Exploring the diverse landscapes of Islam, Michael Muhammad Knight journeys through various Muslim countries, confronting the tensions between puritanical and folk traditions. His travels take him to significant holy sites in Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, and Ethiopia, where he grapples with the influences of Saudi globalization and local practices involving shrines, magic, and music. As an American Muslim, Knight intertwines his personal narrative with broader themes of reform and feminism, drawing from the rich tapestry of modern Islamic thought.
