The first WorkingGroup metover2002–2003, inaneffort toassess thevarieties ofMuslimpoliticsandongoingeffortstowarditscivic-pluralistreforma- tion. The second Working Group, from which this book emerged, met in Boston during October 2004 and May 2005, in an effort to bring a comparative and interdisciplinary eye to bear on the past, present, and likelyfutureofIslamiceducation. Neither of these two projects would have been possible without the generoussupportofLuisLugoatthePewCharitableTrusts,andPeterL. Berger, the director of the Institute on Culture, Religion, and World Af- fairs at Boston University.
