Dr. Madeleine K. Albright (her bio) Portrait by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders
	“When fear takes over, communication stops and suspicion builds. That’s why Inside Islam is such an important film, and why the extensive surveys conducted by the Gallup organization are so worthwhile.”

Inside Islam: What a Billion Muslims Really Think premiered in Washington, DC on June 3rd and brought together 650 people from policy circles, government, think tanks, interfaith groups, and numerous other civic leaders. Over 70 groups who attended the premiere as diverse as the State Department, the Army, numerous university professors and local churches have contacted UPF and requested private screenings with guided dialogue/discussion. The goal of this film and related events is to reveal data showing that politics, more than fundamental religious differences, are causing tensions that have led to the dangerous world we all inhabit. The film challenges the ‘hate us for our freedom’ notion and provides much needed substantiation for a new, constructive approach that President Obama is proposing with regard to Muslim engagement.
