Fadel
Soliman, managing
director of Bridges
Foundation has discovered the wonderful inspiring true
story of a young man named Knud
Holmboe who lived in the early 1900's. He was born in
Denmark and led an amazing life. He became a Muslim in his early
twenties and began his epic journey across the Middle East to
Libya where he lived and finally died. The actual details of his
life, his discoveries, his conclusions and his final stance
against the tyranny of the fascists in occupied Libya stands as
a model of the freedom of speech, the dignity, and strength of
those who stand firm on the message of Islam. Knud Holmboe's
autobiography is a must read for all Muslims, particularly the
youth, who stand in the wake of today's modern disguised tyranny
and learn from a noble and strong young man who lived long ago
how to defend truth and freedom with firmness, dignity, and
passion.
