About Me

I'm a writer and journalist who divides his time between Washington, DC and New Delhi. My book on the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Indonesia, My Friend the Fanatic: Travels with a Radical Islamist, has been (or will be) published in four countries: Australia, the U.S., Indonesia and India. Check out my website if you're interested in the nice things people have to say about it.

Over here I blog about places I know a thing or two about--India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan--and just about anything else that catches my fancy. I also share links to my op-eds and reviews for the Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com, YaleGlobal and others.
