WASHINGTON DC - Muslims and non-Muslims came together for a special Iftar meal earlier this week, celebrating unity and understanding.
This is the second consecutive year this event has brought people of different faiths together to break their fast during Ramadan.
"Tonight, we are joined by people from many faith communities, all of whom work in the area of preserving [and] defending religious freedom for all vulnerable people in the world," Ibrahim Anli, Executive Director of Rumi Forum, told Rudaw.
The US Ambassador for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback believes that peace cannot be achieved anywhere without religious tolerance. He said peace is not possible unless there is mutual respect and understanding.
"But with that you can really work with, I think, people of faith to build peace, to build societies that are sustainable, and they relate to each other.
American Muslims, who number more than four million, own many mosques and religious centers.
During the holy month of Ramadan, American Muslims continue to champion the values of tolerance, understanding, and peace.
