'Timely and important' THE TIMES 'Considered and nuanced ... A
must-read' The Rt Hon. Sajid Javid MP 'Compelling and moving' Tom
Holland, author of Dominion __________________ Islam is the
fastest-growing faith community in Britain. Domes and minarets are
redefining the skylines of towns and cities as mosques become an
increasingly prominent feature. Yet while Britain has prided itself
on being a global home of cosmopolitanism and modern civilisation,
its deep-rooted relationship with Islam - unique in history - is
complex, threatened by rising hostility and hatred, intolerance and
ignorance. There is much media debate about embracing diversity in
our communities, but what does integration look like on the ground,
in places like Dewsbury, Glasgow, Belfast and London? How are
Muslims, young and old, reconciling progressive values - of gender
equality, individualism, the rule of law and free speech - with
literalist interpretations of their faith? And how is this tension,
away from the public gaze, unfolding inside mosques today? Ed
Husain takes his search for answers into the heart of Britain's
Muslim communities. Travelling the length and breadth of the
country, Husain joins men and women in their prayers,
conversations, meals, plans, pains, joys, triumphs and adversities.
He tells their stories here in an open and honest account that
brings the daily reality of British Muslim life sharply into focus
- a struggle of identity and belonging, caught between tradition
and modernity, East and West, revelation and reason.
