I’m an American-born Canadian writer, father and small-businessman. I write on topics as diverse as contemporary Islam, education, human rights, culture, political economy, and the promises and perils of digital literacy. A Muslim convert, ex-Marxist, and former teacher, with a degree in Philosophy and South Asian Studies, as well as years living in South Asia and the Middle East, I feel confident in putting out a spectrum of unorthodox views that are calculated to provoke discussion. Please join me in the dialogue; the more of us step outside the box occasionally, the more room there’ll be for everyone.
