MUSLIM IN THE DOCK

Lukman Harees’s book ‘Muslim in the Dock’ emerges not only as a powerful weapon to combat Islamophobia but also as a useful instrument to effect course correction. The book is an erudite and hard-hitting response to the divisive forces that work against our common humanity, common destiny, and mankind’s unity. At a time when much effort is required to be made to establish equality and fraternity in human society before another holocaust tarnishes human history, the book is timely and a must-read.
