"American Jihad: Islam After Malcolm X" Steve Barboza

With more than one billion faithful, Islam is the world´s fastest-growing religion. In the United States, where there are perhaps as many as six million Muslims, Islam may be second only to Christianity in number of adherents. AMERICAN JIHAD is the first comprehensive and popular guide to the faith as it is practiced here.
To some, jihad means holy war, but the true meaning, according to author Steve Barboza, is struggle, or striving – either outwardly or for inner peace. Barboza takes the fright out of this image of Islam (and many others) by weaving together the fascinating stories of some ordinary – and not so ordinary – American Muslims.

AMERICAN JIHAD takes us where we have never been before – inside the very heart of Islam in this country. Through the words of American Mslims – Loius Farrakhan, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Attalah Shabazz (Malcolm X´s daughter), the former H.Rap Brown (Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin), and a host of others – Barboza opens the door to this often misunderstood religion.

STEVE BARBOZA, a practicing Muslim, is a professional journalist, who has written for many magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today. He lives with his wife in New York City.
