Four Muslim-American community leaders (will) who embark June 17 for Europe to meet with
hundreds of European Muslims in Berlin, The Hague, Netherlands, and Copenhagen, Denmark,
as part of the Citizen Dialogue program of the U.S. State Department.
The five-day program is an effort to mobilize and amplify the voices of U.S. Muslims and
Arab Americans, to encourage a cross-cultural dialogue and to advance diplomacy, according
to Heidi Fincken, special adviser to Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Karen Hughes.
The delegates will serve as a bridge between the Muslim world and the United States, Fincken
said. The Citizen Dialogue program sets up forums of exchange so that American Muslims can
meet with European Muslims to present a genuine view of their lives in America."
