A country bordering Shariahland, or a method of preparing food?Do the Five Pillars of Islam comply with modern building codes?

The result is an entertaining andfascinating snapshot of Islam down under today.Praise for Sami Shah:’Humour at its most vigorous and unsparing’ – Kirkus Reviews’Stylish . . . newsy, bitingly funny’ – Sunday Telegraph’Raw, funny and inspiring’ – Wendy Harmer
