"There has never been an America without Muslims"aso begins Amir
Hussain, one of the most important scholarsand teachersof Islam in
America. Hussain, who is himselfanAmerican Muslim, contends that
Muslims played an essential role in the creationand cultivationof
the United States. Memories of 9/11 and the riseofglobal
terrorismfuel concerns about American Muslims. The fear of American
Muslims in part stems from the stereotype that all followers of
Islam are violent extremists who want to overturn the American way
of life. Inherent to this stereotype is the popular misconception
that Islam is a new religion to America. In Muslims and the Making
of America Hussain directly addresses both of these stereotypes.
Far from undermining America, Islam and American Muslimshave been,
and continue to be, important threads in the fabric of American
life. Hussain chronicles the history of Islam in America to
underscore the valuable cultural influence of Muslims on American
life. He thenrivets attention on music, sports, and culture as key
areas in which Muslims have shaped and transformed American
identity. America, Hussain concludes, would not exist as it does
today without the essential contributions made by its Muslim
citizens.
