French Muslim philosopher and thinker, Professor Roger Garaudy
Compiled By: Syed Ali Shahbaz
On July 17, 1913 AD, French Muslim philosopher and thinker, Professor Roger Garaudy, was born in Marseilles. He had PhDs in philosophy, literature, mysticism, and culture and civilizations. During the German occupation of France in World War 2, he was locked up in Labour camps for three years from 1940 to 1943 for activities against Fascism and Nazism. For 36 years he was a senior member of the French Communist Party, before his conversion to Islam as a result of the impact on Europe of the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
His courage in exposing the Zionists and their evil made him a target of the enemies of humanity. The publication of his book: “The Case of Israel: A Study of Political Zionism” led to his trial, and his other book: “The Founding Myths of Modern Israel” once again infuriated the Zionists. Garaudy was tried in France for exposing the myth of the Holocaust. He wrote several books, including “Promesses de I’Islam”. Professor Garaudy passed away on June 13, 2012 at the age of 99 years.
