What about ALL the Enslaved descendant of afriCANS [ many were betrayed trafficked SOLD from West Africa] who were Muslims and couldn't identify for fear of retribution 😢
As a former soldier, I enjoy stories like this. It's important to remember the diversity of our country and, by extension, our military, which is what keeps us strong. As someone else noted in a comment, "This is a timely reminder"
I met an African American marine at my Mosque, this was 15 years ago or so. He served 4 years in the Marines and took shahadah (testimony of faith) and converted to Islam. He needed a place to stay so I took him in for 6 months. In Iraq the Iraqi soldiers called him Abu Hussein so he wanted to be called that but we told him that means, ' the father of Hussein ' so he'd need a son named Hussein lol. But we just went with it and accepted him into Islam. Unfortunately he was mentally stuck in the battlefield. I got him a job at Target as security and he was standing at the door like a soldier so I had to teach him to smile, seriously! I'd come home and he'd be practicing his smile... 😢 Dunno where he is now. He left all his stripes and uniforms at my place when he moved out. 😕
@@MrYusha Thanks for doing what you could. PTSD is a terrible thing that we as a country need to learn to deprogram out of our soldiers once they're home from a war!
I know UA-cam's treasures are endless. But even by that infinite measure, this is a gem. This is a superb story. And it is so uplifting. Thank you for this.
Thank you for this! It is amazing to me how shocked my students are when I inform them that Muslims lived in what becomes the United States from as early as 1565 in St. Augustine, and that Muslim Africans, likely, were members of Spanish expeditions exploring the US Southwest.

Most History Classes only start with the English bringing slaves in 1619, but not the Spanish bringing slaves to St Augustine in 1565 and Pensacola before that. African explorers (Moors) had been in the Americas!!
Wow, this is an amazing piece of American History! Our Muslim brothers and sisters have been here in America - fighting for humanity - for freedom. Stop all wars NOW!!! We are all one -united we stand against fake wars.
That tombstone should be replaced with his full name. This is the least that could be done for a man who spent 20 years trying to get his pension after honorably serving.
Thank you, Malika, for always being on the right side of history. I must say that I was surprised when I heard your comforting voice at the very beginning of this video. You bring comfort and knowledge to an old lady on Al Jazeera. Thank YOU for ALL you are doing.
Really feeling proud to know how much Muslims were involved in making America the great country from its beginning. Thanks for making the great documentary.
Ashamed how muslims were repeatedly fooled to help America which continously tried to destroy them, and millions of muslims worldwide. Psychologically, they did even more damage. No pride in saving that one who envies your mere existence.
knowing the Cold War history and even history of things like how the Philippines and Hawaii was conquered, not to mention what it is doing right now outside its borders, I would not say great. But one of the basically only two times it was great and moral as a government was in the reconstruction era(the one in which these Muslim Americans were involved) and in world war 2.
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “This matter will certainly reach every place touched by the night and day. Allah will not leave a house or residence but that Allah will cause this religion to enter it, by which the honorable will be honored, and the disgraceful will be disgraced. Allah will honor the honorable with Islam, and he will disgrace the disgraceful with unbelief.”
Thank you for telling this part of American history. I hope people reflect on it, and remember that immigrants have done a great deal to support this country! Even to the point of fighting our wars!
I had heard about enslaved muslims africans, but not muslims on the civil war. I live near a large (christian and muslims but mostly muslim) arab population so I always love learning about the history of islam!
And in the end, they labelled him 'John'. An amazing story about erasure as much as it is about a brave Muslim & the Civil War. I really hope PBS is able to stay this buoyantly true. Even after literacy is banned in 2025.
As a Muslim lawyer, I am still amazed at the pension rules are still very complex and annoyingly tedious as I fought many cases and was helpful to many soldiers and foreign support defense personnel associated with US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pension cases are disfavored in the legal community because the attorneys do not draw much fee, complex and rule-based and even I took them pro bono and not particularly liking them. Shockingly, the names and origin of some of these pensioners were still from Afghanistan even at this time, many with names starting with Muhammad and ending in Khan.
i sincerely hope that PBS will be able to survive under the incoming régime. stories such as this are vital to honesty in history. peace to Muhammad Khan.
As long as PBS doesn't produce fake information docs., they ought to be fine. Remember they are government funded. It's time to be rid of all phony news and documentaries! Let Hollyweird make the fictional films, that's their forte'.
Dear PBS, Thank you for shedding light on the fascinating and often overlooked contributions of Muslims during pivotal moments in American history, including the Civil War. However, I’d like to point out an important correction regarding the spelling of Muhammad Khan’s surname in your feature. The surname "Khan" is deeply rooted in the cultural and historical traditions of Pashtuns from Afghanistan and South-Central Asia. It is one of the most common surnames in this region, originating from a title used by leaders and nobility. In contrast, the spelling "Kahn" is typically associated with Jewish heritage, and its use here appears to be a misrepresentation of Muhammad Khan’s Afghan-Pashtun identity. Given that Muhammad Khan was identified as an immigrant from Afghanistan, I kindly urge PBS to consider revising the spelling of his name to "Khan" to reflect his cultural and ethnic background more accurately. Ensuring the correct spelling helps preserve the authenticity of this important narrative and respects the history of Pashtun contributions to the Union Army during the Civil War. Thank you for your efforts to illuminate these remarkable stories with integrity and accuracy.
I have read a brief mention that there were a few Muslim soldiers who fought in the US Revolutionary War. If that is true, perhaps a documentary about them could be created? I and other Americans would appreciate it.
The American Civil War was a very diverse war aswell as Americas first was that was inclusive. Native Americans, Italian Americans, Hispanic Americans Cubans, Spanish and Mexican Americans, Chinese Americans, Indian Americans , Irish Americans, German Americans, polish Americans, African Americans, black immigrants all fought in the civil war and aswell fought on both sides of the conflict.
@@dGuthrie1-hc2rx the amendments and laws wasn’t about you…stop… you fled and couldn’t fight your oppressors at home… America needed slavery to be rich ,they didn’t need you …
I have read many letters written by soldiers that fought in the American Revolutionary War, to get their pensions. The laws were passed in 1818, 1820, and 1832. The original records were burned in 1812 when the British attacked and burned Washington DC, so soldiers had to petition for their pensions, and get other people who knew them to testify. Even then, many of them were turned down because they couldn't remember names of people and places they fought in the 1770s and 1780s, so even for the latest that was 38 years (or so) before, and they were old men by the time they petitioned. Some of the letters are from widows who should have been able to collect their husbands' pensions. And it wasn't much even if they won. Some men's pensions were turned down because they were in charge of supplies such as bringing barrels of salted meat, blankets and shoes, and some courts did not consider that "being a soldier" even though they were. In the reconstructed records, some of their names are there. Since Muhammed Kahn's name is known now, his headstone could probably be changed to one with his real name. Some of his records even reflect that now, so it could be done.
With other being Christians such as Quakers who were persecuted for their denomination in Britain or elsewhere in Europe. We mustn’t forget that either.
@@ecamp6360 yeah, I fear if Christians forgot who were their own persecutors back in Europe, that the US will lose its first amendment to evangelical fundamentalists.
Great story of the contributions made by Muslims and other cultures to US History. I am sure the radical right and right wingers don't like to see this great documentary.
I wish more Fox and Newsmax viewers would watch content like this. I wish the next Administration's military would watch this video before they go on the rampage of anti-woke and anti-d.e.i. We are disgracing the memories of so many patriots with the belief that only white people can be patriots... of all colors and creeds.
They just spout whatever to their viewers and they generally know who most of their viewers are... therefore they cater to them so advertisers get their views. They don't care about "grace" or "honor"... only money. 🤷♂
Garibaldi turned down a commission as a general in Union army. An interesting Civil War book is the journal of a Spaniard who served as an officer in a Black regiment.
A more interesting story happened in Cherokee, North Carolina, where the children of those who escaped the Trail of Tears by hiding in the mountains fought in the Civil War.
The Civil War didn't had a closure. That's the reason why while no Confederate flag ever flew in DC during the Civil War but on January 6, 2021 many were carried inside the Capitol.

Proud of my fellow Afghan who fought to end slavery and spread true Islam. May Allah rest his soul in peace ❤ 🇦🇫
Hmmm yeah end slavery in America
In every Muslim country it was still rampant till the mid 20th century
This brothers story say he was a Persian born in Persia then raised in Afghanistan. 🇦🇫 still a beautiful story/ life story. Praise Allah.
@Brotha.Jay1 you love to claim anything as Persians even Enestien 😄
If any Muslim in USA is close to his grave, please go offer his Janaza prayer. He was probably burried without Janaza.
That is what I was thinking
If he died a martyr on the battlefield praying on him is not allowed.

At the time of the Civil War slavery was allowed throughout the muslim world, only under western pressure did the muslims end it.
As a Muslim American this truly makes me so proud of America. I wish the general public understood how many Muslims really lived in early America
America is the biggest threat to Islam, Muslims and the rest of the humanity.
