| Summary: | This article examines how American Muslims' lives may be affected by legal decisions in the areas of religious freedom, employment discrimination, prisoners' rights and the cultural defence.

To establish some context, and to help interpret the substantive law in a meaningful way, it begins with a history of Muslim presence in North America. |
