Interfaith Dialogue in Lebanon
This essay explores trends and directions of interfaith dialogue in Lebanon with a special focus on developments since the Ta'if Agreement (1989) signed at the end of the civil war. While viewing the encounters of interfaith dialogue in Lebanon against the background of political and social developments, the particular focus of this study is the ventures and potential of “inter-theological dialogue.” In particular, it explores the new initiatives…
The Oxford Handbook of American Islam
This Handbook offers an up-to-the-minute analysis of Islam in America by 30 of the best scholars in the field. It covers the initial growth of Islam in the US from the earliest arrivals through the beginnings of African American Islam, as well as the waves of pre- and post-WWII immigrants when Muslims had little sense of religious identity in relation to their American compatriots. Providing basic information about Sunni, Shi‘ite, sectarian and S…
Islamic Organizations in the United States
The status and strategies of the Islamic organizations in the United States have been dramatically changed by 9/11. The ethnic, social, and cultural diversity of these organizations has been eclipsed by the perception of the “Muslim enemy” and therefore obliged past and new leaders to adjust to the political consequences of the War on Terror and the rise of Islamophobia.
Imams and Chaplains as American Religious Professionals
The following analysis examines the trends and challenges that have come to define American Muslim religious leadership over the past forty years. By concentrating on personal narratives and institutional expectations of imams and chaplains, the objective is to present a picture of the new and evolving understanding of these leaders in the United States. Conceptually, this entails reimagining religious leadership and adapting the distinct but dee…
American Muslim Youth Movements
Organizations catering to Muslim youth in the United States have proliferated in the last several decades, offering a wide range of services and activities to an increasingly diverse number of Muslim Americans. While Muslim “youth movements” in the United States continue to grow in range and size, this chapter specifically focuses on major established Muslim organizations, such as the Muslim Students Association, that serve youth in America. . It…
Volunteerism among American Immigrant Muslims
Inspired by their faith, recent Muslim immigrants have evolved in their practice of and approach to volunteerism. While the “return” mindset of the 1960s and 1970s limited the scope and reach of their service primarily to that which was inward-looking, the achievements with regard to community and organizational development were nonetheless remarkable. The spirits of service and sacrifice internalized by Muslims of that era have not been witnesse…
Muslim–Christian Relations in the United States
In the United States today, it would be dangerous to attempt to understand Muslim-Christian relations as simply positive or negative or even to characterize trends in dialogue and relationships as being polarized. This chapter examines the current context of Muslim-Christian dialogue in the United States; explores the intersection of the US domestic context and the global context to demonstrate that each impacts the other in contexts of Muslim-Ch…
Islam in American Prisons
This chapter explores the gradual legitimization of the beliefs and practices of Islam in US prisons, analyzing the factors that led to the pronounced shift from “Black Muslim” to Sunni Islam over a fifty-five-year period (mid-1950s‒2010). An understanding of the history of prison Islam offers insights into the motivation of black Americans to embrace Islam and the reasons why correctional staff and the general public are suspicious of incarcerat…
Muslim Immigration to America
Muslim immigration to America has a protracted history dating back to the first coerced West and North Africans brought on ships as part of the slave trade. Yet, the notion of Muslims as a distinguishable or coherent group arose only in the aftermath of 9/11. The Muslims of the post-9/11 era are defined as fairly recent immigrants from Southeast Asia and the Arab world. Scholarship since 9/11 has implicitly accepted this categorization, whether t…
Post-9/11
This article explores several key events in the last 12 years that led to periods of heightened suspicion about Islam and Muslims in the United States. It provides a brief overview of the rise of anti-Muslim and anti-Islam sentiment known as "Islamophobia", and it investigates claims that American Muslims cannot be trusted to be loyal to the United States because of their religion. This research examines American Muslim perspectives on national s…
Good Copt, Bad Copt
This study analyses the relationship between the Coptic community in the United States and Egyptian Copts regarding the status of Coptic citizenship in the Egyptian state. The conception of citizenship for the Coptic Christian minority has been debated since the formation of the modern nation-state and has acquired greater relevance after the revolution that brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power. One primary narrative of citizenship is promoted…
Muslims, Human Rights, and Women's Rights
This chapter analyzes Muslim responses to Western discourse on human rights and women's rights in Muslim societies, with a particular emphasis on the enduring legacy of colonialism and its effects. It first examines debates about the role of women among Muslim scholars, moving from secular modernizers to their opponents among traditionalists and to a new generation of Islamic feminists. It then traces the status of women in postindependence Musli…
The Anti‐Christ and the End of Time in Christian and Muslim Eschatological Literature
The Quest for ‘A Common Word’
To a world experiencing heightened suspicion and distrust between Christians and Muslims, a call for dialogue and understanding between the two faiths may seem a welcome event. Such a call was issued in October of 2007 when 138 Muslims from around the world sent an invitation to Christian leaders to cease their mutual fear and diatribe, find some measure of theological common ground, and work together for world peace. What motivated such an initi…
Taming the Imams
The bombings in Madrid (2004) and London (2005) and the murder of the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004 alerted European governments to their susceptibility to terrorism perpetrated by unassimilated Muslim immigrants. Whether they had pursued multicultural immigration policies or regulated their immigrant communities closely, European countries began adopting stricter measures in the attempt to contain—if not transform—'radical' Islam. There …

The Post-9/11 Hijab as Icon
This study argues that the process of re-Islamization has accelerated in the aftermath of 9/11 as an increasing number of adolescents and young adults (daughters of immigrant Muslims) are assuming a public Islamic identity by wearing the hijab (headscarf). Drawing on two decades of research on American Muslim communities and in-depth interviews with American Muslim youth, this study finds that the hijab has become a symbol of an American Islamic …
Muslim Women in America
The treatment and role of women is one of the most discussed and controversial aspects of Islam. In this volume, three scholars of Islam survey the situation of women in Islam, focusing on how Muslim views about and experiences of gender are changing in the Western diaspora. It offers an overview of the teachings of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad on gender, analyzes the ways in which the West has historically viewed Muslim women, and examine…
Women Embracing Islam
The October Riots in France
In October 2005, the predominately Arab‐immigrant suburbs of Paris, Lyon, Lille and other French cities erupted in riots by socially alienated teenagers, many of them second‐ or third‐generation immigrants. For many French observers, it was a painful reminder that France's immigration policy had, quite bluntly, failed. The grand French ideal of égalité , the equality of all citizens of the Republic, itself a by‐product of France's colonial past, …
The Study of Women in Islam and the West
This bibliography sets out to explore the topics that Muslim women in the West reflected on and researched as they joined the institutions of higher learning and began to have an input in the creation of knowledge. It also attempts to gather the available information about the experiences of Muslim women and surveys the available literature in English on Muslim women living in the West. While Muslim women have been professionally active in many f…

Islamic Law and the Challenges of Modernity
Since Europeans first colonized Arab lands in the 19th century, they have been pressing to have the area's indigenous laws and legal systems accord with Western models. Although most Arab states now have national codes of law that reflect Western influence, fierce internal struggles continue over how to interpret Islamic law, particularly in the areas of gender and family. From different geographical and ideological points across the contemporary…

Islamist depictions of Christianity in the twentieth century
Muslim perception of Christianity has been coloured by references to Jesus and Christianity in the Qur'an and by the great range of historical encounters between members of the two traditions over fourteen centuries. In response to colonialism and Christian missionary activity in Muslim countries, Muslim modernists depicted Christianity as a religion of the sword and cast Islam as a superior system noted for its moderate and pluralistic vision.

The presence of Muslims in the West has posed a challenge to the self-assured populations of Europe.

An Exegesis of Sura Ninety-Eight
The themes of Sura Ninety Eight in themselves contain little that had not been heard before by the companions of the Prophet. Dating from the Medinan period it seems to have served as a kind of summary statement of earlier teachings. It contains an indictment of Medinan Jews and Christians who rejected the bayyina of the Prophet, the clear evidence on the basis of which man chooses obedience or rejection of God. The consequence of such rejection,…

Presidential Address 1990 Middle East Area Studies
Several MESA Members met in October to organize a two-week summer institute for high school teachers on the general subject of teaching about Islam and the Arab world. Having determined the overall topics to be addressed, we decided to leave one session open to deal with whatever might be “The Crisis of the Day.” Someone asked, “But what if there isn’t a crisis?” Such a possibility seemed quite unthinkable to most of us. “I’m sure there will be s…
