What Jerusalem Means to US: Muslim Perspectives and Reflections edited by Saliba Sarsar and Carole Monica C. Burnett

Jerusalem, viewed by many as the ultimate religious battleground, has itself always wanted to be a city of profound peace. Political regimes come and go, armies invade and then retreat, embassies are established and then relocated – but Jerusalem will abide in the human heart forever as central to culture, history, identity, and spirituality. This timely and unique volume contains 12 important essays by Palestinian Muslims of various geographic and professional backgrounds sharing their intimate experiences in and reflections on Jerusalem. Their contributions – genuine, learned, profound – faithfully address the Muslim stake in Jerusalem as well as its universal meaning.
