This is a joint project between the British Council's Our Shared Future program, the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Georgetown University's Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, featuring members of the Our Shared Future Opinion Leaders Network.

The videos on this website reflect the personal views of the participants. This project was made possible in part by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York. The British Council, the Carnegie Corporation and our partners bear no responsibility for the content of the interviews or the views expressed by participants in the 100 Questions About Islam project.
