"ignorant and uncivilized whites of an earlier American era" If ownership of slaves makes your ancestors "ignorant and uncivilized", well, mirror, meet Diliwar, Diliwar, meet mirror.

“ignorant and uncivilized whites of an earlier American era”

You added a precious perspective, and a much needed note of sanity to the wildly insane & fear-induced hysteria that is currently infecting segments of our public. Thank you for lending your clear, sane voice. Aman & Bassam: God bless you for making a truly inspired idea into an inspiring reality; and sharing it with all of us. Please consider extending your 30 States to 50. It would be awesome to sample the other Muslim communities in the rest of the 20 states too! Like many of the other readers, I'm addicted to your blog. May God reward you both with the best for your efforts & sacrifices. Mr Bernard, what a pleasure to read your blog’s posting on your close encounter.

As I pointed out, such things are in the histories of all peoples, mine included - both as slaves and owners of slaves. As Dave points out, a quick review of history will quickly show that several Muslim north African groups were heavily involved in the slave trade. Many point specifically to the Hausa, and no, sub-tribes are not specified. You take offense where none is offered. If you are from a people who have never abused another, then good for you. I am not. I implied no condemnation. As I pointed out, such things are in the histories of all peoples, mine included – both as slaves and owners of slaves.

The oldest mosque in Milwaukee is Masjid Sultan Muhammad. The omission by others is a slap in the face to pioneers who went to jail so people could say As Salaam Alaikum!

I'm a US Muslim history buff and had read about the mosque, but did not know it had been rebuilt. I really appreciated the pictures and info about Lila and her family--it was amazing. I wish we could know more about them and know what *exactly* happened in 1970, such an important part of US Muslim History. khair JAK for the post and pictures.

I wanted to be at the dedication of the Mosque, but was unable to. Thanks to both of you, I feel like I've been there. Lila, is indeed, a wonderful woman as are all the other sisters and the brothers. They are a very inspirational family to have had as part of my life. Blessings on both of you and this great journey you have been on. I am sure many have felt their lives enriched by your sharings. I know all the Omar siblings and knew their wonderful

Harun's story hit a nerve for me, his reaction was just so real and so raw because of his terrible experience. its so crazy how we don't have any kind of point of reference for the kind of experiences he must have had but somehow we still know it's real. These people are beautiful. Of all the masajid you could've went to in cali and socal thank you for going to this masjid and letting us know about this gem of a community. may God bless them, may God bless you guys, may God bless this country.
