"The New Crusades is an intersectional milestone. It lucidly
illustrates how converging systems of subordination, power, and
violence related to Islamophobia are experienced across the
globe."—Kimberlé Crenshaw, from the foreword The first
book to examine global Islamophobia from a legal and ground-up
perspective, from renowned public intellectual Khaled A.
Beydoun. Â Islamophobia has spiraled into a global menace,
and democratic and authoritarian regimes alike have deployed it as
a strategy to persecute their Muslim populations. With this book,
Khaled A. Beydoun details how the American War on Terror has
facilitated and intensified the network of anti-Muslim campaigns
unfolding across the world. The New Crusades is the first
book of its kind, offering a critical and intimate examination of
global Islamophobia and its manifestations in Europe, Asia, the
Middle East, and regions beyond and in between. Through trenchant
analysis and direct testimony from Muslims on the ground, Beydoun
interrogates how Islamophobia acts as a unifying global thread of
state and social bigotry, instigating both liberal and right-wing
hate-mongering. Whether imposed by way of hijab bans in France,
state-sponsored hate speech and violence in India, or the network
of concentration camps in China, Islamophobia unravels into
distinct systems of demonization and oppression across the
post-9/11 geopolitical landscape. Lucid and poignant, The New
Crusades reveals that Islamophobia is not only a worldwide
phenomenon—it stands as one of the world's last bastions of
acceptable hate.
On Forbes list of "10 Books To Help You Foster A More Diverse And
Inclusive Workplace" How law, policy, and official state rhetoric
have fueled the resurgence of Islamophobia-with a call to action on
how to combat it. "I remember the four words that repeatedly
scrolled across my mind after the first plane crashed into the
World Trade Center in New York City. 'Please don't be Muslims,
please don't be Muslims.' The four words I whispered to myself on
9/11 reverberated through the mind of every Muslim American that
day and every day after.... Our fear, and the collective breath or
brace for the hateful backlash that ensued, symbolize the
existential tightrope that defines Muslim American identity today."
The term "Islamophobia" may be fairly new, but irrational fear and
hatred of Islam and Muslims is anything but. Though many speak of
Islamophobia's roots in racism, have we considered how anti-Muslim
rhetoric is rooted in our legal system? Using his unique lens as a
critical race theorist and law professor, Khaled A. Beydoun
captures the many ways in which law, policy, and official state
rhetoric have fueled the frightening resurgence of Islamophobia in
the United States. Beydoun charts its long and terrible history,
from the plight of enslaved African Muslims in the antebellum South
and the laws prohibiting Muslim immigrants from becoming citizens
to the ways the war on terror assigns blame for any terrorist act
to Islam and the myriad trials Muslim Americans face in the Trump
era. He passionately argues that by failing to frame Islamophobia
as a system of bigotry endorsed and emboldened by law and carried
out by government actors, U.S. society ignores the injury it
inflicts on both Muslims and non-Muslims. Through the stories of
Muslim Americans who have experienced Islamophobia across various
racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines, Beydoun shares how U.S.
laws shatter lives, whether directly or inadvertently. And with an
eye toward benefiting society as a whole, he recommends ways for
Muslim Americans and their allies to build coalitions with other
groups. Like no book before it, American Islamophobia offers a
robust and genuine portrait of Muslim America then and now.

At first glance, the study of Islamic finance will likely conjure
up imagery of bustling banking centers in Damascus, Baghdad or
Cairo circa the apex of the Islamic Empire. However, the salience
of Shari'ah -based banking institutions and practices has become
increasingly relevant, both within and outside the bounds of the
Muslim world. Today, "Islamic finance" and its range of financial
products are part of the business dealings in New York City,
Toronto, and London. Muslims living in the West have begun using
Islamic finance in connection with purchases of real and personal
property. The embryonic stages of an Islamic finance domestic
market, catering specifically to Americans is, well underway in the
United States. With the increase of the aggregate Muslim population
in the United States, demographic and economic trends support the
emergence of Islamic finance in the United States. Taking out a
mortgage that is compliant with Islam (hereinafter Shari'ah
Compliant Mortgages, or "SCM's"), naturally, is the most common
service these Muslim Americans will demand of their banks.
