Hard cover in fine condition with blue boards, red spine cloth, and silver gilt spine lettering. Red end papers. Text block clean & tight; no writings, no markings noted; appears unread. Dust jacket in likewise fine condition; not price clipped. * From the book, ""In the decade following the attacks of 9/11, suspicion and animosity toward American Muslims has increased rather than subsided. Alarmist, hateful rhetoric once relegated to the fringes of political discourse has now become frighteningly mainstream, with pundits and politicians routinely invoking the specter of Islam as a menacing, deeply anti-American force. . . . Patel asks us to share in his vision of a better America - a robustly pluralistic country in which our commonalities are more important than our differences, and in which difference enriches, rather than threatens, our religious traditions. . . .""
