- Summary:
- "There are two sides to every story. You heard from Muslim women in the groundbreaking collection Love InshAllah: The Secret Love Lives of American Muslim Women - now hear from the men. If you believe the hype, Muslim men are either oversexed Casanovas willing to die for 72 virgins in heaven or controlling, big-bearded husbands ready to rampage at the hint of dishonor. The truth is, there are millions of Muslim men looking for the same thing as any red-blooded American man: life, liberty and the pursuit of pleasure. It's time to go beyond the headlines and "Beyond the Beard" for a provocative, insightful, funny and frank glimpse into the lives of Muslim men. And what could be more intriguing than a peek into their hearts - and bedrooms?"-- Provided by publisher.
