"The Book or the Word of God cannot guide man unless it is free from self-contradictions, ambiguities and misinterpretations. The author establishes this truth in Part-One through a critical but responsible study of the Koran, and offers the rational alternative to "revelation" in Part-Two of this book." (author's preface). Pp.240, 2 copies of a four sheet A4 promotional leaflet for the author's controvertial work "Islam: The Arab National Movement" loosely enclosed. Paperback. Scarce. VG.** "Shaikh was living in Cardiff, Wales, when a fatwa was issued against him from his homeland Pakistan in 1995, where at least fourteen fundamentalist clerics issued death sentences against him for renouncing and criticising Islam. The importance of Shaikh's work was recognized by Tariq Ali, who devoted a chapter of his book The Clash of Fundamentalisms to his views and the reaction they provoked. He died in Cardiff on 25 November 2006." (wiki).
