Arab West Report Egyptian press summaries and media research for dialogue

Over 15  years ago, Drs. Cornelis Hulsman established a unique, non-partisan organization seeking for the increase of mutual Muslim-Christian and Arab-West understanding based on providing unbiased and accurate information. As he mentioned in his speech given at the American University in Cairo, the fight against misreporting about Arab-West and Muslim-Christian relations is a lifelong task for which his struggle will continue, whether in Egypt or in from his residence in the Netherlands.

His work, ideas, and contributions to the organization have been greatly appreciated not only by numerous individuals engaged in interfaith and intercultural dialogue, but also by the staff and interns of the Arab West Foundation. Cornelis Hulsman will remain as editor-in-chief of Arab West Report, and although he has ceded the daily managing responsibilities of the Center for Intercultural Dialogue and Translation, his principles and vision shall remain the guiding force behind our organization.
