Anwar Shaikhとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Mohammad Anwar Shaikh (born June 1, 1928 as Haji Mohammad - November 25, 2006) was a Punjabi-born Pakistani author residing in Cardiff. He was born into an Islamic Sunni family of Kashmiri ancestry in Gujrat, Punjab. His mother could recite a large part of the Qur'an from memory. During the violent days of the Partition of India in 1947 he, then filled with Islamist fervor, killed on one day two Sikhs, a father and his son. In his youth, Shaikh was a young ardent believer. He later killed another Sikh. But when he reached the age of 25, he began doubting Islam and later became its ardent critic, and memories of his crime have haunted him ever since. Thereafter he immigrated into U.K., married a Welsh woman, and became a successful businessman. The importance of Shaikh's work was recognised by Tariq Ali who devoted a chapter of his book 'The Clash of Fundamentalisms' to his views and the reaction they provoked.
