Hes certainly not a scholar. I dont know him but just looked the name up. He seems to be majored in philosophy and french litrature (at least in his Masters degree and Phd. He teaches Islam at Oxford and is the son of the secretary of the leader of Muslim brotherhood Hasan al Banna. It seems he just has an interest in Islam and beleifs etc. Some have criticized him for saying that Islamic laws related to hodood (punishments for stealing, murder etc) should be "put on hold" due to circumstances in Muslim countries that make it hard to apply correctly. (ie he isnt against the principle).

The above is from Arabic wiki, so take it for what its worth.
