"The History of Islam in America" by Sulayman Nyang Purchase the full-length lecture at http://www.MeccaCentric.com or call 1-800-607-9810 Sulayman Nyang, a history professor at Howard University and author of the book entitled "Islam In The United States of America", identifies in this talk the periods in which Islam gradually came to the attention of the American non-Muslim society. He does this by accounting for the various waves of Muslims making their way to America throughout history and the impact they've had up until the present day. These "waves" or stages of the evolution of the Muslim community in America which are discussed are five: 1) the Pre-Columbus explorers and settlers 2) the emigration of slaves 3) immigration to "the new world" 4) converts and native-born Muslims 5) the institutionalization of Islam in America. This presentation provides a wealth of information in the form of names, dates, and events for any "Islam In America" enthusiast and proves to be an invaluable source for this fascinating topic! (Recorded at the Dar al Islam Teachers' Institute seminar).
