Overview
A quarter of a century after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, a thick shroud of controversy, misconceptions and polarisation surround Islam and Muslims.
The Alternative Guide to Islam penetrates the distorting fog of confusion, misinformation and disinformation to provide an honest, humorous, true-to-life picture of Islam and Muslims. Written by an Arab-European atheist who was raised a Muslim, this timely book explores some of the most heated issues related to Islam, such as gender, the clash of civilisations and religious reform.
The book also takes a mind-expanding journey down the unexplored back roads of Islamic history, society, culture and politics to offer a new and refreshing perspective that goes far beyond the tiresome and stale mainstream debates. You will encounter Muslim girl power, the sexy side of Islam, meet boozing Muslims penning odes to wine, see Islamic fashion icons strutting their stuff, and get familiar with a rainbow-coloured parade of homoerotic poets, unbelievers, sceptics and freethinkers.
