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...
King, who wears his hair in dreadlocks, converted after visiting Africa for the first time and in Gambia read the Koran and realized its teaching chimed with his own beliefs, not least in fighting injustice.
"For young African Americans, there is some attraction to learning about traditions that have been associated with resistance to European imperialism," said King, who has adopted the name Bilal Mansa since his conversion.

Sappers within the perimeter.
Probably got the idea while incarcerated.
They probarly think they will have more freedom under Islamic laws just to get back at the Man.
So it is the violent nature he finds appealing, more appealing than the forgiveness-centered Christianity.
No wonder Islam is popular in America's prisons.
Born of pure ignorance, stupidity and laziness.
What irony. The main so-called religion that has promoted slavery for centuries is being embraced by decendants of African slaves? I'm not buying this. I think it's a back door way to get more support for the Obamanation.
Perhaps Islam is a status symbol?
I'm guessing that nobody pointed out to them what Mohammed had to say about Africans, or about how the African slave trade got started.
oppressed ... or oppressing ? I think he's more attracted to the oppressing part myself.
Flies are attracted to shit...and moths to the flame.
Semper Fi
Hmmm.
Must not have read the same edition that I did, then.
Wonder if he keeps his in the outhouse, as I do mine?
Memo to self: Contact CAIR and have them send me another free koran.
The last one they sent has been desecrated as much as I can desecrate it.
They will discover they are quite mistaken.

Like I said earlier...this guy now represents a sapper within the perimeter.
religion's affinity with people who are oppressed...
Idiots. Muslims dominated the slave trade in Africa.
It is Islam that DOES the oppressing. Seriously. Islam means submission. Follower call themselves slaves to Islam. Islam enslaves the non-believer even in the modern era.
It is the victim mentality on display that they choose to "be victims" by being profiled as terrorist threats at a time when Islamic supremacist ideology is radicalizing and muslims are training in the West for jihad (guns and workouts in the woods).
They may not "win" the battle but they can win the war. Just as socialism was not defeated along with the Soviet Union. The police, the state, and the media deny that Bishop/Bishra, Malvo, and this Salt Lake City guy were waging war on the kufir. They draw a blank as to motive.
Please enlighten me. I have not heard; I looked on the internet and couldn't find anything.
