Summary:

THE MOSQUE IN MORGANTOWN follows one woman's campaign for change against extremism in her West Virginia mosque, throwing the community into turmoil and raising questions that cut to the heart of American Islam. When former Wall Street Journal journalist and single mother Asra Q. Nomani returns from working in Pakistan to her hometown mosque in Morgantown, West Virginia, she believes she sees signs of trouble: exclusion of women, intolerance toward non-believers, and suspicion of the West. She finds such signs particularly alarming and determined to halt the 'slippery slope' that she maintains leads from Islamic intolerance to violence, she begins a campaign to drag the mosque's practices into the 21st century, triggering a heated battle between tradition and modernity.
