Gives an account of a devoted Muslim who rejects western cultural imperialism without demonising us. And who questions and rejects the different cul-de-sacs that the Muslim community has gone down in that struggle. He wants an Islam that champions social justice and ethical practices for all and has a tolerance for its diversity.We follow his struggles over 30 years to find a spiritual path that allows for his goals. His failures reflect his bravery and courage. Have you questioned and championed similar values for your faith and political visions? He reminds me of the Christians associated with the sea of faith movement who attempt a similar transformation and meet similar reactions. See the below link for more information

An excellent spiritual autobiography by a British Muslim intellectual who gives a sharp, yet sympathetic critique of various Islamic groups and of the Western reaction to them. ( )
