Jews and Muslims make up less than 3% of the total population of the United States.
Yet, despite their relatively small numbers, the members of these two minority groups
often find themselves the focus of a disproportionate amount of media attention, particularly
when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Beyond such international issues,
American Jews and American Muslims find themselves struggling with similar inter-communal
concerns when it comes to matters like education (for example tensions between student
populations of Jews and Muslims on university campuses), politics (such as the swearing
in of the first Muslim Congressman in the House of Representatives, Keith Ellison,
or the omnipresent emails and robo-calls linking President Obama to the Muslim community
that emerged during the 2008 Presidential election), or even pop culture (think of
such recent Hollywood productions as Kingdom in Heaven, Munich, Paradise Now, and
Traitor, to name but a few). In all of these matters, American Jews and American Muslims
have consistently engaged each other in conversation - whether directly or indirectly;
constructive or not - in ways that have usually eluded their co-religionists throughout
the rest of the world. This has partly to do with America's ethos as a "melting pot"
of different religions, ethnicities, and cultures. But it also has to do with the
innovative ways in which Judaism and Islam have absorbed, and been radically altered,
by the so-called "American experience." This book is an exploration of contemporary
Jewish-Muslim relations in the United States and the distinct and often creative ways
in which these two communities interact with one another in the American context.
Each essay discusses a different episode from the recent twentieth and current twenty-first
century American milieu that links these two groups together. Some deal with case
examples of local inter-communal interaction, such as "dialogue groups," which can
help us better understand national trends of similar activities in other parts of
the country. Others focus on national trends themselves, thus giving us greater insights
into individual incidents. -- Publisher description
