The Last Moderate Muslim

The Last Moderate Muslim

The intimate and dramatic story of two brothers, contaminated by their upbringing and religious violence, The Last Moderate Muslim is an authentic rendition of the root causes of chronic conflict in the Middle East. It is about negotiating a complex sibling relationship--one a budding terrorist, Nabil, the other a reluctant moderate, Ziad--in the absence of paternal affection.

Ziad wages a jihad for his own survival among family and allies. The story reveals the power of education, interfaith love, resiliency, and simple yet life saving choices--those of acceptance, reconciliation, and forgiveness--as a means to counter senseless violence.

Much like the protagonist, the author lived in a combat zone during the civil war in Lebanon, for fifteen years and witnessed sectarian executions, survived remorseless snipers and indiscriminate rockets--and ultimately negotiated a humanitarian way out.

Inspired by his story, the novel exposes cultural details and unsparing insights into radical believers of various faiths that are applicable to the current situation in the Arab world and the Middle East, and that can ultimately suggest a road map out of the geopolitical and religious violence--toward peace.
