Journey into Islam by Akbar Ahmed

Haunted by the specter of September 11, Ahmed brings a group of his American students on a trip into the heart of the Islamic world. They come face to face with people of all ranks, and they listen to what Muslims think about America, and about themselves, in a rapidly changing world.
Akbar Ahmed is the Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at the School of International Service, American University in Washington, D.C., and the former Pakistani High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland. He was described as the "world's leading authority on contemporary Islam" by the BBC. Among his many books are his quartet of studies examining the relationship between the West and Muslim world published by Brookings: Journey into Islam, Journey into America, The Thistle and the Drone, and Journey into Europe. He is also a published poet and playwright
