Political rhetoric and popular concern about the presence in the
United States, Canada, and Western Europe of immigrants from
predominantly-Muslim societies has remained largely detached from
the actual reality of the lives and the contributions of these
immigrants and their children. The studies presented here seek to
correct this ignorant reaction by presenting objective information
from schools that such immigrants have created and sustained. The
first looked at seven explicitly-Islamic secondary schools,
focusing on the formation of character and American citizenship,
while the other studied public charter schools established by
immigrants from Turkey, focusing on academic outcomes. Do
faith-based schools cause social divisions? Do their students fail
to become good citizens who can cooperate with those of other
faiths? This familiar accusation against Catholic, and more
recently against Evangelical, schools, is now directed against
Islamic schools in Western societies. The studies presented here
offer objective information from schools established by Muslim
immigrants across the United States, with reassuring results.
