Doctor of what?
Sounds like an MLM meeting.
I have no doubt that he is a proud holder of a doctorate in "Islamic Sciences" or some other silliness.
Being from Washington State, I am terribly embarrassed of the fact that (among other things) the University of Washington became the first institution on the planet to offer degrees in 'women's studies'.
I think that they have homosexual-related 'degrees' also.
Higher education is quite often far from being either.
