The Muslim Problem: Why We're Wrong About Islam and Why It Matters

Description

Why do we see Muslim men as inherently violent? Does the veil violate women's rights? Is Islam stopping Muslims from integrating? Across western societies Muslims are more misunderstood than any other minority. But what does it mean to believe in Islam today to have forged your beliefs and identity in the shadow of 9/11 and the War on Terror? Exploding stereotypes from both inside and outside the faith The Muslim Problem shows that while we may think we know all about Islam we are often wrong about even the most basic facts. Bold and provocative The Muslim Problem is both a wake-up call for non-believers and a passionate new framework for Muslims to navigate a world that is often set against them.
