About this title

Synopsis

Timely and engaging, The American Muslim Teenager's Handbook conveys the basics of the fastest-growing, most stereotyped and misunderstood religion in America in a progressive, open-minded manner. By explaining Islam from a fresh perspective, it brings relevance, humor, and understanding to an audience in search of answers."It is a path-breaking and invaluable window into how some Muslim teens are coping with the challenges of growing up in the West. As such, it is a must-read for all who care about the future of Islam in the West." --Dr. Jeffrey Lang, author of Struggling to Surrender, Even Angels Ask, and Losing My Religion.
