What\u2019s it like to be black and Muslim in America<\/span><\/h1>\nThe above videos are two short excerpts from the series \u201cBlack Muslims Speak\u201d directed by Ahmed Eid from <\/span>Eid Films<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\n\nIn this short segment featuring <\/span>Ousainoue Touray<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Gareth Bryant<\/span><\/a>, both young Muslims complain of undermining treatment in the Muslim community. <\/span>\n\n\u201cSo often times, they think they are privileged to rule over us just because they have had Islam for centuries\u2026 they see us as their religious servants and there\u2019s a news flash that needs to be had, we\u2019re not that\u201d Bryant stated.<\/span>\n\n\u201cOne thing I want non-black Muslims to know is that our opinion does count. Our word and scholarship should be appreciated\u201d, Touray added.<\/span>\n\n\u201cWe do have a lot of scholars and a lot of people with knowledge\u201d, he continued as he shed light on the unfortunate reality of constantly being seen as someone who is new to the religion and still learning. <\/span>\n\nThe director Ahmed Eid, hopes that this series will give an insight into what it\u2019s like for Black Muslims living amongst the Muslim community.<\/span>\n\nBlack Muslims comprise 23% of the Muslim American population and have been in America since its inception. Oftentimes, however, the black-Muslim perspective is sidelined when addressing Muslim-American issues and concerns despite Black Muslims laying the foundation for what it means to identify as an American Muslim.<\/span>\n\n\u201c<\/span>#<\/span>BlackMuslimsSpeak<\/span><\/a> is a video series highlighting Black Muslim voices- their concerns, experiences, struggles, and hopes\u201d, Eid stated.<\/span>\n\nMay Allah make the affairs of our Black Muslim brothers and sisters easy and allow us to unite together as one strong diverse Muslim Ummah.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
