Out of Many Faiths
Out of many faiths
America is the most religiously devout country in the Western world and the most religiously diverse nation on the planet. In today's volatile climate of religious conflict, prejudice, and distrust, how do we affirm the principle that the American promise is deeply intertwined with how each of us engages with people of different faiths and beliefs? Eboo Patel, former faith adviser to Barack Obama and named one of America's best leaders by U.S. Ne…
Growing Up Muslim
"While 9/11 and its aftermath created a traumatic turning point for most of the writers in this book, it is telling that none of their essays begin with that moment. These young people were living, probing, and shifting their Muslim identities long before 9/11.... I've heard it said that the second generation never asks the first about its story, but nearly all the essays in this book include long, intimate portrayals of Muslim family life, often…
A Common Word vs. A Clash of Civilizations
The Common Word document sets out an alternative to the Clash of Civilizations by asserting that Christianity and Islam are both founded on love of God and love of neighbor, and that those values provide fertile ground for creating a common life together. A three-part strategy is necessary: separating religious pluralists from religious totalitarians; understanding your own faith's narrative of pluralism, and finding the same in other faith tradi…

College campuses have done much to engage issues of race, gender, and other important markers of identity. Religion has typically been left out of this conversation. It is a critical time for higher education to engage religious diversity seriously. The American campus is a u…

The Youth Programs of Religious Totalitarians
NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS AVAILABLE IN THE PRINT EDITION ONLY. At extremist training camps, religious totalitarians gain the trust of young people of faith and nurture relationships throughout their protégées' young adulthood. Such tactics have been used historically not only in Islam, but also by Judaism and Christianity. In such environments, the next generation of leaders learns from religious fanatics that violence, racism, and force are the most…
Affirming Identity, Achieving Pluralism
NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS AVAILABLE IN THE PRINT EDITION ONLY. Dialogue efforts that attempt to ignore religion or obscure religious identities are ultimately unhelpful; interfaith collaboration must begin with understanding and respect for the uniqueness of faith communities. Faith community members must learn to express how being a devout believer within their particular faith also makes them a good citizen and contributor to a collective society. …
Building the Interfaith Youth Movement
Violence committed by religious young people has become a regular feature of our daily news reports. What we hear less about are the growing numbers of religious young people from all faith backgrounds who are committed to interfaith understanding and cooperation. Building the Interfaith Youth Movement is the first book to describe this important phenomenon. Contributions include concrete descriptions of various interfaith youth projects across t…
