Re: For the curious ....... M Mama, Here it is.
Thank you, Muggs. I googled the topic and read a few similar articles. Unfortunately, those I read dealt with Christian Arabs, in particular one whose lineage is half Irish. Another is an American, raised in the Episcopal church, who converted in order to marry an Egyptian girl he met in college. I would imagine there are many black American converts like Mohammed Ali. I found there are approximately 3500 Muslims in the military out of a couple of million. From what I read, it seems many of them have other than Muslim backgrounds which would play a part in shaping their world view.
