Williams* Loyola University Chicago Downloaded from socrel.oxfordjournals.org I begin with the premise that there is an American Islam being created—a version of the faith that aligns with the contemporary United States both organizationally and culturally. This faith formation is connected to the immigration of Muslims to the United States since the 1965 changes in immigration laws, even though Muslims have been in the United States, especially among African Americans, much longer than that. Two sets of social forces are creating this at Loyola University Chicago on June 1, 2011 American Islam: the lived religious practices of the second and third generations of these post- 1965 families; and the imposed images of Islam and institutional constraints of civil society coming from major social institutions and native-born Americans.

Brianne Goodman Carter The Strength of Muslim American Couples in the Face of Heightened Discrimination from September 11th and The Iraq War ABSTRACT This exploratory study examined how Muslim American couples are psychologically and relationally impacted by heightened discrimination in the wake of September 11th and The Iraq War. Utilizing interviews with six Muslim American couples who have been married for at least six years (through September 11th and The Iraq War), the study identified that religious discrimination against Muslim Americans is experienced as pervasive and endemic—existing at multiple levels: attitudinal, interpersonal, structural, institutional, and systemic. The study found that in response to (rather than in spite of) religious discrimination, Muslim American couples exhibit increased resiliency and strength through the tenets of their faith (particularly, the primacy placed on marital union), their shared faith practice, and the resource of their religious communities.

    Cultural & social affairs Department OIC islamophobia Observatory Monthly Bulletin – March 2013 I. Manifestations of Islamophobia: 1. France: Mosque in Alsace is sent letter containing ham – The Collectif contre l’Islamophobie en France reported that a mosque at Mulhouse, in Alsace, was the victim of an Islamophobic act earlier in the last week of February 2013. Exactly as happened at Meximieux in the previous month, officials at the place of worship were mailed an envelope containing ham. The CCIF added that, as was also the case with the Meximieux mosque, this was not the first time that the Mulhouse mosque had been targeted in an act of hatred. About a year ago more than 70 nails were found along the front of the building where worshippers usually park their cars. When Daoui Hanafi, president of the mosque, attempted to file a complaint, the police refused to register it and only agreed to record a statement. In this latest incident, on collecting the post from the mosque’s mailbox Mr Hanafi found a yellow envelope, stamped and addressed to the As-Salam mosque. Inside was a plastic bag containing the pork. This time, he was able to file a complaint with the police. At Meximeux, by contrast, in identical circumstances, the police argued that no offence had been committed and refused to register a complaint. In addition to being the target of repeated attacks, and both receiving a letter containing pork, there was a third common feature that connected these two mosques, namely that they had faced the reluctance of the authorities to take threats to their places of worship seriously.
