1. The Tragic Illusion Of An Islamic State

The book should be required reading for policy makers, journalists and academics studying and reporting on the rise of Islamism. Fatah suggests the threat this movement poses to liberal secular democracies such as India, North America and Europe is being underestimated and fought militarily, when it should be fought ideologically and politically, primarily by Muslims.

2. The Jew is Not My Enemy

In this provocative new book, Fatah uses extensive research to trace how literature from as early as the seventh century has fueled the hatred of Jews by Muslims. Fatah debunks the anti-Jewish writings of the Hadith literature, takes apart the Arab supremacist doctrines that lend fuel to the fire, and reinterprets supposed anti-Jewish passages in the Quran. In doing so he argues that hating Jews is against the essence of the Islamic spirit and suggests what needs to be done to eliminate the agonizing friction between the two communities.

3. Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic lllusion of an Islamic State

In Chasing a Mirage , Tarek Fatah Writes: Islamists argue that the period following the passing away of Muhammad was Islam′s golden era and that we Muslims need to re–create that caliphate to emulate that political system in today′s world. I wish to demonstrate that when Muslims buried the Prophet, they also buried with him many of the universal values of Islam that he had preached.
