Islam is at the heart of an emerging global anti-hegemonic culture that combines diasporic and local cultural elements, and blends Arab, Islamic, black and Hispanic factors to generate "a revolutionary black, Asian and Hispanic globalization, with its own dynamic counter-modernity constructed in order to fight global imperialism.

the pre-columbian presence of muslim africans
From Hot Coals (a new blog I found about recently and I'm getting into): THE PRE-COLUMBIAN PRESENCE OF MUSLIM AFRICANS IN AMERICA IS NO MYTH! by Imām Al-Hājj Tālib ‘Abdur-Rashīd. It is an interesting contribution to an ongoing historical debate about what was going on this side of the pond before Columbus.

I remember a small mention of the subject in the "Lies my teacher told me" book. I wish it had delved a bit further into the subject
Yes, actually there are a couple of other past Grenada entries about the same subject. There are even those who say that Chinese Muslims travelled to the Americas before Columbus. Interesting stuff.
