This week on International Horizons, John Torpey, Director of the Ralph Bunche Institute, speaks with sociologists Mucahit Bilici and Samuel Heilman about their book, Following Similar Paths: What Jews and Muslims Can Learn From One Another (University of California Press, 2024). Bilici and Heilman explore how Judaism and Islam, as minority religions in the U.S., share common challenges and cultural adaptations. The discussion dives into topics like religious identity, multiculturalism, and the American experience, while also reflecting on the historical relationship between Jews and Muslims. Tune in to hear how these two groups navigate their religious lives in America and what lessons can be drawn for interfaith understanding today. Learn more about your ad choices.
