Twenty-five-year-old Asma Hasan describes herself as "a Muslim feminist cowgirl." (she was raised in Puebo, Colorado.) Convinced that Muslim Americans are the "victims of mistaken identity" Hasan breaks through the stereotypes and generalizations to talk about the religion and the believers she knows from the inside.While the book provides a lot of basic information about Islam in America, the major emphasis is on the sheer normalcy of American Muslims.
