Democracy, Civic Virtue, and Islam: The Muslim-American Jihad Against Extremism

There is no greater struggle for Muslims than the fight for clear recognition of what Islam is and committed to. The Qur’an prescribes a basic, sacred commitment to the preservation of Life. Yet, among Muslims are groups which defile these teachings with horrific acts of violence against innocents while claiming to obey religious principles. These groups threaten all civilized notions of human society. This book introduces an American community of Muslims and their guiding Islamic principle of citizenship responsibility. It presents Islam’s true character and delivers a debilitating blow to schemes and ideologies of extremists.Earl Abdulmalik Mohammed has been a distinguished spokesman for Islam and Muslim affairs for a quarter of a century.
