| Abstract | Former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Nomani returns to her hometown in West Virginia and fights for social change within the local mosque. She sees signs of trouble: exclusion of women, intolerance toward non-believers, and suspicion of the West. She begins a campaign to drag the mosque's practices into the 21st century, triggering a heated battle between tradition and modernity. |
