Ageh hameh mesleh to boodan keh moshkelee nadaashteem

I saw this book in a bookstore and I found it interesting for it presents a look of Islam from the point of view of a modern girl. She refers to Sufism and our Persian poet Hafiz. Synopsis: Why I am a Muslim is an attempt to grapple with these issues. Part memoir, part polemic, it represents the side of Islam that is left out of the daily newspapers. For Hasan, being a Muslim is not merely a matter of birth, but it is a matter of choice. In seven chapters, she presents seven reasons why she is committed to Islam and why it is a viable spiritual option for anyone.
