Setup
Incidents of hate crimes against religious minority communities have surged alarmingly high in the last couple of years. The FBI reported an almost 20% increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes and the ADL recorded a 57% increase of anti-Semitic incidents last year alone. It is critical to build bridges across line of religious difference. During this session, the panelists will discuss best practices from the findings of our recent report, Pluralism in Peril: Challenges to an American Ideal. Farhan Latif, President of the El-Hibri Foundation, will also join this panel.
