Part One: Michigan City | The Shia of America

The incredible story of Shia Muslims immigrating to America starts with the Lebanese in Michigan City, Indiana, as far back as the late 1800s. Travelling across the world for better opportunities, they slowly built communities while navigating an early Islamic identity that is in many ways vastly different from the Shia identity we see today.

Thank you for this documentary. It's nice to know that Shia Muslims are considered to be simply Muslims in the US . Muslim is Muslim and the Shia are my brother's and sisters always.

Great look into the early Islamic community in America.

[@arabicmusiclady1428]

You mean early Shia Muslim Islamic community in America. We need to understand and acknowledge the Shia Islam religion and the Shia Muslim community in the Western world.

[@lorenchinavare504]

@@arabicmusiclady1428 sadly many western historians try to sweep this aspect of history under the rug like what they did with the history of Shi’a Muslim merchants traveling to Korea

Not sure if these old people and their kids still practice Shia faith

[@aliaboud6382]

I'm glad I found a solid channel to learn about my Deen, dynasty, and future. Feels like the righteous shia is a hunted people
