Rafiq is writer and filmmaker Robert Sean Lewis. He wrote his first book, Gaj: The End of Religion (2004), to counter the idea of God or Allah as an individual who could take sides in the “war on terror.” His memoir, Days of Shock, Days of Wonder (2016), narrates his confrontation with the spiritual and cognitive dissonance of the 9/11 age.
