Is any of this relevant in this new article?-- Sefringle 23:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
There's this by Tawfik Hamid: The Trouble With Islam I can't shake thinking I heard about him starting a counterorganization to CAIR down in Phoenix, AZ, and having something to do with the secular Islam summit down in Florida a few months ago. 66.8.139.9 07:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
First, thanks to Cltfn for starting this article. This person is more than notable. He's in radio shows, and in talks and so much more. I've removed the tag. We do need an expansion though which refers to these external sources but this is great for now. -- Matt57 19:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I've added references to Dr. Hamid's WSJ editorials and his piece at the Hudson institute. Ysageev ( talk) 21:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Other than Hamid's rambling, I'm not sure I recall Zawahiri ever leading al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya - he was still active with AJ during GI's heyday. Sherurcij ( speaker for the dead) 22:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Can we have the dates of when he joined and left? Faro0485 ( talk) 23:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
His bio says he tried to preach his peaceful message in mosques. I'd like to see a mosque that allows medical students who haven't received any religious education,to preach. This claim alone makes one question his credibility.
I went to his site regarding his qualifications, and he states he got his Masters from the University of Auckland. Their graduate search, however, under both names, comes up with nothing for all degrees.
I also noticed something else- on the Potomac institute site, he says he has a masters in cognitive psychology and educational techniques. But looking further, on his page he states he has a MLit (Edu), which University of Auckland states as a Masters in Literature with a speciality in Education- not cognitive psychology.
https://www.auckland.ac.nz/study-options/programmes/postgraduate/6945/master-of-literature-mlitt
Edit- found more information after contacting the university directly. He actually graduated with a Masters in Literature, not cognitive psychology. Graduated in 17 Nov 1997, under the full name of Tarek Mohamed Abdel Hamid.
This is troubling. His site states contrasting evidence:
"Dr. Hamid obtained his medical degree in Internal Medicine from Cairo University and a Master’s Degree in Cognitive Psychology and Educational Techniques from The University of Auckland School of Medicine and Health Science, New Zealand. Dr. Hamid is recognized for developing one of the most innovative Cognitive Psychology models, The Multi-Dimensional Learning Model."
"Currently Dr. Hamid MD, MLit (Edu) is a Senior Fellow at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies (PIPS)."
Which one is it, a Masters in Literature, or a Masters in Cognitive Psychology?
Thanks for that. I made it clearer by directly citing the correct qualifications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coldwayz ( talk • contribs) 04:26, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

As Hamid has been critiqued by a notable scholar and a notable blog, I thought it may be worth adding in a critique section. Please edit at will. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coldwayz ( talk • contribs) 04:27, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
Reverted edit; linked Google Books with direct link to quote. As for notability, the fact that the blog has a Wikipedia page in itself is some indication that it is notable. Will leave out for now.
Tawfik Hamid along with Walid Shoebat is in the business of making money by selling Islamophobia. He does not have any basic Islamic education background, let alone about Qur’an and Hadith. His education is in the field of medicine/medical related field. No one has been able to verify him to be ex-terrorist, or ex Jama’at (Gemaah) Islami or ex Ikhwanul Muslimin member.

I'm not sure if everything on IslamforPeace.org necessarily represents Hamid's views. That website is also dead. It seems better to remove that source from this page. VR talk 23:53, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
