The Quran and the American Dream

In the U.S., Islam is prospering as never before—but some Americans are beginning to fear the burgeoning power of that group, currently 8 million strong. This program traces the rapid expansion of Islam in New York City, where it sustains and brings hope to Muslim citizens, recent Muslim immigrants, and converts drawn primarily from the downtrodden sectors of society. The program also features the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which strives to root out legal injustices and dispel prejudicial stereotypes. The Reverend Jesse Jackson adds a powerful note of support for the newest addition to America’s religious mix. (53 minutes)
