Zaki started travelling on the London Underground every day at the age of 11, and was struck by the diversity of the people on the tube. Years later, following the horrific attacks on 7/7 perpetrated by religious extremists, he resolved to get more involved in inter-faith work. Since that time, this has been a big part of his work and life, regularly talking to school and community groups about the importance of building bridges across the faiths. In this talk, Zaki explains the five reasons for inter-faith activity, and calls on everyone to get involved in inter-faith, not just "Priests, Vicars, Imams, Rabbis and other religious clerics." He explains how this will build a unity which recognises difference rather than ignoring it. Whilst using the UK as the paradigm for his talk, much of what he says is applicable wherever you live.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
