	Prem Rawat Critique - Ron Geaves
		Ron Geaves is a Professor in the Study of Religion [*].
		Geaves make no mention of either element and it is indeed the case that no single dominant exterior influence appears to have been behind the re-ashramisation that accompanied the heightened devotionalism demanded by Rawat at that time.
		Geaves' conflation of the 1982 [1982 - 1983] closure of the ashrams with his erroneous chronology of the Divine Light Mission/Elan Vital name change leaves his analysis of this period highly questionable and Geaves' presentation of the purpose behind the closure as being part of a strategic aim to 'de-Indianise' seems partial at best.

		The letter was originally sent to Dr. Geaves' published work email address, which Dr. Geaves admitted receiving, but replied that he would not respond to it at a work email account.
		Since Dr. Geaves would not, even after repeated requests, provide his home email address, (although he claims to have one), the letter was then sent by paper mail to his home address.

	Anyone want to help making the Ron Geaves article better? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Geaves has written a couple of articles about Prem Rawat, his guru, for various scholarly journals without publically disclosing in those pieces that he is a follower of Rawat (a/k/a Maharaji).
		For instance, in a 2006 article, Geaves commented on the "Millenium" festival Rawat held in Houston in 1973, noting that "The event had taken on millenial expectations in the U.S. with devotees announcing and advertising Maharaji's appearance at the stadium as a second-coming, complete with angelic and alien visitors.
		Geaves has also written a number of papers related to Maharaji and affiliated organizations to combine his first hand knowledge of the subject (Geaves is a student of Maharaji) with his academic training to provide insights into this movement

	Aspects of Islam
		Geaves (University College Chester, UK) examines ten controversial issues in Islam using a "differing viewpoints" methodology.
		Geaves is particularly skillful at demonstrating the variety of Muslim perspectives on each topic and avoiding the error of presenting a "monolithic" Islam.
		Although this work is not suitable as a stand-alone summary of Islam, Geaves manages to weave into his account much basic material.

	Conservative Propaganda: Redefining Terrorism Away
		Professor Ron Geaves of the University of Chester in England is claiming that the London Tube bombings of last July 7, in which 52 innocent people were butchered and 700 wounded, was not terrorism at all but rather a form of extreme demonstration.
		Professor Geaves went on to complain about labelling the four suicide bombers as terrorists, "Terrorism is a political word which always seems to be used to demonise people." Perhaps rather than demonize mass-murdering terrorists and hurt the feelings of their constituencies, maybe we should just call them "robust protestors."
		However, Professor Geaves does illustrate the peculiar European and leftist approach to dealing with terrorism: Simply redefine it away so that it really isn't terrorism but something else, not an act of religious war but more a mundane political demonstration demanding tangible, normal, understandable things.

	Dr Ron Geaves' response to ex-premie Hate Group attack
		British academic, Dr Ron Geaves, has been the subject of continuing harassment in web sites which infringe copyright laws, contain statements designed to intimidate, accuse him of fraudulent research because he wrote a positive paper about the history of Elan Vital, and encourage readers to write letters of complaint to his employers.
		The "Geaves must go" web site (2004) was removed after complaints to the hosting service, however, the contents have been preserved in another disinformation web site.
		Creating websites displaying ambiguous headings like 'Geaves must go' has caused considerable distress to my family, whilst hiding behind anonymity is universally deemed to be cowardly.

		Study of the transmigration of the worship of Baba Balaknath from the Punjab to Britain provides a unique insight into the transformation of a regional Hindu folk cult as it attempts to legitimise itself through moving closer to the 'Great Tradition' in Hinduism or adopting an eclectic universalism.
		Ron Geaves is Head of the Study of Religions at University College Chichester.

	Oliver Kamm: Political violence and the free society
		Prof Geaves said: "I have included, rather controversially, the events in London as primarily an extreme form of demonstration and assess what these events actually mean in terms of their significance in the Muslim community.
		Few would go as far as he does in criticising the term "terrorism" to describe killing 52 civilians, but many would argue that violence in some manifestations, while illegitimate, ought to be considered a form of protest by the voiceless as a counterweight to the violence of the state.
		It is true, as Professor Geaves points out, that the word terrorism is used politically in order to denote illegitimacy of certain types of violence.

	In the Bullpen » English Professor Claims July 7 Bombings ‘A Demonstration’ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Not everyone agrees with Geaves’ statement though, including Sir Iqbal Sacranie, the secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, who said the bombings were acts of terrorism.
		I don’t see the connection to how Geaves’ comments could be used to demonize Muslims, but it is rather ironic that Geaves prepared the above comments in a speech to Muslims in England while a Muslim leader of England calls the acts terrorism.
		One is trying to identify the cold-blooded killing on July 7, 2005 to an act of demonstration while the other is rightfully calling that act terrorism.

		First, I don't think you should include the words from the letter about Shri Hans birthday as it's already covered in the description, it's not interesting enough to warrant an exact quotation and it detracts from the significant text that follows.
		Second, why not include something to the effect that Ron Geaves specifically denied that Rawat knew of, let alone participated, in the hype?

		Reports of these events are frequently one-sided, and fail to satisfy the intense curiosity about Muslim beliefs and practices, while perpetuating unhelpful stereotypes which contribute to the rising phenomenon of ‘Islamophobia’.
		In Aspects of Islam, Ron Geaves seeks to go beyond these stereotypical images to reveal the full diversity of Islam in the contemporary world.
