An American imam offers answers for today's toughest
questions about Islam, and a vision for a reconciliation
between Islam and the West. One of the pressing questions of our time is what went wrong
in the relationship between Muslims and the West. Continuing
global violence in the name of Islam reflects the deepest
fears by certain Muslim factions of Western political,
cultural, and economic encroachment. The solution to the
current antagonism requires finding common ground upon which
to build mutual respect and understanding. Who better to
offer such an analysis than an American imam, someone with a
foot in each world and the tools to examine the common roots
of both Western and Muslim cultures; someone to explain to
the non-Islamic West not just what went wrong with Islam,
but what's right with Islam. Focused on finding solutions, not on determining fault, this
is ultimately a hopeful, inspiring book. What's Right with
Islam systematically lays out the reasons for the current
dissonance between these cultures and offers a foundation
and plan for improved relations. Wide-ranging in scope,
What's Right with Islam elaborates in satisfying detail a
vision for a Muslim world that can eventually embrace its
own distinctive forms of democracy and capitalism, aspiring
to a new Cordoba - a time when Jews, Christians, Muslims,
and all other faith traditions will live together in peace
and prosperity.
