Jordan Watch: Naseem talks to John Esposito

An update and analysis of media and socio-economic changes in Jordan from a social democratic perspective.

Saturday, April 26, 2008

I am curious why Naseem Tarawneh has never mentioned this in his blog, but I was excited to read this month's issue of Jordan Business where our friend blogger talked to the prominant American writer and researcher John Esposito about his latest ground breaking book "Who Speaks for Islam?" which is an analytical description and discussion of six year survey by the Gallup Organization between 2001 and 2007, where over 50,000 interviews in more than 35 predominantly Muslim countries were conducted in face-to-face, hour-long sessions.

Esposito is one of the very few American scholars who are rational in their analysis of the dynamics of the Muslim World and he was never a promoter of the clash of civilisation theory.

This is the complete transcript of the interview published by Jordan Business

i've been an esposito fan since i could read, and more so as a student of political science.

But...I try to keep my work life separate from my blog life
