This is a timely collection of essays, articles, lectures and short stories that have been written during the Bush years, a time of political uncertainty for British Muslims, between 2001 and 2010. They cover the themes of integration, community cohesion, terrorism, radicalization, cultural difference, multiculturalism, identity politics and more.
Atif Imtiaz responds to the predicament of being a Muslim in modern Britain. Beginning with a raw and unedited response to the terrorist attack of 9/11 an ending with Obama's election, these pieces cover the numerous facets of the debate that surrounds British Muslims today. The book sets out a narrative for these years and a response that argues that British Muslims should move away from identity politics towards Islamic humanism.

S.M. Atif Imtiaz: Atif Imtiaz has been involved with Islamic organizations since the late 1980's. He graduated from the City University in psychology and then completed a doctoral thesis at the London School of Economics in social psychology. He has studied Muslim identity politics and has been actively involved in grassroots initiatives. He was an advisor to the Government after the 7/7 terror attacks and continues to advise politicians and policy makers. He also runs a blog called Bradford Muslim.
