The fate of Jewish converts to Islam

Tuesday 14 February, 7:30 pm UK, 2:30 pm ET. What do we know about Jews who converted to Islam and what was their fate? Professor Paul B Fenton of the Sorbonne in Paris, a specialist in Muslim-Jewish relations among other topics, will speak about the wider phenomenon of conversion to Islam, with particular reference to Morocco. He will tells us about specific converts from the Middle Ages and Modern Times. He is a prolific writer and the author of a book on the subject, On the Eminence of Israelites and Arabs. (The photo depicts Sol Hachuel, a Jewess in 19th century Morocco who chose martyrdom rather than convert to Islam).
