Haroon Moghul Writes Candidly About Growing up Muslim

Haroon Moghul, a Pakistani-American writer and educator, has written an intimate memoir about growing up Muslim in America. “How to Be a Muslim” is a spiritual trial by fire of how this second-generation Muslim American came to embrace his identity amid the gale winds of 9/11.

Moghul, who is 36, writes candidly about his flirtation with atheism, the breakup of his marriage, his diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and his work facilitating dialogue between American Muslims and Jews.
