Tarek Fatah
Fascinating interview. Tarek Fatah is one gutsy, truly liberal Muslim:
Ive known this for a while about Tarek Fatah since i heard him on the radio.Hes a Muslim who all muslims should emulate.He asks hard questions about his own faith and others who follow Islam.
Exactly, Joshua. Unfortunately, he's one of the few true moderates out there who has the courage to speak up. Even more unfortunately, I fear the ONLY true moderates are the ones we know about, those who speak up; and you could count those on one hand.
