Introduction

Imam Dr. Omar Suleiman is a Muslim scholar, civil rights leader and professor of Islamic Studies at Southern Methodist University. Salimaun: I've become distinctly aware that my approach of talking to people from all walks of life with empathy and compassion, but with backbone, can create enemies on all sides. We did delve briefly into the topic of Israel and Palestine. This topic is an extremely challenging one and an extremely important one. It is not simply a story of history, politics, religion and national identity; it is also a deeply human story.
