Real History Not HIS-STORY

Islamic History by Yasir Qadhi

Yasir Qadhi explores the history of Islam and Muslims in the Americas from the beginning to the present day, discussing everything from the pre-Columbus era to theories about early Muslim exploration of the New World, to the Muslim Slave experience, the Nation of Islam, right through to the advent of both early and recent Muslim immigration.

Coincidentally, from the same podium where Abraham Lincoln spoke a few hundred years ago, and Barack \"Hussein\" Obama, two days earlier.

Along the way we learn the amusing story about Hajji Ali, also know as Hi Jolly, the Greek-Syrian convert from Constantinople who was hired to come to America and raise camels of all things.
