Podcasts about black muslim americans

This is a story about civic engagement and political power that should be headline news. In 2020, EMGAGE, a national nonprofit, was instrumental in motivating over one million registered Muslim American voters to cast a ballot in one of our nation's most consequential elections. This milestone is particularly meaningful because Muslim Americans have been marginalized, underrepresented and subject to hate crimes and government persecution since the shared national tragedy of 9-11. EMGAGE energizes the Muslim American electorate by investing in state-based organizing that builds networks among diverse populations, including Black Muslim Americans, who share a strong desire to preserve our embattled pluralistic democracy. In this episode of Power Station, Wa'el Alzayat, shares how his whose lived experience as a Syrian immigrant, Middle East expert, and American diplomat, informs his leadership of EMERGE. He listens to and champions public policy priorities, from tackling gun violence to expanding economic opportunity, that move Muslim Americans, like other Americans, to advocate for policy change and to vote. At a time when democracy in America and across the globe is alarmingly fragile, we are all strengthened and inspired by EMGAGE's inclusive approach to community and power building.              

Dr. Jamillah Karim with academic qualification as long our wingspans joins us today to dispel several Muslim biases vs polygyny: she's educated, she's financially capable, she's independent, she' authoritative, she's confident, and she CHOOSES polygyny as a way of life for herself. She is both frank about her support of it as a source for authentically loving and supporting Muslim sisterhood, as well as recognizing the role of jealousy in polygyny. She does an excellent job of weighing pros and cons aloud in this episode so if anyone has never entertained both sides of polygyny, consider doing it. Hear about how polygyny serves her spiritual purposes, which in and of themselves are enviable mashaAllah.Furthermore, for all those viscerally anti polygyny, consider the pervasive barriers to mere SURVIVAL that Black Americans, specifically Black Muslims, face and why polygyny may be a critical tool they need to perpetuate healthy Muslim families. For anyone slamming polygyny willy nilly this month on our socials and DMs, consider the anti Blackness of your prejudice to choices made by our brothers and sisters in America. Are you ready to be a bigot? Are you ready to marry Black Muslim women into your non-Black Muslim family?Note: For those who don't know what the “Warith Deen community” mentioned in this episode is,  it's the community of primarily Black Muslim Americans who followed the son of Elijah Mohammad, Warith Deen Muhammad, to mass conversion from The Nation of Islam to Sunni Islam in the 1970s.

Mahmoud Elansary has on Br. Mujahid Muhammad where they start off talking about Black wall street, Jim Crowe, and the black struggle in America. Then they go onto to discuss the Muslim struggle in America, the Black Muslim struggle and the relationship between Muslim Americans and Black Muslim Americans and how we can better that relationship. Mujahid Muhammed is the President and founder of K.E.Y.S development. He's a community therapist and activist dedicated to the well-being of youth and families in Baltimore.  He served as a clinician in the Baltimore City school system, the University of Maryland, and several other prominent organizations. His leadership afforded him the opportunity to implement the first Columbia University CASA Blueprint program in the state of Maryland. He became a certified trainer through Cornell University. He served as a crisis management and foster parent trainer for Catholic Charities for over ten years. His focus is to work with disenfranchised children and their families in a way in which mentors, counselors, therapists, and social workers all first become advocates in a community in which they will serve. Allowing themselves to become infused in the community prior servicing children and families in those communities. Mujahid Muhammad remains at heart an activist and can often be found in the projects of Baltimore having lively discussions around social change with parents and playing ball with kids in the neighborhood.

Islam in American has been profoundly shaped by the Black Muslim experience. However, Black Muslims are often marginalized both within their own religious communities and in public discourse about Muslim Americans. Su'ad Abdul Khabeer, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, attends to this erasure by centering Black Muslims to investigate the relationship between race, religion, and popular culture. In Muslim Cool: Race, Religion, and Hip Hop in the United States (NYU Press, 2016) she offers a rich ethnography of Muslims in Chicago, many of whom are involved with the Inner-City Muslim Action Network. IMAN and members of its community regularly perform “Muslim Cool,” a blueprint for being Muslim in America that is steeped in Blackness. Abdul Khabeer’s research helps us understand how Black Muslims have shaped Islam in America in general despite intra-communal tensions around anti-Blackness. In our conversation we discuss new approaches to Hip Hop, the loop of Muslim Cool, opinions about music in Islam and its use among Afrodiasporic Muslim communities, Black Muslim women’s veiling habits and its adoption by non-Black Muslims, Muslim Dandies and formulations of masculinity, state sponsored cultural diplomacy trips and Muslim hip hop artists, Sapelo Square as an effort to produce materials about Black Muslims, and how family histories can enrich the archives of Black Muslim Americans. Kristian Petersen is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy & Religious Studies at Old Dominion University. He is the author of Interpreting Islam in China: Pilgrimage, Scripture, and Language in the Han Kitab (Oxford University Press, 2017). He is currently working on a monograph entitled The Cinematic Lives of Muslims, and is the editor of the forthcoming volumes Muslims in the Movies: A Global Anthology (ILEX Foundation) and New Approaches to Islam in Film (Routledge).
