THE MODERATE MARTYR: A radically peaceful vision of Islam.
The New Yorker has one hell of an article that was posted on the 5th anniversary of 9/11. It's about a person I have great respect for and admire greatly. It's about one of my main political role models.Continue reading Drima's interesting commentary...... I don't think I've ever seen such an unbiased piece of journalism before. I, as a Sudanese political junkie can tell you that the writer, George Packer does an excellent job bringing all the different Sudanese views about Ustaz Taha and the criminals who executed him. The article describes the decay of my country under the Islamists who seized power and brought nothing but cruelty and corruption. It also talks about Prof. Abdullahi Ahmed an-Naim, who was a student of Ustaz Taha. Prof. Ahmed an-Naim fled to the United States after Ustaz Taha was executed. He's now the Charles Howard Candler Professor of Law at Emory University School of Law.
