The Reluctant Mullah by Sagheer Afzal

I found it to be a brilliant story, a unique insight into the British Pakistani culture of today. The characters were almost real like especially the ones representing British Pakistanis. There was a bit too much reference to the Holy Book for a Pakistani (from Pakistan) but I guess that is what most British Pakistanis must feel like. I loved the various one liners in the novel including the sad ending which was pretty apt. I predict one day this novel will be adopted as a movie or a TV drama simply because there are so few narratives on this subject out there.
Who are you, are you a Muslim?
No, I am not a Muslim, I am a Pakistani.
Get the message my Pakistani brothers and sisters?
