This thesis is a further study of Peter Skerry's 2011 article, "the Muslim-American Muddle," in which he argues that not only non-Muslim Americans are worrying about Muslims' loyalty issue due to the fear of radical Islamism and terrorism, but also Muslims are confused. My basic argument is that Muslims are still suffering from their muddled loyalty. It is not because they are disloyal but because, in light of Grodzins, their organizations guide them in different directions which are not always en route to national loyalty as non-Muslims expect. Inspired by Morton Grodzins's theory on social structure and national loyalty in liberal democracies and James Q. Wilson's insightful study on political organizations, this research has sought to understand the Muslim muddle with an in-depth inquiry and examination on one of the most common and important Islamic organizations-Islamic centers and mosques with an ethnographical method. The evidence of this thesis was collected between April 2016 and December 2017.
