آموزش اسلامی در ایالات متحده

he history of Islamic schools in America is complex. There are varying definitions of what an Islamic school is, should be, or should produce. There distinct Muslim communities with unique historical trajectories of being in America that have shaped their conceptions on the purpose of Islamic schooling. And, as a result, there exist today many types of schools that aspire for some semblance of an Islamic ethos. This chapter attempts to unpack these diversities and distinctions through a brief historical timeline of some American Muslim communities. Through the experiences of the Indigenous Black American Muslim to the South Asian and Arab Muslim Immigrant experience and finally from the lens of second generation and convert Muslims, this chapter outlines how each commuity conceptualized the need for Islamic schools uniquely.
