Faces of American Islam
This is a readable research work can be read both for Muslim and American (West for generally). It's an brief introduction about generally muslim who live in American, many was imigrant but a native as well. This brief concludes muslim American's world from its demography, its history of imigrant, religious practice, and also coverage of intra-muslim relationship and children. It is important for us to understanding each other, wether our history or our ideology. I hate people who judging before they thought, like Pramoedya Ananto Toer wrote in his Bumi Manusia, be fair since in your minds. It seems lovely to think open since now, don't you? Oh yeah, If you were not a muslim, and supposedly to know more deep, try to read Karen Armstrong work titled as Islam: A Short History. There's no reason to reject this option while she is also non-muslim, its book is a very kind of open-minded work. And, nice weekend to celebrate!Posted at August 23, 2002 06:02 PM | Perspective
