  <description><![CDATA[Crucial to the vitality of any religious community is its ability to attract and engage descendants and converts. By this measure, notwithstanding the proliferation of mosques and Islamic organizations, the Muslim community in America is not doing at all well.&quot; This rather sober assessment motivates Dr. Lang to address, in this book, the alienation from the Mosque of the great majority of America's homegrown Muslims.   <p>In Losing My Religion: A Call For Help, the author comes to terms with many of the queries put to him by Americans of Muslim parentage and converts to Islam since the publication of his book Even Angels Ask in 1997. Lang asserts that to effectively respond to the general malaise of American-born Muslims, the Islamic establishment in America needs to be willing to listen to the doubts and complaints of the disaffected. This entails engaging in open discussions on issues with which many in the Muslim community will be uncomfortable, but Lang avers that such open dialogue will be of more benefit to young American Muslims struggling with their faiths than the covert and uniformed discussions that often take place or no discussion at all. For this reason, Lang feels it is important and beneficial &quot;to be candid and objective and not evade controversy, for to inadequately state the case for or against a specific position, especially when it challenges convention, only serves to fur! ther alienate the sceptical.&quot; In addition to examining questions of theodicy, hadith authenticity, and moot practices within the American Muslim community, the author includes many testimonials and inquiries that make this book informative.</p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[يبحث جيفري لانغ خلال هذا الكتاب في انسلاح الأكثرية الساحقة من السملمين الأميركيين الذين نشؤوا في الوطن عن المساجد ونفورهم منها. <br/><br/>يسوي المؤلف في كتابه هذا كثيراً من التساؤلات التي طرحها عليه أمريكيون من أبوين مسلمين، وأمريكيون اعتنقوا الإسلام منذ صدور كتابه &quot;حتى الملائكة تسأل&quot; عام 1994م. <br/><br/>ويؤكد أنه لا بد للمؤسسة في أمريكة، أن يكون لديها رغبة في الإصغاء إلى شكوك وشكاوى الساخطين على الإسلام وغير الموالين له. وهذا يستدعي الانخراط في مناقشات مفتوحة حول قضايا لا يرتاح لها كثيرون من أبناء الجالية الإسلامية، ويجزم أن الحوار المفتوح سيكون أجدى وأنفع للمسلمين الأمريكين الشباب الذين يتسارعون مع عقيدتهم، أكثر من المناقشات المغلقة والنمطية المألوفة، وأجدى كذلك من عدم إجراء هذه المناقشات أصلاً. <br/><br/>ولهذا السبب، يشعر أنه من المهم، بل من المفيد أن يكون المرء صريحاً وموضوعياً وألا يتحاشى الجدل بصورة غير ملائمة ولا وافية، خصوصاً عندما يكون الأمر متعلقاً بتحدي التقاليد والأعراف، لا يسفر إلا عن مزيد من إبعاد المرتابين وتنفيرهم. بالإضافة إلى ما أجراه المؤلف من تمحيص لقضايا الحكمة الإلهية من السماح بوجود الشر، وصحة الحديث النبوي الشريف، والممارسات التجريدية ضمن الجالية المسلمة الأمريكية، فقد ضمن كتابه شهادت وأدلة وتحقيقات واستقصاءات مما يجعل هذا الكتاب مفعماً بالثقافة.<br/><br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Crucial to the vitality of any religious community is its ability to attract and engage descendants and converts. By this measure, notwithstanding the proliferation of mosques and Islamic organizations, the Muslim community in America is not doing at all well.&quot; This rather sober assessment motivates Dr. Lang to address, in this book, the alienation from the Mosque of the great majority of America's homegrown Muslims.   <p>In Losing My Religion: A Call For Help, the author comes to terms with many of the queries put to him by Americans of Muslim parentage and converts to Islam since the publication of his book Even Angels Ask in 1997. Lang asserts that to effectively respond to the general malaise of American-born Muslims, the Islamic establishment in America needs to be willing to listen to the doubts and complaints of the disaffected. This entails engaging in open discussions on issues with which many in the Muslim community will be uncomfortable, but Lang avers that such open dialogue will be of more benefit to young American Muslims struggling with their faiths than the covert and uniformed discussions that often take place or no discussion at all. For this reason, Lang feels it is important and beneficial &quot;to be candid and objective and not evade controversy, for to inadequately state the case for or against a specific position, especially when it challenges convention, only serves to fur! ther alienate the sceptical.&quot; In addition to examining questions of theodicy, hadith authenticity, and moot practices within the American Muslim community, the author includes many testimonials and inquiries that make this book informative.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Crucial to the vitality of any religious community is its ability to attract and engage descendants and converts. By this measure, notwithstanding the proliferation of mosques and Islamic organizations, the Muslim community in America is not doing at all well.&quot; This rather sober assessment motivates Dr. Lang to address, in this book, the alienation from the Mosque of the great majority of America's homegrown Muslims.   <p>In Losing My Religion: A Call For Help, the author comes to terms with many of the queries put to him by Americans of Muslim parentage and converts to Islam since the publication of his book Even Angels Ask in 1997. Lang asserts that to effectively respond to the general malaise of American-born Muslims, the Islamic establishment in America needs to be willing to listen to the doubts and complaints of the disaffected. This entails engaging in open discussions on issues with which many in the Muslim community will be uncomfortable, but Lang avers that such open dialogue will be of more benefit to young American Muslims struggling with their faiths than the covert and uniformed discussions that often take place or no discussion at all. For this reason, Lang feels it is important and beneficial &quot;to be candid and objective and not evade controversy, for to inadequately state the case for or against a specific position, especially when it challenges convention, only serves to fur! ther alienate the sceptical.&quot; In addition to examining questions of theodicy, hadith authenticity, and moot practices within the American Muslim community, the author includes many testimonials and inquiries that make this book informative.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Crucial to the vitality of any religious community is its ability to attract and engage descendants and converts. By this measure, notwithstanding the proliferation of mosques and Islamic organizations, the Muslim community in America is not doing at all well.&quot; This rather sober assessment motivates Dr. Lang to address, in this book, the alienation from the Mosque of the great majority of America's homegrown Muslims.   <p>In Losing My Religion: A Call For Help, the author comes to terms with many of the queries put to him by Americans of Muslim parentage and converts to Islam since the publication of his book Even Angels Ask in 1997. Lang asserts that to effectively respond to the general malaise of American-born Muslims, the Islamic establishment in America needs to be willing to listen to the doubts and complaints of the disaffected. This entails engaging in open discussions on issues with which many in the Muslim community will be uncomfortable, but Lang avers that such open dialogue will be of more benefit to young American Muslims struggling with their faiths than the covert and uniformed discussions that often take place or no discussion at all. For this reason, Lang feels it is important and beneficial &quot;to be candid and objective and not evade controversy, for to inadequately state the case for or against a specific position, especially when it challenges convention, only serves to fur! ther alienate the sceptical.&quot; In addition to examining questions of theodicy, hadith authenticity, and moot practices within the American Muslim community, the author includes many testimonials and inquiries that make this book informative.</p>]]>
