Islamic Values in the United States

"A very fine, brief study that will help give our students further insight into the remarkable diversity of religious values and practices in America. Its clear presentation and diverse methodology--statistics are well supplemented by interview data--make it an ideal introductory undergraduate text."--Bradford Verter, Princeton University "I especially like the diverse discussion of Islamic values in the U.S. at a level in which undergraduates can enter, appreciate, and use in their class work. It has expanded my course content and my students' source materials for the study of Islam."--John A. Grim, Bucknell University "For anyone who wants to understand the concerns, problems, practices, and establishment of Islam in the United States, this book is crucial....Provides a good beginning for understanding the flavor of Islam in this country and the issues that Muslims deal with."--Missions Tomorrow "Makes for fascinating and at times astonishing reading."--Crescent "This comprehensive study helps to remind us that America is a land of Christians, Jews, and Muslims....There are copious and important data here on issues and indices of assimilation in a multireligious and multiethnic society: the book is suggestive of hypotheses and useful as a sort of data bank."--Contemporary Sociology "Much needed....Stands alone in its depth and vigor of analysis and its objective treatment of a very important but hitherto neglected dimension of Islamic studies."--Nadar Entessar, Spring Hill College "A valuable study of religious developments of very contemporary salience. Packed with information."--R. Stephen Warner, University of Illinois, Chicago "Very useful....Nobody has ever done this before as far as I know. Very revealing."--B.G. Martin, Indiana University, Bloomington "Highly recommended for coursework and all persons interested in the effects of immigration and/or modernization on religious beliefs, values, and practices."--Religious Studies Review
