Iman Chairman's 2013 Christmas Message

My every best wish goes to all those celebrating Christmas this year, it is a time of celebration, festivity and reflection.

However, we must not forget those who face persecution or live in poverty. It is crucial now more than ever before that people from all faiths come together to bring about greater understanding and mutual acceptance particularly in parts of the world where there is tension or conflict.

We must all play a part in counteracting this intolerance.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Ribal Al-Assad

Chairman
