AVICENA - THE GREAT DOCTOR OF PERSIA

Samira Atash is an Afghan-American fashion designer but I have seen that she is a multi-talented woman who majored in history, sings well, is very familiar with Central Asian cultures and is very accurate about what she puts forward. She is also a great story teller whose style is lucid and entertaining. Her personal website is [samiraatash.com]

Here is an example of how she describes Avicena or Ibn Sina on whom a movie called "The Physician" was made.

Hope you'll like it.

There’s a wonderful book by S. Frederick Starr, “Lost Enlightenment,” that includes Avicenna as part of a larger history of Central Asia’s part in helping to shape a form of Islam very different from the type of doctrinaire fundamentalism Westerners think of today: liberal, open to questioning and varied interpretations, science-friendly and more. Also the story of the pushback of more conservative schools of thought, often based in older parts of the Muslim world which sought to maintain religious and political control of the growing faith, which eventually prevailed.
