   Abstract = {The Cambridge Companion to American Islam offers a scholarly
             overview of the state of research on American Muslims and
             American Islam. The book presents the reader with a
             comprehensive discussion of the debates, challenges, and
             opportunities that American Muslims have faced through
             centuries of American history. This volume also covers the
             creative ways in which American Muslims have responded to
             the myriad serious challenges that they have faced and
             continue to face in constructing a religious praxis and
             complex identities that are grounded in both a universal
             tradition and the particularities of their local contexts.
             The book introduces the reader to some of the many facets of
             the lives of American Muslims that can only be understood in
             their interactions with Islam's entanglement in the American
             experiment.},

   Abstract = {The conversation about where American Muslims fit into the
             larger fabric of American society far predates the election
             of Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency in 2008. To
             critically assess the anxiety over American Muslims as part
             of a historical chronology and continuum, we should start
             with the ratification of the United States Constitution. The
             date was July 30, 1788. The site was North Carolina, and the
             occasion was the convention to ratify the proposed U.S.
             Constitution. The speaker on this occasion was a certain
             William Lancaster, who was a staunch Anti-Federalist.
             Lancaster spoke of what would happen not if, but when, a few
             centuries down the road a Muslim would be elected to the
             highest office in the land, the presidency of the United
             States of America. But let us remember that we form a
             government for millions not yet in existence. I have not the
             art of divination. In the course of four or five hundred
             years, I do not know how it will work. This is most certain,
             that Papists may occupy that chair, and Mahometans may take
             it. I see nothing against it. “Mahometan” was the common
             designation for Muslims back then, now considered
             derogatory, and was derived from the also obsolete and
             equally offensive “Muhammadan.” In 1788 there were no
             Muslim Americans running for the office of the president. As
             far as we know, there were not even any Muslim citizens of
             the newly formed American republic – though there were
             thousands of slaves from Africa in America who came from
             Muslim backgrounds. As legal scholars have noted, the
             putative conversation about a Muslim president was a fear
             tactic used by Anti-Federalists to put pressure on
             Federalists. In other words, the conversation about where
             Muslims fit into the fabric of the American politic was one
             that was concomitant with the passage of the U.S.
             Constitution.},
