It is THE book. . . . Absolutely not to be missed.' - Matthew d'Ancona \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSarfraz Manzoor grew up in a working-class Pakistani Muslim family in Luton - where he was raised to believe that \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e were different, \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e had an alien culture and \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e would never accept him. \u003ci\u003eThey\u003c\/i\u003e were white people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn today's deeply divided Britain we are often told \u003ci\u003ethey \u003c\/i\u003eare different, \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e have a different culture and values and \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e will never accept this country. This time \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e are Muslims. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving together history, reportage and memoir, Sarfraz Manzoor journeys around Britain in search of the roots of this division - from the fear that Islam promotes violence, to the suspicion that Muslims wish to live segregated lives, to the belief that Islam is fundamentally misogynistic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHEY \u003c\/b\u003eis also Manzoor's search for a more positive future. We hear stories from Islamic history of a faith more tolerant and progressive than commonly assumed, and stories of hope from across the country which show how we might bridge the chasm of mutual mistrust. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHEY \u003c\/b\u003eis at once fiercely urgent, resolutely hopeful and profoundly personal.
