FINALIST, RELIGION NEWS ASSOCIATION “EXCELLENCE IN RELIGION REPORTING” BOOK AWARD

Donald Trump’s weaponisation of Islamophobia in his first campaign for U.S. president shocked the world. Yet his promise to end the Gaza war rallied many American Muslims to his side in the 2024 election. Here, acclaimed journalist Lawrence Pintak argues that Trump is a symptom of America’s fractious and contradictory relationship with Islam that stretches back centuries.

Featuring unique interviews with victims and perpetrators of Trump's policies, as well as analysis of the media's role in inflaming debate, America & Islam provides a complete guide to the twin challenges of terrorism and the polarising rhetoric that fuels it, sketching out a future based on co-operation and the reassertion of democratic values.
