Congratulations to Mohammed AL-Samawi, AMEL's Global Ambassador for Interfaith, Youth & Leadership, on his forthcoming book The Fox Hunt: A Refugee's Memoir of Coming to America, which will be published by HarperCollins on April 10th.
Born and raised as a practicing Muslim in Sana'a, Yemen, Mohammed's memoir recounts his personal transformation from a traditionalist to an interfaith activist and how he escaped the brutal civil war in Yemen with the help of a small group of Facebook friends, including several members of the AMEL team.
Reflecting about why he wrote the book, Mohammed notes: "I only hope this book inspires us to overcome our prejudices, see the humanity in each other, and deploy our capabilities to help others in need. Together, we will build the world in which we want to live."
