Islam: An American Religion demonstrates how Islam as formed in the
United States has become an American religion in a double
sense-first through the strategies of recognition adopted by
Muslims and second through the performance of Islam as a faith.
Nadia Marzouki investigates how Islam has become so contentious in
American politics. Focusing on the period from 2008 to 2013, she
revisits the uproar over the construction of mosques, legal
disputes around the prohibition of Islamic law, and the overseas
promotion of religious freedom. She argues that public
controversies over Islam in the United States primarily reflect the
American public's profound divisions and ambivalence toward freedom
of speech and the legitimacy of liberal secular democracy.
