• catalog abstract ""Although Islam and integration are frequently seen as antithetical concepts in much of Europe, in the USA the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent are an example of a population who have succeeded. This is in great measures due to their high levels of education and economic success, which make them one of the most prosperous minorities in America." "Now brought into sharp focus by the events of September 11, 2001 in New York, this study examines the regrouping of the religious community and the reinvention of group identity in first and second-generation immigrants. By transplanting many of their institutions to the US (particularly in New York), Muslim immigrants succeeded in establishing their presence in the American landscape without arousing significant concern in the host community." "This study emphasizes that in spite of the stereotypes attached to Islam - which are as loaded in America as in Europe, and periodically incite reactions from the Muslims - the religion of Islam can actually play a stabilizing role in the same way that other minority religions (notably Catholicism and Judaism and more recently Hinduism) have done, and that Islam does not seem to compromise the ability of immigrants to participate in American society."--Jacket.".
