I had the honor of being a contributor to the book “Celebrating Tolerance,” about religious diversity in the UAE. The book was published in 2019, and marked the beginning of Dubai and the country’s landmark tolerance efforts. A copy of the book was given to Pope Francis during his historic visit to the UAE.

In 2020, I was invited to the European Parliament to present the story of the book to European Parliament members, anti-terrorism task forces, and religious leaders, at a conference entitled “Creating a New Narrative of Tolerance.”
