Summary/Abstract: Following the tragic events of the September 11, a myriad of symposiums, conferences and round tables have been organized with the purpose of shedding some light onto the position American Muslims now find themselves in, while making the rest of Americans more aware of their existence. As all those academic gatherings emphasized, the September 11 attacks not only committed violence against the United States and dealt a severe blow to the entire American society, but, were, at the same time, intended to stigmatize and isolate American Muslims from the rest of American society. It has been no secret that American Muslims are pro-active, well-off, pious and - what’s particularly interesting – the most diversified American community, made up of 60 different ethnic groups with a variety of races, colors, cultures and languages.
