Description
Blue-Eyed Devil: A Road Odyssey Through Islamic America by Michael Muhammad Knight. In this semi-autobiographical account, Michael Muhammad Knight embarks on a 20,000-mile journey across the United States, exploring the diverse and often contradictory landscape of American Islam. Along the way, he encounters a wide range of characters, from punk rockers to spiritual leaders, as he navigates his own relationship with the faith. Through his experiences, Knight sorts out his place within the Islamic community, witnessing firsthand the collapse of a liberal Islamic dream. With humor and insight, he recounts his adventures, including squats in run-down mosques, encounters with Muslim romance, and his own struggles to find his voice as a recognized figure in the community.
