At first glance Jahdami was a typical Rastaman, drawing what he needed from the larger tenets of Rastafari and moulding the rules to fit his own household’s livity, with himself as godhead and ruler of all things. But to my eyes, he was an outlier in the way he also drew from extremist ideology and harmful archaic practices to suit his purposes, constructing his own violent interpretation of an austere version of Islam most commonly known as Wahhabism, which then started to grow popular with my father and some of the other Rasta bredren.
