Dr Michael Feener and Muhamad Ali at Shangri La, Honolulu


I adore Dr Michael Feener's achievement in Islamic studies. He is now an assistant professor at the National University of Singapore. He has conducted significant research on Islam from a multidiciplinary approach: historical, textual and contemporary. His language skill is amazing; his emphaty and sympathy towards what and whom he studies are without doubt. I will write again about his works in due course, but this time it suffices to say that he is a model of genuine scholarship.

Hi,

I was the happy participant in a small informal seminar with Michael Feener today, and wanted to to google him which made your posting come up.

Feener's lecture was brilliant and showed a strong sympathy, as you also have noted, towards the subjects of his studies.

Setuju!

Best regards,
Jakob
