My research focuses on the 1xbet sports betting , culture, and politics of the modern Middle East and North Africa region, as well as the intellectual 1xbet sports betting of Islamic thought.

My first book, Reform and Its Perils in Contemporary Islam: The Case of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd (2024, Oxford University Press), concerns the efforts of Muslim intellectuals to reconcile their religious identities with liberal values in the contemporary world. Ever since the 1xbet sports betting world first encountered Western liberalism, the intellectual field of 1xbet sports betting thought has witnessed vibrant debates and a diversity of perspectives on the relationship between Islam and modernity. Many scholars of 1xbet sports betting thought have attempted to integrate liberal values, such as equality, freedom of thought, and freedom of conscience, with the 1xbet sports betting tradition. Muslim modernists argue that these ideals represent the most accurate expression of Islam when it is properly understood, even if the sacred texts and historical realities of Muslim communities seem to contradict their claims. With Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd (1943-2010) as a case study, the book analyzes the intellectual trends that propose a reconciliation between liberal values and Islam. It examines in depth the roadblocks and challenges to liberalizing 1xbet sports betting thought, both externally in the form of oppressive regimes and an intolerant religious arena, as well as internally at the level of intellectual arguments.

My current book project, A Million Clicks to Freedom: The Virtual Battlefield of Ideas in the Arab World, began with the support of a 0k Smith Richardson Foundation grant through a Fellowship at New America, then through a Wilson Center Fellowship. This book documents and analyzes the migration of reformist ideas among Arabic speakers to the digital sphere. While it is well known that authoritarian regimes, as well as extremist groups such as the 1xbet sports betting State, have been successful in drawing tens of thousands of recruits from around the world to their ranks, much less is known about Arabic speakers who are using social media to accomplish the opposite end, namely, to challenge established norms and push the boundaries of debate on taboo issues, be they historical, political, religious or social. They, too, have drawn large followings among their peers and they, too, have the potential to cause radical and irreversible change in their communities, as data and events in the past two decades have shown.
