veiled4allah: a hidden voice of Islam veiled4allah: a hidden voice of IslamIn the midst of an impoverished East Oakland neighborhood as concerned with the war on drugs as the war in Iraq lie answers to a question roiling the country since Sept. 11, 2001: Can Islam and the United States co-exist? They can, say members of a largely African-American mosque there, offering their decades-old history as proof. But that history is often ignored and misconstrued.
Perhaps no group of Americans can speak about Islam and the United States with the same intimacy or authority as African-American Muslims. But their voice -- and story -- frequently is missing in the national conversation about Islam after Sept. 11, 2001.
