Making Moderate Islam: Sufism, Service, and the "Ground Zero Mosque" Controversy
Making Moderate Islam reveals the assumptions about race and gender, as well as the political and economic pressures that, beginning in the mid-twentieth century, have structured demands for religious minorities' "moderation" in the United States.

Freedom
ON A WARM April evening in 2008, I placed a call to Kuala Lumpur. It was the beginning of the Malaysian business day, but I had not called to speak with an economist or financial titan. I had called an imam. Feisal Abdul Rauf was not just any imam; he was one who made annual pilgrimages to the World Economic Forum in Davos and who had recently pledged to help protect global economies from the shocks induced by terrorist attacks.1 Since learning i…

For God and Country: Religious Minorities Striving for National Belonging through Community Service
This article examines how religious minorities (specifically, marginalized Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and Muslims) have participated in government-affiliated service programs as part of attempts to assert claims to faith in a common God, observance of common ethics, and belonging in a common body politic. Historians have described World War II as-thanks to the interreligious military-a time of enshrining "Judeo-Christian" narratives in culture…
Islamic “Fundamentalism”: The Mission Creep of an American Religious Metaphor
In this article I examine the work of the earliest scholars to identify “fun-damentalism ” among Muslims and highlight debates over the cross-cul-tural usefulness of the Protestant label. I focus on renowned orientalists who used the metaphor to describe the differences among Muslims long before American liberals popularized it by applying it to the Iranian Revolution. These scholars applied the term to Islam to justify a larger narrative about t…
Meta-data, same-sex marriage and the making of ‘terrorists’
This essay takes up Jasbir Puar's convincing contention that scholars who work to prevent some forms of violence render other forms of violence (against differently racialised, gendered, sexed, and class- and nation-marked populations) more likely. Complicity with the militarism, securitisation and secularism that make up the ‘strategies, and logistics of our contemporary war machines’, as Jasbir Puar describes it (2007. Terrorist Assemblages: Ho…
