After the tragedy of September 11, 2001, he became much more involved in public policy. Today, he uses his access to policy makers, political leaders and statesmen to be the “voice of reason” in an attempt to bridge the ever-increasing gap between the west and east. Raza works with Karen Hughes, Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, and has traveled to countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan to promote American values of democracy, tolerance and pluralism abroad and help combat negative images propagated in many parts of the world.
