If Al-Hewar was just a publication that served culture 
and issues related to the U.S. and Arabs (since May 1989),
that alone would make it worth supporting…

… If Al-Hewar was just place that encouraged
and facilitated dialogue (since December 1994), 
that alone would make it worth supporting…

…. If Al-Hewar was just a Website reaching tens of thousands of people
all over the world (since November 1996),
that alone would make it worth supporting.

In fact, Al-Hewar is ALL of these things... and more…
Doesn’t it deserve your support?

ABOUT AL-HEWAR

Al-Hewar Center is a discussion forum in metropolitan Washington that was established by Al-Hewar Magazine in December 1994 in order to "bring to life" the dialogue promoted by the magazine. The Center provides a place, and guidelines, for an open and respectful face-to-face exchange of opinions from all backgrounds and beliefs.  

In the years since the magazine was established and Al-Hewar Center was founded, there has been a marked improvement in the Arab community’s ability to talk together – to "dialogue" with each other (which is what "Al-Hewar" means) and, ultimately, to work together.  By focusing on its shared goals, the community has made great strides and is beginning to experience real progress in making its issues and concerns understood by the larger American society.  There has also been greater dialogue and mutual understanding between the Arab community and the larger American society.

Since it opened through the end of 2006, the Center has already hosted over 655 meetings and special events. All who are interested are welcome to join and participate in the Center’s lively and informative discussions. Members also receive a complimentary subscription to Al-Hewar Magazine. Those who do not live in Washington can participate by subscribing to the magazine, which features transcripts of many of the Center’s presentations.

The experience of Al-Hewar Center is, above all, an experiment on a small scale of what needs to be done on a large scale: to work for understanding and cooperation; to respect the right of others to think and believe as they wish; and to look for the commonalities among people of differing opinions. 

We also encourage those who are not involved to become members of Al-Hewar Center or to subscribe to the magazine.  Additionally, we hope that the people who recognize the value of the experience of Al-Hewar Center will help the Center and magazine by contributing as much as they can.  To help, you can become a member or subscriber and/or send a donation to: Al-Hewar Center, P.O.
