The cover of her book.
Today I am featuring a speech given at Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters by Sumbul Ali-Karamali, a Stanford-educated mom and corporate lawyer with degrees in Islamic law and English.
From YouTube's Authurs@Google channel:
You’re not alone if you’ve ever wondered what Muslims really believe and practice! Fortunately, in her new book, The Muslim Next Door: the Qur’an, the Media, and that Veil Thing, author Sumbul Ali-Karamali, a Stanford-educated mom and corporate lawyer with degrees in Islamic law and English, invites you inside for a candid, witty, and surprisingly down-to-earth conversation about Muslim life in America.
Warm, funny, and yet scholarly, The Muslim Next Door: the Qur’an, the Media, and that Veil Thing reliably answers questions about Islam from an American Muslim woman’s point of view, discussing subjects from the basic (is Allah different from God?) to the complex (does jihad not mean holy war?) to the borderline ridiculous (”what do you mean you can’t go to the prom because of your religion?!”). This is a book you’ll want to share!”
