    Losing Their Religion: How to Grapple with Postmodernism - Ustadh Dr. Ali Ataie

    It is a clearly and thought provokingly written book by a former Professor from Cambridge university in England. He presents very clear arguments which he endeavours the reader to follow, the conclusion is mind blowing and is difficult to counter. He presents most of the important jigsaw pieces to give an accurate picture.

    This landmark work is startling, constantly perceptive and certain to be debated for years to come. A collection of essays on a wide range of topics, this book's content is best revealed by the topics covered in individual chapters: The last chapter typifies, even as it sums up, the book as a whole.

    Islam is set squarely within the dilemmas of an age when media and media images rule the popular imagination, and also direct the research agenda of many academics. From Stephen Hawking to Mick Jagger, from Khomeini to Madonna, the author introduces a collage of personalities that appear to clash with one another rather than cohere. The most sustained argument is about the problematic nature of the nation-state, its most compelling example is the opposition Muslim movement in Kashmir. The book will irritate many but it may also resonate with others. It is best recommended for advanced undergraduate or graduate students with a strong grasp of both Islam and that intellectual jouissance often glossed as postmodernism.
