Chicago-area Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid first Muslim to head global interfaith group.
He’s about to take on a global role as chairman of the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions, an international interfaith group based in Chicago.
….Mujahid was picked in part for his history of community organizing. The imam’s the president of Sound Vision Foundation, which produces Radio Islam. He’s the former chair of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago.
I’ve linked and excerpted Imam Mujahid’s writing here at TI, and once excerpted something he wrote and then cited two imams for authority – not knowing that Mujahid was an imam himself. It’s an unusual characteristic of the Internet that you get introduced to someone through the good qualities of their writing or insights, and only later discover their titles and accomplishments.
