The Muslim Problem

“I can't recommend this sober, level-headed and highly readable book too highly. It painstakingly dismantles the poisonous myths about Muslims spread in the British media and on the far right. I read it at a sitting and learnt something new from every page.” ― Peter Oborne, author and journalist

“This is a remarkable, insightful, searingly honest book on how British Muslims live and feel and think, and how one can be a happy and fulfilled Muslim in a world so frequently defined by Islamicist extremists and racists. For me, a progressive Muslim, it was like finding an oasis of intelligence and truths, of hope and possibilities.” ― Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, author and journalist

“Timely, urgent and eloquent. An honest and well-researched exploration of how biases, stereotypes and prejudices affect identity both from within and outside the Muslim community.” ― Pragya Agarwal, author of Sway: Unravelling Unconscious Bias

“Powerful and disturbing. This deeply personal and forensically researched book exposes the stain of Islamophobia that has long festered in British society” ― Chris Atkins, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Bit of a Stretch

“A vital exploration of Islamophobia. I learned so much from reading this book. Tawseef Khan has given us an insightful, intelligent and intimate discussion of issues we all need to grapple with.” ― Jeffrey Boakye, author of Black, Listed

“A bracing and brilliant book. From women's rights to terrorism, The Muslim Problem takes apart misconceptions and shows what it's really like to be a Muslim today. By placing Islamophobia in a historical context, Khan gives powerful insights into one of the most hotly-contested and topical issues of our times.” ― Reza Aslan, author of No God But God

“Through an eclectic and powerful mix of personal memoir and first-hand reporting, Tawseef Khan shows the unique challenges faced by British Muslims as they seek to remedy decades of fear-baiting media narratives and government policy that have negatively impacted their communities.” ― Hussein Kesvani, journalist

“A vital and timely book for those who wish to engage more honestly with Muslims and for those Muslims struggling with their identity in 21st century Britain.” ― Tez Ilyas, comedian
