Under Siege: Black Muslim Down Under

Under Siege: Black Muslim Down Under is a memoir that chronicles the life of professional journalist Sulaiman Abdur-Rahman as it gives the gripping account on why he walked away from his high-profile journalism career in the United States to migrate to Sydney, Australia. Wrapped in a riveting love story, Abdur-Rahman's memoir also serves as a must-read social commentary about race and religion.

The Sunday Telegraph, Australia's most popular newspaper, has described Abdur-Rahman's memoir as being "scathing about Australia" in an article that ignited a massive social media discussion about Australia's growing problem of Aussie Muslims turning extreme in the face of high unemployment and systemic cultural isolation.

Drawing upon his life experience and writing from his perspective as an African-American Muslim, Abdur-Rahman uses his bulldog journalism style, backed with compelling evidence, to explain why the Commonwealth of Australia is a culturally challenged nation that offers a lower quality of life and lesser opportunities for advancement than the United States of America.

The narrative inevitably touches upon the religion of Islam and the global fight against the Islamic State international terrorist group. At its core, Under Siege: Black Muslim Down Under is an unprecedented story about faith, love, adversity, and romance as it explores how the author's interracial marriage took him on a 10,000-mile journey from Philadelphia to Sydney to help care for his sick father-in-law.

Originally published as an ebook for Kindle devices and apps, this Special Edition of Under Siege: Black Muslim Down Under showcases the full extent of Sulaiman Abdur-Rahman's powerful storytelling ability and features additional content, including a new chapter that provides on-the-ground insights into the Aussie city of Melbourne and the island state of Tasmania.
