I chaired a fascinating, almost frighteningly synergistic panel on history and legacy of late 19th C European converts to Islam. Apologies that it was indeed a manel, though female scholars are amply featured at MBRN #ConvertsConference

Enjoyed a fantastic conference on Muslim converts in Britain hosted by MBRN and Islam UK Centre. Thank you to the organisers, fellow speakers, and for those that contributed questions.
