This page will give you some ideas of the interests of the webmaster of this site. However in its current format it is hopelessly outdated. I'll concentrate more on the content of the websites than this page in lieu of shameless self promotion.
Imam Al-Ghazali Site 
Long overdue. This contains many of his major works with a heavy emphasis on  philosophical issues in al-Ghazali. This is sort of my daily grind, needless to say now an obsession. I think I have the Ghazali Measles.
Islamic Philosophy Site
This page is now a major effort to fill in an important gap in this academic field. What started out as single effort is now a group project. Which I hope will continue to flourish. See the stats page for more information
Dictionary of Muslim Philosophy
Just what it says. It is a dictionary of all those hard to understand Arabic terms. These are truly philosophical terms from the works of al-Kindi, al-Farabi, ibn Sina, al-Ghazali, and many others, including Mulla Sadra. 
Ibn Rushd Page 
Long overdue. This contains some of his major works with a heavy emphasis on his philosophical thought.
Ibn Sina Site 
Long overdue. This contains many of his major works especially those dealing with philosophy, do you see a trend here!
Journal of Islamic Philosophy
Long overdue and with a little help from my friends now a reality.
My Writings: 
Ethics 

This page contains some of the papers that I did for an Introductory Ethics class. These papers by their nature are limited to the text that was used in class. (Undergraduate Level)

Philosophy of Technology

This is was a result of a course that I had taken with the same title. It contains the papers that I wrote for the course a bit more. (Undergraduate Level) 

Miscellaneous:

These are papers that I have written from time to time. I have uploaded them in hope that they might be of benefit to the whole of humanity ;-) (High school - Undergraduate)

WITTGENSTEIN:

This paper that I have written on that philosopher and his concept of pain. I wrote for a course on the philosopher. (Undergraduate)

Islamyat:
A collection of thoughts and writings on things Islamic... (Just for fun and the Prophet)
Fonts:

Here is a set of fonts that I really like. I love the "Garamond/Palatino" family of fonts, it is much more tighter than Times Roman and it has that classical text book feel to it.

So I have created a font based on it that can be used for transliteration. This is based on the oxford set of transliteration used in 'Islamic/Arabic texts.' Included in the zip file is another font that has the most often used Islamic phrases in a calligraphic style, in Arabic of course. Their origin is long forgotten by now, I have used them font for my own purposes.

If they are of benefit to you, you are welcome to use them freely. No need to mention any credit. If you want to see what the font includes see this pdf file. A table of the transliteration system used by OUP for Tabari's Tafsir translation see this pdf file.

I have since found that many have done the same. Just enter Arabic Transliteration on a search engine to get a good idea of what's out there!

Vanity: 

My name in Arabic Calligraphy (Thulth), Turkish Tughra.
