Adolescent Call No: 297 ZAI Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: The United States is home to more than 3 million Muslims. Most demographers agree that Muslims are the fastest-growing religious group in the country. Yet many Americans still know comparatively little about Islam, which claims more than 1.6 billion adherents worldwide and which shares common roots with Judaism and Christianity. Muslims in America offers an in-depth and multifaceted look at the Muslim experience in the United States. In addition to summarizing the essential teachings and early history of Islam, this volume examines the past, present, and future of the American Muslim community, and explores how misunderstandings about Muslim beliefs can lead to discrimination and alienation from the larger US society.
