HI 336 - Islam in North America and Western Europe Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0 Credit Hours: 3
Islam is believed to be growing faster than any religion in the United States today, and is the second largest religion in Europe. This methodologically intensive course examines the past and contemporary history of Muslims in the West, including the emergence and development of Muslim communities and institutions, Islamic devotional life and education, the impact of Muslims’ immigration from the Middle East and Africa, and the process of their integration into Western societies. Looking beyond mutually hostile stereotyping between Islam and the West is one of the objectives of the class. Note: Region: United States or Europe, but not both. Methodologically intensive. Prerequisite(s): HI 200 with a minimum grade of C.
