As the U.S. Muslim population continues to grow, Islamic schools
are springing up across the American landscape. Especially since
the events of 9/11, many have become concerned about what kind of
teaching is going on behind the walls of these schools, and whether
it might serve to foster the seditious purposes of Islamist
extremism. The essays collected in this volume look behind those
walls and discover both efforts to provide excellent instruction
following national educational standards and attempts to inculcate
Islamic values and protect students from what are seen as the
dangers of secularism and the compromising values of American
culture. Also considered here are other dimensions of American
Islamic education, including: new forms of institutions for youth
and college-age Muslims; home-schooling; the impact of educational
media on young children; and the kind of training being offered by
Muslim chaplains in universities, hospitals, prisons, and other
such settings. Finally the authors look at the ways in which
Muslims are rising to the task of educating the American public
about Islam in the face of increasing hostility and prejudice. This
timely volume is the first dedicated entirely to the neglected
topic of Islamic education.
