| Zusammenfassung: | American mosques are divided by moderate and conservative approaches in understanding Islam. The US Mosque Survey 2020 demonstrates that mosques that follow the moderate approach are significantly more involved in American society than the conservative approach. However, conservative mosques are just as involved as congregations of other faith traditions, indicating that conservative mosques are not adopting an isolationist or rejectionist view of involvement in American society. This conclusion is confirmed by the statistics demonstrating that the moderate and conservative approaches virtually unanimously endorse civic and political involvement. American mosques have accommodated themselves well in the American environment. |
