The Quest for a Moral Compass: A Global History of… di Kenan Malik

An excellent introduction to ethics. Malik is a wonderfully clear and unstuffy writer and in a relatively short book covers a huge amount of ground.

From Fatwa to Jihad: The Rushdie Affair and Its… di Kenan Malik

In [b:From Fatwa to Jihad|6424982|From Fatwa to Jihad|Kenan Malik|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348811775s/6424982.jpg|6614258] Malik offers an incisive accounting of the relationship between "multiculturalism" and the social balkanization that helped engender Islamic extremism, and in so doing grounds the infamous fatwa in a fascinating, and revealing, context. Malik dismantles the myths of both the "Islamophobia" and "Islamophilia" camps, providing along the way many cogent (and quotable) passages in defense of the right to write, publish, read, and offend. What is more, with his deft marshaling of many passages from [b:The Satanic Verses|12781|The Satanic Verses|Salman Rushdie|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1281988101s/12781.jpg|1434467], [b:From Fatwa to Jihad|6424982|From Fatwa to Jihad|Kenan Malik|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348811775s/6424982.jpg|6614258] serves double-duty as an excellent critical analysis of Rushdie's novel.

I highly recommend this book.
