Dr. Brunswick addresses numerous day-to-day issues of life that American Muslims are faced with. In an effort to educate non-Muslim Americans about the Islamic culture governed by the Quran, (considered to be the Divinely inspired word of Allah), along with the Sunnah (sayings attributed to Muhammad by the Sahabiyeen, companions of the Prophet), Dr. Brunswick offers the reader a ready reference of Islamic jurisprudence, which influences many aspects of the American Muslim's life. Dr. Brunswick confronts the American Muslim with the stark reality that calls for a decision. Can an American Muslim truly be submissive to the dictates of Islam? Or does the American Muslim stand at "a cultural crossroads"? This is a book for our times. A no-holds-barred examination of an ancient religion's ability to function in a modern, free society.
