American Muslims

Asma Gull Hasan has provided a very thorough and coherence understanding of the Islamic beliefs in her book American Muslims: The New Generation. She has listed copious examples on the traditional beliefs of the Islams as well as her own experiences as an Islamic woman to allow readers to have a better understanding of this customary religion. The purpose of this book is to show the readers that American Muslims do not pose any threats …

…immediately. Hasan does a wonderful job on conveying me not to view Muslims as a threat to society and women wearing hijab are not oppressed or uneducated. If I have to do a research paper on Islam, I would definitely include this book under my references list. If my friend is interested in learning Islam, I will advocate her to read this book. Hasan's deliberation is very reflective to American society, especially for American Muslims.
