This Volume

It is estimated that American Muslims are now not only economically integrated into America, but that in fact the average American Muslim family earns a higher salary than the average American non-Muslim family.  This is in complete contrast with Europe where the vast majority of Muslims arrived, from the 1960s onward, as blue-collar workers.  There is also a considerable difference between how Muslims today live in Europe, and how they live in America.  Dr. Esposito’s lecture provides a profile of American Muslims, who have emerged as a small but considerable factor of US American elections
