Just Your Average Muslim by Zia Chaudhry
Too often we see Islam and Muslims portrayed as fanatical jihadists or helpless victims of western oppression. This fascinating and original book provides a rare insight into what, as the book's title states, the average Muslim makes of it all. A powerful antidote to common but exhausted stereotypes, it challenges non-Muslims to reexamine their perceived ideas of what they think they know and Muslims to to examine how they portray themselves to the world. It encourages us all to reflect on our similarities, not our differences.
A must read for anyone interested in or even concerned about Muslims in this country, and indeed the faith of Islam
Zia Chaudhry's family originally came from Pakistan, and he was brought up in Liverpool. After graduating from Manchester University, he was called to the bar in 1991.
