Clarifies Many Misconceptions - A Great Read September 26, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I could not put this book down and managed to read it in two days despite being the mother of a newborn! I appreciate the author's clarifications of which practices are rooted in the Qur'an and which are merely cultural practices that have been mistakenly attributed to Islam. Once you understand that there is a difference, it's easy to see that an individual can successfully be both a Muslim and an American. This book is well-researched, but that doesn't mean it's boring. This book was a joy to read and I have already recommended it to many friends
So informative.... September 23, 2008

For an extremely informative, open, friendly, down-to-earth, real, heart-warming, fun journey into Islam and being Muslim in America, you MUST read The Muslim Next Door!
a must read on Islam September 23, 2008

There is a growing body of literature that aims to introduce Islam to Americans. Some of the best include Karen Armstrong's "Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet", Michael Sells' "Approaching the Qur'an: The early revelations", and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's "What's Right with Islam is What's Right With America." Sumbul Ali-Karamali's book is different from these other titles in that it written in an engaging style that feels like you are sitting down with the author over a cup of tea to talk about faith. Written out of her personal experience as an American Muslim woman, the author gets to the heart of the questions and concerns that many Americans have about Islam, a religion that is too little understood. This book goes along way in helping to bridge the gap of misunderstanding that exits in the minds of too many Americans about the religion of Islam.

...that an informative book about Islam can be funny? For once, its true. Reading this book made me chuckle while I learned about Islam and Muslims. Hard to put down!

This is an interesting and educational explanation of what it means to be Muslim. If you are ready to leave the media stereotypes behind and truly get insight into a world religion with billions of followers, this is the book to read. I highly recommend it. Growing up as a Muslim American, I can finally recommend a book that explains, with sensitivity and intelligence, to my friends that Islam is not a religion of hate and intolerance, but a religion of peace.
