Scattered Pictures: Reflections Of An American Muslim
"On the issue of civilization, one has to remember that Islamic Civilization is a very important episode in our history of mankind, and someone like Zaid Shakir is a student of it and knows the literature and what it has achieved. And many of the big, loud-mouthed voices in modern politics pretend to speak for Islam and don't speak for that civilization at all. They have lost all contact with the philosophers and the poets".Dr. Scruton also said, he was "encouraged" by his exchange with Imam Zaid, and saw signs of hope in the ongoing engagement of Muslims and the West. --British political philosopher - Dr. Roger Scruton, author of "Culture Counts: Faith and Feeling in a World Besieged"."Imam Zaid Shakir is one of the towering principle voices not only in contemporary Islam, but in American society." --Dr. Cornel West, author of "Democracy Matters", #1 Best SellerOutstanding Brilliance in literature!
