Journey into America is a project led by Ambassador Akbar Ahmed examining the evolution of American identity through the lens of the American Muslim community. Sponsored by the Brookings Institution, American University, and the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, the project investigates how Islam tests the boundaries of the core American values of freedom, civil liberties, and society's acceptance of others. The experience of the Muslim community in the United States after 9/11 serves as the litmus test for how non-Muslim Americans are defining themselves.

The information and analyses from the project are featured in the book Journey into America: The Challenge of Islam (2009) and in the documentary of the project, also entitled Journey into America.
