It is suggested in the passage that although Barrett's book was published four years after its initial planning in 2003, ----.
Four years ago in 2003, when Paul Barrett first began
planning an ambitious book on Muslims in America,
who would have thought that the topic would still be
of such urgent interest by the time it was published
early this year? But, if anything, intervening events
have made Barrett's exploration of American Muslims
more timely and important than ever. With the United
States even more deeply embroiled in warfare in Iraq
and Afghanistan, with sectarian conflict exploding
within the Muslim world, with tensions high among
Muslim populations in Europe, and with relations
strained between some leaders of the Christian and
Islamic religions, readers need as much information
as they can get about Islam and its adherents. In his
book, Barrett notes that, despite being targets of
suspicion in the wake of the attacks of September 11,
Muslims in America, as a group, offer a perfect
illustration of old-fashioned American assimilation.
Overall, they are prosperous, well-educated,
politically active, and successful in business and the
professions.
