Description :
I AM A BRITISH MUSLIM is a timely publication that is concise and
straight-forward. The book commences with the history of Islam in Great
Britain as well as the highly significant era of Muslim Spain that has
lasting effects on the modern world. It then broadly highlights the code
of British citizenship and then comprehensively examines the rights and
responsibilities of British Muslims in light of the teachings of Islam.
Covering the themes of neighbours, civic participation, social
cohesion, conduct towards others as well as duties towards the children,
it also provides food for thought relating to Islamophobia,
anti-Islamic hate, media and security for person and property.
The
author has also provided sound reasoning and refutations of the popular
criticism and allegations made against the religion of Islam. Written in
the author's unique and to-the-point style, the book is an essential
read for Muslims and non-Muslims living in the Western world.
