Opis

Steve Howard departed for the Sudan in the early 1980s as an American graduate student beginning a three-year journey in which he would join and live with the Republican Brotherhood, the Sufi Muslim group led by the visionary Mahmoud Mohamed Taha. Taha was a religious intellectual who participated in the early days of Sudan s anti-colonial struggle, but quickly turned his movement into a religious reform effort based on his radical reading of the Qur an. He was executed in 1985 for apostasy.
