An American Love Story

Description

The book explores Islam’s historical advancement from West Africa to modern black Americans. The journey notes the importance of Islam’s spread into Europe, fueling its transcendence beyond the Dark Ages. A review of the Founding creators of the Republic, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, surfaces as they understood the brilliance of Islam in advancing Europe by participating in the Masonic order. Post-slavery, the role of African spirituality, history, and American challenges are investigated, explaining how these important themes rebirthed Islam into the conscience of black Americans. As such, the book identifies the intersectionality between Islam and Christianity, particularly how Evangelism and Presbyterianism prompted some black persons to pursue a faith different from their oppressors. Moreover, a historical linkage manifests in the text, examining Prince Hall’s Masons, the Moorish and Ahmadiyya believers, and Garvey’s Pan-Africanism influence on the Nation of Islam’s radical philosophy and persuasion in broadcasting the faith to the American populace.
