Tarek Fatah (Urdu: طارق فتح) (born November 20, 1949), is a Canadian political activist, writer, and broadcaster. He is the author of Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State published by John Wiley & Sons. In the book Fatah challenges the notion that the establishment of an Islamic state is a necessary prerequisite to entering the state of Islam. He suggests that the idea of an Islamic state is merely a mirage that Muslims have been made to chase for over a millennium. Chasing a Mirage was shortlisted for the $35,000 Donner Prize for 2008–09.
Fatah's second book, titled The Jew Is Not My Enemy: Unveiling the Myths that Fuel Muslim Anti-Semitism, was published by McClelland & Stewart in October 2010. The book won the 2010 Annual Helen and Stan Vine Canadian Book Award in Politics and History.
In May 2009, Fatah joined CFRB 1010. Later that fall, he joined John Moore's morning show as a contributor. Currently, he hosts "The Tarek Fatah Show" on CFRB NewsTalk 1010' on Sundays.
You're only seventeen
Today or tomorrow
You expect a
Surprise
Full of erotic
The first that you can see
But you don't know
She's full of lies
When she passes you by
You believe that she's alright
Your eyes aren't
Seeing clear
When she can sign
She takes possession
You don't know
Her combat mission
Oh it's a dark fate - for you
Dark fate for you
Dark fate for you
Oh dark fate for you
Your fate is sealed
At that moment
When you meet her
Slow but sure
You feel so sad
You can't go back
You're only seventeen
Today or tomorrow
You expect a
Surprise
Full of erotic
The first that you can see
But you don't know
She's full of lies
When she passes you by

Your eyes aren't
Seeing clear
When she can sign
She takes possession
You don't know
Her combat mission
Oh it's a dark fate - for you
Dark fate for you
Dark fate for you
Oh dark fate for you
Your fate is sealed
At that moment
When you meet her
And slow but sure
You feel so sad
You can't go back
Slow but sure
You feel so sad
You can't go back
You're only seventeen
