U.S Islamic World Forum 2013

The State of Qatar annually hosts the U.S.-Islamic World Forum, organized by the Permanent Committee for Organizing Conferences and attended by a distinguished panel of the world's finest scholars, experts and great minds of the political, decision-making, academic, opinion leading, religious, business and media domains, coming together from the United States and four corners of the Islamic world (from Senegal to Indonesia).
