Over the last 18 years, Al-Hewar Center and Al-Hewar magazine in Washington, DC, have provided a forum for Arabs and Arab Americans to share their diverse opinions. The United States offers the freedom to come together to find common ground. It also provides the opportunity for Arabs to show the best of Arab cultures and Islamic civilization to the larger American society. However, none of this can be achieved without a better understanding by the Arabs of their own culture nor without the unity of purpose the derives from discussing and sharing opinions. It is with these goals in mind that Al-Hewar Center established its unique and effective style of open and respectful dialogue.
As Al-Hewar Center helps Arabs achieve these goals, understanding of their culture and issues will grow within the American society. At the same time, this style of open intra-Arab dialogue is also laying the foundation for an Arab Renaissance.
Being involved in Al-Hewar (al-hewar means "dialogue" in English) means supporting service to an exchange among cultures and the positive role that Al-Hewar has played in establishing a successful dialogue among people of all backgrounds.
The experience of Al-Hewar 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 commonalties among people of differing opinions.
Supporting Al-Hewar Center means supporting greater unity, understanding, and respect among the Arab community.
Because we care so much about the issues affecting the community, our motto has always been “We subscribe to your issues…” There has never been a more important time for you to subscribe to ours.
