In this funny and informative exploration of Islam in Australia, award-winning comedian and writer Sami Shah takes us behind the stereotypes and generalisations to discover who Australian Muslims are, how they live and what they think.

Along the way, we meet everyone from a woman who runs a 'speed date a Muslim night' to a conservative Islamic preacher and the founder of a group called Muslims for Progressive Values.

The result is an entertaining and fascinating snapshot of Islam down under today. (back cover)
