About the Book

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 by readership, has published an article highlighting the key points in Sulaiman Abdur-Rahman's hard-hitting book.

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 version of Under Siege: Black Muslim Down Under 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.
About the Author: Sulaiman Abdur-Rahman, author of Under Siege: Black Muslim Down Under, is an American-born Muslim of African descent and professional journalist who has reported on issues ranging from corrupt politicians to large-scale police operations. He has most recently worked as a staff writer at The Philadelphia Inquirer before resigning in March 2014 to migrate to Sydney, Australia, to help care for his intellectually disabled father-in-law. Sulaiman, an honors graduate of Philadelphia-based Temple University, has diversified his journalism career by writing religious columns for his hometown Pennsylvania newspaper, The Bucks County Courier Times.
