520 1 $a"Muslims in the United States and Canada have long been misunderstood by many members of the public and misrepresented by the media. The North American Muslim Resource Guide: Muslim Community Life in the United States and Canada identifies Muslim communities in North America and provides a synthesis of the Muslim values and institutions in the two countries.
520 8 $aIt presents a balanced view of the history of Islam on the continent through discussion of topics such as immigration and population, organizations, religious influence and practices, economics, education, and many other cultural issues.".
520 8 $a"A timely antidote to the heated climate concerning Muslim communities in the United States and Canada since September 11, 2001, the book dispels the myths of Muslims as outsiders by showing them as loyal citizens and equal partners in building a better future. It also illustrates that the aims of Muslims in North America are no different from those of the rest of the population as a whole.".
520 8 $a"In addition to providing material on the Muslim experience in North America, the guide contains an extensive directory of schools, mosques, and other organizations. The directory is listed alphabetically by state for the United States and by province for Canada, and it gives contact information for the various institutions. There is also a reference list of print and electronic resources for further study."--BOOK JACKET.
