– Non-Muslim contribution: Arab, Persian, Turkish, Kurdish, Greek, …and others, of different religions and backgrounds.
– Exogenous disciplines/ideas/thought that had an impact, were received and are an inherent part of Islamic civilisation.

THE BULLETIN OF THE ROYAL INSTITUTE FOR INTER-FAITH STUDIES [BRIIFS] is a refereed annual academic journal that publishes essays, articles, notices, and book reviews in #English, #French, and #Spanish. BRIIFS is intended to provide a venue for interdisciplinary academic inquiry into all fields of the humanities and social sciences that bear upon cultural or civilizational interaction, such as anthropology, archaeology, fine arts, history, literature, politics and sociology, and to situate cultural contact in a global context. The scope of articles submitted to the journal need not, therefore, be confined to the Middle East or to any fixed geographical region.
