One of my favourite pieces that I wrote for the Guardian in 1999 on how Islamists increasingly took to the courts to silence liberals in the Arab world,, often with the tacit approval of the state. Nasr Hamed Abu Zeid and his wife Ebtihal Younis – who they infamously tried to separate – were two of the most visible of their targets.

I am so sad!!! He was delightful. I very much enjoyed reading his book Voice of a Exile. We lost a great thinker and a very brave man. Does anyone know of any other books by Dr. Nasr?

Indeed, There are plenty of books for Zaid in Arabic and there are three in English. One is the Voice of an Exile that you have read. There other two remarkable books of Zaid in English namely: Reformation of Islamic Thought and the outstanding: Rethinking the Quran. He has also published some of his finest works as Studies in English. I will be more than happy to provide you with alomost all his writings in English if you. Here is my email: altuwaiya@gmail.com
