All-American: 45 American Men on Being Muslim
What image comes to mind when you think of American Muslim men? Do you think of attorneys, poets, gay men, transgendered men, scientists, actors, doctors, teachers, and writers? I was really surprised by the variety of American Muslims that appear in this book. I was hooked from the first sentence: "I was washing dishes in the kitchen when I stopped believing in God." Just like many occupations are represented, a variety of faith also appear. Some writers question the existence of God, some converted to Muslim, and some grew up Muslim. Appropriately titled, "All-American" will open readers eyes to American Muslims who have the variety of backgrounds, experiences, and faith that are seen in all Americans.
