The Formation of a New Approach to the Study of Muslim Community in the United States in the Beginning of the XXIst Century
The article analyzes the new approach to the study of the American Muslim Community and its organizational structure, which has begun taking shape since terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It has been developed and disseminated mainly by public research organizations. The main elements of the new approach as well as its source data are under investigation in the article. The author of the paper came to the conclusion that insufficient analysis of the source data drawn from the declassified by American intelligence service archive of the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as political preconception of some research centers reduce the objectivity of the new approach in the field of American Islamic Studies.
