Forum on Religion, Migration, and Foreign Policy

April 23, 2007

Experts from government, civil society, and academia met to discuss various issues related to the foreign policy impact of growing religious diversity due to immigration. Topics covered by the panelists in their presentations and then during the question and answer period varied widely. They ranged from the persecution of Hindus by Muslims in Bangladesh and their subsequent pursuit of asylum status in the United States and elsewhere, to the relocation of Soviet Jewry in the United States and Israel, and the status of Muslim minorities in Western Europe.

This event was cosponsored by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, the Luce/SFS Program on Religion and International Relations, and the Institute for the Study of International Migration.
