“Asma Hasan will rock your stereotypes about Islam in this refreshing book. Here is a young woman who embraces Islam, modernity, America, her family, and her friends — all with enthusiasm and commitment. She sees no contradictions between them and, after you have read this book, neither will you.” — Fareed Zakaria, Editor, Newsweek International, and Author of The Future of Freedom “A warm, witty, wonderful story about what it means to be both Muslim and American in a post-9/11 world. This is a book that every American should read.” — Reza Aslan, author No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam and How to Win a Cosmic War: God, Globalization, and the End of the War on Terror “Hasan makes for a disarming spokeswoman.” — USA Today “Hasan”s writing is a useful beacon for American Muslims who may be struggling to articulate their identities as both Americans and Muslims.” — Religion News Service “In her last lively book, Asma Hasan called herself a ”Muslim feminist cowgirl” — referring to her years in Pueblo, Colorado. In this follow-up work that mixes autobiography with feisty insights into Islam and the many misconceptions people have about it, the author demonstrates the spiritual practice of enthusiasm…” — Spirituality & Health “Hasan”s version of Islam would have appealed to America”s founders with its advocacy of human equality, religious tolerance, property rights and self-improvement. It harmonizes just as well with 21st-century America”s spiritual inclinations…This is do-it-yourself American religion at its most appealing.” — Publishers Weekly “With insight, integrity, passion, and eloquence Hasan shares her personal journey as a proud American Muslim and in doing so breaks our stereotypes, melts our fears, nurtures our hopes, and enlightens our minds and hearts.” — Rabbi Irwin Kula. author of Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life “With passion and humor and wisdom, Asma Hasan compellingly explains why the seeming contradictions of her life as a traditional Muslim and a modern American are no contradiction at all.

Esposito, professor, Georgetown University and author of What Everyone Needs to Know About Islam “Honest, disarmingly open, and sparkling with the author”s radiance and intelligence, Red, White, and Muslim opens a window to a world of faith, reason, and questioning that is distinctively American and Muslim at the same time.” — Noah Feldman, Bemis Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and author of Fall and Rise of the Islamic State “A refreshing book showing Islam through the eyes of a bright Muslim woman in America. Asma is sincere in expressing her own vision with eloquence, integrity, and passion for her beliefs.” — Dr. Maher Hathout, senior advisor to the Muslim Public Affairs Council and Interfaith Alliance Board of Directors member “Asma passionately shares with us her personal story and through her compelling voice, the reader connects to a convincing universal Muslim story of belief.” — Ranya Idliby, coauthor of The Faith Club “Americans looking for a strong, moderate Muslim voice that publicly condemns terrorism and the second-class status of women should consider it done…” — Publishers Weekly “Hasan offers here another much-needed voice from Islam, one that is clear, rational and profoundly American.” — Kansas City Star, A refreshing book showing Islam through the eyes of a bright Muslim woman in America.

Synopsis
For Asma Hasan, being a Muslim is not merely a matter of birth, but also of choice and faith. Based on her understanding of the Qur’an and her upbringing as an American Muslim, she presents a vision of Islam that is ethnically diverse, tolerant of others, and supportive of the rights of women. Hasan, a journalist and lawyer, argues that Islam is not a misogynistic, oppressive belief system, as it has often been portrayed, but rather a faith tradition that has as many varied interpretations as Christianity. Part memoir and part cultural analysis, Red, White, and Muslim looks at the side of Islam that is left out of the daily news.Asma Gull Hasan was born in Chicago to Pakistani immigrant parents and grew up in Colorado. As a Glamour magazine blogger, a contributor to the New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Denver Post and the author of the acclaimed book American Muslims, she has become internationally recognized as an articulate and persuasive Islamic American voice. Hasan is a frequent guest on national cable news networks, including Fox News and MSNBC. She is in demand around the world as a speaker on a variety of topics. She is a graduate of Wellesley College and the New York University School of Law.”Asma Hasan will rock your stereotypes about Islam in this refreshing book. Here is a young woman who embraces Islam, modernity, America, her family, and her friends – all with enthusiasm and commitment. She sees no contradictions between them and, after you have read this book, neither will you.”- Fareed Zakaria, Editor, Newsweek International, and author of The Future of Freedom, An Inspiring Account of One Woman’s Journey to Reclaim Her Spiritual and Cultural Identity For Asma Hasan, being a Muslim is not merely a matter of birth, but a matter of choice and faith. Hasan’s personal relationship with her religion was, and continues to be, a defining element of her life, and through her writing she inspires a new understanding and appreciation of a frequently misunderstood tradition. This is her American story.
