After converting to Islam in 1992,[4] Webb left his career as a DJ and studied at the University of Central Oklahoma, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in education.

[7] While studying at Al-Azhar, Webb served as the head of translation at Dar Al-Iftaa Al-Misriyya, the world's largest Fatwa office.

[6] Webb frequently hosts lectures and posts articles offering Islamic perspectives on modern-day issues such as community involvement and social relevance.

[21] He is a part of efforts to more effectively rebut militants and religious extremists [22][23] and is an advocate for grassroots Muslim activism to promote social change.

[24][25] He has spoken out against radical clerics that seek to prey on insecure youth and their American identities, stating that "We do have to shepherd them and look out for people like al-Awlaki who tries to undermine that (U.S.) experience and use it against them.

"[26] Following the Boston Marathon bombing, Webb condemned the acts as radical [27] and joined with interfaith clergy to pray that "we continue to live in harmony, honoring and celebrating our similarities and differences, working together for the common good.

"[28] In 2007, Webb wrote an article calling homosexuality an “evil inclination” and told a gay would-be convert to Islam to seek treatment for his “problems”.

Webb was replaced by Nasser Wedaddy, director of civil rights outreach for the American Islamic Congress and chair of the New England Interfaith Council.
