DUBAI (Reuters) - For Ali Al Sayed and Mina Liccione, religious tolerance is more than just an aspiration. It's a way of life.

Unusually for a couple in Dubai, theirs is a mixed-faith marriage, with Mina - born a Catholic - choosing not to follow standard practise by converting to Islam when they tied the knot.
