Text in Arabic. A thought-provoking account of modern western muslim life written by one of the most respected scholars of Islamic thought today. Tariq Ramadan is a leading Muslim scholar and an outspoken public figure. This combination has made him a controversial figure, characterized by both sides of the spectrum as either too liberal or too radical. In an attempt to set the record straight, Ramadan lays out his beliefs, speaking directly to Muslim and non-Muslim readers alike. Ramadan deals with deeply emotional and divisive issues surrounding perceptions of Islam and those who practice it, particularly in Europe and the West in general. Using clear and accessible prose, Ramadan changes the narrative of immigration, religion and redicalism into one about human dignity, multiculturalism and social justice.
