Among the Mosques

Islam is the fastest-growing faith community in Britain. Domes and minarets are redefining the skylines of towns and cities as mosques become an increasingly prominent feature. Yet while Britain has prided itself on being a global home of cosmopolitanism and modern civilisation, its deep-rooted relationship with Islam - unique in history - is complex, threatened by rising hostility and hatred, intolerance and ignorance.

Ed Husain brings the daily reality of British Muslim life sharply into focus as he travels the length and breadth of the country and joins men and women in their prayers, conversations, meals, plans, pains, joys, triumphs and adversities.
