Non-Muslim Islamic scholars
- Non-Muslim Islamic scholars
A Non-Muslim Islamic scholar is a scholar of Islam who is not a Muslim. Among the fields of study of the early Orientalists, most of whom were not Muslims, was Islam. Eventually, the term Orientalist was replaced [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism#From_.22Oriental_Studies.22_to_.22Asian_Studies.22] with the more modern Western scholar or Arabist.
Among the characteristic traits of the works of the earliest scholars was the Christian-apologist approach to Islam, most notably in the naming of the first translation of the Qur'an they produced: While this approach was kept by scholars such as Henri Lammens, and is still adopted by contemporary scholars such as Ibn Warraq, other scholars such as Karen Armstrong have taken a more hagiographical approach. In recent times, there have emerged non-Muslim scholars with a higher familiarity for the Shi'a denomination, most notably Wilferd Madelung
