IMAM FEISAL CALLS FOR INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE


In a meeting at CFR, Feisal Abdul Rauf addressed the debate surrounding the community center in downtown Manhattan, emphasizing the need for interreligious dialogue and cooperation in a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to combat extremist views.

==> Read this CFR Expert Roundup, in which five experts address the controversy over the proposed Islamic community center near the World Trade Center site, the foreign policy implications, and how the issue should be resolved.

NIGERIA ON THE BRINK


CFR's John Campbell says the 2011 elections in Nigeria pose a threat to the stability of the United States' most important partner in West Africa. The end of a power-sharing arrangement between the Muslim North and the Christian South, as now seems likely, could lead to postelection sectarian violence, paralysis of the executive branch, and even a coup.

RWANDA'S KAGAME DILEMMA


Elections

In light of the recent violence surrounding Paul Kagame's reelection in Rwanda, it's important for the United States and international community to continue to support democracy in Rwanda without strengthening its president, says CFR's Charles Landow in this International Herald Tribune op-ed.
