		<description><![CDATA[Muslim teens, compared to most other teens, are facing some of their greatest challenges in modern times. They should use these to fortify their foundations through greater study of their religion and the principles it upholds.

		<description><![CDATA[Canadian teenagers who are devoted members of their Muslim faith are on the front lines of unpredictable change in this multicultural country, blending their families' 1,400-year-old religion with West Coast popular culture, with secular lifestyle possibilities they often find fun, but sometimes trivial and distasteful.]]></description>
