Within the broad contours of Islamic traditions, Muslims are
enjoined to fast during the month of Ramadan, they are invited to a
disciplined practice of prayer, and they are offered the Quran as
the divine revelation in the most beautiful verbal form. But what
happens if Muslims choose not to fast, or give up prayer, or if the
Quran's beauty seems inaccessible? When Muslims do not take up the
path of piety, what happens to their relationships with more devout
Muslims who are neighbors, friends, and kin? Between Muslims
provides an ethnographic account of Iraqi Kurdish Muslims who turn
away from devotional piety yet remain intimately engaged with
Islamic traditions and with other Muslims. Andrew Bush offers a new
way to understand religious difference in Islam, rejecting simple
stereotypes about ethnic or sectarian identities. Integrating
textual analysis of poetry, sermons, and Islamic history into
accounts of everyday life in Iraqi Kurdistan, Between Muslims
illuminates the interplay of attraction and aversion to Islam among
ordinary Muslims.
