Comments & Reviews
If everyone could read The
Quest for Sanity, it would do a power of good for community relations.
Sir Teddy Taylor MP
It is a really helpful and well thought-out contribution to enlightened opinion.
Baroness J Whitaker, House of Lords
I have read all the essays with interest. They need as wide a circulation
as possible not least in the media.
John Battle, Faith Advisor to the Prime Minister and MP for Leeds West Constituency Office
I found The Quest for Sanity informative and stimulating.
Dr Michael Ipgrave, The Church of England, Archbishops' Council
I wish to commend the MCB on taking this initiative which will benefit a
cross section of people - leaders, opinion makers, legislatures,
academicians and ordinary souls.

The Quest For Sanity -
the first book of its kind from a Muslim perspective - deals with the
many and varied challenges that the world now faces as a result of that
fateful day. It is a collection of over thirty accounts and analyses by
both Muslim and non-Muslim contributors - academics, journalists,
lawyers, human rights activists, community workers and ordinary souls
about the wide-ranging impact and aftermath of the Sept 11 terrorist
attacks.
The book contains case studies and personal accounts of how Sept 11 has
affected people in the US, Britain and Europe.
It analyses the implications of the 'war on terror' for future world
order, the rule of law and civilized values. It examines the role of the
British media in fuelling Islamophobia: the irrational fear of Islam. It
goes into the historical roots of Islam in Britain. And there is an
important section on Islamic values and teachings about peace and war,
pluralism and living in a multi-faith society. And much more.
The Quest For Sanity
contains many uplifting moments and sobering accounts. At its heart is
an urgent call for increased dialogue and understanding between peoples.
The Quest For
Sanity has
an appeal and an enduring message, beyond September 11. It is a must
read book for our times.
