The problematic nature of Wikipedia today ensures that uneducated individuals stifle academic contribution. As such, I have ceased virtually all editing since April 2006.

I am an advanced doctoral student with specialisations on the following topics:

  • Iranian exiles in the Ottoman Empire and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution;
  • Bahā'ī history in the Holy Land;
  • Nationalism and the rôle of religion in the Middle East, specifically with respect to Iran, Iraq, and Israel;
  • Shī`ī millenarianism;
  • political / radical / liberal Islam; and
  • general issues of identity and history & memory.

I have also completed a comparative study of the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah and its changing perceptions through history.

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ Unfortunately, Wikipedia's nature as an open encyclopædia allows anyone to edit articles, resulting in unscholarly (or anti-scholarly) results. Indeed, the entry on al-Qādisiyyah, which I wrote intially, has been corrupted repeatedly over time and is indicative of the reason I have ceased largely to contribute to Wikipedia. This link points to a restored version of one of my last attempts to maintain the al-Qādisiyyah article in April 2006.
