ATLANTA (Reuters) - Islam is growing fast among African
Americans, who are undeterred by increased scrutiny of
Muslims in the United States since the September 11 attacks,
according to imams and experts.
Converts within the black community say they are attracted
to the disciplines of prayer, the emphasis within Islam on
submission to God and the religion's affinity with people
who are oppressed.
