On a Heart Turned East

This book is really good in the first half, where the author emphasizes Eastern Europe and Islamic history in Europe (whether it be the Balkans or Iberia), but he seems to lose his way a bit when interviewing Muslims in western Europe and the United States. This may be because it seems a bit dated, even though it was only written twenty years ago. This may be due to the rapidly shifting political and social culture of Islam in Europe in the 21st century. It’s surely not a bad book, but there are surely better things to read.
