Salam Nabil,
1.
well, I thought wikipedia is more reliable to find out about the qualifications of a
North American academic (we are not dealing with a substantive issue here) than ablog post written by someone who seems to hate the author of award-winning and
best-selling works No God but God and Zealot among others. I don't think he was
lying when he said he was trained in history of religions.
If I say a few years from now that I trained in the study of Qur'an, and someone
objects that I went to the Dept of Usul al-Din and Comparative Religion for my MA
(even if my thesis was an exercise in thematic interpretation of Qur'an), and I worked
with a professor in the Dept of History (even if on the history of Qur'an) for my PhD
and therefore I am not qualified to talk about Qur'an, would that make sense?
I am actually amazed that Iranians and Muslims have taken it upon themselves todiscredit Aslan. His own website talks about his education and appointments, if you
can trust him:

Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
From the internationally bestselling author ofNo god but Godcomes a fascinating, provocative, and
meticulously researched biography that calls into question everything we thought we knew about
Jesus of Nazareth.
Two thousand years ago, an itinerant Jewish preacher and miracle worker walked across the Galilee,
gathering followers to establish what he called the Kingdom of God. The revolutionary
movement he launched was so threatening to the established order that he was captured, tortured,and executed as a state criminal.
Two decades after his shameful death, his followers would call him God.
Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of historys most
influential and enigmatic characters by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in
which he lived: first century Palestine, an age awash in apocalyptic fervor. Scores of Jewish
prophets, preachers, and would-be messiahs traipse through the Holy Land, bearing messages from
God. This is the age of zealotrya fervent nationalism that made resistance to the Roman
occupation a sacred duty incumbent on all Jews. And few figures better exemplified this principle
than the charismatic Galilean who defied both the imperial authorities and their allies in the Jewish
religious hierarchy.
Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historical sources, Aslan explores this diverse and
turbulent age and, in doing so, challenges the conventional portraits of Jesus of Nazareth. Aslan

describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife with contradiction: a man of peace who
exhorted his followers to arm themselves with swords; an exorcist and faith healer who urged his
disciples to keep his identity a secret; and ultimately, the seditious King of the Jews whose
promise of liberation from Rome went unfulfilled in his brief lifetime. Aslan explores the reasons
why the early Christian church preferred to promulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual
teacher rather than a politically conscious revolutionary. And he grapples with the riddle of how
Jesus understood himself, the mystery that is at the heart of all subsequent claims about hisdivinity.
Zealotquestions what we thought we knew about Jesus of Nazaretheven as it affirms the radical
and transformative nature of his life and mission. The result is a thought-provoking, elegantly
written biography with the pulse of a fast-paced novel: a singularly brilliant portrait of a man, a
time, and the birth of a religion.
No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam
InNo god but God, internationally acclaimed scholar Reza Aslan explains Islamthe origins and
evolution of the faithin all its beauty and complexity. This updated edition addresses the events of
the past decade, analyzing how they have influenced Islams position in modern culture. Aslan
explores what the popular demonstrations pushing for democracy in the Middle East mean for the
future of Islam in the region, how the Internet and social media have affected Islams evolution, and
how the war on terror has altered the geopolitical balance of power in the Middle East. He also
provides an update on the contemporary Muslim womens movement, a discussion of the
controversy over veiling in Europe, an in-depth history of Jihadism, and a look at how Muslims
living in North America and Europe are changing the face of Islam. Timely and persuasive,No god
but Godis an elegantly written account that explains this magnificent yet misunderstood faith.
Tablet & Pen: Literary Landscapes from the Modern Middle
East
The countries that stretch along the broad horizons of the Middle Eastfrom Morocco to Iran, from
Turkey to Pakistanboast different cultures, different languages, and different religions. Yet the
literary landscape of this dynamic part of the world has been bound together not by borders and
nationalities, but by a common experience of Western imperialism. Keenly aware of the collected
scars left by a legacy of colonial rule, the acclaimed writer Reza Aslan, with a team of four regionaleditors and seventy-seven translators, cogently demonstrates with Tablet and Pen how literature can,
in fact, be used to form identity and serve as an extraordinary chronicle of the disrupted histories of
the region.
Acting with Words Without Borders, which fosters international exchange through translation and
publication of the worlds finest literature, Aslan has purposefully situated this volume in the
twentieth century, beyond the familiar confines of the Ottoman past, believing that the writers who
have emerged in the last hundred years have not received their full due. This monumental
collection, therefore, of nearly two hundred pieces, including short stories, novels, memoirs, essays
and works of dramamany of them presented in English for the first timefeatures translated
works from Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and Turkish. Organized chronologically, the volume spans a
century of literaturefrom the famed Arab poet Khalil Gibran to the Nobel laureates Naguib
Mahfouz and Orhan Pamuk, from the great Syrian-Lebanese poet Adonis to the grand dame of Urdu
fiction, Ismat Chughtaiconnected by the extraordinarily rich tradition of resplendent cultures that
7/27/2019 at td 1.odt

have been all too often ignored by the Western canon.
By shifting Americas perception of the Middle Eastern world away from religion and politics,
Tablet and Pen evokes the splendors of a region through the voices of its writers and poets, whose
literature tells an urgent and liberating story. With a wealth of contextual information that places the
writing within the historical, political, and cultural breadth of the region, Tablet & Pen is
transcendent, a book to be devoured as a single sustained narrative, from the first page to the last.
Creating a vital bridge between two estranged cultures, "this is that rare anthology: cohesive,affecting, and informing" (Publishers Weekly).
Includes the writings of Kahlil Gibran, Tawfiq al-Hakim, Nzim Hikmet, Ismat Chughtai,
Muhammad Iqbal, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Forugh Farrokhzad, Ahmet Hamdi Tanpnar, Yaar Kemal,
Ghassan Kanafani, Mahmoud Darwish, Adonis, Ahmad Shamloo, Naguib Mahfouz, Orhan Pamuk,
and more.
How to Win a Cosmic War
The wars in the Middle East have become religious wars in which God is believed to be directly
engaged on behalf of one side against the other. The hijackers who attacked America on September11, 2001, thought they were fighting in the name of God. According to award-winning writer and
scholar of religions Reza Aslan, the United States, by infusing the War on Terror with its own
religiously polarizing rhetoric, is fighting a similar wara war that cant be won.
The book is both an in-depth study of the ideology fueling al-Qaida, the Taliban, and like-minded
militants throughout the Muslim world and an exploration of religious violence in Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam. At a time when religion and politics increasingly share the same vocabulary
and function in the same sphere, Aslan writes that we must strip the conflicts of our world of their
religious connotations and address the earthly grievances that always lie at its root.
How do you win a religious war? By refusing to fight in one.

Muhammad Abduhs influence in Southeast AsiaAmir, Ahmad N. and Shuriye, Abdi Omar and Daoud, Jamal Ibrahim (2013)Muhammad Abduhs influence in
Southeast Asia. Middle East Journal of Scientific Research (MEJSR), 13. pp. 124-138. ISSN 1990-9233
Abstract
Muhammad Abduh had a remarkably profound and lasting impact in South East Asia. His works and
ideaswerehighly influential in the region with strong repercussion in itspolitical and social landscape. He had
strongly impacted the movements of Muhammadiyah, al-Irshad and Persatuan Islam(Persis). HisTafsir al-
Manar,had powerfully influencedTafsir al-Azhar, Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim, Tafsir al-Quran al-Madjid (Tafsir
al-Nur), Tafsir al-Quran al-Hakim, Tafsir al-Misbah,and Tafsir al-Furqan. The Majallat al-Manarinitiated by
Muhammad Abduhhad significantly inspired many reform oriented works such asjournalal-Munir, al-Imam,
Saudara, al-Ikhwan, al-Dhakhirah al-Islamiyahand Seruan Azhar. Thus, this paper will attemptto surveyAbduhs extensive influence andits impact on Islamic reform (tajdid)in the Malay Archipelago.

Introduction
3rd International Conference on Engineering
Professional Ethics and Education (ICEPEE13)
Theme:
"Professional Ethics in Engineering Practice forQuality Service Delivery"
As the world move deeper and deeper into the fulfillment of the concept of the Global
Village in which the whole world considered as being closely connected by modern

telecommunications and as being interdependent economically, socially, and
politically, there is increasing apprehension globally that continual engineering
advancements and uncontrolled scientific research leading to contentious
breakthroughs may not always lead to ethically acceptable results such as in health,
education, tourism, telecommunication and other services. Reflecting on this concern,
the Faculty of Engineering at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is
organizing the third International Conference on Engineering Professional Ethics and
Education (ICEPEE13).
The 3rd ICEPEE13 focuses on various aspects of engineering professional ethics and
education; sustainable development which incorporates resource conservation andusage that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these
needs can be met not only in the present, but also for future generations as well as
maintaining a balance between material development and responsibility by
addressing a range of issues surrounding ethics and values in relation to daily life
human and conduct. Environmental problems cannot be solved through knowledge
and technology alone except supported adequately with moral conviction and ethical
consciousness on both individual and social levels to motivate people to forgo some
of the short-range profits of this life, and to make personal sacrifices for the common
good. We anticipate the participants will offer significant deliberations on the diverse
topics of the conference and share with the rest of the world their ideas and research
outputs.
