Story Behind The Book
I wanted to write another thriller but this time with some strong socialogical ideas embedded. All three of my main characters are scarred by their upbringing in totally different but equally disastrous ways.
As a result I have been interviewed on websites as far a way as Pakistan on the subjects of integrating into UK society and the dangerous radicalisation of Muslim youth.

On one level it is like sage advice to the young in a multicultural and multi-religious UK.I think every university-going Muslim teenager should have it as a recommended reading. </em></font><font color="#ff3300" size="2" face="Arial"><strong>Dil Nawaz-Pak Tea House</strong></font></div><br />
