Islam is America’s fastest growing religion, with more than six million Muslims in the U.S., all living in the shadow of 9/11. Geneive Abdo’s research reveals a community tired of being judged by Americans’ misperceptions of Muslims and eager to tell their own stories. Abdo is the liaison for the Alliance of Civilizations at the United Nations and a member of The Chicago Council’s Task Force on American Muslims and U.S. Foreign Policy. She is a recognized authority on Islamic political movements. Her new book, MECCA AND MAIN STREET: MUSLIM LIFE IN AMERICA AFTER 9/11 will be available for purchase and signing at the program.
