  1. Hi Haroon,

    I saw a thread on LinkedIn where a friend of yours, Shahzad ul Haq, was asking people if they would be interested in reviewing your book, Vying for Allah’s Vote. Based on my own experience as a writer I recently started a free review service that might be able to help you obtain reviews and exposure to a large audience. If this is of interest to please check out the link below. Best wishes with your writing career.

  2. impressed by your presentation at Whitman College. Enjoying Bargain From the Bazaar. The message of shared humanity is powerful stuff that is consistent with my experiences in Kurdish villages and Afghanistan’s Rabia Balkhe Hospital. Best of luck Larry
