Abdul-Fattah says there is an almost "slavish" clinging to the Christian beliefs among black people, without actually studying the Scriptures and putting them into their proper context. "Many Christians from the black community don't really extend themselves enough to sometimes listen or allow themselves to be exposed to any other interpretation other than what the minister gives them," he says. Abdul-Fattah says that many blacks are drawn to the Muslim faith,?which has-approximately 3.5 million members nationwide, because it is against oppression and injustice. Shakir, who works with the American Muslim Mission's Committee to Remove All Racial Images from the Divine, says the Christian faith propagates racism and the superiority of white people. "They portray anything divine as Caucasian," he says. But he^too, rays There are similarities in the Muslim ~ and Christian basic religious beliefs as interpreted in the Bible and in the Koran, the Muslim holy book, except their differing opinion of Jesus Christ. In Christianity, he is viewed as the son of God. In Islam, he is seen as a prophet of God. Ms. Johnson says her Christian friends agree with and accept many of the concepts and beliefs of the Baha'i faith, but she adds that there is some difference of opinion. "Many Christians like our principles until it comes to Jesus," says Ms. Johnson. "They claim that he is the only one. In the Baha'i faith, we accept and respect all the prophets and we don't believe there are different religions. We believe there is only one religion and that's God's religion." Jackson says she decided to join the U-U faith came when she realized she had been trying to accept certain Christian religious teachings that she no longer approved of nor wanted to live by. "It suddenly dawned on me that I had spent all this time trying to conform to the faith and I was unhappy with it," she says. "I found it pleasing that I didn't have to change my whole way of thinking (to be a U-U)." But Jackson says she does not disapprove of^ Christianity. "People have the right to believe in what's important to them," she says, "whatever fits their lives." Staff writers Robin Adams and Edward Hill Jr. also ' contributed to this article. ?
