Nielsen, Director, Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, as well as a rich array of other topics addressing the 1981 Declaration and law and religion issues in Pakistan, Mexico, Argentina, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Turkey, Hungary, and Ukraine.
