Antigua Forum
During the Antigua Forum’s 13th edition, Javier Parellada interviews Faisal Saeed Al Mutar, the founder of Ideas Beyond Borders. Faisal provides insights into his upbringing in Iraq, underlining the challenges he faced during Saddam Hussein’s regime and the subsequent chaos brought about by the Iraq war. Despite the turmoil, Faisal’s journey led him to the United States, where he was driven by a sense of responsibility to help his community back home. This sense of duty sparked the idea for Ideas Beyond Borders, an organization dedicated to bridging the accessibility gap of classical liberal values in the Middle East.
“I’ve become more and more interested in the application of the classical liberal values, other than just making them accessible, but rather having people see what they actually mean.”
