An American Muslim Preacher: Nuances of Islam in the West

As various Muslim communities continue to grow and to establish themselves in their non-Muslim majority societies, they are making tremendous inroads in almost all aspects of their individual and social lives. However, at the same time, Muslim communities continue to face numerous formidable challenges to their religious, spiritual, ethical, social/familial, and cultural developments. Young and old, men and women, all Muslims living in the West face daily difficulties concerning virtually every aspect of their lives. Particularly, during these crucial times, the religion of Islam is under a series of vilifications from a number of fronts. Thus, the significance of preaching Islam in a suitable manner to both Muslim and non-Muslim audiences cannot be underestimated. An American Muslim Preacher: Nuances of Islam in the West is an effort to provide a beneficial resource for Islamic preachers, educators, and communities in the West in their efforts to navigate the complexities of religious and social life.
