The King Hamad Global Center for Peaceful Coexistence

The King Hamad Global Center for Peaceful Coexistence is a reflection of Bahrain’s centuries-old tradition of welcoming people of different religious groups, who have lived side-by-side in harmony in Bahrain and practiced their faiths in peace. Bahrain also actively fosters interfaith dialogue and understanding.

There is perhaps no greater example of this principle than the Kingdom of Bahrain Declaration, a statement of belief put forward by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

“We declare that when extremist clergy preach hatred, violence and seek to sow the seeds of discord, that they are inciting the desecration of the name of God.”

–His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Kingdom of Bahrain Declaration
