Here are the top 10 items which the American Muslim Community should do if they do NOT want to build a new Mosque: 10. If your community finds a good sized piece of land (or an existing building) at a good price, then don’t look into the zoning or check to see if a religious assembly can legally be held there!  You can figure out the zoning later, after you have bought the land and invested a lot of the... Read more

Book Review: The Crisis of Islamic Civilization

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 11:32 am   By irfanrydhan

Recently someone recommended I read this book called “The Crisis of Islamic Civilization” by Ali A. Allawi.
