Comments on Dr. Yahya Lecture – An Arab American Writer

From TINA, Chicago, Yesterday, at the auditorium of MSU, Dr. Yahya in his second public appearance after his rehab from a successful lever transplant, announced his press release to the audience attended his lecture, on the Prophet Muhammad’s life and wives. He left the best for the end which was a surprise for all. He offered his two scholarly academic dissertations’ copyrights for sale for economic and charitable reasons to help AIDS research.

Professor Yahya, is an Arab Muslim American scholar and philosopher, he authored over twenty five books and wrote hundreds of articles on society, politics, and psychology. He’s also published three short stories groups, and three poetry Diwans in Arabic and English. Dr. Yahya is a retired professor of sociology and religions.

In the press release after the lecture, Dr. Yahya announces that he offers the copyrights of his two dissertations for sale. Bid offers ends on October, 25, 2009. He’s planning to visit Makka for pilgrimage, if the sale was successful. However, no ceiling was given for the price. Estimators give the amount  between $100,000 to a half million Dollars. One estimator did not give her name, gives the amount of half million for each. For the question: What if some Arab Kings or Emirs like to own the two dissertations or sponsor publication? He answered with a smile: Then the two copies will be offered as a free gift for the King or Emir. He added: I know that ambassadors will convey the message of this press release to their governments if they knew about the offer. However, both copyrights belong to  the author. The offer will be posted on you-tube and twitter and other sites belong to the author and his friends. He launched his dryahytv lately as informational site to promote knowledge, understanding and cultural appreciation. His two dissertations, however may found on articlesbase.  (313 words)
