributions from the body of American muslims for noble charitable causes. This is ultimately the best case scenario in terms of deeds with Allah (swt).
However, as a led community, leadership has been terribly deficient, in terms of, extracting our resources for investments in tangible economic endeavors that would prove beneficial to the infrastructure of the USA Muslim community.
Does that seem to suggest that they are not concerned about the economic health of the USA muslim community, but, are only concerned about what monies can be got to support various international causes? Perhaps. Support for international causes by USA muslims is, in fact, a good thing. But, it should be reciprocated. International muslims should be concerned about our continued development and well-being as an economy.
There really has not been put forth any agenda for the economy of USA muslims for decades. Only recently has there been some focus on our economy, however, with signs of individualism that plagues most American mentalities. Sure, one must be sure to maintain and fulfill one's obligations and make sure that one's personal business is set in order before they can be of effective help to others...not taking away from people being concerned about what is in the best interests of their own companies and enterprises, however, that selflessness shown by us should be met with the same degree of selflessness in our times of need. Otherwise, it takes on the appearance that we are being used. I am not someone complaining about the distribution of alms, I am someone questioning the effectiveness of planners in our communities. I am not someone saying that I am the best planner or that I should be in charge of all planning. I am saying that a closer look should be made at our directions, goals and the intended outcomes for our communities. Sure, Nabi Muhammad (infinite saws) was not a manager of our affairs, but, having a 501c3 and being of non-profit status does not exempt you from planning for our economic future and/or potential reliefs. Economic plans for the American muslims can be done in isolation to charity...so this is not about distribution of alms. There have been a myriad of projects and relief efforts that seem to be insatiable. Many immigrants come here to the US and do better than some natural born American muslims and it makes me wonder why the complaining. I will add to this, as I am currently pressed for time to get my readings in for Ramadan. Just something that has been a question in my mind the last 15 years.



This was an old enclosed masjid community design that I turned into an exaggerated, overdeveloped crystal city art graphic (crystal only cause they look like the crystals of gem formations).
