The Muslim Problem: Why We're Wrong About Islam and Why It Matters

A vital exploration of Islamophobia and its impact on Muslim identity in the West.

Why are Muslim men portrayed as inherently violent? Does the veil violate women's rights? Is Islam stopping Muslims from integrating? Across Western societies, Muslims are more misunderstood than any other minority. Tawseef Khan explodes stereotypes from both inside and outside the faith, showing that while we may think we know all about Islam, we are often wrong about even the most basic facts.
