Islamic Circle of North America
Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), formally chartered in 1971 but active since 1968, is an Islamic North American grassroots umbrella organization.
It is an offshoot of the Muslim Students' Association (MSA), was founded by immigrants from the Indian subcontinent, and its members are primarily of South Asian descent, primarily Pakistanis and Indians.〔(''Complete idiot's guide to understanding Islam'', Yahiya Emerick, Penguin Group, 2004, ISBN 1-59257-272-3, accessed January 31, 2010 )〕
It is smaller and more conservative than the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), holding separate sessions at its national conventions for women.〔(''Islam in America'', Jane I. Smith, Columbia University Press, 1999, ISBN 0-231-10966-0, accessed January 31, 2010 )〕 In 2002 it allowed a woman to address its annual convention for the first time. Its headquarters are in Jamaica, New York, and includes classrooms, a reading room, and a small mosque, and it has offices in Detroit, Michigan, and Oakville, Ontario.
==History==
In 1971, a number of South Asian MSA members who had been involved in Islamic movements in their home countries developed an Islamic study circle (''halaqa''), in Montreal which became the predecessor of ICNA.〔(''The South Asian religious diaspora in Britain, Canada, and the United States'', ) Harold G. Coward, John R. Hinnells, Raymond Brady Williams, SUNY Press, 2000, ISBN 0-7914-4509-7, accessed January 31, 2010〕 The "Sisters Wing," its women's group, was established in 1979.
