'Jet set' academic to be professor of Islam
06-11-2007
Muslim theologist Tariq Ramadan has been appointed the first professor of Islam at Leiden university.
The chair is paid for by the sultan of Oman.
Ramadan is known as a moderate, but critics have accused him of being a wolf in sheep's clothing and of spending too much time jetting around the world giving speeches than doing research, the Volkskrant says.
