My book reviewed in the Wall Street Journal: "An exceptional feat of investigative research... [Depicts] the historical moment when the modern overpowered the ancient—a world, now lost, of floridly costumed courtiers, fabled princes, exotic vices and perfumed palaces"

The lead reviewer into antisemitism in British schools has previously been accused of singling out Muslim schools by suggesting they could potentially threaten Britain's coherence as a nation. Sir David Bell made the remarks in 2005 when he was the head of Ofsted. Story below:

We all know about Man City, but how much of UK does the UAE really own? I investigated for @MiddleEastEye. Tracing Emirati-linked holdings in the UK took me from the glitz of Mayfair’s Berkeley Square to the pub and back, via the high street pound shop. Thread below 1/

goethe was 65 when he read hafez in translation, called him his twin and wrote back to a man who’d been dead in shiraz for four hundred years with the west-östlicher divan. a century later iqbal read the divan, understood it as a letter and answered goethe with payam-e-mashriq.

Delighted to be able to write this piece for @EngelsbergIdeas on the Sufi ‘Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi and the Islamic Enlightenment. engelsbergideas.com/essays/i…

Islam’s own Enlightenment

Sufi thinkers such as ʿAbd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi championed toleration and independence of thought long before Europeans brought their Enlightenment to the Muslim world.

The result is a victory for Burnham's Labour, but less of a catastrophe for Polanski than many of his critics are claiming. With a volatile electorate there are clear signs that the Green Party can be optimistic about its potential for future growth: middleeasteye.net/news/why-n…

EXCL: The British government wouldn't comment today after the Israeli foreign minister accused the UK of freezing "military dialogue and security cooperation" with Israel. This was an extraordinary claim, for which there is no publicly available evidence: middleeasteye.net/news/uk-wo…

Beyond the fact that the closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem - occupied Palestinian territory - is not in Israel’s prerogative, it is yet another attempt by this far-right Israeli government to block a two-state solution. It is illegal, and the UK must resist it.
