How PTA meetings, Thanksgiving dinner, and Little League baseball can improve the image of Islam in America.
The Crescent Directive suggests that combating radicalism, developing personal connections with other Americans, and displaying visible investment in American culture, will prove to be a more effective long-term strategy than the traditional "open-dialogue" approach, which seeks to educate the ignorant and uninformed on Islam.
Reviews:
"The Crescent Directive provides a fresh new take on how to tackle negative perceptions of Islam in America...an approach all American Muslims should think about."
-Reza Aslan, author and founder of AslanMedia
"Dara’s argument is courageous...the message of The Crescent Directive is straightforward: there is nothing incompatible with Islam and America."
-Hamid Khan, Rule of Law advisor, United State Institute of Peace
