This institute is notorious for inviting well meaning, and not so well meaning (including Progressive type) Muslims to Qatar for an annual conference that is ostensibly to create "dialogue."
But given what Brookings is about, these conferences are more about getting naive and/or opportunistic Muslims on their side - and less about anything else.
