Imaduddin (ICMI)

Imaduddin is an Indonesian religious and political activist and the spiritual head of the Indonesian Association of Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI).[1] An engineer by training, Imaduddin was imprisoned by the Suharto regime for his Islamic activism, before being permitted to organise ICMI under the patronage of the Indonesian vice-president, B. J. Habibie.

His conversation (interview) with V.S. Naipaul (Nobel Laureate 2001 - Literature) is the opening "story" of the book titled "Beyond Belief" [2][3]
