Malise Ruthven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Malise Ruthven (born 1942) is a Scottish writer and historian on religion, fundamentalism, and especially Islamic affairs. He is one of the best known writers on Islamist terrorism and the jihadis currently writing. He appears to have been the first writer to use the term "Islamofascism" in The Independent on 8 September 1990.
Ruthven is the godson of Freya Stark and has published several collections of her photographs.
Ruthven has taught at the University of Aberdeen, the University of California, San Diego, and Dartmouth College.
He has also contributed an afterword to the most recent edition of Albert Hourani's History of the Arab Peoples, bringing that work up to date following Hourani's death.
