Healing the divide : Peace, trade, and some form of partnership among Americans

Although the Constitution does not require us to love one another, many religions—including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism—as well as humanism —emphasize values of kindness, unity, and respect. (Comparing Moralities in the Abrahamic and Indic Religions Using Cognitive Science: Kindness, Peace, and Love versus Justice, Violence, and Hate, 2021) The principle to “love one another,” taught by Jesus and embraced globally, has influenced America’s moral foundation. (Love One Another, n.d.) While the United States is officially secular, its character reflects these universal values. (Secularism in the United States, 2024) As a Muslim writer, Mohamed Ahmed argues that peace, trade, and partnership are practical expressions of these principles and can help heal divisions and strengthen American democracy.

Last night’s attack on the President proves that violence, even for revolutionaries, cannot change America’s course. Only ideas, as Socrates noted, outlast individuals. As a social activist, I believe no violent act can defeat an idea—only a better idea can. Coining the words “It takes an idea to defeat an Idea” over a decade ago as Average Mohamed in social activism, maintaining them against adversity in America, besides political activism as a proud republican activist. Violence only causes instability, not meaningful change.

Americans can challenge the government through nonviolent means such as voting, peaceful protest, dissent, dissidence and open dialogue, as well as through the courts. These methods ensure all voices are heard safely. History repeatedly shows that assassinations bring chaos, not progress. (Iqbal & Zorn, 2008, pp. 385-400) We must decisively choose nonviolence.
All Americans should reject violence in politics. Our flag stands for freedom and rights for everyone, even those who disagree. True power comes from peaceful, democratic actions.
The first key principle is Peace. More than the absence of fighting, Peace means accepting a system in which leaders are chosen or removed by voting, requiring everyone’s right to vote and acceptance of the results to keep democracy strong. By participating peacefully, we show support for these values and help keep the country united.

Trade is the second important principle. Trade is about exchanging goods and services, your labor, your goods or services, which connects Americans every day. Fair trade makes sure everyone has access to opportunities and resources, helping people come together and build trust. Supporting fair trade, shopping locally, and asking for fair rules help create economic unity. This principle depends on including everyone and ensuring the business benefits the whole country.

The third principle is Partnership. In this context, partnership means finding ways to work with others—even those with different views—to achieve common aims. Overcoming disputes to work collaboratively is essential for real progress. Partnership can be seen when citizens unite after serious divides, for example, after the Civil War, during the civil rights era, or when forming new laws. Partnership is about maintaining unity by searching for agreement rather than asking everyone to think or act the same. We are not communists! We are Americans.

We support peace, capitalistic trade, and partnership as proven ways to heal America’s divisions and strengthen democracy. Staying true to these principles—not resorting to violence—is the only way to secure our country’s future. By choosing voting, dialogue, and collaboration over conflict, we keep democracy alive.
