Muslims in Georgia 1771 - 1965: A Historical View: MUSLIMS IN GEORGIA contains important facts and events related to the presence of Muslims/Islam in ... biographical sketches and research links.

MUSLIMS IN GEORGIA was compiled to serve as a repository of important facts and events related to the presence of Muslims/Islam in the United States — more specifically the State of Georgia. Included are events and occurrences that have affected American lives in Georgia and other localities. It contains dates of significant events, recollections of persons involved in those events, biographical sketches and research links. Islam and Muslims have been maligned and often misrepresented in the United States in part due to a lack of information, it is hoped this volume will prove valuable to researchers, students and the general public with a greater insight and a better understanding of the life and times endured by God-fearing believers in Islam. Elijah Muhammad was admittedly not the first to teach or to practice Islam in these United States, his efforts provoked enormous interest, not only in his personal brand of Black Nationalism, but moreover in Al-Islam as revealed to Prophet Muhammad of fourteen hundred years ago (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and the community he established has transformed into the largest and most active community of Muslims in the Western Hemisphere. This book is not an attempt to write history; it is merely a compilation of events. As editors, we have attempted to identify all sources of material; however, donated materials and photographs have come to us without complete or proper citations.
