Muqtedar
Khan is one of the rising stars among Muslim intellectuals in the
West. " -- The Daily Star
"Voice
of Moderate Islam" -- Los Angeles Times and
the Boston Globe
"A
Rare Moderate Voice"
-- The Daily Times
"I
think that Dr Khan helps reinforce that the war on terrorism is
not a war on Islam" -- General Richard Myers, Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff (Feb 23, 2003).
Muqtedar
Khan brings passion, eloquence and intellectual power to bear on
his subject.
-- Dr. Ali Mazrui
Muqtedar
Khan's intelligent, reasoned, self-critical, impassioned and provocative
Muslim voice makes a distinctive and significant contribution to
the process of reexamination and reform that has been made even
more urgent in the aftermath of 9/11.
-- John L. Esposito
To
my mind, Dr. Muqtedar Khan has lived up to the challenging role of
of the public intellectual in a time of crisis. -- Akber S. Ahmed
Khan
believes his more liberal voice highlights a historical tension
between traditionalist Islamic theologians, who tend to furnish
more conservative fatwas and Islamic philosophers who
go for the more flexible rulings.
-- Washington Post.
"But
make no mistake: Khan, 36, is one of a growing number of young,
moderate Muslim thinkers who believe themselves engaged in a
battle for the soul of Islam." -- Newsday
