In addition to his medical training, Dr. Hashmi holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Arabic & Islamic Studies from U.C. Berkeley and Harvard respectively.  His research work focuses on the ethics of war and the sanctity of life in the Qur’an, and the doctrine of jihad in Islamic history. Dr. Hashmi wants to keep his research relevant to contemporary discourses on Islam, modernity, and ethics.  In this interview we touched on many topics, such as Islamophobia (particularly in the American context), Islamic modernism, reactions to change, Quranic interpretation, hadith criticism, and much more.  This was a prerecorded episode.
