HUSEIN AMIN PUBLISHED THIS PLAY ON THE OCCASION OF THE 1987 ATTEMPT BY GUNMEN OF A MILITANT ISLAMIC ORGANIZATION TO ASSASSINATE IN CAIRO THE GOVERNMENT MINISTER HASAN ABU BASHA. HUSEIN AMIN'S WRITING ON ISLAMIC TOPICS NOT ONLY SHOWS HIS MASTERY OF THE ARABIC LANGUAGE BUT IS ALSO MARKED BY AN IMPRESSIVE USE OF ISLAMIC SOURCES, AND AN EXTRAORDINARILY ERUDITE DISCUSSION OF ISLAMIC LAW. HIS CRITIQUE OF THE MORE RECENT MILITANT ISLAMIC ORGANIZATIONS IS VERY MUCH IN ISLAMIC TERMS, BUT CHARACTERIZED BY AN OPEN CRITICAL APPROACH AND A STRICT RESPECT FOR THE TRUTH. HIS WORK, IN GENERAL, IS REFRESHING FOR ITS INTELLECTUAL INTEGRITY, AND ITS INVITATION OF OPEN, TOLERANT DEBATE.
