"The book provides a lot of basic information about Islam in America - the major beliefs and practices, the different sects, and the great variety of ethnic groups from all over the world that practice Islam, including African Americans - it is also a personal story. In the affectionate and often humorous anecdotes about her family, Hasan depicts the sheer normalcy of American Muslims.
Like other Americans, they are very keen on family values, religious freedom, and the opportunities for educational and economic advancement that the United States has always afforded new immigrants. In sharp contrast are the generally negative, one-dimensional images of Muslims portrayed on television and in popular films, of which Hasan provides a painfully humorous critique.".
"Conscious of the ways in which Christianity and Judaism have adapted positively to the American experience, Hasan is convinced that American Islam, as it grows and evolves, will offer a model to Islam in the rest of the world: a purer Islam, one more conscious of the difference between the essence of Islam and its accommodations to various cultures over time."--BOOK JACKET.
