Granta has highlights from its “Over There” issue available freely on the Web. The editors asked a bunch of writers to talk about how America sees the world (you’ll want to read this in conjunction with their previous issue, which was on how outsiders see America.) I wanted to direct readers to Murad Kalam’s piece, where he talks about the time he spent in Egypt and his disillusionment with the Arab-Muslim world (or what he’s seen of it.) I have to say I do agree with him about the “tyranny that now masquerades as Islam” though I wish he had elaborated a bit more on that and tried to tease the political from the liturgical.
