Potential Approaches or Examining African American Muslims

Islam in America in the 21st century is a myriad of communities with differing political ideologies, cultural seatings and understandings of American society. Their stories are frequently related as quantitative renderings of how many of them there are, where they live and their answers to survey questions on attitudes on questions of pluralism. I have chosen to write briefly on the African American Muslim community in the 21st century. Just as people around the world evince their cultural heritage, African American Muslims do also. They are not the products of colonial incursions or military take-overs. They have been born through almost five generations as Americans though often treated as second class citizens. Nevertheless, they have the same tastes and love of modern conveniences as do other Americans.
