- Title
Homeland Insecurity: How Immigrant Muslims Naturalize America in Islam.
- Authors
Bilici, Mucahit
- Abstract
There are approximately six million Muslims in the United States. They come from a great variety of backgrounds. Among the few things they have in common are Islam as a religion and their American experience. The latter produces some previously unencountered consequences, including the rise of English as the language of Muslim ummah (community) and the reality of being a “minority” in a non-Muslim society. The American experience also raises questions of citizenship, identity, and integration.
