How to Fight Islamist Terror from the Missionary Position - Tapa blanda

How to Fight Islamist Terror from the Missionary Position tells the interlinked stories of three unforgettable men - the flamboyant Ravi, the fundamentalist Karim and the unnamed and pragmatic Pakistani narrator - whose trajectories cross in Denmark. When a 'terrorist attack' takes place in town, all three men find themselves embroiled in doubt, suspicion and, perhaps, danger. An acerbic commentary on the times, How to Fight Islamist Terror from the Missionary Position is also a bittersweet, spell-binding novel about love and life today.
