What are Jonathan AC Brown's qualifications in the Islamic sciences?
1 Answer
Apparently not a lot! Brown had two grades in Arabic before going to Egypt for a year. Those two grades comprised two semesters of which he skipped half of the first semester resulting in almost zero Arabic - as he says in his own words. Then he scraped into an institution in Egypt and spent one year there to acquire everything he needed to undertake his scholarly work. https://youtu.be/Y9J2OOci1Sw
