I am a regular contributor to the Toronto Star and have a column in the Indian daily Madhyamam. My work also appears frequently in Al Jazeera, Newsweek, Middle East Eye, Zeteo, and various other publications. I regularly write on issues of free speech, global justice, Middle East affairs, Islam and Muslims, and the legal and ethical implications of contemporary conflicts.
