"This fascinating work by brave and brilliant Tarek Fatah is simultaneously thought-provoking, instructive and enlightening for laymen and scholars, Muslim and non-Muslim. This wonderful combination of knowledge, wisdom and foresight – a progressive and honest Muslim’s cry from his heart – is an invaluable and rare addition to the corpus of Islamic literature in the post-Nine-Eleven world, a bold step towards Islamic Reformation and Enlightenment. I find Chasing a Mirage a timely wake up call for the pathetically retarded, arrogant and ignorant Muslims, whose collective denial of self-inflicting wounds and their ridiculously impractical quest for the elusive Islamic State are responsible for their backwardness and terrorism in the name of Islam. One may fully agree with the author that it is high time the Muslim Ummah gets its sense of direction, and this may come only through democracy, freedom and knowledge."
