Description:

Using the cities and cultures as a backdrop , the author (a British Muslim) travels on a personal journey to explore Iran and the Arab world, particularly the relations between East and West. Serious debate is interspersed with witty travel dialogue as he covers a variety of issues facing the Muslim world today-including the war on terror, the Arab-Israeli conflict, martyrdom, Islamic reformation, globalisation, identity, gender representations of women and the Western view of the Muslim world.

Reviews:
Aziz is friendly, funny and unassuming. [In the Land of the Ayatollahs] is an undeniably entertaining read -- a kind of politics lite.
The Arab Review, Issue 4, July/August 2008
"Part travelogue, part memoir, In the Land of the Ayatollahs is like no other book about the contemporary Muslim world. Both in style and substance, Aziz may one day be considered the V.S. Naipaul of his generation."  
Reza Aslan, author of No god but God: The Origins, Evolution and Future of Islam
"For many European and American Muslims, the broader Muslim world is a place viewed through the prism of family-weddings, visits to ancestral homes, or the lens of the global media. Aziz sets out to discover Islam in its original environs, and on his own terms. In doing so, he opens our eyes to a kaleidoscope of opinions, stories, impressions and much more. This is an absorbing read about Islam in the modern world from a writer with much promise."
Ehsan Masood, journalist and author of British Muslims
