From the editors of the groundbreaking anthology "Love, InshAllah" comes a provocative new exploration of the most intimate parts of Muslim men's lives.
Muslim men are stereotyped as either oversexed Casanovas willing to die for seventy-two virgins in heaven or controlling, big-bearded husbands ready to rampage at the hint of dishonor. The truth is, there are millions of Muslim men trying to figure out the complicated terrain of love, sex, and relationships just like any other American man.
In "Salaam, Love," Ayesha Mattu and Nura Maznavi provide a space for American Muslim men to speak openly about their romantic lives, offering frank, funny, and insightful glimpses into their hearts--and bedrooms. The twenty-two writers come from a broad spectrum of ethnic, racial, and religious perspectives--including orthodox, cultural, and secular Muslims--reflecting the strength and diversity of their faith community and of America.
By raising their voices to share stories of love and heartbreak, loyalty and betrayal, intimacy and insecurity, these Muslim men are leading the way for all men to recognize that being open and honest about their feelings is not only okay--it's intimately connected to their lives and critical to their happiness and well-being.

Davina was her name and she pleaded that I should not write this, that I should not expose her to the world. Apologies, sweet Davey, whose standard would I bear if your starlit eyes had not so pleaded. Those days are gone.

He paints a nude of his long-lost first love, Davina. But she's married to a senior cop now and he's not happy about this portrayal of his wife, naked. He sets a police unit the job of fixing Hugh. Bruised and battered, Hugh defies them all as he and Davina discover what they really mean to each other. Enter a whimsical world where romantic ideals meet sheer idiocy, featuring a biker called Midden, a tramp called The Shame, a gang leader called Slab and a stunning, gorgeous, redhead called The Stormer.

A total of 322 species of birds belonging to 190 genera, spread over 60 families and 17 orders were recorded in Himachal Pradesh. Intensive studies on residential status revealed that of a total of 322 species explored, 289 species showed short or long-range migrations and rest 33 were residents. Of 289 migrant species, 123 were altitudinal migrants, 72 were seasonal-local migrants, 61 were winter visitors, 28 were summer visitors, 4 species showed winter and 1 showed summer influx. Analyses of data on relative abundance showed that Himachal Pradesh is very rich in avifauna and acts as a home to 143 very common, 109 common, 47 uncommon and 23 rare species. Studies on avian diversity along the altitudinal gradient showed that there was a decrease in bird diversity with an increase in elevation. An insight into the bird diversity of the localities separated by altitudinal gradient revealed that the bird species present in one locality were replaced by another species in other localities. Based upon present studies it has been found that there are 11 globally threatened species of birds in Himachal Pradesh.
