Today Hayat Sindi is the keynote speaker for the Leadership Summit at the Council for the Advancement of Muslim Professionals. Samia is at the Wyndham Princeton Forrestal Hotel, where the Summit is being held a friend also attending the conference, forwarded the correspondence below.
Samia was registered to attend the Summit. Ten days before the conference, she received the following email:
Dear Ms. El-Moslimany,
The Council for the Advancement of Muslim Professionals (CAMP) reserves the right to refuse entry to its events to anyone, at its sole discretion and without explanation. This email is being sent to you to inform you that your registration for CAMP's 5th Annual Leadership Summit has been canceled and you will not be permitted to attend. A full refund for your Summit ticket has been made.
Sincerely,
CAMP Leadership Summit team
Her reply to Imran Eba, the Executive Director, was:
In addition, her personal, professional and academic resume calls into question her credentials as a scholar and a professional. What might seem as trivial dishonesty or vanity about her age, has given her opportunities that should have gone to those who actually fit the “youth” criteria for specific awards. For example, at 40 years of age, Sindi was awarded the 2007 Arab-American Science and Technology Young Professional Award: which “recognizes the early career achievements of a young Arab or Arab-American scientist or technologist.” At 42 years Sindi was granted the 2009 PopTech Social Innovation Fellowship: for “high potential young leaders.” And at 43 years she was awarded a 2011 National Geographic Emerging Scholar Award: which “supports uniquely gifted and inspiring young adventurers, scientists, photographers, and storytellers—explorers who are already making a difference early in their careers.” By misrepresenting her age, Sindi robbed opportunities for recognition, public relations support, funding opportunities and career advancement, from the very youth she proclaims to support with her new institute, http://i2institute.org. Again, not the actions of a true role model, not the least a Muslim one.
Secondly, professionally, Dr. Sindi promotes herself as one of the “one of the world's leading biotechnologists” and her company Sonoptix Technology, “a UK company established with Saudi seed money” as developing clinical diagnostics tools for the detection of cancer. According to online sources, Dr. Sindi is the only director, and perhaps only employee of Sonoptix, the company is housed in a storefront in Cambridge, UK, and has not ever produced, marketed or sold any product. For the records available online (http://company-director-check.co.uk/director/909517346) Sonoptix has a total capital of £1000 UK, and has had no financial activity whatsoever since 2007. These are just a couple of the inconsistencies in Dr. Sindi’s professional resume.
CAMP cannot be faulted with having been mislead about Ms. Sindi’s questionable ethical behavior and debatable academic and professional accomplishments. However canceling my registration at the behest of Hayat Sindi is unjust and unprofessional. I once again request that you reinstate my registration. I look forward to being able to reregister when I come to the Summit tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Samia El-Moslimany
CAMP refused to reconsider, and sent the following email.

Her reply to Imran Eba, the Executive Director, was:
Dear Mr. Eba,
I assume that you are
responsible for canceling my registration to the CAMP Summit and I would like
you to reconsider your decision. I am just one victim of Hayat Sindi's
manipulations. As a leader of an organization of Muslims, CAMP in general and the Summit in
particular, I hope you reconsider your association with, and implicit
endorsement of Hayat Sindi as a Model Muslim Leader.
As I mentioned in my previous email, Dr. Sindi has misrepresented both herself and her accomplishments as a Muslim and professional. Dr. Sindi has publicly been involved in an Islamically inappropriate relationship with my husband since December 2010, calling into serious question her commitment to social and Islamic ethics. In her home country of Saudi Arabia, she has brought a frivolous-lawsuit against me, the very woman whose marriage and family she has threatened to destroy. Moreover, she, herself, is currently under criminal investigation for the charges of seduction of my husband, for contributing to the destruction and damage of my 28 year marriage and family, and for an inappropriate relationship outside the bounds of Shariah with my haram (exclusive marital partner).

ReplyDeleteThis is clearly a site designed to vent spleen and publicly embarrass a husband and a woman who may, or may not, have had an affair with him... I see no proof here. Whilst it's easy for this blog to 'dish out the dirt', I'd like to see how long they can stomach this response, which I suspect will be removed, as much as I suspect that this blog's regard for the truth. But for the sake of the alternate viewpoint, and what I also view as simple truth, I'd like to state the following:
ReplyDeleteYou guys clearly don't know Samia El-Moslimany, a nightmare of a woman, who seems to be painted as a virtuous, wronged woman. She is a bit of haradon, who treats people with contempt, when they don't serve any purpose for her. She is a fighter and a woman whose will must be served: great qualities in a great leader, who serves their community, rather than themselves.... but she's no leader. She lacks the social grace evident in her ex-husband, and other members of her family, and I've been witness to how she embarrasses her husband in the way she treats others. When she fights, she can fight dirty. She comes across more as a despotic tyrant, who finds it hard to look at the consequences of her own actions. Everyone else is clearly to blame for the breakdown of her marriage in her mind.
She needs to do a little more soul searching and a little less mud slinging, in my view. Truth be known, it's amazing her saint of a husband stayed with her as long as he did.
Dear Anonymous, First of all your use of semantics and spelling has much to be desired.
DeleteYou obviously feel you need proof of a sordid, disgusting and damaging affair to an entire family. You seem to want all the thrills involved in debauchery. You feel you are entitled to every destructive detail in order to believe the true story.
You do NOT know Samia El-Moslimany and please do not to assume that you do. You can take all the negative descriptions that you so cleverly assert and sling them somewhere else. Perhaps back into the dirt where you obviously picked them out of.
Furthermore you have selected the wrong person to slander.
Samia is all the things you claim she is not.
She is a leader, a fighter for the underdog, a woman who has the courage of her convictions. She has the social grace to enter any situation confidently.She is decent, loving and gracious.We are ALL PROUD to call her our friend.
You appear to know quite a bit regarding her 'saint' of a husband for you even to call him this is quite telling on where you moral compass lies.
Ms.Anonymous and we clearly know who you are, please do spend some time searching you own soul if possible. It is clear with whom you affections lie. Quite disturbing actually.
May Allah guide you, Anonymous. I know only good of Samia. She has never sought to speak ill of anyone without warrant, and never publicly but that she might correct injustice. As her friend and sister, I recommend she not be saddened by your allegations, for people will always be talked when others know of their actions, for reasons too many to list. Samia is always eager to apologize if she sees or feels she has done something wrong. In my own lifetime, having known what I know and endured what I have endured, I believe people must speak up against wrong or it will perpetuate. Samia assures me she had nothing to do with this website, and I come here only to say that she has endeavored at every point to fear Allah and seek His guidance. May we all do the same. I hope, inshallah, to stand next to her on the Day of Judgment. May Allah guide and forgive us all, and teach us to be kind. Ameen.
