. What I Know My first grounding to Islam was when I heard that a new movie would be feeler out called Malcolm X. I heard it was supposed to be unfeignedly secure once the filming was destinationed. So I firm to read the adjudge before I watched the movie so that it would be easier for me to run across it when I see it on the big screen. I borrowed the book from the library and I was very enjoying the book until I got half room through, to the point where the estate of Islam teaches that white populate are devils.

My main last is to see why most women choose to stay in Islam and what is really behind the Islamic stereotypes. II.
