Overview |
Welcome and Ahlan wa Sahlan!
One of the greatest challenges in global politics today is the
dangerous tension that has built up between the United States and
the world's Muslim states and communities. This deepening divide is
a critical impediment to cooperation on a breadth of vital issues,
ranging from dealing with terrorism and radicalism to supporting
human development and freedom.
The U.S.-Islamic World Forum is a global leaders’ conference
hosted by the Brookings Project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic
World, housed within the Saban Center for Middle East Policy. This
annual dialogue, made possible by the vision and support of Sheikh
Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani and the Government of the State of Qatar,
has become the premiere convening body for American and Muslim world
leaders in the fields of politics, business, media, academia,
science, arts, and civil society.
The 2007 Forum, scheduled for February 17-19 at the Ritz Carlton
Hotel in Doha, Qatar, is shaping up to be quite an impressive event.
Policymakers and opinion-shapers from the U.S. and more than 30
Muslim states and communities from around the world will engage in
three days of meetings. We invite you to tour the website and learn
more about the effort. We would also like to express our deep
appreciation to the Government of the State of Qatar and the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs-Conferences Committee, The Doris Duke
Charitable Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Education for
Employment Foundation, Haim Saban, and the Brookings Institution,
for their support of the work of the Project and the Forum.
Kindest regards,
