Book Review 

Chasing A Mirage – The Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State. 

Author: Tarek Fatah
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., Canada
Reviewed By: Javed I. Chaudry

n response to J.I. Chaudry Post no. 40.
 
  
The fact that Mr. Chaudry has passed judgment on the MCC without ever being present at any of its events including the one he mentions demonstrates beyond doubt that he is influenced by nothing but prejudice towards the MCC and its members. He has concluded that the behavior of MCC members was "disgraceful" and "shameful" based on heresy.
It is true that Dr. Tahir Qazi was asked several times to wind up his presentation as time was short and Tarek had still not read from his book,  however there was no "booing"ever during the entire duration of the presentation.  After the event, I went up to Dr. Qazi to thank him for his effort in preparing the presentation and for taking the trouble to come from Buffalo, NY.  Dr. Qazi was gracious in accepting my appreciation and did not in the least appear to be perturbed over what happened.
