This book demonstrates how race and religion intersect to create "The Racial Muslim". Comparing discrimination against immigrant Muslims with that of Jews, Catholics, Mormons, and African American Muslims during the twentieth century, the author explores the gap between America's aspiration for and fulfillment of religious freedom
Exploring the intricate relationship between race and religion, this book delves into the historical and legal frameworks that have shaped the perception of Muslims in America. It critiques the paradox of a nation committed to religious freedom while grappling with rising Islamophobia. By examining the racialization of Muslim identity alongside the legacy of white Protestant supremacy, the author provides a compelling analysis of how these dynamics perpetuate discrimination and challenge the ideals of equality and justice in contemporary society.
