FPRI on Islam, Islamism, and Beyond

• Alan Luxenberg
• December 21, 2015

Islam has become the subject of heated debate in America. FPRI’s characteristic style is to stand back and scrutinize controversial subjects dispassionately, bringing to bear the insights of scholarship and making those insights accessible to the non-specialist. We provide below just a partial collection of links to FPRI essays on Islam and Islamism, along with links to audio or video files of FPRI events.
