Symposium on the State of West-Islamic Dialogue
Georgetown University hosted an all-day Symposium on the State of West-Islamic Dialogue on October 16, 2007. The symposium brought together international thought leaders and public figures to address West-Islamic dialogue in its religious, political, and social dimensions. The symposium was convened in the context of the World Economic Forum's planned First Annual Report on the State of West-Islamic Dialogue. The report, a collaborative effort with Georgetown University, was presented at the Forum's annual meeting in Davos in January 2008. The symposium was sponsored jointly by Georgetown's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.
