In this book, Haddad and Lurrunis present a scientific analysis of the

A number of problems and issues are encountered by this minority: marriage,
divorce, interest, diet, pets, American holidays, and the roles of the
masque and the imam. The authors attempt to determine the existence of
correlations between such variables as length of time in the United States,
the extent of dining with non-Muslims, gender, country of origin, and the

Despite acknowledging the controversy surrounding the term "American
Islam," the authors conclude that this phenomenon does exist in more
than one form, depending on nationality, ethnic affiliation, level of
education, economic status, and other factors. The findings also show that
there are two dynamic, but opposing, scenarios occurring among Muslims
in the United States ...
