Islam in America

Most Americans are only vaguely aware of the Muslim community in the United States and know little about the religion itself, despite Islam's increasing importance in international affairs and the rapid growth in the number of Americans who call themselves Muslims. This text introduces the basic tenets of the Muslim faith, surveys the history of Islam in America and profiles the lifestyles, religious practices, and worldviews of American Muslims.
