Moving the Mountain: Beyond Ground Zero to a New Vision of Islam in America

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf

4.9/5 (18541 ratings)

Description:The “Ground Zero Imam” delivers an open and honest clarion call inviting readers to a deeper understanding of the role of moderate Muslims in America and in the world, triggering an entirely new conversation about Islam. Many know Imam Feisal as the man behind the so-called “Ground Zero Mosque,” an interfaith community center he is trying to build on the southern tip of Manhattan. He is the go-to talking head every time something happens in the Arab world or with regard to Islam in general—from the aftermath of 9/11 to Congressman King’s hearings, from the Arab spring to the death of bin Laden. More important, however, he is a man of faith and a proud American. With this book, he will finally give a voice to Muslims across the nation, expressing their beliefs and their hope for the future. As a moderate and modern Muslim, the Imam’s true beliefs are more liberal than conservative media would like us to think. For example, the Imam thought the death of Bin Laden marked a turning point for Muslims, opening room for alternate, moderate voices that are closer to the true nature of Islam. He argues that orthodox Islam supports equal rights for women, religious tolerance and dialogue, and insists on the relevance of Shariah for democracy in America and for the revolutions in the Middle East.Drawing on his personal experiences, the Imam speaks up on behalf of disenfranchised Muslims around the United States who are spiritual, moderate, and patriotic. A bold, well-argued book, Moving the Mountain will present a fresh perspective and provide a common ground for all Americans—Muslims and non-Muslims alike.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
