Ramy is a closeted university student whose parents have died, and who lives under the close scrutiny of his strict brother and sister-in-law. They exert pressure on him to find a wife, leaving him anguished and struggling to find a balance between his sexuality, religion, and culture. Desperate for counsel, he seeks the advice of Ammar, a sheikh at a local mosque, whose tolerance is challenged by the contradictions between Ramy's dilemma and the teachings of the Qur'an, leading him to question his own belief system.\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlternating between quiet moments of beauty and raw depictions of violence, \u003ci\u003eGod in Pink\u003c\/i\u003e poignantly captures the anguish and the fortitude of gay Muslims in Iraq.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hasan Namir (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":44733307519269,"sku":"9781551526065","price":15.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7851\/4725\/products\/BNCImageAPI_20b1e37f-5480-458f-8efd-8bc94f1d5c6a.jpg?v=1679346951","url":"https:\/\/crossandcrows.myshopify.com\/products\/god-in-pink","provider":"Cross \u0026 Crows Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
