Starting in pre-Islamic Arabia and deepest Africa, following the
lives, adventures and writings of three Muslim slaves through
antebellum America and the world of trans-Atlantic slavery,
Liberty's Jihad takes us on a fascinating journey spanning
centuries, continents and characters. Along the way Munawar Karim
invites us to explore the writings of African Muslim slaves,
reflect on some of their sacred traditions and reveals intriguing
connections and surprises still hidden in America's past and
present. Crucially, Liberty's Jihad also examines the position of
Muslims and other minorities in America following the events of
9/11 and its aftermath and, more recently, the impact of Donald
Trump's presidency. History buffs and those new to the subject
alike are given a fresh perspective and new tools to help
understand modern-day America and the world we live in today. By
weaving together narrative, scripture and historical criticism with
first-hand accounts left by African Muslim slaves, Liberty's Jihad
calls us to re-examine how we think about the world and about
ourselves.
