I Found America's Hidden Muslim Village | 500 Year Muslim Secret
Description !
I Found a Muslim village hidden in the high desert of New Mexico, USA. Most Americans have never heard of it, and many American Muslims don't know it exists either.
This is Dar al-Islam in Abiquiu: an adobe mosque, a desert community and a dream from the 1980s. In this video we explore who built it, why they built it, and what it looks like today.
But the story goes back much further. Muslims have a 500 year history connected to America, starting in 1492 when Granada fell and Spanish Muslims (Moriscos) were forced to hide their faith. We also look at the famous 1504 Oran Fatwa, written to guide Muslims who could not practice openly.
