Ludovic Mohamed Zahed is an Imam and Koranic scholar. He is also gay. In this memoir, he explains the journey he has taken to be both the founder of a mosque in Paris and to be openly gay, after a troubled childhood in Algeria in poverty and living with an aggressive and often violent father. He explains how a journey to Mecca brought him back to a deeper understanding of his Muslim faith and how there is nothing in the Koran that condemns sexual, racial, gender or political diversity.
