Is Tarek Fatah a "Secular Muslim" or an "Ex-Muslim Secularist"?


Do Canadians ever wonder why Canadian Muslims are so averse to Tarek Fatah's thinly veiled diatribes against Islam? Is the Muslim Canadian Congress (MCC) really a group devoted to protecting the social fabric of Canada against the non-existent threat of "Islamism"? The answer to these questions are not difficult and really require one to simply look at the evidence. Tarek Fatah claims to be a Muslim, all the while being a secularist, despite showing lucid contempt for Islam. As one tweeter recently noted on the 24th of August, 2013:



Tweeter Doug Janack does make a good point "I don't think I've read a single thing by you that doesn't support Dawkins' sneering contempt for Islam." It's not a difficult statement for a Muslim to understand because all Tarek Fatah has done in the last decade is demean and vilify the vast Canadian Muslim public (let alone Islam) while pretending to be an expert on Islam. On the same day which the above tweet was taken, Tarek Fatah displayed some of his anti-Islamic bigotry. In the first tweet a tweet by the name of O.J. rightfully claims that Tarek Fatah is not an authority on Islam. In response Tarek Fatah tweets back in his usual banal and derogatory language -- hardly fit for a so-called "real Muslim".  Tarek Fatah tweets "Yeah right, I'm just not ugly enough to be considered a real Muslim by Islamists in black shrink wraps." Firstly, Tarek Fatah alleges that like the majority of Muslims, he's not "ugly" enough, to be considered one, especially by scholars in "black shrink wraps". 



In another tweet Tarek Fatah alleges that only "bearded Islamic scholars can come up with with the science of flying horses and moon splitting". In this tweet Tarek Fatah's belief in Islam comes under attack as he employs sarcasm to mock 1) bearded men and the "science" of 2) flying horses, and 3) moon splitting -- all three ideas core to Islam. Firstly, it is incumbent on Muslim men to grow the beard. Secondly, the baraq* (not horse) upon which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) rode on into the 7 heavens is an essential belief in Islam. Thirdly, the miracle performed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in which he split the moon is mentioned in the Quran, Surah 55, The Moon, Verses 1-2. 



Whether Tarek Fatah is really a Muslim is up to the reader's discretion. One can only wonder how an alleged "Muslim" such as Tarek Fatah agrees with the following tweet by Richard Dawkins.


Muslims are honestly left speechless. What is Tarek Fatah really? A "secular Muslim" or an "ex-Muslim secularist"? It wouldn't be far-fetched to assert that Tarek Fatah is really an "ex-Muslim secularist" robbing people of their hard-earned money whilst pretending to be an authority on Islam.
