The desire to become a vibrant and positive force in the
American pluralistic fabric lies at the heart of Ahmed
Younis' examination of where we as a nation are in relation
to the world, and how key issues are shaping the reality of
'war' -- beyond stereotypes, beyond nationalism to a new and
brighter reality. At the heart of this analysis lies the
third (and largely overlooked) component of Islamic law --
"ijtihad," which mandates that Muslims exercise human
ingenuity in tackling current realities. "Voir Dire" offers
a fresh perspective of how we got here as a nation -- as
told from the perspective of a young American Muslim law
student rooted in American culture and Islamic values. Blending history, spirituality and activism, Younis provides
a thought-provoking study that calls for the cognitive
revival of American Muslims. "Voir Dire" serves as a
compelling wake-up call to American Muslims in particular
who are seeking to understand their reality and take
ownership over the future of their country.
