America has a home grown muslim community and a large immigrant muslim community.
Where and who are the ulema in America? Or do American muslims still look to Arabia for its religious leadership.
Isn't it the duty of each country to develop its own Ulema and build its own religious universities.
Has America developed its own bodies of Religious knowledge?

Fiqh Council of North America The Fiqh Council of North America traces its origins back to the Religious Affairs Committee of the then Muslim Students Association of the United States and Canada in the early 1960s. This Religious Affairs Committee evolved into the Fiqh Committee of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) after the founding of ISNA in 1980. As the needs of the Muslim community and the complexity of the issues they faced grew, the Fiqh Council was transformed into the Fiqh Council of North America in 1986. The Council continues to be an affiliate of ISNA, advising and educating its members and officials on matters related to the application of Shari�ah in their individual and collective lives in the North American environment. Executive Council Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, Chairman Shaikh Muhammad Nur Abdullah, Vice Chairman Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Shah, Executive Director Dr. Mohamad A. El Sheikh Dr. Jamal Badawi Dr. Ihsan Bagby Shaikh Abdur Rahman Khan Dr. Zainab Alwani Council Members Dr. Deina Abdelkader Dr. Muhammad Akbar Dr. Muneer Fareed Shaikh Muhammad Hanooti Imam Yahya Hendi Dr. Yusuf Z. Kavakci Dr. Muhammad Qatanani Imam Hassan Qazwini Dr. Ali Solaiman Ali Dr. Muddassir H. Siddiqui
