Opis

"Taliban: the Tip of a Holy Iceberg" is the author's own improvement on his recent book "Civilizational Narcissism," which became the most widely discussed book in Pakistan before and after the Taliban insurgency in Pak-Afghan region. "A perfect diagnosis of the syndrome that we have acquired as Muslims, particularly those of Pakistan. Involving as fiction without being fiction, poetic without being poetry, authentic like science, here you have the most daring comment on Muslim mindset by a Muslim thinker. Every Pakistani must read it." (Saadullah Barq, Daily Express, Pakistan.) " Mobarak Haider's book which discovers our collective syndrome of Civilizational Narcissism, is a doctor's prescription as well as a piece of literature. In my view this book ought to be made part of Pakistan's High School syllabus, so that Muslim students understand their history better." Review on BBC(Urdu) by Mohammad Hanif, author of the widely acclaimed novel 'A case of Exploding Mangoes'.
