Canadian writer Tarek Fatah exclusive Interview by Devang Bhatt
Tarek Fatah (born November 20, 1949), is a Canadian writer, broadcaster, a secularist and liberal activist. He is the author of Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State. In the book Fatah challenges the notion that the establishment of an Islamic state is a necessary prerequisite to entering the state of Islam. He suggests that the idea of an Islamic state is merely a mirage that Muslims have been made to chase for over a millennium. Chasing a Mirage was shortlisted for the $35,000 Donner Prize for 2008–09[1] but did not win.
Fatah's second book, titled The Jew Is Not My Enemy: Unveiling the Myths that Fuel Muslim Anti-Semitism,[2] was published by McClelland & Stewart in October 2010. The book won the 2010 Annual Helen and Stan Vine Canadian Book Award in Politics and History.
In May 2009, Fatah joined CFRB 1010. Later that fall, he joined John Moore's morning show as a contributor.[3] Until 2015, he hosted The Tarek Fatah Show on Sunday afternoons. Fatah has a weekly column in the Toronto Sun and was a frequent guest on the now defunct Sun News Network.[4]
Fatah is the founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress and served as its communications officer and spokesperson for several years, and was frequently quoted in the press as a result. Fatah advocates gay rights, a separation of religion and state, opposition to sharia law, and advocacy for a "liberal, progressive form" of Islam. Some of his activism and statements have met with considerable criticism from other Canadian Muslim groups.
He is a staunch critic of Pakistan in his articles and columns often agitating to demand its disintegration, which have earned him much controversy. In February 2013, the website of the Toronto Sun, where Fatah contributes his articles, was blocked in Pakistan. According to reports by Fatah himself, the block was likely due to Fatah's unsparing critiques of Pakistan published in the tabloid.[5] According to Fatah, he is also banned from making public speeches or lectures in Pakistan.
