This month, we expect to take delivery on the seventh guide in our Bias Busters series. This one answers 100 of the everyday questions that people ask about Muslim Americans. The questions were suggested by Muslims interviewed by students asked in a Michigan State University journalism class called Bias Busters.
This guide takes some steps forward for the series.
* It is our first to deal specifically with religion. While every guide so far has answered question about religion, this one deals specifically with a faith group. We plan to do that again.
* The guide has Stephanie Fenton’s extensive calendar of Islamic holidays, a great, hard-to-find resource.
* A foreword by John L. Esposito and a preface by Mohammad Hassan Khalil, scholars who know the subject inside and out.
* Student Cody Harrell’s excellent graphics, our best set so far. I can’t wait to see what they look like in the digital guide.
As usual, the guide is available in print and digital formats.
