Red, White, and Muslim: My Story of Belief

I gave this book 5 stars not because I found it to be particularly revealing or unusual. Because this is my field of study, this book had actually little to offer to me. Individuals well-read in the study of Islam might find the author's explanations of certain practices and beliefs simplistic.

But it's a good book, and an important one. Non-Muslims interested in understanding more about Islam from a South Asian Muslim woman's perspective should certainly take a look at this book, which is a quick read. The author does not dumb down any of the concepts, but makes them relatable and readable. She also introduces passages from the Qur'an, which is something that many other books about Muslims in America lack.
