"Mr. President, my name is Ani Zonneveld, founder of Muslims for Progressive Values, we advocate for progressive interpretations of Islam and we are now in four continents."

From Ani:

"I was privileged to have been invited recently to the White House's annual iftar, seated between National Security Advisor Ms. Susan Rice and the Deputy Assistant to the President. In addition, I was also invited to a private policy briefing with the Obama Administration's top advisers on domestic and international policies. This briefing was not a one-way conversation but one where ideas and inquiries from members of the Muslim community were also fielded."
