I would like to clarify
that no where in my comment I have said that I
read the book or condemned Mr. Fateh's book. It
was just a general comment that in the post 9/11
world the demonizing of Islam is a popular past
time.
I have watched Mr. Fateh on
various occasions & also viewed his discussion
on Michael Coren show regarding his book. I
have heard Mr. Fateh speak in person & also
watched his shows , same goes for Ms Manji, Ms
Ali etc. Hence my comment was a generic one. So
maybe, Mr. Zaidi , whom I quote below to avoid
further confusion, will do the honorable thing,
re read my comment & choose to do the right
thing by the standards he set.
"Perhaps Nargis Mohammad
could dwell on where in the book does Tarek
Fatah "demonize Islam," but to do that she
would have to read the book. I look forward to
reading the page and chapter where Fatah
"demonized Islam" and if this cannot be
produced, then surely a detraction would be the
honorable thing to do, though highly unlikely."
