About the Book
The voice of the community of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, in many ways, is a sleeping giant, a movement yet to fully awaken and arrive on the stage of American social discourse. Q. Dawuud Grey, the Internet Reporter, is among the too few journalists seeking to capture the true essence of this important movement that is behind the personality of America’s late Great Imam.
