Quote:Yes, Islamic as Islam is going to be quite wide-spread among black Americans
This reminds me of a funny story. Way back in the late seventies or early eighties, my friend wasn't a Muslim, but he was black and he told me that he changed some of his habits of dress when he was in University- like he grew a beard and wore these beatnik looking glasses and wore this little knitted skullcap all while carrying thick books around...
Anyway, his mother's neighbor was this nosy little black woman (all the neighbors were black - it was a black neighborhood of very well kept and neat little bungalos and gardens down south (by the way).
So anyway, he was surprising his mother (who was also black) on her birthday by coming home for the weekend to help her celebrate. He knew she was home because her car was in the drive, but he tried the door and it was locked so he rang and rang the doorbell - but no answer.
So finally, he yells through a window that was open a crack , 'Ma - let me in.'
She immediately opened the door. He was like, 'Didn't you hear the doorbell? Why's the door locked? Why didn't you answer the door?'
And she said, 'Well Dolly from across the street must have seen you on the step because she called me up and said, 'Margaret - don't answer your door - there's a black Muslim standing on your front porch!
I love that story, and you better keep in mind (for your future plans for the Afro-American Islamic Republic )- that an awful lot of black people already believe in Jesus.
I don't think you'll be able to sway that many over to Allah.
