Qamar-ul Huda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Qamar-ul Huda is an American religious scholar.[1]

Qamar-ul Huda is a senior program officer in the United States Institute of Peace Religion and Peacemaking program.[2]

Qamar-ul Huda is the author of "Striving for Divine Union: Spiritual Exercises for Suhraward Sufis".

Qamar-ul Huda wrote a personal account of the new demands for his expertise following the attack on the USA on September 11, 2001.[3]

Qamar-ul Huda was one of three American Professors of Religion who drafted letters to be submitted to Murat Kurnaz's Administrative Review Board.[4] Their letter assured his Board that the Islamic missionary group Tablighi Jamaat was a peaceful apolitical group. Kurnaz's affiliation with Tablighi Jamaat was one of the justifications for his continued detention in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.
