Live Twitter Notes from Habib Ali’s event at Friends’ House

Our new friend (and invited guest blogger) Cameron Peron (co-founder and Managing Partner of Qualeady Ltd., an online lead generation company focused in Western European markets) recently interviewed me.

After reading one of my tweets, his interest was piqued about IslamCrunch. Soon after, we got on Skype and began a new friendship.

Cameron says about IslamCrunch: “One of the most effective uses of the internet, is the ability to promote a movement with upright intentions.  IslamCrunch is an excellent example of a web-property that targets a deep and narrow niche and applies effective communication tools to build a loyal and vibrant traffic base.  It’s one of the most effective projects utilizing web tools to push a religious point of view online today.

In 2008, Zaytuna Institute launched its first Summer Arabic Intensive, a rigorous 8-week program that would offer students much more than what similar programs at any other American university did.
Instead of offering a learning environment disconnected from what was
being taught, Zaytuna created a community of learning, where students
were immersed in an Arabic-speaking environment inside and outside the classroom.

Zaytuna is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the Summer 2009 Arabic Intensive. Please take a moment to explore our program through this website, and we look forward to seeing you this summer. We trust you’ll find our Summer Intensive as fulfilling as the graduates of Summer 2008 did.
