This booklet is a basic introduction to the worldview of Muslim peoples as manifested in their religion and culture. It is designed primarily for service providers and others assisting Muslim refugees in their new communities in the United States. This guide differs from the others in the Cultural Orientation Resource (COR) Center series. Each of the previously published guides has focused on a population of a specific national origin: Afghans, Bosnians, Cubans, Haitians, Somalis, Iraqi Kurds, Iraqis, Montagnards and Somali Bantus. This guide, by contrast, focuses on people from many parts of the world who are distinguished by their adherence to Islam. This guide therefore seeks to address the multifaceted situations that result from the combination of a shared belief system and a diversity of cultural backgrounds. (Description from Source)
