Esteemed scholar Dr. Amir Hussain, Professor of Theological Studies at Loyola Marymount University (Los Angeles), author of five books, and immediate past President of the American Academy of Religion (AAR) joins me for a lively discussion of the contemporary Muslim experience in North America. Despite the presence of Muslims arrived in the US in the first slave ships, the long history of participation in American society has gone unnoticed and unappreciated. Certainly, since the September 11 terrorist attack and now again with the war in Gaza, Muslims have been subject to harassment and Islamophobia. Many such acts of hate are motivated by inaccurate and misguided assumptions about Muslims, who they are and what they believe. The day-to-day life is not all bad nor is it the same in every place. Amir and I cover these and other topic in this engaging conversation.
Highlights:
· Diversity within American Islam, including ethnic and sectarian differences
· Cooperation and understanding between different religious groups in the U.S.
· Stereotypes within the Muslim and Jewish communities
· Coexistence, integration, and blending into society for minority communities
· Misperceptions about Islam and Muslims
· Importance of education in changing perceptions and the need for diverse Muslim representation
