Author Biography
Avdich was one of the founders of the Northbrook Illinois based Islamic Cultural Center. He worked with Dr. T.B. Irving and other early pioneers in helping to develop a path for Muslims in America to contribute fully to the American society as both Americans and Muslims. This work is timely as America is seen today as being a colonizer like from France and England were in the early nineteenth century.
