Talk:Bilali Document

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Only Arab racism (which portrays this text as the scribblings of an old man copying from memory lessons of childhood) keeps this text from its rightful place as an urtext of American Islamic Literature. To remember Bilali Muhammad properly, we need to name a Muslim American library, school, or research center after this father of American Literature. The article would be improved with cobverage of what writers have written in the past about Bilali. Proofs that Bilali Muhammad (aka Ben Ali, BuAllah, Bilali Smith, and Mahomet Bilali) are not the same person as Yusuf Benenehaly, the Wahab brothers of Ocracoke Island, and Old York whose son traveled with Lewis and Clark need to be further elaborated. Further, the false claims of Reverand Dwight York aka Imam Isa has on this father of American Islamic Literature need to be explored fully along with Bilali's contributions to the Gullah dialect of English. -- 17:29, 14 February 2006 209.175.47.164
