By Feisal Abdul Rauf. 2004
One of the most pressing questions of our time is what went wrong in the relationship between Muslims and the…
West. Continuing global violence in the name of Islam reflects the deepest fears by certain Muslim factions of Western political, cultural, and economic encroachment. The solution requires finding common ground upon which to build mutual respect and understanding. Who better to offer such an analysis than an American Imam, someone with a foot in each world and the tools to examine the common roots of both Western and Muslim cultures; someone to explain to the non-Islamic West not just what went wrong with Islam, but What's Right with Islam. American Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's mosque was only twelve blocks from the World Trade Center when it was attacked on September 11. In the aftermath, finding a common ground between his country and his religion became a personal quest. He began by looking back to a time before such divisions, back to our common ancestor, Abraham. Jews, Christians, and Muslims all claim Abraham as their patriarch, and the ethic this forebear imparted is an ethic still shared by all three traditions. Imam Rauf skillfully traces the evolution of these foundational beliefs through the golden age of Islam in medieval Cordoba and Baghdad, as well as the development of democratic and capitalist principles in the West. In stark contrast to thinkers such as Samuel P. Huntington and Bernard Lewis, who suggest the crisis is in Islam itself, Imam Rauf argues that what went wrong is the relationship between the Muslim world and the West. He offers a basis for rebuilding that relationship by arguing that Islamic principles actually support the fundamental values of a pluralistic, free society, uncovering the promise of a Muslim form of democratic capitalism within the Qur'an, the stories and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, and Islamic Law. Focused on finding solutions, not on determining fault, this is ultimately a hopeful and inspiring book.Amazonia: Five Years at the Epicenter of the Dot.Com Juggernaut

'Speaking practically, exploring six different spiritual paths is not the fastest nor the simplest route to the essence of one's…
inner being. But taking an assortment of back-roads provided me with a variety of experiences and put me in contact with many women pursuing the same end: individual connection with God. ... Most impressively, each woman I met was able to move beyond the first and perhaps the greatest obstacle, doubt, and approach the endlessly demanding feat of keeping her desire and passion alive and in focus." From the introduction: In Memoirs of a Spiritual Outsider, Suzanne Clores leads us through her struggle to bring spirituality into her life. While hers is a personal quest, it also reflects that of a whole generation of young people who are cut off from spirituality yet long for it in some vague, unarticulated way. Out of college and in the workforce, Suzanne Clores identifies the longing she feels as a spiritual yearning, but like many of her peers she has a difficult time wholeheartedly embracing any religion. In this book, she presents a moving account of a pilgrimage across America that led her to a variety of religious traditions: Buddhism, Wicca, Yoga, Sufism, Shamanism, and Voodoo. Along the way, she encounters individuals who have embraced these "outsider" traditions, each of whom she follows, at least for a time, in hope of finding her own spiritual path. Cultivating a spiritual practice while living among hip, urbane Generation X-ers is "as unpopular as letter writing," she muses. Yet she perseveres, and her story, along with the stories of the people she meets, offers us a fascinating glimpse into the hearts and minds of the next generation of seekers who are looking for meaning in a secular world.
