    [NT 15000229]: This book is a unique collection of alternative Muslim voices, predominantly from Europe, whocome from a variety backgrounds - academia, theology, acting, activism - and who make a transformational contribution to the debate of the future of Islam and Muslims in the West. They are a selection, representing the silent majority voices many in the Westso desperately want to hear.Contributors are based in a variety of European and American cities, mainly in areas where there are large numberof Muslim immigrant populations. Some discuss theological issues, while others talk about their personal struggles of being a Muslim in a non-Muslim setting and hearing conflicting messages about how one is supposed to behave as a "true Muslim." They come from different ethnicities and different social and academic backgrounds.
