The economic, social, political, military, and intellectual aspects of the Muslims' concern for history reveal the general structure of their perception of reality.

This study is a review of five sectarian movements in the 100-year history of Muslim religious development in the US. The groups are: the Druze, the Ahmadiyya Community of North America, the Moorish Science Temple of America, the Ansar Allah Community, and the United Submitters International.

There are now more Muslims in America than in Kuwait, Qatar, and Libya combined. Like all religious and ethnic minorities in America, Muslims are faced with a quandary of integration vs. assimilation. In this volume, distinguished scholars consider the issues that surround this dilemma and the responses of the Muslim community to them.
