The Imam of Bedford Stuyvesant

Here's an interesting article on Imam Siraj Wahhaj, of Masjid at-Taqwa in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY. It's not only interesting because of him, but of his ability to use Islam as a positive force for urban renewal, changing a neighborhood from one infested with drug dealers and crack houses into one where people feel safe, with a "Muslim economy." From Saudi Aramco World magazine.
