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.
