“All the religions of the Book rest on two principles -
to praise God and have compassion towards His creatures”

*Who is Emir Abdelkader?*
A world famous warrior, scholar, and Muslim of the 19th century. His legacy as a reconciler is a powerful example of leadership exhibiting universal values of moral courage, integrity, intellect, and compassion – transcending culture and faith traditions in pursuit of justice - standing against extremism for all of humanity.

*Why does he matter in today's world?*
During a time of rampant bigotry and hatred, our society has much to gain by adopting the leadership qualities that Emir Abdelkader embodied during his time - love of knowledge, ethical courage, compassion, and strength. External Event Url
