Al-Ahram Weekly Fadel Soliman: Faces of Islam

In the wake of 9/11, a successful computer engineer and marketing expert decides to dedicate every last iota of his time and skill to presenting a positive image of his creed. An Islamic daawa activist and imam of the American University in Washington DC with a proficiency certificate in Qur'anic recitation to his name, Fadel Soliman had already been appointed National Chaplain of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth in North and Central Americas (WAMY) when, feeling that the Western media was doing irreparable damage to relations between Muslims and non-Muslims in the wake of the crisis, he founded the Bridges Foundation -- a dedicated body that specialises in presenting Islam to non-Muslims and trains Muslims to bridge cultural gap. Soliman is quick to point out that his job is not to convert people to Islam but rather to turn those who antagonise it into friends, or at the very least neutral parties -- through stressing "the true face of Islam" not only to them but to young Muslims who might not be fully cognizant of what being Muslim means.
