Description
Summary:This article examines how American Muslims' lives may be affected by legal decisions in the areas of religious freedom, employment discrimination, prisoners' rights and the cultural defence. By looking at the experience of Muslims in the public sphere we can illustrate claims by second-generation Muslims and converts that their civil liberties are being infringed. To establish some context, and to help interpret the substantive law in a meaningful way, it begins with a history of Muslim presence in North America.
