"New York Masjid: Mosques of New York" took root on February 26, 1993 in the midst of an urban crisis: the World Trade Center bombing. But ultimately more destructive to the city at that time were the tidal waves of toxic and reductive one-line headlines that followed in the written and televised media: "Muslim Terrorist," leaving a kind of easy, familiar code name for terror. To counteract this stereotype, scholar Jerrilynn D.

Mr. Grazda's penetrating black-and-white photographs and Ms. Dodd's insightful commentaries reveal the range of the city's Islamic houses of worship and their ethnic congregations...." --"The New York Times"
