如果“美国伊斯兰”只是指主麻拜后吃芝士汉堡而不是比尔亚尼饭，那么没有人会有异议。人们所反对的“美国伊斯兰”，是为了迎合美国的观念和文化，而在没有任何其他理由的情况下妥协宗教（دين）的做法。

If “American Islam” just means eating cheeseburgers after Friday prayers instead of biryani, then no one has any issue with that. The “American Islam” that people have a problem with is when deen is compromised for no other reason than to accommodate American sensibilities and culture.

例如：在美国，穆斯林女性与非穆斯林男性结婚是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，男女并排礼拜是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，非穆赫兰（非mahram）的人约会、使用约会应用程序是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，娱乐性吸食大麻是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，穆斯林参加基督徒、犹太人等的宗教仪式是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，穆斯林孩子参加毕业舞会是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，接受利息（riba）是可以的（而实际上这在技术上根本不是利息！），因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，经济不稳定的穆斯林女性堕胎是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，支持LGBT等群体是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。在美国，忽视清真寺或其他宗教聚会中性别隔离的规范是可以的，因为该文化中有x、y、z等方面的因素。诸如此类，不胜枚举。如果这就是“美国伊斯兰教”，那就请不要算上我。但我很乐意与你坐下来共享一份芝士汉堡，或者一份比亚尼饭。

Examples: In America, it is OK for Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men because of x, y, z aspects of the culture. In America, it is OK to have women and men pray side by side because of x, y, z aspects of the culture.

In America, it is ok to smoke weed recreationally because of x, y, z aspects of the culture. In America, it is ok for Muslims to attend and participate in the religious rituals of Christians, Jews, etc., because of x, y, z aspects of the culture.

In America, it is ok to consume riba (which is technically not riba anyway!) because of x, y, z aspects of the culture. In America, it is ok for Muslim women to get abortions if they are not financially stable because of x, y, z aspects of the culture. In America, it is ok to support LGBT whatever because of x, y, z aspects of the culture. In America, it is ok to ignore norms of gender separation in the mosque or other religious gatherings because of x, y, z aspects of the culture. And on and on. If this is “American Islam,” count me out. But I will be happy to sit down with you for a cheeseburger. Or biryani.
