Aloha!
GREAT NEWS! Our website is finally here! www.msaphawaii.org is intended to
become a one-stop resource for scholars and individuals interested in
finding out more about Islam in Asia and the Pacific. We regularly update the content and will continue to develop additional functionalities on the website. Please take some time to browse around!
We recently added coverage of Muslim societies in the Pacific as part
of our new goal, thus the recent and gradual name change from Muslim Societies in
Asia (MSIA) to Muslim Societies in Asia and the Pacific (MSAP). The
name change will take full effect over the next few weeks.
We will continue reaching out to you with this weekly newsletter. Don't forget to also keep checking our Facebook page. On our website you will also see links to our Twitter page, Linked In networking group, and Vimeo channel. Enjoy!
Mahalo,
