New Publication - Mr. Tarek Fatah

July 23, 2008
 

The University Library has just recently received a gift from Mr. Tarek Fatah, author of a newly-published (2008) book entitled “Chasing a Mirage: the Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State”, delivered to us by a BU graduate Mr. Saber Saber.

The book is acclaimed as a “fascinating work by a brave and brilliant [author], [one] that is simultaneously provoking, instructive and enlightening for laymen and scholars, Muslim and non-Muslim.  [It is] a wonderful combination of knowledge, wisdom and foresight – a progressive and honest Muslim’s cry from his heart….. a bold step towards Islamic Reformation and Enlightenment.”
