Non-Fiction

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.
