Chronology of Islam in America By Abdus Sattar Ghazali 1178-1799 1800-1899 1900-1999 2000-2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Muslims explored North America at least 300 years before the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, according to many researchers. Dr. Barry Fell, a noted New Zealand archaeologist and linguist of Harvard University showed detailed existing evidence in his work, “Saga America” that Muslims were not only in the Americas before Columbus arrived, but very active there as well. Ivan Van Sertima, in his renowned work, “They Came Before Columbus” confirms that there was definitely contact between the ancient and early African people with the Native Americans. Columbus logged on October 21st, 1492, that he was sailing past Gibara on the coast of Cuba he saw a mosque. He also logged that remnants of other masjids have been found in Cuba, Mexico, Texas and Nevada. [This chronology is based on books, magazine relating to Muslims in America as well as media reports. Most of the chronology from 1178 to 1990s is based on the following sources: They Came before Columbus by Ivan van Sertima; Islam in America before Columbus by Hisham Zoubeir; Islam in Latin America:Timeline of Muslim Exploration of the Americas by Islamic Path and “the glimpses of Muslim life in American history” by Fareed H. Nu'man. Editor] |

On USA PATRIOT Act’s third anniversary, volume
of anti-PATRIOT Act resolutions dwarfs the Act itself
USA Patriot Act I
The USA Patriot Act is an acronym for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate
Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.
In early February 2003, the Center for Public Integrity disclosed a leaked draft of the Bush Administration’s
next round in the war on terrorism–the Domestic Security Enhancement Act (DSEA).
Why say No to the Victory Act (Patriot Act II)?
Secret Evidence Act 1996
The 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, known as the Secret Evidence Act, established a new
court charged only with hearing cases in which the government seeks to deport aliens accused of
engaging in terrorist activity based on
secret evidence submitted in the form
of classified information.
