An Evening with Haroon Moghul, Author of "How to Be a Muslim"
In How to Be a Muslim: An American Story, Haroon Moghul, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Policy and the Muslim Leadership Initiative facilitator at the Shalom Hartman Institute, details his coming-of-age story as an American Muslim and his struggle to forge his identity as a second-generation immigrant in a post–9/11 world. Moghul documents the crushing pressures of living in a world that shuns and fears Muslims, as well as his own complicated relationship with Islam and his battles with bipolar disorder.
In describing his journey, Haroon Moghul states: "Where once I was caught in tensions between Muslimness and Westernness, Americanness and Pakistaniness, now I embraced these as complementarities . . . Islam was no longer a straightjacket into which I forced myself, not a nonnative language I learned from others around me, but a grammar through which I vowed to write my own stories."
