(Office of Her Majesty, Press Department – Tallberg, Sweden) Speaking at the Tallberg Forum in Sweden, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah challenged the Western perceptions of Arab women, Islam and conflicts in the region, and warned "failure to appreciate the other side's point of view is a greater barrier to communication than speaking different languages".   The theme of this year's forum is "How on earth can we live together?
