A rising number of young Aborigines in Australia are converting to Islam.
Many have embraced the religion for spiritual reasons, while others insist it gives them a way to escape the oppression suffered by the country's indigenous population.

First contact came via Afghan camel trains crossing Australia's interior
Australia's indigenous people are disadvantaged at almost every turn.

They are far more likely to be unemployed or in jail than any other group.

A small but growing number of young Aboriginal men are now turning to Islam, and it is now estimated there are 1,000 Aboriginal Muslims in Australia, including new recruits and descendants of mixed marriages.

They say it gives them the inner strength to meet the challenges facing black Australia.

Many converts believe the discrimination they endured growing up as Aborigines has prepared them well for life as a Muslim in Australia.

Islamic leaders here have complained that abuse, both verbal and physical, against members of their communities, has risen since the bomb attacks in Bali at the end of last year. Radical Muslims are thought to have been responsible for the explosions that killed 88 Australians.

Picture yourself in a graveyard on a wide dry open plain,
Overhead a lonely tamarind grows quite greenly,
Sweet sour pods hang ripe ready to hand,
A single white tombstone framed by iron,
The inscription reads quite clearly,
"Abdul, A Good Mate".
