- Baba Ali

Islam Channel (Broadcast in the UK) and he has become a frequent guest at various Islamic conferences and events (Including the ICNA-MAS convention and Evening of Inspiration). His efforts have been featured in "The New York Times " and "USA Today ". Baba Ali is currently writing the screenplay for a full length film.References
