His friends came from many different backgrounds and religions--Trinidadian, Parsi, Goan, Hindu, Christian, Sikh. And as a hockey-playing, Crock-Pot-using young man who also knew the words to at least ten Blue Rodeo songs, he could blend in everywhere. But the world has a funny way of reminding you who you are, and Hassan's Muslim Pakistani family and community did, too. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this heartfelt and funny memoir, based on his hit stand-up comedy, Hassan shares his lifelong journey to becoming a \"cultural Muslim\"--learning to walk the line of embracing his heritage while following his passions and being true to himself. From failing to learn Arabic--or much of anything--in Sunday school and visiting family in Pakistan who mocked him relentlessly, to discovering the wonders of pepperoni as a teenager and being a celebrity judge at Ribfest, he finds himself in compromising situations that challenge his beliefs and identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, as a father of four, he has to answer his children's questions and try to explain his point of view. But he can't just \"give them\" an identity as a cultural Muslim.
