Arab and Muslim Speakers Bureau
While learning from Western thinkers about the threat of terrorism and the need to support democracy is critical to fostering understanding about Islamist and other forms of terrorism, exposure to people who have lived with the threat of terrorism every day in countries ruled by dictators, can give students and professors an even deeper understanding of terrorism’s immediate threat. FDD created an Arab and Muslim Speakers Bureau in January 2005 to meet this important need.

The bureau features reformers from Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and other Muslim-majority states. In cooperation with FDD undergraduate and academic fellows, these reformers speak on campuses to share their pro-democracy and anti-terrorism messages with other students and professors.
