Dr. Isaac Weiner interviewed by ISLAMiCommentary about recent book

Comparative Studies Professor Issac Weiner was recently interviewed about his book "Religion Out Loud: Religious Sounds, Public Space, and American Pluralism" by the online publication ISLAMiCommentary. 

From the article: 
"The free exercise of religion is enshrined in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But, what happens when religion becomes noisy or offensive to the ear? What happens when religion sounds “out of place”? Isaac Weiner explores these issues in his splendid new book, Religion Out Loud: Religious Sound, Public Space, and American Pluralism (NYU Press, 2014). Weiner’s objective is to analyze “the politics of religious pluralism in the United States by attending to disputes about religious sound in the public realm.” He states that his book “listens to Americans complain about religion as noise.”
