Haroon Moghul: “How To Be A Muslim”

Haroon Moghul is a Senior Fellow and Director of Development at the Center for Global Policy and the Muslim Leadership Initiative Facilitator at the Shalom Hartman Institute. Moghul has appeared on all major media networks, and his essays and reviews have been published at Washington Post,TIME, CNN, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, and Haaretz, among others. Moghul was selected one of 500 Muslim Global Leaders of Tomorrow, has been a Fellow at the Center on National Security at Fordham Law and with New America Foundation, has served as the Director of Public Relations at the Islamic Center at New York University, and is part of the Multicultural Audience Development Initiative at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Haroon Moghul was thrust into the spotlight after 9/11; becoming an undergraduate leader at New York University’s Islamic Center forced him into appearances everywhere: on TV, before interfaith audiences, in print. Moghul was becoming a prominent voice for American Muslims even as he struggled with his relationship to Islam. “How To Be A Muslim” reveals a young man coping with the crushing pressure of a world that fears Muslims, struggling with his faith and searching for intellectual forebears, and suffering the onset of bipolar disorder. It is the story of the second-generation immigrant, of what it’s like to lose oneself between cultures and how to pick up the pieces.
