A new @IRFront essay on my book's Malay edition. It explores my concept of "passive secularism." It explains the reaction to my book in Malaysia through its critique of Ghazali & Erdogan: irfront.org/post/book-revi…

My Malaysia ordeal inspired me to write a book on religion, nationalism & populism. My @ConversationUS article explains it by analyzing Turkey, Egypt, Russia, India & USA. All in only 1,300 words thanks to my editor @Mattywills: theconversation.com/my-malaysia-or… Analyzing a global trend:

“The West is Losing Muslim Liberals” My new article in @Foreignpolicy “Indifference to Palestinian suffering in Gaza is alienating even moderates across the Islamic world and tarnishing the appeal of liberal democratic values." Some other points 🧵: foreignpolicy.com/2024/02/20/bid…


“…we also believe that the wordings in the Federal Constitution on the Ninth Schedule List II – State List, viz. “creation and punishment of offences by persons professing the religion of Islam against the precepts of that religion…” should be revised.” freemalaysiatoday.com/category/natio…

My Malaysia visit began w an accusation of being anti-Islam liberal & ended w an attempt to arrest. But I still had 5 wonderful days of intellectual engagement & hospitality. Here is my @IRFront interview published today: irfront.org/post/interview… We discussed Malaysia & beyond.

Interview with Prof. @prof_ahmetkuru "How can they judge a book by using only one sentence referring to anti-intellectualism?...How is it possible that some Muslims read the book and say it is anti-Islam?" irfront.org/post/interview…

Why stifling intellectual discourse is un-‘Madani’: A few days into the new year, an attempt was made to further suppress academic freedom and obstruct intellectual discour... #academicfreedom #books #intellectuals buff.ly/3tNixHK


Meet @prof_ahmetkuru today in Gerak Budaya, PJ at 3.00PM.

Happening tomorrow!

Apakah faktor-faktor kemunduran umat Islam sekian lama? Apakah cendekiawan dan ulama Muslim tidak berperanan dan membisu? Adakah pemimpin Muslim tidak berusaha untuk memajukan masyarakat dan hanya menjaga kekuasaan masing-masing?
