      abstract = {"There are as many as six million Muslims in the United  States today. Islam (together with Christianity and  Judaism) is now an American faith, and the challenges  Muslims face as they reconcile their intense and demanding  faith with our chaotic and permissive society are  recognizable to all of us. This book takes readers into  Muslim homes, mosques, and private gatherings to introduce  a population of striking variety. An intricate mixture of  ideologies and cultures, American Muslims include  immigrants and native born, black and white converts, those  who are well integrated into the larger society and those  who are alienated and extreme in their political views.  Even as many American Muslims succeed in material terms and  enrich our society, Islam is enmeshed in controversy in the  United States, as thousands of American Muslims have been  investigated and interrogated in the wake of 9/11.--From  publisher description."--From source other than the Library  of Congress},
