The Madin Academy here has brought out an international journal promoting harmony and tolerance among religions and communities across the globe.
Edited by Robert Dickson Crane, American author and former advisor to late U.S. President Richard Nixon, the journal named Armonia marked the 20th anniversary celebrations of the Madin Academy.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister for Tolerance Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan released the journal at a function held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on Sunday.
Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies president Sheikh Abdallah bin Mahfudh ibn Bayyah, Madin Chairman Sayed Ibrahim Khaleel Bukhari, and Armonia editor-in-chief Robert Dickson Crane were present.
Mr. Khaleel Bukhari said that Armonia would serve as a solid platform to promote peace, understanding and harmony between religions and communities across the world. The editorial office of Armonia will be in Virginia, U.S.A.
A 25-member editorial team headed by Dr. Crane will decide the content of the journal which will be published thrice a year. An Armonia symposium held last week at Madin Academy here marked the beginning of the editorial work.
