A Welcome Note from Director John L. Esposito
"The Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding is concerned with Islam and the West and Islam in the West. The Center, since its creation in 1993, has built bridges of understanding between the Muslim world and the West, addressing stereotypes of Islam and Muslims and issues and questions such as the clash of civilizations, and the compatibility of Islam and modern life - from democratization and pluralism to the status of women, minorities and human rights - and American foreign policy in the Muslim world."

This bridge is on every postcard of Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina, though it was blown up a decade ago during the Yugoslav war. It has come to symbolize the divide in the city: to the west live Catholic Croats; to the east, Bosnian Muslims.
