more relevant.
SHAHADAH CHRONICLES OF
PREVAILING ISSUES
Dear Community of Believers: As-salaamu
`alaykum.
Because of Prevailing Issues in the
Islamic Community At-Large, the Editorial Staff (ES) of Shahadah
sees the need for these issues to be addressed through the U.S. National
Amirate of Amir Abdallah Yasin, Amir of The International
Amirate of Masjid Baytul-Khaliq, Inc. In each issue of Shahadah
the ES intends to present a particular Prevailing Issue. Inshaa’Allah.
CAN THIS “WAR ON
TERRORISM” BE VIEWED AS A WAR AGAINST ISLAM & MUSLIMS? ……
YES.
THEREFORE:
HOW CAN AMERICAN MUSLIMS PROTECT THEIR
FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF THEIR BROTHERS EVERYWHERE?
THIS
ARTICLE IS DEDICATRED TO ALL AMERICANS (MUSLIM & NON-MUSLIM),
WITH
A SPECIAL PRESENTATION TO THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS ARABS.
ALSO ANSWERED:
WHAT IS TERRORISM?
There are certain points about this "war" in Afghanistan (now
continuing with Iraq) with which Muslims must come to grips. Let us begin
with this hadith: Abu Sa`id said: "The Messenger of Allah (SAWS)
said: The most excellent jihad is the uttering of truth in the presence
of an unjust ruler." (Tirmidhi - Mishkat 17)
Today, one of, if not the most unjust nation in the world is the United
States of America! Most of the world knows this, and this fact alone is
why America presents a dichotomy of feelings within people everywhere:
Just as she is admired, she is also hated in every corner of the world.
The leaders of her so-called allies and the so-called 3rd World nations
hypocritically smile in her face while many of their citizens privately
(and verbally) present the "other side" of this coin!. For,
in truth, the non-Muslim nations among them hate each other, and only
stand united against Islam! And here is where each individual Muslim must
stand up and be counted and not shirk back, hide, and in fear become a
non-person. Our fear must be for Allah, alone! The time in our history
has definitely come when each Muslim must begin to act, train himself/herself
to feel and ultimately believe that as a Muslim, he/she is the brother
to the next Muslim. I am not speaking of perfection, because nothing is
perfect in this life, but there must be the striving. And what can be
a more perfect striving? Our Prophet (blessings of Allah and peace be
upon him) said: "None of you [truly] believes until he wishes (loves)
for his brother what he wishes (loves) for himself."
NOW is the time to give GOOD Da`wah to the non-Muslim. The best Da`wah
would be the visible, everyday example of genuine love, work and interaction
between and among ourselves for all Americans to witness.
In America, our primary concern must be for fellow Muslims, and our rights
as American citizens. While there must be a concern for all, our PRIMARY
CONCERN must NOT be for the fellow African/African-American, the fellow
Arab/Arab-American, the fellow European/European-American, etcetera; it
must be for the fellow Muslim. Too many fellows of the above listing,
who claim Islam, only claim Islam when the "shoe drops"! While,
in fact, they are worthless to the cause of Islam, and before the "shoe
drops" they are the same, in nearly every respect, as the non-Muslim!
They want to live with the non-Muslim, they want to marry the non-Muslim,
they want to raise and school their children with the non-Muslim, they
sell the same unlawful merchandise as the non-Muslim, they want to (and
do) look, act and dress and behave like the non-Muslim! Some even change
their name to that of the non-Muslim. They have effectively joined the
family of the non-Muslim, even in their bigotry! But the non-Muslim will
never accept them! Remember the Balkans?
The time for change of "attitude" is NOW! This means that the
Muslim must begin to act, and train himself/herself to feel that as a
Muslim, he/she is the brother to the next Muslim and that no one is more
important to him/her than his/her brother Muslim! This must be the "litmus"
of the heart, and each heart knows the truth of what its soul loves and
yearns for. Allah, The Wise, tells us: "You may love a thing which
is bad for you and you may hate a thing which is good for you." So:
What is the BOTTOM LINE? We must love one another enough to accept the
mixing of our blood. Let me repeat: The mixing of our blood, …. regardless
of the difference in our respective colors and/or racial/ethnic heritage.
THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE! Bigotry based on racism is the barrier which
keeps us separated and disunited, especially here in America. And right
now, and for the foreseeable future, this is a dangerous time for American
Muslims. Be not fooled!
Acceptance by American Muslims of inter-marriage between the races is
the only way and means by which the Muslim Ummah in America can become
a truly Unified Islamic Ummah. I do not propose "active" encouragement
or active promotion of this intermarrying. I simply say that it should
not be discouraged. It should be allowed to happen instead of being prevented
from happening, as is the present case with and by immigrant Muslims to
America. All of the private, ethnic oriented seminars, symposiums, ijtimas,
forums, etc., supposedly meant to develop our Islamic Presence in America
are a waste of time and energy until the bigoted attitudes of American
Muslims are rotting in their well-earned graves. We may well establish
that, relative to human-kind, bigotry is the second original sin, the
first being Iblis' refusal to bow when so commanded. The second, his reason
for not doing so: to the effect: "I am better than him (Adam) because
I am this and he is that…"…!!! Racism is a shayTanic behavior.
It is an act of the Devil.
It is no secret that Arabs (generally speaking), particularly those of
the Mid-East and especially the Saudis, are some of the most racist people
on earth! PARTICULARLY as relating to Americans of African descent. American
Arabs, et alia, have a need for the Blackman of America, and a concurrent
disdain for him! Their bigoted attitudes, though more cloaked, are as
inherently evil as that held by most European-Americans. And what is more,
the European, whom my Arabs brothers and sisters ardently desire to emulate,
knows this! Yet, most of them who claim Islam are "nice" people
because the aura of Islam shines in their outward character in spite of
the secret holdings of the heart. However, such secrets of the heart do
not remain secret!
Now, many, most, if not all Arabs will deny this and wish to counter/attack
my words and/or myself, but many, most if not all Americans of African
descent know my words to be true! I cannot count the times I have listened
to them, with despair, talk of such matters. However, Americans of African
descent need stop worrying that the "rich" kid will take his
ball home or not let him play if we all do not play by his rules! (Rules
which effectively makes them bench-sitting supporters.) Because, even
when allowed in the present "game" it has never been as a full
participant because the African-American (individually and as a group)
is not measured for respect by his Islamic adab (behavior), sincerity
and his Islamic erudition, but rather by his ethnicity, his personal financial
wealth and social status, his ability (or inability) with the Arabic Language
and his willingness to serve! (Indeed, to learn the Arabic Language IS
very important. It may be "taught" in a classroom, but it is
"learned" when it is "lived" outside of the classroom!
Meaning: In our social interaction.) What is understood by all people
who immigrate to America is that they have come to a great Nation. What
must be absolutely understood by any and all people, those who are already
here and those who immigrate to the United States of America is that the
African-American is as responsible for her greatness as any one people
can ever claim! This is a true/factual statement although the African-American
is not given his due credit because of racism.
Over the years, I have written many articles and spoken at a good number
of public assemblages on this matter of racial bigotry among American
Muslims because IT IS our BIGGEST OBSTACLE. It is now time to uproot this
obstacle and turn it into a stepping-stone toward real Brotherhood. Bigotry
is the root of the problem of race-relations in the United States (and
elsewhere) and Muslim immigrants to these shores adopt the same attitudes
as the European-American who demands total control in running things!
This obstacle must be confronted and attacked "head on"; and
defeated!
Now, having said what I have said, allow me to get to the multi-faceted
issue at hand. I have already presented the Islamic Solution, for Islam,
covering everything as it does, is, always has been about blood: Spilling
and shedding it when necessary and mixing it! Our Prophet (SAWS) set the
example of marrying into other peoples! Additionally: Allah (SWT) tells
us that it is the "up-hill road", it is "the path that
is steep" which is BEST! Certainly, this proposal is an "up-hill
road. Certainly, it "feels" much easier to go down a hill than
to go up. However, the best view is from the top, not from the bottom!
Allah, The Most High, also tells us: "For truly, with hardship comes
ease. Truly with hardship comes ease."
When one travels to Islamic (oops, excuse me) Muslim countries, we see
the results of peoples who are of mixed blood. The Arab of Arabia (NOTE:
Do you know that Arabia was known as the "Land of Ham" according
to the ancient Greeks) is known as an Arab by the name of his land and
the Language he speaks. The Jordanian is a Jordanian, the Egyptian is
an Egyptian, the Algerian is an Algerian, the Sudanese is Sudanese, the
Moroccan is Moroccan, and so forth and so on. What makes them all Arabs
is the change to Arabic of their respective prior National and Ethnic
Languages! These changes were preceded by the exchange and mixing of blood!
How it came about is coincidental, yet unimportant to this thesis.
When one travels east into Asia and continues to the more distant Muslim
countries of Indonesia, Malaysia, etc., where the racial type is more
ethnically established, we find that the Arabic Language has not dominated
in those further lands. This is because the numbers of the early Muslims
who immigrated to those lands were not sufficient, as was the case of
Muslims traveling from the Arabian Peninsula to the African Continent.
Yet, all of these people from all of the indicated places outside of Arabia,
are, or have the right to be called Arabs because the Prophet MuHammad
(SAWS) is reported to have said that anyone who speaks the Arabic Language
is an Arab! This would necessarily include Americans of African descent!
Do you see the "timeless wisdom" of our beloved Prophet (upon
whom we ask Allah's blessings and peace)? Do you see it? Do you recognize
the implications for America and all of her peoples? Today the United
States is home to over eight (8) million Muslims!
Also, in lands like Malaysia, Indonesia, as well as China and the Philippines
(where there are also large Muslim populations), Islam was primarily established
by Muslim travelers and merchants from various Muslim lands. Yet, today
the blood of the original Muslims to those lands has been absorbed into
the primary ethnicity of those lands. Even though the idea of travel is
much facilitated today, the very idea that the immigrant Muslim must marry
one of his or her home boys or girls, even if it means importing him or
her from the Mid-East or Africa is a clear statement of considering the
host community of Muslim people as inferior! It is a clear statement of
bigotry! Many American immigrant Arabs would prefer that their son or
daughter marry a white American kafir than marry a black American Muslim!
`A-oothu-billah. Bigotry is like acid. It ruins the holding container
as well as that thing on to which it is poured.
I understand the need to maintain the integrity of the family through
inter-family marriages (cousins marrying cousins). However, the marriage
partners of the above stated formula of inter-marriage will carry this
same theme. Thus, the entire matter will not prove to be drastic. It will
serve the purpose of establishing extended family ties and help establish
a great presence of Islamic strength and unity in America. Allah (The
Glorious and Most High) says: "Allah never changes a people's state
until they change what is in themselves." (The Noble Qur'aan 13:12
)
Let us shift gears for a moment to speak of America's peoples: After
the infamous September 11th tragedy (atrocity), wherein several of America's
Ivory Towers were destroyed or damaged, the slogan "United We Stand"
became the American bi-line and rally cry. But, in reality, this unity
was a unity of the white people of America. Oh sure, there were, are,
many black people who also adopted this slogan because there will always
be black people who will go along with the white crowd even though this
crowd arbitrarily accepts or excludes them from enjoying a lifestyle we
all developed and built! In other words, although EVERYONE was shocked
and abhorred by that atrocious act of insanity, which Americans called
an act of terror, and it was, black Americans carried markedly different
reactions. For example: I know of a private conversation between some
big-shot African-American clergymen of New York who said (speaking of
the 9-11 victims): "They got what they deserved." Then they
went on to clarify their statements to the effect that they felt the pain
and suffering of those who lost their lives, and of the injured, and the
loved ones left behind BUT they spoke of the fact that most of the firemen
and policemen who were killed at the World Trade Center lived in areas
of New York where a black man, casually traveling through their (segregated)
neighborhoods, would be immediately swooped upon, stopped, searched and/or
questioned. And Lord knows, he had better not be "walking" through!
That's right. Right here in good old New York of A!
Now, as stated above: Arab-Americans and Arab-Immigrants, et alia, have
a need for the Blackman of America, and a concurrent disdain for him!
However, in light of September 11th, 2001 that need is going to become
much greater. And here is where this presentation gets interesting: All
non-European peoples of the world have been colonized by the European,
including the Arab nations of Africa and Asia. However, no non-European
knows the European mindset and ways, particularly of the European-American's
mindset and ways, as do the African-American, who also is a colonized/segregated
nation. While the Arabs and Sub-Continentals have been colonized by the
European, the European colonizers were the minority among the colonized
majority. Whereas in America, it has been the colonized African-American
minority living among the colonizing majority. In this way, my immigrant
Muslim brothers, we know him like he knows you!
To better understand what I am saying, imagine living in the home of
a large family. It is very likely that you would see and learn more of
their individual and collective (national) habits and attitudes than they
would see and learn of yours! Thus, this family would have greater difficulty
identifying you (antum) as a people/nation. Surely each member of the
family would see you (differently) but you would have had a "study"
of the individual and the collective! Therefore, you should know, that
this man, as a European non-Muslim, will never have any loyalty to you
as you are willing to give to him. You can vote Democrat or Republican
until you are chalk-white in the face, until your hair can be so limp
that it ruffles when there is no wind. He will not accept you as his equal.
Therefore, you will not share in totality, the same rights and privileges
he accords to himself! Although, he will beg to differ!!!
[NOTE: When I speak of "white (bigoted) attitudes" of white
people, I am certainly speaking "generally". There are, and
I personally have met and known many, who are truly fair-minded people.
AS A POINT of FACT, there were American slave-owners who were very caring
and exceptionally humane to their African slaves. However, they were the
exception, not the rule. And with "white" Americans today, especially
of recent generations, there is a greater desire than in the past to stand-up
for "justice for the African-American". Unfortunately, before
they will actively face-off with their wrong-doing European-American countrymen
over this matter of "justice", the proverbial merd_ will have
to hit the proverbial ventilator.]
As is happening now, the European-American is arresting and detaining
Muslims without cause other than his prejudice. He will kick Arab behinds
until they are raw, and not give a care. He is of the kuffar (those who
are irreligious and/or reject, attempt to cover or obscure the Truth)
and collectively he will never be your friend UNLESS & UNTIL he accepts
Allah AND His Prophet: Islam Or, do you dare call Allah a liar? `A-oothu-bil-laah.
Presently, the European-American-Kuffar is teaching, preaching, promoting
and practicing "Muslim Profiling" everywhere. DEAR MUSLIMS:
Do not think what happened to the Japanese-Americans during World War
II cannot and is not happening to you RIGHT NOW!. President Bush's expanding
"war on terrorism" is geared to make matters worse. He has begun
to fight Muslims in the Philippines, he has singled out Iraq and Iran,
and you had better believe that he has other Muslim nations in mind!
The Arabs' need of the African-American now becomes apparent. Invariably,
the War Against Islam becomes the war against Muslims. The first Muslims
to feel the heel of the kuffar's boot is the Arab. Clearly, the Arab vote
meant nothing, so where is the help? The "help" invariably becomes
the "Muslim" identity. Now, the African-American Muslim enters
the picture! And, although there are many African-American non-Muslims,
who hate Islam and all Muslims, he, too, is automatically brought into
the picture also, because he knows the mindset of the European-American
and he realizes that he and the African-American Muslim, although of different
faiths, are not even a skin-tone apart from ultimately sharing the same
sting of hatred and abuse! Make no mistake that today's African-American
Community is indeed a Sleeping Giant within the United States. For America
to attempt to pull a World War II Anti-Japanese styled assault upon African-Americans
would eventually set off a chain of eruptions throughout this land, permeating
all her agencies (federal, state, local, military, police, public and
private) too dire to be contemplated. From such a catastrophe, it is not
likely that the "united" states would survive. This is something
no sane American should want. This, the sensible American non-Muslim does
not want, but knows the probabilities all too well, which is why he calls
and focuses upon the immigrant Muslim in his official statements on Islam!
His surreptitious disregard for the "born and raised here" African-Native-American
Muslim is not without reason. Purposely, with the immigrant Muslims' ignorant
acquiescence, he keeps a media "political silence" on "born
and raised here" dark-skinned Muslims who are only depicted under
the shadow of "others". He, the Euro-American non-Muslim is
very cunning.
Because of the "wake-up call" from the non-Muslim's prejudicial
actions across the land, the Arab "political leadership" (sic)
has "peeped" this reality and has recently begun dialoguing
with African-American politicians such as Representative McKinney of Georgia
[ES: Massive amounts of Jewish money successfully removed her and other
African-American incumbents in the South who were not Israeli slaves!]
Well: Hello there Mr. Brother Muslim Arab: On behalf of "all of us"
I believe I can categorically say: If you need "us" now, it
is time to accept "us" forever more. Or, I am certain (Allahu
`Alim), it may well be the last time that you "use" us. And
by "accept us", I mean work to change your hearts concerning
any thoughts or lingering thoughts and behavior patterns of being superior
to Muslim Americans of African descent! Allah did not make you so!!! Therefore,
you are not!!!
You may have the "bat and the ball" (resources: money, Islamic
education and knowledge, etc.) but you have come to our land and that
means the "Ball Park" is ours! Everybody has something to bring
to the "game". Respect that.
Here is an excerpt from my book, Islamicizing America, 1996, Winston-Derek
Publishers Group:
"Do not the African-American leadership know that no previously enslaved
minority ever won their freedom through politics? They should by now!
And what do most of these politicians have in common? That's right ---
religion! What else??? As free people, planners of their own destinies,
they have independent cultures… all except the African-American,
that is. The African-American is in a game of Religion and another of
Politics. The deck is stacked against him on both fronts. But his blind
faith keeps him going…" "Because of the nature of Politics,
if it is not incorporated within the people's system of Faith, it will
become Religion's companion-conspirator against the people who are caught
between the two, not recognizing that both represent the seed, tree and
fruit of idol worship…". End Quote.
CLARIFICATION: When I use the term "Immigrant Muslim", I am
deliberately speaking of all Muslims in America who were not born here
AND those who are taught to relate to a homeland elsewhere for their identity.
Therefore: My Dear Brother and Sister Immigrant Muslims: There has been
a very deliberate program of coming to these shore and getting yourselves
involved in kuffar politics. It is a game you cannot win. Many of your
African-American brother Muslims can guide you. Yes, I said "guide
you". I know many of you find it a repulsive thought and would rather
"drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log" than to think
that you would be led by an African-American. Yet, the likely fact is
that we know this game of American Politics better than you ever will.
Our experiences run deep. [I can recall actively beginning my "political"
work, as a seventeen year old in Newark, New Jersey and using my parent's
automobile ("My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up
when I was little" ) to pick up African-American peoples off the
streets or from their homes and taking them to register to vote.] We know
the Political workings of America just as many of you do in you native
lands! Yet, you have come to America and became Democrats or Republicans
thinking your safety and freedom lay in the hands of this non-Muslim ruler.
I have even heard some Muslim (so-called) leaders claiming that George
Bush won the Presidency because of the Muslim vote! Well, unless Present
Bush does something really stupid within the next couple of years, and
Allah allows him to live so long, his re-election is assured! …….
Ha! So much for the importance of your vote! And he has assured his re-election
by a continuing murder-spree against our brothers! (Note that I am not
at all concerned with the survival of Taaliban rule in Afghanistan nor
their existence anywhere. They follow the same Saudi/Wahabbi/Salafi dialectic
that encourages their Saudi-trained African-American counter-parts to
ignorantly walk past me and other Brothers on the streets of America and
not even speak or return a greeting and/or to do what they can to do us
harm. Many of them in New Jersey are people who entered Islam through
me, or who I organized and catered to their Islamic needs when I worked
the State Prisons of New Jersey for over two decades! Their minds are
infected with the disease of Undiluted ShayTaanic Ignorance!) These people
have no right running anything, let alone a country. And if the truth
be told, here in America they have worked, with Saudi support, to surreptitiously
join/infiltrate many Islamic institutions, and often with the treat of
force, have "taken over" many such institutions. This has been
facilitated, in part, by some African-Americans becoming foolishly infatuated
with "brothers" (sic) who return from Saudi Arabia with the
Arabic language on their tongues, a hidden deviance in their hearts and
a rancid hatred for Sunni Muslims everywhere!
There have been numerous "articles on voting" published in
the Shahadah. In the January 2000 issue, we printed a concise Fatwa (legal
opinion) on the subject, which conclusively proved that voting and participation
in this non-Muslim political system is haraam (unlawful). However, there
is a circumstance where voting in this kuffar political system can be
considered legal for us! I have detailed it in past articles and it is
very simple. Muslims must register ONLY AS INDEPENDENTS and vote ONLY
as directed by their ONE local leader (of which there are none!), vote
ONLY as directed by their ONE state leader (of which there are none!),
vote ONLY as directed by their ONE national leader (of which there is
none!)! This is the key to effective "block voting". This means
that Muslims must eventually accept and establish Islamic Leadership.
Amirate leads to Khalifate. The "Amirate-America" Project is
"key" to our survival as true Muslims in America (See: www.Amirate-America.Org).
This fact of governance is why MUSLIMS do not commit acts of terrorism!
I suggest that Muslims read the 103rd surah (chapter) of Qur'aan, Suratul-`Asr
and its Tafsir, and then try to understand this surah. Also, Allah tells
us in Qur'aan, 7:32 and again in 10:49: "Every nation has an appointed
time. When their appointed time comes, they cannot delay it a single hour,
nor can they hasten (it)." It appears that my Native-American Brothers
understand this ayat (sign) much better than my Muslim Brothers and certainly
better than African-Americans. I can say this because I can "see"
them "waiting" for their destiny to unfold: By his patient demeanor,
the Native-American informs the European-American (who controls this land
of America), and the African-American (many of whom share Native-American
blood), that this land and its rule will not endure! We do not see him
(the Native-American) openly participating in the affairs of this nation.
He recognizes that he is a victim of the affairs of this nation. You do
not see him on-stage, singing and dancing - playing the fool, or chasing
a ball. He is waiting, if necessary, through many generations. We know
that this land and its conquerors will not endure. And, One Day, inshaa'Allah,
it will be written upon the pages of history, that once stood upon the
vestiges of this land a mighty nation: A mighty nation, which was cruel
to many of its own inhabitants and inflicted its punishments upon the
world by unrelenting acts of physical, financial and economic violence.
It inflicted its own brand of terrorism upon the entire non-European world.
Qur'aan 48:28 "He (Allah) it is who has sent His Messenger with
the guidance and the deen (religion) of Truth, that He may cause it to
prevail over all religion. And Allah suffices as a witness." (Also
See Qur'aan 9:33 and 61:9)
Islam: The ONLY Power on God's Earth, which can unite ALL peoples into
one. A True: "E Pluribus Unum".
"WHAT IS TERRORISM" as defined by the Funk & Wagnalls International
Dictionary?
1. The act of terrorizing: Meaning: a. To reduce to a state of terror;
terrify. b. To coerce through intimidation. Consequently, a terrorist
is one who adopts or supports a policy of terrorism.
2. Terrorism is a system of government that seeks to rule by intimidation.
3. Unlawful acts of violence committed in an organized attempt to overthrow
a government.
In this segment I wish to present and explain several factors:
First: African-Americans and Native Americans (North, Central & South)
have been terrorized by Europeans ever since the Europeans landed upon
their shores! And everywhere else he has gone in the world outside of
his own borders! Therefore, TERROR, RAW TERROR is nothing new to us born-here,
indigenous Americans. Native-Americans as well, but particularly Black
Folks, have been terrorized for centuries by European-Americans using
terror tactics grounded in a hatred more insidious than the world has
ever known! So I say to my Arab (Muslim) brothers, you have no idea as
to what could possibly be in store for you on these shores if you do not
get your act together and righteously accept and band with your dark-skinned
indigenous American Brothers and Sisters. There is no other single act
which can open the doors of change for the European-American non-Muslim.
By Allah's favor: No other single act can have as dramatic effect upon
his heart and mind; upon his soul. If my words terrorize you, don't call
me a terrorist, call me a "truth-teller" because I know what
this European-American is capable of and in some places is still actively
practicing his terrorist craft on his "dark-skinned" fellow
Americans. But just as "fear" was "bred" into the
African of America, it is being bred out! These "united" states
would be completely, totally destroyed before we ever accept the past
as our future. Your future my brethren, is to swallow that colorless,
sizeless and tasteless thing, which is so hard to swallow: your pride,
which promotes your false sense of superiority over your African-American
brothers and sisters.
You must stop being "exploited" by "white-hype superiority
imaging": You must see through the mist, which is used to obfuscate
the reality. European-Americans foolishly corrupt their own history. For
example: Let us look at the "cowboy movie" (Do not under estimate
the "Cowboy Movie", which for decades was the primary Cinema
Drama.) There are two things missing in every "cowboy movie":
1. Horse manure in the street. 2. The American cowboy of African descent!
It is a virtual fact, and was a visual reality, that one out of three
(1 of 3) cowboys of the "Old West" was a Blackman! By such exclusions
of African-American contributions to the growth and development of America,
the European-American deludes himself into accepting a false reality of
his own environment! Then he propagates, preaches and teaches this false
reality to his (and our) children.
I strongly caution every American Muslim, regardless of his/her
birthplace, not to follow the un-Islamic doctrines of Racial Superiority
and Hatred as promoted in America, nor ascribe to those imported here in
the mental baggage of immigrants.
RACISM IS
ONE OF THE FACES OF TERRORISM
Second: This exposes the farce of
Bush’s war on terrorism.
As stated above, President Bush has singled out the Muslims for physical
punishment in the name of a "war on terrorism".
1. He will never send soldiers to attack non-Muslim North Korea because
China will not allow this!
Neither of them are Muslim countries!!!!
2. However, if Bush is really sincere in his desire to wage war on terrorism,
why doesn't he send his killing machine to South America to search out
and destroy the numerous drug cartels, which by their trade, destroys
many more people every month, in every U.S. State than died in the World
Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon combined???
He won't do it! Why? Because of money. American Bankers make extraordinary
sums of money off of the South American drug trade. It is certain that
the drug barons do not store their money under their mattresses nor in
hidden shoe boxes! They place their money into banks! The corrupt bankers
make money on the table and under the table on these fantastic sums of
money. Yet, if Bush and his anti-Islamic Ministers of State were serious
about the American People fighting terrorism, these bank accounts would
be "frozen" and war would be declared on these drug barons who
enslave entire villages, not to mention the abuse these poor women and
children suffer daily, and the corrupt money-laundering bankers would
be jailed.
It is a fact that the treatment of women under Taaliban rule was shameful
and certainly un-Islamic. However, all truthful people know that the non-Muslim
"show of concern" was a sham. He would not give a good damn
about the treatment of women and children in Afghanistan if the U.S. corporations
could have gone into Afghanistan and raped its people and their natural
resources!
3. Did we mention that nearly every month, somewhere in Latin or South
America Christian Missionaries are mercilessly raped and or murdered?
This is just another proof that money comes first!
The U.S. media is now painting the picture of Afghanistan's farmers returning
to producing heroin. Let us consider: What is the truth behind this media
propaganda?
a. The world needs regulated narcotics production. Without it, the medical
profession would revert back to the "stone age"!
b. The Afghani farmers are not Columbian drug barons, living in the squalor
of wealth, enslaving
and forcing entire villages to labor for their profit.
c. The Central Intelligence Agency, since the close of the Korean War,
has been in the drug business.
The C.I.A had. (as had the British and the French) control of much of
the drug trade in Vietnam and Indo China. Let us not forget what the "Iran
Contra Affair" was all about!!! It is very likely that the C.I.A.
is again behind "poppy production" in Afghanistan. After all,
they were "knee deep" in it prior to the Taaliban regime took
over the country, which is one of the few good things to the Taaliban's
credit.
ALSO: I caution everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim to beware of the transference
of "hate" upon Usamah bin Ladin. Not withstanding many Muslims
in America, there are many throughout the entire Muslim and Arab worlds
who are not jumping to believe that he did the "dastardly deed"
of 9-11. Those media-made-famous "found video tapes" of bin
Ladin are not pages from the Qur'aan! Remember that we are living in the
land of "Hollywood" where Forest Gump was placed in every time
and place, and where extinct dinosaurs roam the planet earth, TODAY! (A
very good reason for wanting him "Dead or Alive", preferably
Dead!)
I am personally not convinced that "others" did not perpetrate
this heinous act in their bid for World Domination. Such people are international
in scope and have no loyalties to any country. Their loyalty is to their
twisted ideal. These evil doers of the world has classified Islam and
Muslims as "the new enemy". Russia is now their friend!
(Please see my COMMENTS affixed to the article (in this issue) "Somebody
Blew Up America, by Imamu Baraka)
Let us not be duped like the present Pakistani rulers who are seriously
at odds with their own people for being subservient to U.S. interests.
The people of Pakistan remember the F-16 Fighter planes purchased over
twenty years ago, which the U.S. has still refused to deliver!
In Richard Nixon's last book he named Islam as the next threat to the
Western World. In "Thirteen Days" the true plan of Kennedy's
top advisors to purposely shoot down a plane full of American college
students and blame it on Castro was revealed. Then the United States was
to launch a fierce war upon Cuba but JFK despised that plan and told them
to destroy all reference to it, but they did not. Examples of this type
of unpatriotic treachery by Americans upon Americans is regularly depicted
in thousands of movie films and videos.
You ask: "Why would Americans do these thing to themselves?"
That would have been a great question for Timothy McVey about the Oklahoma
City bombing. He acted ALONE???!!! AND the Islamophobic U.S. media rushed
to blame Muslims; after all, this media paints us as the enemy! And President
Bush, I do not believe by mistake, called this present action a "Crusade".
It may have been a "slip", but not a mistake!
It is no secret that the Jews of Europe were no more likely to leave
Europe to go to the illegally created state of Israel than are African-Americans
to line up to be transported to a place in Africa! The Jews had to be
terrorized and forced to leave by a planned action by Zionists in league
with the Nazis! It is no secret. Yet, they never let you forget what they
suffered. Neither should African-Americans ever let the U.S. nor the world
forget, and they/we must accelerate calls for reparation, which is due
to them as it has been given to everyone else! RACISM equals and must
co-exist with TERROR. RACISM was behind the U.S. refusal to attend the
Conference on Racism held last year in South Africa. And let us look at
the agenda which the U.S. President and his people object to: 1- Declaring
the racism is a crime against humanity. 2- Reparations to African-Americans.
3-The classification of Zionism as a racist doctrine. The U.S. has a great
ideal but her actions are un-mistakenly racist.
EXPANDING PRESIDENT
BUSH’S “WAR ON TERRORISM”:
Certainly I do not want to see young, ignorant, brainwashed Americans
coming home in body-bags. However, I do not want to see Muslims being
arbitrarily killed either. Therefore: If Iran and Iraq do not put their
ages old conflict aside and stand united, Bush's military mad-dogs will
attack them one-by-one. Who is the world terrorist here????
LET US NOT declare all Europeans or European-Americans as evil/devils.
Not at all! I know many black devils, living and dead! The evidence of
history is that each generation becomes more aware of the evil deeds of
their fathers. There is hope. Just look at those people who travel from
country to country to protest at the World Economic Forums. These are
primarily good-intentioned, young, intelligent, educated people of European
ancestry who see the "globalization plan" being orchestrated
by the Western nations as no more than a plan to sit them at a "table
of death". They are telling their elders that they are refusing to
sit in front of a menu, which has the destruction and subjugation of the
poor peoples of the world as the main entrée. Many Euro-Americans
today, around the world, including the U.S. are bitterly protesting the
planned U.S. aggression against the people of Iraq. I pray that Allah
will favor them with Islam.
Around the world we see continuing and growing demonstrations against
America's preparations for another cruel war against the people of Iraq,
the Land of the Prophets. The world has no idea of what history was lost
in the 1992 war. But we do know that millions of Iraqis, old men and women
and children were needlessly killed and/or maimed for life by that war
and the continuing sanctions against them. We do know that use by the
primary kuffar states, the U.S. and Britain, of weapons using depleted
uranium has cause the cancer rate in Iraq to skyrocket!
The book "Body of Secrets" by Bramford, reveals political wickedness.
The book "Bias", now on the Top Sellers List, reveals how the
media moguls purposely design anti-people strategies and molds the Public
mindset to fit! Much of their strategy is based upon a subtle form of
terrorism characterized by arbitrary inclusion or exclusion. Do not be
fooled: African-Americans are still greatly victimized by the U.S. media;
particularly the African-American Muslim! All American Muslims must be
wary of her racist web, which knowingly or unknowingly ensnares all Americans
and for many, corrupts their souls.
To conclude this phase of our presentation I must first explain to you
that America is not as Christian country! It was never meant to be a "Christian"
country! Even though the Founders were Christian, they did not choose
this road because they witnessed, experience and/or knew of the evil of
the Christian kings and monarchs of Europe. Purporting a "Christian"
country, these rulers "terrorized" the peasants of their respective
countries. Time and time again, they expelled the Jews. [The Jews were
driven out of England in 1290. They were twice expelled from France; once
in 1306 and again in 1394. They were expelled from Belgium in 1370. They
were expelled from Czechoslovakia in 1380. Holland expelled them in 1444.
Italy expelled them in 1540. Germany expelled them 1551. Russia exiled
them in 1510. The Jews were also driven out of Portugal and Spain, et
alia.) As a point of fact: Some of the "Founding Fathers", namely
George Washington and Benjamin Franklin (to name two) did not want the
Jews to be allowed in the new republic. Benjamin Franklin was one who
argued for legislation to this effect! (which is why you seldom hear Jews
refer to America's "Founding Fathers"!)]
This American "oligarch", which is overtly called a "republic"
and outlandishly referred to as a "democracy" is not a Christian
country. What it strives to be, with moderate success, is a "Land
of Toleration", for, if this were a Christian country there would
be no synagogues, no mosques, nor temples of any kind. Therefore, we must
say: "Praise be to God for America". (Personally, I cannot conceive
of a better place to be. For all that is wrong with America, it is a great
country in more ways than it isn't! Our prayer and hope should be that
Allah puts Islam into the hearts of ALL the peoples of America.) The question
prevails: Now that God has given America to the world, and to Americans
particularly, what are we going to do with it? I will promote until my
dying day that it is for all Americans to strive to make America a "Better
Place for ALL of God's servants." This means that some major changes
are called for. "Certainly, man can only have what he strives for."
Our collective striving as Americans is to make America and the world
a better place. And certainly, Allah (The One True God), is The Best Knower.
Therefore, YES, we should strive to eliminate TERRORISM OF ALL KINDS.
America must lead by example, and the best example is shown in one's own
behavior towards those in one's immediate presence, and all others.
If America wants the world to follow her, she must lead by giving the
world an excellent example. America must stop spending hundreds of billions
of dollars every year on Defense Projects and spend that money directly
on her people. Stop Clandestine Activity in the 100 or more countries
where she presently is operating. There should be Free Higher Education
and Free Health Care in America. Medical Research should be a NO.1 priority!
Medicine, Food Production & Distribution throughout this country at
reasonable prices, and to the less fortunate of the world, for free (without
strings), should be a Charitable Practice. The U.S. Government should
do this. Wars will end.
However, let us not be blind to certain realities: In the Mid-East the
criminal state of Israel, by a U.N. Partition Plan, with the blessings
of Britain and the United States, has stolen Palestinian land. Israel
will never be able to truly occupy its stolen land, nor expand, until
the Palestinians are exterminated! My Arab brothers here in the U.S. foolishly
try, by diplomatic and political means, to get America to understand the
plight of the Palestinians. And American politicians DO understand, precisely.
After all, did not the American government actively and intentionally
work over-time to (nearly) exterminate the American Indian? How else can
you take over a people's land and live in peace? Do you recall the Balkans
of only a few years ago, where the Muslims were being systematically exterminated
while the American, European and Israeli governments watched? They watched
as the Muslim citizens of Sarajevo were battling the former Yugoslavian
Army, and they were enforcing an evil Arms Embargo on the Muslims to prevent
them from defending themselves! The same is now happening in Ash-Sharqul-AwsaT
(the Mid-East) where the European supported & American sponsored Israelis
are killing Muslims with impunity.
PURE TERROR.. This
one-sided and evil support must stop.
I believe that Americans will only
condemn this self-practiced behavior when they accept Islam!
I conceived these articles during the Ramadan (2001). My Post Ramadan
Message to all is: DO YOUR BEST.
It shall be witnessed.
Inshaa'Allah: In the next issue of Shahadah I plan to elucidate on the
postulation promoted by some American Muslim leaders that African-American
Muslims should prepare to make hijrah (migration) from America.
