What the West Can Learn from Islam
Ramadan, Tariq
Chronicle of Higher Education, v53 n24 pB6 Feb 2007
In this article, the author talks about the situation of Muslims in Western countries such as the United States. Here, the author talks about his experience wherein his visa was being revoked in late July 2004. The reason is that he made donations totaling approximately $900 to a Swiss Palestinian-support group that is now on the American blacklist and that the group had ties with Hamas. He points out that American society, like all Western societies has changed. The diversity of its population has produced a diversity of political views with which we must come to terms, particularly with regard to the Middle East and to relations with the countries that have an Islamic majority. Millions of Western citizens of the Muslim faith have brought a new outlook toward the world and toward Western policy. He revisits Islamic scriptural sources in order to share his views on how Muslims can live their lives in the West.
