As this year’s guest of honor and keynote speaker:
Watch highlights of H.E. Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the MWL and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, at the G20 Interfaith Forum. The forum was hosted by the U.S. state of Utah in conjunction with the G20 Summit in the United States.
During the forum, he highlighted the importance of religious leaders’ contributions to promoting global peace and social cohesion, warning of the dangers of polarization in all its forms and manifestations.
He also explained that the MWL had worked to help bridge the divides between nations and peoples. He underscored the importance of understanding and respecting religious particularities and refraining from offending them, including by avoiding attempts to interfere in religious affairs beyond the bounds of positive dialogue, in either tone or substance.
