Young British Muslims: Identity, Culture, Politics and the Media
In Britain's highly politicised social climate in the aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings, this book provides an in-depth understanding of British Muslim identity. Nahid Kabir has carried out over 200 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with young Muslims in five British cities: London, Leicester, Bradford, Leeds and Cardiff. By emphasising the importance of biculturalism, Kabir conveys a realistic and hopeful vision for their successful integration into British society.

biased book... Write adds PBUH after the name of Mohammed. Also clear is a lack of understanding of how Islamic jurisprudence works.
