The history of Muslim conventions is a fascinating story that tells the birth of Islam in America. During the days of the Nation of Islam under the leadership of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, these conventions consistently represented the largest gathering of English speaking Muslims in the world with countless thousands of African Americans in attendance.
When Imam W. Deen Mohammed assumed leadership of the community in 1975, he continued with that grand tradition while infusing these conventions with mainstream Islamic dialogue. Now a third generation of Mohammed is continuing that amazing history. But times have changed. American Muslims are on the defensive and being forced to explain their religion to the great country they call home. Are they up to the challenge?
