Rutgers Professor Pens Book Of Poerty On Islam In The 21st Century
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A professor at Rutgers University in Camden has penned a new book of poetry that addresses faith, love, politics and Islam in the 21st Century.
Dr. Rafey Habib, professor of English at Rutgers University Camden, reads his poem, To a Suicide Bomber, from his book of poetry, "Shades of Islam, Poems for a New Century":
"I wrote this poem to express the vision of a moderate Muslim because we don't want our religion represented by people who commit any kind of atrocities in the name of Islam."
Dr. Habib says it's important that people get a different version of what Muslims are than what is heard and seen in mass media.
