Muslims, who have been part of the United States since it earliest days, have encountered new challenges in the 21st century. The terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and more recent events around the world have put American Muslims in a double bind where they feel targeted for their nationality as Americans and for their religion as Muslims. The guide answers common questions about the Islamic faith as well as culture, language, customs and politics."--From back cover.
