The Guardian also published another review of the book by Madeleine Bunting which is worth reading. She makes the following interesting point:

"Husain's book will be used in many debates - the future of multiculturalism, whether infringements of civil liberties are necessary to combat terrorism, what parts of Islamist histories from Asia and the Middle East a British Muslim community needs to jettison. One suspects the naivety which took him into Hizb-ut Tahrir has blinded him as to how his story will be used to buttress positions hostile to many things he holds dear - his own faith and racial tolerance, for example. A glance at the blog response to a Husain piece in the Telegraph reveals how rightwing racism and anti-Islamic sentiment are feasting on his testimony."

Ziauddin Sardar's review of the book for the Independent is more critical and is also worth reading.

*quality idea! It would be really nice to have a philosophy collective - I originally though of creating one but eventually decided on my Islamica collective. I picked up a Philosophy Masters a few years ago and would be happy to contribute.

*Congrats!

"I was wondering if any would be interested in starting a collective of videos that actually doesn't bash belief in God but openly discusses it with, well, some respect."

Amen, and *quality!
