Perth event: Islamic Polsci Lectures

Salam alaik,

I should have posted this earlier, but I kinda forgot to do it.... We went to Dr. Ali Paul White's first lecture last night, and it was really good and informative. It was straight to the point and really reminded us of those that we have forgotten.

It's really really recommended to go and listen to! I urge you, those who are living or are in Perth to come- both Muslim and non-Muslim.

Islamic Enrichment Night: "MY JOURNEY TO ISLAM"

"THE FRAUD OF MODERATE ISLAM: NEITHER EAST NOR WEST"
FRIDAY 11TH AUGUST, 6:30pm,

Dr. Ali Paul White holds a PhD in Political Science (Middle East Politics) from Macquarie University. He is published in international scholarly journals and has presented at international and Australian conferences. He lectures extensively among Muslim youth in Australia's major cities, in his capacity of the community initiative Muslims For Peace (MFP).

Throughout his academic career, he has designed and taught courses in Middle East Politics, and the Politics of Middle Eastern Religions. His teaching includes the foundations of International Politics and Political Islam.
He has taught the contemporary experience of Islam in the West (especially in Australia and France), as manifested in debates around terrorism, hijab and refugees, and the emerging debates on secularism and resurgent Muslim and 'Christian Right' 'fundamentalisms'.
He is also experienced in teaching the evolution of Islamic political thought. He has taught courses on the countries of the Middle East - especially Iran, Turkey and Lebanon, as well as about the Kurds.
