Islam,
Racism and
Contemporary American Society
Siraj
Wahhaj Jackie Robinson, Martin
Luther King, Malcolm X, Barack Obama Indeed, the status of African-Americans
in the U.S. has improved over time. But in order to appreciate
the progress of race relations, you have to know what it was
like before. In this powerful lecture, Siraj Wahhaj reflects
upon some of the darkest days in American history. Looking at
the era of slavery, lynchings and the civil rights struggles,
he asks the critical question of how human beings can be treated
in such brutal ways. What is the motivating rationale behind
racism? What were the devastating effects of this racism? And
how does Islam provide the solution? And given the climate of
bigotry and injustice, the imam reveals the modern-day miracle
performed by W.D. Muhammad with his acceptance of the white race
as part of the universal brotherhood of Islam. A great talk that
surveys past and present conditions, but also looks toward the
future in the context of a post 9/11 world where seemingly entire
nations and religions are demonized. Some of the darkest days
are behind us, but have we learned the lessons from them? Other
topics discussed: finding a balance between extremes, breaking
the cycle of children born out of wedlock, building a sense of
community, Islamophobia, and racism among some Muslims. (Duration:
1 hour, 38 min)
