Irfan Husain
Fatal faultlines : Pakistan, Islam and the West - Noida HarperCollins 2012 - 238p.
Do people of different faiths, different histories and backgrounds share similar goals and objectives? How are citizens of Muslim countries different from Americans in their aspirations and perspectives? Does humanity, at its core, share common values - ones that can form the basis of peaceful co-existence for people from different parts of the world belonging to different religions? Do we really understand each other's perspectives? These questions have never been more important than they are now, as two societies stare at each other across an abyss that threatens to engulf us all. In Fatal Faultlines, veteran journalist Irfan Husain examines the motivations and attitudes of Muslims towards America. Drawing on personal experiences, interviews and decades of observations, he explains how different perceptions and misunderstandings have poisoned attitudes on both sides.
