Photo Gallery: Windows of the Soul

For nearly 20 years, renowned photojournalist Alexandra Avakian has photographed Muslims around the world. In her travels, she's witnessed life, death, weddings, prayer, famine, and uprising. Her new book, Windows of the Soul, offers readers a unique and intimate view of the Muslim world with breathtaking images she often risked her life to get.
