Biography: religious & spiritual; Islam; Islamic theology
What happens when traditional Islamic beliefs collide with modern American Muslim practices?

Is your local mosque truly following Islamic traditions, or has it fallen into religious innovation? When does cultural adaptation become religious corruption?
Written by a former Catholic Christian this powerful memoir chronicles an unexpected journey to Islam and the subsequent fight against religious innovations and heresies within American Muslim communities. His journey from being an enemy against Muslims to becoming a devoted defender of traditional prophetic Islamic teachings offers a unique lens through which to view the complex landscape of American Islam. The author's unique perspective allows him to critically examine practices that many born Muslims take for granted. From facing FBI harassment to correcting mosque leaders regarding their beliefs, his story reveals the complex challenges of protecting legitimate Islamic faith in modern America. The author's experiences in various mosques across Western New York and Canada provide a compelling critique of how American Islam often deviates from authentic prophetic teachings. His confrontations with religious authorities and his personal struggles offer valuable insights into the tensions between classical Islamic practices and modern adaptations.

This thought-provoking memoir serves as both a warning signal and a guide for Muslims navigating the complex landscape of American Islam. It provides crucial insights for anyone concerned about preserving authentic Islamic beliefs and practices in the modern world.
