Imam Mohammed (ra) Islam in America Hattiesburg, Mississippi 11-4-93

"Al Islam in America began with the first occurrence of a Muslim on the continent of America, recently an author of a well documented discourse on what he says pre-Columbus voyage, visit by Arabs to this part of the world , new world, that is, how sound or how valid his claim is has to be tested still further, but it is very impressive and to me it was a well documented claim that this author made.  It is accepted that our big and small towns in America dating back to more than a hundred years ago, Detroit one of them that stands out in my memory right now, the town where a sizeable number of naturalized citizens lived who came from the Mid East, Muslims we believe they were at that time, during the early 30's and today there is still a very large community of nationalized citizens from the Middle East living in the Detroit and Detroit area."
