In this episode of the Middle Ground Podcast, I discuss our new class (Saturday mornings after Fajr!), The Sherman Jackson Reader.
The Sherman Jackson Reader – Literalism Part 1
American Muslims As A Political Hockey Puck
Welcome to the first episode of the Middle Ground Podcast. In this maiden voyage episode, we’ll discuss Muslims as part of the political process and if/how we might be manipulated and used.
“There were virtually no Muslims in America before Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act.” — Ann Coulter. Read the article here.
Establishing Deep Roots
In a phone conversation today with Dr. Sherman Jackson we exchanged thoughts on Andalus (Muslim Spain) and that despite its architectural beauty, it was unable to firmly establish roots such that, when the tide of adversity came at them, they were washed away. This is in comparison to the Muslims in the former Soviet Republic, who also faced tremendous brutality, but once that tide washed back out, the Muslims came back and their identity was still intact. Reposted here from the article originally entitled, Muslim-Americans and the Need to Establish Deep Roots.
