A distinguished panel of three speakers that makes a historical survey of the landscape of Islam in America. Hamza Yusuf looks at the various groupings of the immigrant/indigenous Muslim communities and the diversity and persuasions that exist within them. He also considers the fascinating and frightening aspects that the enormous growth of Islam presents for Muslims and non-Muslims in America. Hakim Archuletta elaborates on Hamza's comments with the hope that non-Muslims will better be able to interact and relate with Muslims they may meet. And Ruqaiyyah Maqsood closes out the panel by sharing her experience of the growth of Islam in England and how there is, indeed, a genuine interest in Islam amongst the natives in the U.K. as well. Other topics: Americanization of Muslim names, the Nation of Islam, the dar al Islam movement, and sufi orders.

"[The Muslim immigrants' children] are raised basically Americans in the sense that they're in schools being exposed to American culture, American ways of life... they're getting into a lot of the adolescent experimentation and this causes a real serious conflict within a lot of the immigrant families." -Hamza Yusuf "The number of indigenous Muslims has surpassed the number of immigrant Muslims... So it means we're at a kind of turning point. We're at a point now in which Islam is emerging out of the American society as an American phenomenon which it will continue to be." -Hakim Archuletta "What we're seeing, at long last, [are] the genuine teachings of Islam being made available to us in words that we can understand, because we've been very handicapped in the West. All the great texts of Islam that we would like to study have not been available to us and the translations that have gradually been trickling through have been horrendous." -Ruqaiyyah Maqsood
