Jihad on Jihad: The Crisis of ISIS
Islamic studies scholar and founder of the first Islamic seminary in the U.S., Jihad Turk, explores the role of religious extremism and geopolitics in the rise of groups, such as ISIS. His visit to Albuquerque was sponsored by the Dialog Institute and he presented as part of the "Islam and the Middle East after the Arab Spring" colloquium series on Nov. 9, 2015.
Jihad Turk is the founding president of Bayan Claremont, an Islamic graduate school in Southern California. Prior to founding Bayan, Dr. Turk was religious director of the Islamic Center of Southern California, the oldest and largest mosque in the Los Angeles area. Born to a Palestinian Muslim father and an American Christian mother, Turk spent his college years traveling the Muslim world and exploring his roots in the Islamic tradition, including periods at the Islamic University of Medina where he studied Arabic and Islamic Studies and in Iran where he studied Farsi at the University of Tehran and in Qum. He earned his B.A. in History and Arabic at the University of California, Berkeley, and a Master’s degree at the University of Texas, Austin, in Arabic and Islamic law and jurisprudence. His research emphasizes usul al-fiqh, or jurisprudence, as well as theology and identity formation in the American Muslim community, interfaith relations and Islamic reform movements.
