Frontpage Interview's guest today is Tarek Fatah, host of the weekly Canadian TV show, the Muslim Chronicle, and a frequent contributor to the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, and the National Post. A lifelong critic of Islamic extremism, Fatah has earned the ire of Islamists. For his work and perseverance as a writer and broadcaster, despite numerous death threats and intimidation, the National Press Club of Canada awarded Fatah the 2007 Press Freedom Award. Earlier, MacLean’s magazine named Fatah as one of 50 people it described as “Canada’s most well known and respected personalities." In 2002, he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal for his work in the community.
In the aftermath of 9/11, Fatah founded the Muslim Canadian Congress, a secular Muslim organization dedicated to the separation of religion and state, opposition to Islamic extremism, and an end to what it describes as "gender apartheid" that is practised in many parts of the Muslim community. He is the author of the new book, Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic illusion of an Islamic State. He can be contacted at tarekfatah@rogers.com. Read more ...
