Abstract
Abstract This chapter attempts to expose some of misconceived notions about African American Muslims and their communities while addressing issues of reform in a different way. The histories of these communities were told through one distorted lens of one group, the Nation of Islam. The Nation of Islam’s philosophy about white America and the oppression of Black people was rancorous to the ears of white power and oblivious to the ears of the striving for power in the Muslim world of the newly forming Saudi Arabia in the 1930s. American Protestant Christian sentiments had inherited its European antipathy of Islam and quickly put African American Muslim communities under the rubric of Black nationalism. Saudi Arabia, in its fight to become the only Muslim authority, knew nothing and cared even less about the plight of Black Americans, declaring all of them un-Islamic. This chapter provides more accurate historical information and demonstrates how these communities have made themselves American communities of Islam.
