{"product_id":"9780349005935","title":"Laughing All the Way to the Mosque : The Misadventures of a Muslim Woman by Zarqa Nawaz","description":"Being a practicing Muslim in the West is sometimes challenging, sometimes rewarding and sometimes downright absurd.  How do you explain why Eid never falls on the same date each year; why it is that Halal butchers also sell teapots and alarm clocks; how do you make clear to the plumber that it's essential the toilet is installed within sitting-arm's reach of the tap?  Zarqa Nawaz has seen and done it all.    And it's not always easy to get things right with the community either: Zarqa tells of being asked to leave the DBW (Dead Body Washing) committee after making unsuitable remarks; of undertaking the momentous trip to Mecca with her husband, without the children, thinking (most incorrectly) that it will also be a nice time to have uninterrupted sex; of doing the unthinkable, and creating Little Mosque on the Prairie, a successful TV sitcom about that very (horrified, then proud) community.     You have to laugh.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56286464442741,"sku":"9780349005935","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780349005935.jpg?v=1762707097","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780349005935","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
