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. 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. 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. 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. Losing My Religion -- A Call For Help -- Where Have All The Children Gone? -- To The Homegrown American Sisters And Brothers Jeffrey Lang. Includes Index. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
