Reviews for Finding Mecca in America: How Islam Is Becoming an American Religion
"A work of considerable originality. Mucahit Bilici offers a well-crafted and insightful analysis of the complex process of integration that Muslim immigrants have faced in the United States since 9/11. Bilici's look at Islam as a religion in the American system is rich and rewarding." (Jose Casanova, Georgetown University)"
