OF EMPOWERMENT</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Stop! You are not a Manchurian Candidate!&lt;/span&gt;  If you are a Muslim,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; listen&lt;/span&gt;! If you are a Black man or woman, pay heed! Whoever you are, if you live in America, you may benefit from these words! "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ear.&lt;/span&gt;" &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Before you repeat the same old mantras that have been programmed into your subconscious like&lt;/span&gt; - "&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;if you don't vote you don't count", and "our ancestors died for the right to vote", and "you have to participate in the system to change the system" or "it's irresponsible to tell people to not vote"&lt;/span&gt; - before you say it, please consider the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     1) If you are a Muslim then you know that all man made political systems are "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;taghoot&lt;/span&gt;" (false gods that rule by other than Allah's command).  Regarding &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Taghoot&lt;/span&gt; Allah says that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Muslims have been ordered to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;shun&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Taghoot&lt;/span&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-family: courier new;"&gt;HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THOSE (HYPOCRITES!) WHO CLAIM TO BELIEVE IN WHAT WAS REVEALED TO YOU (MUHAMMAD) AND WHAT WAS REVEALED BEFORE YOU (PREVIOUS SCRIPTURES) - YET THEY WISH TO REFER LEGISLATION TO &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;TAGHOOT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;WHILE THEY WERE COMMANDED TO REJECT IT,&lt;/span&gt; AND SATAN WISHES TO LEAD THEM FAR AWAY &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt; Qur'an 4:60&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Also:&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;HE WHO REJECTS TAGHOOT  AND BELIEVES IN ALLAH HAS GRASPED THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY HANDLE WHICH NEVER BREAKS...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  Qur'an 2:256&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Also:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WE HAVE SENT TO EVERY NATION A MESSENGER PROCLAIMING 'SERVE ALLAH AND SHUN TAGHOOT&lt;/span&gt;"  Qur'an 16:36&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     2. Moral power is superior to political power.  Moral power changes behavior and challenges political power.  Political power does not change behavior.  Also, laws do not have to be repealed in order to be rendered ineffective.  There are countless laws on the books that are virtually dead because the public would not tolerate its enforcement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     3.  It is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; possible&lt;/span&gt; to "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;clean up the system from within&lt;/span&gt;."  The system itself is corrupt.  You cannot clean up a brothel and leave the business intact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     4.  O&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;ur ancestors did NOT "die for the right to vote&lt;/span&gt;."  Our ancestors thought voting was a tactic that would make a difference.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Voting does not and has not changed the economic, educational, medical or social standing of our people&lt;/span&gt;.  If our ancestors had known this, they would have adopted another tactic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     5.  It is argued  that non-voting is a type of apathy.  Actually, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;voting is apathy&lt;/span&gt;! By voting you are throwing in the towel and going along with the flow.  Voting means you refuse to challenge the system.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Voting means you do not have the courage or fortitude or endurance to implement the Qur'an.&lt;/span&gt;  The non-voter shows far more courage than the voter because he refuses to go along with patriotic slogans and illogical rhetoric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    6. The time, enthusiasm and money that many of our youth spend on "political organizing" could be spent on "nonpolitical" alternatives.  It is the duty of Muslims and all people who desire freedom to develop private alternatives to government services to weaken the public's dependence on &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;taghoot.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     7.  Democracy is a religion that teaches that the majority can even overrule Allah Himself! Democracy has a scripture: the Constitution. Democracy has "prophets": the "founding fathers".  Democracy has rituals: voting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     8.  Voting reinforces the legitimacy of the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Taghoot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     9. Asians and Indians have made remarkable strides in America with little electoral empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     10. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt; Elections silence any revolutionary fervor&lt;/span&gt;.  Potential "malcontents" are sucked into the safe activity of "participating in the system."  For instance, Black radicals of the 1960's were "cooled out" by giving them "a piece of the action." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     11. Most of the "political organizers" of today are pimps who  organize our vote to sell  to the highest bidder for their own personal gain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     12.  Most Americans have abandoned the ballot box because they recognize it as an exercise in futility.  S&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;o you, as a Muslim come to the people an offer your solution to their problems. And that solution is: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;vote&lt;/span&gt;.  Why should they embrace Islam as a way of life when the Muslims all calling people to adopt the same system that has failed our people???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     13.  Non- voting is a declaration of independence from the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;taghoot &lt;/span&gt;and it may free us of blame before our Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Someone said recently, "we've tried non voting and it didn't work."  I must disagree.  What we have tried is apathy and that has not worked.  Non voting does &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; mean sitting on the sidelines.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Non voting means that you have decided as Black men and women, as Muslims to make your own way and to empower yourselves.  Non voting means that you are going to prove that your Book is a living Book.  &lt;/span&gt;Non voting means that you are going to show the world that the modern Arabs have messed up their practice of Islam and you are going to show the world the greatness of Islam that was displayed by the Moors, and the Songhai Empire.  Non voting means you going to show the world that you can rise above a European system of oppression that has robbed Africa and Asia and has made the whole world tremble before its aggression.&lt;br /&gt;                                    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sources&lt;br /&gt; 1.

They will prosper and succeed and all of mankind benefits from a prosperous, united Muslim community enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;     On the other hand, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;DISUNITY OF THE MUSLIMS IS A CURSE FROM ALLAH:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;    "SAY: ALLAH HAS POWER TO SEND CALAMITIES UPON YOU FROM ABOVE AND FROM BELOW, OR TO&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; COVER YOU WITH CONFUSION AND GROUP CONFLICT..." &lt;/span&gt;  - ANAM:65&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;When Allah is unhappy with the Muslims He causes them to be confused and dis-unified.  &lt;/span&gt;Indeed disunity breeds confusion because there can be no united purpose or accomplishments when there is disunity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;    &lt;span size="5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;On the day of Eid there will be no less then 6 Eid prayers taking place in proximity of each other!!!

But there is no unity.  Or we've &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;lied&lt;/span&gt; to ourselves saying "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Muslims are not 'monolithic'!"  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Our enemies &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;ARE&lt;/span&gt; monolithic:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;  "THE BELIEVERS FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE OF ALLAH AND THOSE WHO REJECT FAITH FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE OF SATAN.."  - NISAA:76&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;What's even worse is that each group thinks it is superior or to the other groups based on ethnicity or income or education or "knowledge of the 'Sunnah'", or style of dress, or who their Imam is, the method by which they came into Islam or political connectedness, etc, ad nauseam!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;   " DO NOT BE LIKE THOSE WHO JOIN GODS WITH ALLAH OR THOSE WHO SPLIT UP THEIR RELIGION INTO SECTS - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;EACH SECT REJOICING IN THAT WHICH DISTINGUISHES IT."   &lt;/span&gt;RUUM:31-32&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;UNITY OF THE MUSLIMS IS MANDATORY AND NOT OPTIONAL&lt;/span&gt;!

The Mayor said he'd "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;talk" &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;to union representatives about the problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;    &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Philadelphia is corrupt to its very core&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.  It is the very definition of corruption.  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The unions are the most corrupt of all Philadelphia institutions.  Each union is a mafia like organization that locks Blacks out of ever getting good paying jobs in the building trade.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;City council passed some ordinance recently requiring unions to give some share of the pie to Blacks and "minorities".  Union boss &lt;strong&gt;John Dougherty &lt;/strong&gt;was quoted in the Daily News as saying he "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;didn't care what City Council said!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;    The unions are gangsters who have completely stripped jobs from Blacks in Philly.  And make no mistake: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;the unions will fight to the death - literally - before they will give up those jobs to Blacks.  They will kill, kidnap, threaten and beat anyone who attempts to straighten out the employment inequities in this city.  You cannot "talk" away this situation, as our completely clueless mayor would like to do.  &lt;/span&gt;He has no idea that he is dealing with criminals who hold him in utter contempt.  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;The racist, criminal unions have a strangle hold on the building trades.&lt;/strong&gt;  You cannot &lt;em&gt;vote&lt;/em&gt; this situation away.  You cannot &lt;em&gt;legislate&lt;/em&gt; this situation away.  The union bosses are outlaws - they care nothing about the law.  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;And the police will never enforce any laws against the unions because the police are run by the biggest and most heavily armed union - the FOP - Fraternal Order of Police.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Everyone knows that unions stick together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;     The result of the union control of jobs is that our youth have little future.  More and more will turn to crime.

Muslims are being attacked coming to prayer, leaving prayer and during prayer.  The chickens have come home to roost, as &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Shaykh&lt;/span&gt; Al- Hajj &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Malik&lt;/span&gt; Al &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Shabazz&lt;/span&gt; famously stated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;     &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Most, if not all,  of these attacks are upon immigrant Muslims&lt;/strong&gt;.  Most, if  not all, of the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;masjids&lt;/span&gt; that have come under attack are located in predominately White areas.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;That is because the immigrant Muslim community has shunned it's Black Muslim brothers and sisters and preferred to live amongst White Americans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;   &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;We Black Muslims love our immigrant brothers and sisters, but they love us not.  &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So they choose to live and worship amongst people who hate them.  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;   &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; Our immigrant brothers and sisters are pursuing the "American Dream."  We could have told them that the American Dream is a myth.  Our immigrant brothers and sisters believe America is governed by a "Constitution."   We could have told them that America is run by lobbyist, special interest groups, unions, fraternities and secret societies that specialize in making sure the Constitution benefits only themselves.  We could have told them that the ritual of voting has nothing to do with governance.  We could have told  them, in the words of Dr. Amos Wilson, that in &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;America&lt;/span&gt; "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;you are free to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;say&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;what you want,  but the White man &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;does&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;what he wants." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;   &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;So our immigrant brothers and sisters shun us.  They spend their considerable wealth building Islamic centers that don't benefit us.  They spend millions sponsoring candidates for office - like George W. Bush - but donate very little to our &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;masjids&lt;/span&gt; and organizations.  We love to worship with our immigrant brothers and sisters but they don't come to our &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;masjids&lt;/span&gt; , special events or &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Eid&lt;/span&gt; celebrations.  We are made to feel unwelcome or ignored at their &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;masjids, &lt;/span&gt; but White&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;politicians are welcomed and honored there&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;   Our immigrant brothers and sisters want to be accepted by  racist White America, and not by their Black Muslim brethren.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Now our immigrant brothers and sisters are learning the hard way who their real friends are.

It is the Imam Jamil Al- &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Amins&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Malik&lt;/span&gt; El- &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Shabazzs&lt;/span&gt; (Malcolm X), that have been the friends of the Black community.

Often the marriages don't work out or the Brother may bite off more than he can chew. But &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Muslim men, more than any other group are raising the children that have been abandoned&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; by &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;negroes&lt;/span&gt; including the fake Black nationalists!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;  A Muslim brother will marry a sister with five, six or seven kids without blinking an eye!  That brother will pay tuition, feed, clothe and play with these fatherless children just like their own.  Often these children suffer from severe emotional and psychological trauma from their fatherless condition which causes them to act out. The Muslim man will struggle to teach morals and discipline to children that have been left behind by some worthless negro - &lt;em&gt;who's probably a fake Black nationalist&lt;/em&gt;!  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Malcolm X established both the Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of Afro American Unity (OOAU) in order to &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;UNITE&lt;/span&gt; the Muslims and Black Nationalists for the freedom of all Black people! &lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;A real Black nationalist unites- he does not divide!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;   Quietly, because Muslims tend to be quiet people, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;millions of Black children are are being &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;raised&lt;/span&gt; by Black Muslim men&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;who sometimes lose their lives or their freedom protecting the woman from her &lt;em&gt;crazy-behind&lt;/em&gt;, no account &lt;em&gt;baby -daddy&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;    &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Remember&lt;/span&gt; that the next time some loud mouth, you-tube revolutionary, fake Black nationalist attacks Islam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-7204241781008219043?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/7204241781008219043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2010/07/in-defense-of-muslim-men-and-islam.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/7204241781008219043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/7204241781008219043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2010/07/in-defense-of-muslim-men-and-islam.html' title='IN DEFENSE OF MUSLIM MEN AND ISLAM'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-7450974456919730689</id><published>2010-02-20T07:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-22T19:44:59.178-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hypocrites'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='betrayal of immigrants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Majlis Ash Shura of Philaelphia and Delaware Valley'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam in Philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='majlis ash shura of philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blacks in islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam in america'/><title type='text'>THE NEW TRICK OF THE ARABS IN PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;The Arabs in Philadelphia have long distanced themselves from the indigenous Black Muslim community in every city in America. They do not live with us, work with us or cooperate with us. They have always been invited to be our brothers, but they have refused. Not verbally have they refused, but by their actions they make it clear that they have a different agenda than the Muslims who established Islam in America. &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;The Arabs are here to make money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;Period. &lt;/span&gt;To do this they will capitulate to any and all politicians and entities whether or not those entities are against Islam and the Muslims. The Arabs in America will water down Islam to make their money. &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;They will sell pork, lottery tickets, wine,fake halal meat, cigarettes, drug paraphernalia, and rotten food to Black Americans and then take the money and build mosques! &lt;/span&gt;The Arabs supported George Bush -that says it all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it has reached the stage where the Arabs not only distance themselves from us but &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;now they actively work to undermine the efforts of the Black Muslim indigenous community. &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic; COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;The latest trick of the Arabs is to form a NEW Majlis Ash Shura and give it another name. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The original Majlis Ash Shura is the united body of leaders who came together to work for the good of the Muslims. The Arabs have claimed to be a part of the Majlis but their active support is , of course, lacking- no not lacking - it is ABSENT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, because the Arabs don't want to work with us, they formed another group, with another name in ORDER TO DISUNITE THE BELIEVERS and pursue their unholy agenda under the guise of unity. &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic; COLOR: rgb(255,0,0); FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Unfortunately some of the indigenous Imams have joined on to this cause and allowed themselves to be used&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;An Arab is the head of this fake majlis. &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Imagine: an ARAb comes to America and leads American Black Muslims. Could a Black man go to Palestine and be a leader? Could a Black man go to Pakistan and form a "majlis"? Lebanon? Saudi Arabia? Bangladesh? How arrogant does one need to be to come to our home and lead us? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There can be no doubt that this fake majlis will pursue such aims as &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;abolishing the moonsighting&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt; back room deals with politicians and other sell-out, shameful compromises to further their cowardly, materialistic agenda. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now this fake majlis will remain unnamed here, but you will know them by their efforts to undermine the true unity and their betrayal of Islam. And we are watching them. More importantly: Allah is The Watcher. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Correction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: We &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;are&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; going to name the organization that has formed to disunite the believers. We have decided to do so because we owe it to our youth to document the treachery of today so that it will not be repeated in the future. The name of the group is The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Council of Islamic Organizations of Pennsylvania (CIOPA). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is interesting that some of the Black Imams that have joined the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Arab led&lt;/span&gt; CIOPA could not find it in their hearts to fullfil their commitment to the Majlis Ash Shura .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Maybe if the Majlis had an Arab leader instead of a Black leader, those indigenous Imams would honor their promise&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;For those who don't know us - we don't care if a leader is Arab as long as he sticks to the Qur'an. We do care when the Arab's actions stink of &lt;strong&gt;islationism , Arab supremacy, double dealing and sabotage . &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Seemingly, the "CIOPA" is formed in the image of the CIOGC - Council of Islamic Organizaions of Greater Chicago- CIOGC. The CIOGC is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;another &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Arab led group in Chicago that has hijacked Islam and tamed the Islamic movement. Lately CIOGC advised the Muslims on how to handle the so called flu epidemic: "don't shake hands or hug when giving he greetings of salaam; get not only one, but two vaccinations: the h1n1 vaccine and the regular flu shot."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-7450974456919730689?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/7450974456919730689/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-trick-of-arabs-in-philadelphia-and.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/7450974456919730689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/7450974456919730689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-trick-of-arabs-in-philadelphia-and.html' title='THE NEW TRICK OF THE ARABS IN PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-8159592152099358263</id><published>2010-01-05T18:49:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-22T19:46:32.535-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Majlis Ash Shura of Philaelphia and Delaware Valley'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='majlis ash shura of philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blacks in islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslims in philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslim unity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='women in Islam'/><title type='text'>CONFRONTING THE WIFE- BEATER CULT</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The sister came to our masjid seeking help. She said her husband gave her an STD and has been beating her for years. When her husband learned she was at our masjid he came and brought a member of his "jamaat" or group with him. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;They entered the masjid as if they wanted a violent confrontation.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;They began screaming at the sister saying, "you shouldn't be here." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Naturally, I did not let their aggression go unchallenged. There was no way I was going to let them scream at this sister who had sought refuge from an abusive husband. They postured, made insinuated threats,and kept one hand in their pockets as though carrying weapons. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The sister insisted that she was not going to return home to an abusive husband and she wanted out of the marriage. I defended her right to choose freedom from abuse. &lt;em&gt;The wife beater and his friend claimed that "Islamicly, no one can make the man give the wife her freedom if he did not want to. &lt;/em&gt;And since the husband was not freeing her, they said, I have no right to intervene. Allah says about the wife beaters:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;THE HYPOCRITES ARE ALL ALIKE: THEY ENCOURAGE EVIL AND FORBID GOODNESS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;QUR'AN 9:67&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;I told them to stop lying on Islam and stop lying to the sister.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The friend of the wife beater, who had so much "knowledge", then asked me for "&lt;em&gt;daleel&lt;/em&gt;" - Islamic evidence that a woman can free herself from an abusive relationship. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Seriously&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. He actually wanted to debate this issue! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The negro started to speak Arabic as if that made his position valid! Like all hypocrites: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;'THEY SEEK TO PLEASE YOU WITH THEIR SPEECH - QUR'AN SURAH MUNAFIQUN:4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;They would not sit down and talk, seeking to intimidate me. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Little did they realize the fury and justice that would have been unleashed upon them had they acted upon their veiled threats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Then, a brother from masjid security arrived. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Now the wife beater and his friend were facing something they had obviously never seen before - two men willing to defend a sister.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Fools like this can be found in every city. They are "Muslims" who beat and abuse women - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The wife beater cult&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. They do not belong to any masjid because they claim that no Imam has any "knowledge". Allah says about these hypocrites: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;WHEN THE HYPOCRITES ARE TOLD TO UNITE WITH THE BELIEVERS IN IDEOLOGY, THE HYPOCRITES SAY "SHALL WE BELIEVE AS THE FOOLS BELIEVE?" INDEED, THE HYPOCRITES ARE THE FOOLS BUT THEY REALIZE IT NOT. QURAN 2:13&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;They say they follow some "Shaykhs" who live thousands of miles away. The real reason they follow some distant scholar is because the scholar does not really know them and cannot hold them accountable for their actions. They abuse women and say that women have no right to flee the abuse. They do not allow their wives to learn true Islam because it will interfere with their abusive ways. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;WHEN THE HYPOCRITES ARE TOLD TO STOP SPREADING CORRUPTION THEY SAY, "WE ARE ONLY TRYING TO FIX THINGS" &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Today they say, "We only want to spread the Sunnah "!)&lt;/span&gt; INDEED THEY ARE THE CORRUPTORS BUT THEY REALIZE IT NOT. QUR'AN 2:11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sisters must beware of marrying men who do not submit to the authority of an Imam. If there is no one who can advise a man to follow the Qur'an and Sunnah, then marrying him is dangerous.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Men in every city must stand up to this wife beating cult&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. These cultists oppress women and children and give Muslims a bad name. "&lt;strong&gt;Men are the protectors and maintainers of women" - Qur'an. &lt;/strong&gt;Be men. Protect the Sisters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;AND WHY SHOULD YOU NOT FIGHT IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH FOR THOSE OPPRESSED&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHOSE CRY IS " OUR LORD!

What ISNA is saying is that &lt;em&gt;yes, the Imam was a radical, criminal just like the feds say, but it's not his fault. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;There is a national flu scare in America. Many people are unsure of the safety of flu vaccines. Even doctors are questioning the vaccine. Nurses in New York refused to get vaccinated. There is direct evidence that the military /police force will be used to force vaccinations if deemed "neccesary." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;So what does the "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago" &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;do? They offer their advice:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;*"&lt;em&gt;Don't shake hands when giving the salaams, or peace greetings to each other;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Don't hug either;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Don't just get one flu shot, get two!

They do it all the time. In fact they seem to exist for only that purpose. &lt;/strong&gt;But it is distressing when an indigenous group like &lt;strong&gt;MANA&lt;/strong&gt; issues a statement about the "Fort Hood shootings" condemning the shooter as a murderer. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;If the shooter had gone to Iraq, like they were trying to send him, and he had shot Muslims, he would have been considered a hero by America ,and the immigrant sell outs would probably have made him the key note speaker at their countless conventions. Thousands of Muslims are dying daily, but there is no condemnation or outrage from the Muslim "leaders."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;But because Americans were killed, Muslim leaders feel the need to apologize and condemn someone without really knowing the situation. &lt;strong&gt;It is clear that Muslim leaders have&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;gotten the message from the feds&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Be silent and lull your people to sleep or we will kill you like we killed Malcolm and Imam Luqman or we will imprison you like we imprisoned Imam Jamil Al-Amin. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Prophet (upon whom be peace) said: "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;You get the leaders you deserve." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;So if our leaders are frightened cowards, it means that our community has become a community of frightened, brainwashed cowards&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Shortly after the time of the Prophet (upon whom be peace)there was a Muslim General who brought the Muslim army to the border of the great super power of the time, Persia. The Persian king called for a meeting with the general and tried to impress the general with the wealth and might possessed by the Persian empire. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;The general was not awed. Instead he replied, "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have men&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;with me who love death more than you love life&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;If we had the attitude and fortitude of those soldiers, our leaders could stand up to the world and be men instead of the pathetic mice we witness time and time again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-4813265217417187279?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/4813265217417187279/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/11/muslim-leaders-betray-their-people.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/4813265217417187279'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/4813265217417187279'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/11/muslim-leaders-betray-their-people.html' title='MUSLIM LEADERS BETRAY THEIR PEOPLE - AGAIN'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-5502145949107719780</id><published>2009-10-31T16:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T20:46:17.524-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Imam Luqman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslims in America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Detroit Muslim leader'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslim leader killed in shootout'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CAIR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslim unity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam in america'/><title type='text'>IMAM LUQMAN - A HERO</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Imam Luqman was gunned down by feds in Detroit. It is the fate that awaits all who dare reveal the truth. It is the fate of all who will not bow down to the beast. It is a glorious fate, not one to be feared. It is to be celebrated. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imam Luqman knew who the enemy is&lt;/strong&gt;. He knew how the enemy operates. When the feds come at you , there is no hope for justice. We've learned this for 400 years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imam Luqman knew that "appeals", "lawyers" "trials", "justice" "law and order" is a farce. A charade. There was no chance Imam Luqman would receive justice and he refused to play the game. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Imam Luqman chose death over slavery in America's prison colonies designed for Black men.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is clear that the Imam was targeted for death.  The usual procedure in such situations is to negotiate the surrender of the "suspect" when he is barricaded in a building.  The feds launched an attack with a dog a guns.  No waiting. No patience.  Because they knew what they came for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The responses are predictable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;1)The alphabet soup cowardly organizations like &lt;strong&gt;CAIR &lt;/strong&gt;have expressed that their only concern is that "&lt;em&gt;Islam be seperated from the criminal allegations against Imam&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Luqman&lt;/em&gt;." &lt;strong&gt;No outrage over Imam Luqman's murder&lt;/strong&gt;. CAIR just doesn't want to be associated with him. &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Their freakishly punk -behind remarks are designed to distance themselves from Imam Luqman.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Traitors always think that by siding with the oppressor they can work out some kind of deal for themselves&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. What traitors like CAIR don't realize is that they are as hated as the rest of us. Soon they will come for CAIR and the other sell-out organizations no matter how much they kiss up to massa. Soon they will come to take your bank accounts. They will come to take your freedom. They will come to take your life. And all your years of knuckle-draggin, "pro-democracy", "anti-extremist&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;" , "moderate" Barack-lovin, watered down Islam will avail you naught.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;2) Other cowards and hypocrites eat up the media's description of Imam Luqman and even join them in berating the Imam;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;3) "Law enforcement" officials and racist white supremists celebrate together;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;4) Hypocrite "Islamic" organizations and Imams make statements meant to appease the beast like "&lt;em&gt;Islam is for law and order&lt;/em&gt;." &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meanwhile the beast looks at their stupid behinds and laughs because all these traitors are doing is giving the feds permission to kill more of us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;5) Both the hypocrites and the well intentioned will call for a "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;thorough&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;investigation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;" into what happened. &lt;strong&gt;As if the very people who murdered the Imam will investigate fairly! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;This call for "investigation is no substitute for action, it merely soothes the conscious of the cowardly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;They can feel as though they have done something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;6) The feds will move on to their next target and the process will repeat itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-5502145949107719780?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/5502145949107719780/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/10/imam-luqman-hero.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/5502145949107719780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/5502145949107719780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/10/imam-luqman-hero.html' title='IMAM LUQMAN - A HERO'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-311013066955510642</id><published>2009-08-26T20:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-27T09:46:49.110-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='betrayal of immigrants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='homosexuality'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='immigrant Muslims'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='race relations in islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CAIR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blacks in islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christianity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MANA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='who speaks for Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam and democracy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICNA'/><title type='text'>THE QUR'AN:  A TOOL OF PACIFICATION???</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Christianity has historically had a different effect on whites than on Blacks. &lt;strong&gt;For whites, Christianity has been used to&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;empower the white race&lt;/strong&gt;. It was used to justify the enslavement of Blacks, the Black Holocaust, the murder of indigenous so called Native Americans, colonization of Africa, the theft of the resources of Africa, genocide, homicide, butchery, sadism, rape, plunder and every barbaric act known to man, rather, white man. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;But still, the white race prospered from their version of Christianity. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Conversely,&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Christianity has had a feminizing effect on Black men&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Christianity ensures that Black men will never rise up against the white man because the "god" of Christianity is white and Christianity teaches Black men to worship an effeminate looking white man. Of course there have been some Black Christians who maintained their manhood, such as &lt;strong&gt;Nat Turner&lt;/strong&gt;, a Black Christian minister who led perhaps the most fearsome insurrection against white supremacy. But for the most part, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Christianity has pacified Black men and taught them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;to turn the other cheek, obey massa, and look for their reward in the next life and leave everything in this life to massa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Homosexuality has had an opposite effect on Blacks and whites. When Black men think of homos we think of weak, effeminate, flaming fags who disgust our sensibilities but are relatively harmless to all except themselves. Wrong! Homosexuality for whites is their heritage. Whites claim that their greatest civilizations were the ancient &lt;strong&gt;greek&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;roman&lt;/strong&gt; civilizations. &lt;em&gt;The men in these "civilizations" were predominately bisexual with many being strictly homosexual&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Plato was a homosexual&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Zeus,&lt;/strong&gt; the main god of the greeks, is portrayed as a homosexual . &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;In particular, the greeks&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;and romans were boy lovers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pedophiles&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. I hope you don't think I'm making this up because it is very easy to research this for yourself. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Today, we are witnessing a return to the ancient ways of whites with the rise of homosexuality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Even though the forefathers of whites were flaming fags, they were &lt;strong&gt;aggressive fags!&lt;/strong&gt; That is, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they conquered other nations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and spread homosexuality worldwide&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Every nation that has come in contact with whites has seen the spread of homosexuality. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Now whites are spreading homosexuality again and they are spreading it &lt;strong&gt;aggressively&lt;/strong&gt;. It is being taught in the school books. It is being shown on PBS shows as being acceptable. It's on t.v. In the movies. In magazines. In legislation. In the church - well actually it never left the church. And homosexuals will not be satisfied until you and your family become homosexuals or at least accept homosexuality as an "alternative lifestyle." &lt;strong&gt;So homosexuality is a weapon of empowerment for whites.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Blacks, homosexuality is crippling&lt;/strong&gt;. It robs Black men of their manhood and will to resist white oppression. It leaves Black women without men and tempts the women to find love and companionship in lesbian relationships. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Many Black&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;women freely associate with homosexuals and defend the "rights"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;of fags and will attack you if you speak against&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;fags! Even though the rise of homosexuals is counter productive to the Black women's need and desire for Black men! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Black homosexuals are counter-revolutionaries and traitors to their race.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;A Black homosexual&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;will never support revolution against the capitalist, racist&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;republic because the capitalist, racist republic protects his&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;homosexual lifestyle&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;em&gt;A homosexual's main loyalty is not to his religion, race or tribe.  He is loyal first to his homosexuality&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;That brings us to the &lt;strong&gt;Qur'an.&lt;/strong&gt; The Qur'an has affected Blacks in America differently than others. The Companions of the Prophet used the Qur'an to conquer and benefit every one they encountered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today, Arabs, Pakistanis, whites and other immigrants use the Qur'an to mesmerize Blacks into humble submission while the&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;immigrants claim the spoils of&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;America for themselves&lt;/strong&gt;. The immigrants use the Qur'an to divert the attention of Black Muslims in America. They know that we love the Qur'an, so they recite it to us in beautiful Arabic and we dare not challenge their misinterpretation. They tell us "&lt;em&gt;Islam means peace&lt;/em&gt;" because they are afraid to upset the status quo, so we abandon jihad. They tell us to abandon polygyny because they are afraid of white censure that will interrupt their businesses. They tell us to love people that we know are our enemies: Arabs in Florida were instrumental in the first election of &lt;strong&gt;George W. Bush&lt;/strong&gt;. They waste our time and sentimentalities: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Behold ISNA and ICNA mourning the&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;death of senator ted kennedy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Behold our great Pakistani, Arab and white "leaders" convening in Washington to fight - &lt;strong&gt;malaria!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;No one can argue against the need to eradicate malaria but why is our organization &lt;strong&gt;MANA&lt;/strong&gt;, which was formed to address the issues of Black American Muslims, being duped into this malaria thing? Yes duped. Where will the money from this event go? It is well known that these "charities", especially as it relates to Africa, &lt;strong&gt;STEAL&lt;/strong&gt; the money and the people do not benefit. We know that much of the medicine sent there is tainted. Who will oversee the research for the cure and the distribution of medicine and is that really what we want from MANA?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Behold how&lt;strong&gt; ISNA&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;has boldly abandoned the moonsighting for Ramadan and Eid and they now proudly proclaim that they are using astronomical calculations. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Their PhD's have gone to their heads and they&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;now think they are prophets&lt;/em&gt;! They will quote, or rather misquote Qur'an in defense of their near apostasy and we go into a swoon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;The Arabs and Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have set up charities for us to send our money &lt;strong&gt;OVERSEAS&lt;/strong&gt; instead of here where our people need it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;The immigrants quote Qur'an and pacify us while &lt;strong&gt;our great&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;leaders have become tame after 911&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;What happened to our bold Imams that sold us their tapes and CD,s and brought to our feet with their rousing lectures and khutbah's? They have all been silenced. Their attention has been diverted to things like malaria, smoking, ted kennedy and licking the feet of obama. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The Qur'an has not motivated&lt;/span&gt; the Black American Muslim to challenge the system of unbelief. To challenge the enemies of Allah to debate. To present Islam in its purity to the masses without fear of rebuke from those who hate it. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who can forget the pitiful sight of the "great" American "shaykh" H.Y. being eaten alive in a debate with a CIA agent in the documentary "Who Speaks For Islam."  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The normally erudite "shaykh"  who hypnotizes Black Muslims with his command of the Arabic language and ability to quote hadeeth after hadeeth, was left&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;stuttering and speechless&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;before his fellow caucasian who debated in English and cared nothing for his Arabic prowess!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;The Qur'an has not moved Black Muslims to greatness. To victory. To mastery of the sciences . It has pacified us while others reap the spoils of America. Rather, the Qur'an has not pacified us, the Arab/Pakistani interpretation of the Qur'an has rendered us unconscious. We are asleep. Voting for this guy and that guy. Sending our money to Bangladesh and India. Becoming democrats. Abandoning the sunnah. Refusing to compete in a world of competition. Following instead of leading. Afraid of the blame of the blamers. Watering down Islam because we are afraid God's enemies may not "like" Islam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Abandoning the Qur'an and worshipping "shaykhs" who don't know us and don't care for us. Turning our backs on the hardworking Imams in our own locality who work for no salary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Seeking honor from those who hate Allah. The Qur'an dignifies, it does not disgrace. The Qur'an elevates, it does not make you subservient. The Qur'an empowers and does not enfeeble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-311013066955510642?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/311013066955510642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/08/quran-tool-of-pacification.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/311013066955510642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/311013066955510642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/08/quran-tool-of-pacification.html' title='THE QUR&apos;AN:  A TOOL OF PACIFICATION???'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-4564772472685049392</id><published>2009-08-15T08:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-18T06:40:28.566-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philadelphia sports fans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='michael vick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='racists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam in Philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philadelphia eagles'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nfl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lynching'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dog fighting'/><title type='text'>THE LYNCHING OF MICHAEL VICK</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;The sports fans in Philadelphia are rabid ever since the Eagles signed &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Michael Vick.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Their venom is spewed on racist sports talk stations. "&lt;em&gt;Vick should not be in the NFL." "Vick should still be in jail." "The Eagles should not have signed Vick&lt;/em&gt;." "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vick is&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;as bad as a pedophile&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;." &lt;strong&gt;Yes, a white lady caller said that Vick is as bad as a pedophile! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;It is a classic lynch mob mentality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. If you've studied lynching (as you should have) you see that lynching took place whenever a Black man was accused of a crime- whether he committed it or not was irrelevant to the lynch mob. The mob, which consisted of white men, women and children delighted at seeing a Black man tortured, hung and burned. Historical pictures show whites standing around burned bodies of Blacks. Even women and children are seen in the photos smiling at the Black corpses.&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;An excellent book to study is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Without Sanctuary&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, which explains the lynch mob mentality and contains dozens of actual photographs of lynchings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Whites take a particular delight in watching Black men die or suffer or suffer and then die. The white racists mask their racist hatred with cries for "&lt;em&gt;justice"&lt;/em&gt; and manufactured outrage at the alleged or actual crime of the Black victim. The whites scream, holler and foam at the mouth, spit flying, eyes bulging, faces crimson with indignation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oddly, whites rarely exhibit such outrage when a white man&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;or woman commits crimes&lt;/strong&gt;. White women kill their kids and the media calls it "post partum disorder" and covers her with sympathy. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;American Olympic swimming hero&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - whats-his- name- gets caught smoking marijuana and it's OK. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher &lt;strong&gt;Brett Myers&lt;/strong&gt; beat his wife in public with no cries for lynching or banning him from the &lt;strong&gt;Phillies.&lt;/strong&gt; White cops beat and murder Blacks. No outrage. Muslims tortured in Guantanamo.

Muslims should &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;get over&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the millions of Muslims killed in the last decade by the worldwide coalition of whites. Now Barack smiles and says forget about it- it's in the past. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;But whites can't get over the damage done to their beloved dogs - especially by a Black man. Vick must hang. He must crawl, dragging his tongue on the ground under the feet of the white man. He must beg for his forgiveness. He must never work again. He must beg in the streets for a living while his tormentors scowl in their imagined superiority. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;A quick investigation would reveal that many of the whites who want to lynch Vick are involved in child pornography, prostitution, adultery, homosexuality, alcoholism, drug use, drug dealing, shoplifting, hit and run automobile crashes, drunken driving, tax evasion, welfare fraud, bribery, abortion and illegal prescription drugs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;But the angry mob wants to lynch Michael Vick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-4564772472685049392?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/4564772472685049392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/08/lynching-of-michael-vick.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/4564772472685049392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/4564772472685049392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/08/lynching-of-michael-vick.html' title='THE LYNCHING OF MICHAEL VICK'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-3940883226616717889</id><published>2009-08-15T08:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-15T12:25:41.140-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POLICE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philadelphia police'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Police acquittal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BLACK COMMUNITY AFFAIRS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POLICE BRUTALITY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='criminal police'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police'/><title type='text'>THE POLICE CULT IN AMERICA AND ITS FOLLOWERS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;    &lt;strong&gt;  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The police in America are a cult&lt;/strong&gt;.  The police are high priests who are above prosecution and are free to inflict harm on any member of society with little fear of repercussion.  Of course, those harmed are usually Black.  The followers of this cult are the grand juries, district attorneys, media,  judges and brainwashed citizens who believe the police are here to  "maintain law and order."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;     If you watched Mel Gibson's movie &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;APOCOLYPTO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, you saw that the high priests were able to lop off heads and hurl them down the steps of the pyramids.  The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;people&lt;/span&gt; accepted that the priests were acting in the interest of the tribe! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;Today, the police beat, murder, rob, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;taser&lt;/span&gt; and disrespect Blacks and the followers cal it "&lt;em&gt;law and order&lt;/em&gt;."  Police are seen on videotape beating, stomping, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;tasering&lt;/span&gt; Blacks but district attorneys and grand juries tell us not to believe our lying eyes - or "&lt;em&gt;the tape doesn't tell the whole story&lt;/em&gt;."  Funny, but when a tape shows someone attacking a cop, it seems to tell the whole story then!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;    The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is the grand council that sees to it that any corrupt cop who gets caught murdering, beating or robbing someone is not prosecuted.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;    Most of the police cult followers were indoctrinated into the cult by television shows like "COPS" and countless other dramas where cops are shown violating peoples constitutional rights .  These shows make the followers believe that the cops are our friends and they stand for justice , or some other nonsense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;    &lt;strong&gt;It should be noted that &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;all cops are corrupt&lt;/span&gt; because they all belong to the police cult.  Please stop saying "&lt;em&gt;not all cops are dirty&lt;/em&gt;."  &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Please.&lt;/span&gt;  For the sake of your survival, Black Man and Woman, don't ever repeat that mantra, "not all cops are dirty" or "most cops are hard working and fair."  While all cops will not murder you or club you upside the head you must understand that, like any other cult, cops are sworn to a code of secrecy.  &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;A cop may not beat you but he will never testify against another cop that he sees beating/murdering you!&lt;/span&gt; Thus, ALL COPS ARE CORRUPT.&lt;/strong&gt;  Every cop who has testified in the past has faced mortal threat from the other police cult members.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;      &lt;strong&gt;The police cult is more powerful than mayors&lt;/strong&gt;.  Mayors, especially Black mayors rarely speak out strongly against the cult.  In Philadelphia, Former negro &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mayor Wilson&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Goode&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;said that the reason he did not personally go to the scene during the police cult's murder/arson during the MOVE fiasco was because he had &lt;strong&gt;learned that the police were planning to murder him and make it look as though a MOVE member had shot him! &lt;/strong&gt;This was reported in the Philadelphia Tribune.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;This negro mayor &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;was&lt;/span&gt; so afraid of the police cult that he kept quiet about their threats against his life!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;The police cult is more powerful than the Black President of the United States.  &lt;em&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; was forced to eat his initial words of outrage spoken against the corrupt cop cult of Cambridge,  Mass.  The racist cop cult member was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;rewarded&lt;/span&gt; for his racism with a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;meeting&lt;/span&gt; with the President. He become an instant celebrity.  The only one who stood their ground during the  Obama/ Gates "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;beerfest&lt;/span&gt;" was the cop cultist!  If Barack had any real power, this cop would have been directing traffic in the middle of the freeway for the rest of his career, or given some other unfavorable assignment!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;   &lt;strong&gt;The police cult is more powerful than the courts.  More powerful than the district attorney&lt;/strong&gt;.  They all cower in fear before the sinister FOP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;    &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;We Black men are going to have to meet very soon to decide what we are going to do to combat this cult.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-3940883226616717889?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/3940883226616717889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/08/police-cult-in-america-and-its.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/3940883226616717889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/3940883226616717889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/08/police-cult-in-america-and-its.html' title='THE POLICE CULT IN AMERICA AND ITS FOLLOWERS'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-5193751798294291084</id><published>2009-08-04T13:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T13:31:04.357-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POLICE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philadelphia police'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BEER GATE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GATES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POLICE BRUTALITY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police'/><title type='text'>OBAMA AND GATES: STEP N FETCHIT</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;President Obama and Skip Gates owe me.  They owe all the Black people in this country that have been and will be beaten, harassed and killed by racist police and negro police who follow the lead of their racist masters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;   Obama and gates had a golden opportunity to shine the light on the brutal police roaches.  They could have made it a national and even an international issue.  But they ran and hid, and skinned and grinned at the command of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;white terrorists&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;  Yes, &lt;strong&gt;TERRORISTS.&lt;/strong&gt;  Skip Gates said he received death threats.  Obama was threatened with the disfavor of white folks who said they "&lt;em&gt;did not approve of his handling of the affair."  &lt;/em&gt;These negroes were terrorized out of their initial righteous and  manly approaches to police bullying.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt; Some say Gates "&lt;em&gt;went overboard&lt;/em&gt;" because he was "&lt;strong&gt;belligerent"&lt;/strong&gt; to the officer.  To be &lt;em&gt;belligerent&lt;/em&gt; means to be hostile or aggressive. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gates was not being aggressive, he was&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;being defensive&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt; Defensive towards the unwarranted home invasion of the police.  It was the cop who was&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;belligerent&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;What the cop really felt was that Gates was being "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;uppity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;" and didn't know "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;his place"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and made too much &lt;strong&gt;eye contact&lt;/strong&gt;  for the cops liking.   In other words, he reacted like a man.  Obama initially reacted like a man. Then they folded like cowards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;  &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Gates and Obama owed  it to the &lt;strong&gt;children of the MOVE&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;bombing&lt;/strong&gt; in Philadelphia to pursue this case.  They owed it to &lt;strong&gt;Dante Dawson&lt;/strong&gt; who was gunned down in his vehicle by police in Philadelphia, though he was unarmed and committing no crime.  They owed it to &lt;strong&gt;Amadou Diallo&lt;/strong&gt;, shot over 40 times by racist New York cops.  They owed it to &lt;strong&gt;Abner Louima&lt;/strong&gt;, who had the infamous plunger thrust into his rectum by the same New York cops.  They owed it to the &lt;strong&gt;store owners in&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Philadelphia &lt;/strong&gt;who were robbed by the police. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Instead Obama and Gates put on a skinning and grinning, Step N Fetch It, can't -we -all -just -get- along minstrel show.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-5193751798294291084?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/5193751798294291084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/08/obama-and-gates-step-n-fetchit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/5193751798294291084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/5193751798294291084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/08/obama-and-gates-step-n-fetchit.html' title='OBAMA AND GATES: STEP N FETCHIT'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-7592077481244114335</id><published>2009-07-31T18:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-31T19:04:12.223-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BEER GATE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GATES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Police terror'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='police'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cambridge police'/><title type='text'>BARACK IS LOSING HIS MIND</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#003300;"&gt;I could not believe my eyes when they showed me that Obama had actually had a beer with &lt;em&gt;Uncle Tom&lt;/em&gt; Skip Gates and the racist cop who showed the Uncle Tom his true status in America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#003300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#003300;"&gt;   The only beneficiaries of this beer-summit was the racist,  Klansman-looking cop and his Nazi-like fellow officers throughout the country.  By meeting with this &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pig&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (yes, we need to bring back that language) , &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Obama let this racist off the hook&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.  Obama is saying "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;just forget about it. Let it go.  It's in the past. GET OVER IT&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;."  Black people are always told to "get over it."  Forgive our tormentors.  Turn the other cheek.

It was a chance to take a look at the pathetic negro slave master- loving cops who also stood by the Grand Dragon, I mean officer.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#003300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#003300;"&gt; But this opportunity has been squashed by your president.  White folks told Obama that they were not happy with his comments about the Klan, I mean police force.  They do not want Obama speaking about "Black" issues unless he's lecturing Blacks about "being responsible".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#003300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#003300;"&gt;Obama obeyed his masters yet again.

This year it was held in Philadelphia. It was a spectacular, magnificent event hosted by a core of hard working, dedicated Muslims. It was easily superior to any of the conferences held by the alphabet soup organizations. The camaraderie, sportsmanship and love was overwhelming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Missing as usual were the Arab, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;other immigrant communities&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Not that they were needed. It was they who needed to be present, not us who needed their presence. They are always invited. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;But rather than attend the Riyaadah, the immigrants organized a counter-Riyaadah called the "Islamic Games." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;The "&lt;em&gt;Islamic Games&lt;/em&gt;" is a &lt;strong&gt;copy cat&lt;/strong&gt; event designed to imitate the Riyaadah. The founders of the Games asked the Muslim leadership in Philadelphia to support the Games. Of course we cooperated, as we always do, by having our people participate with manpower and money. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;When we asked the "Games" people to support the Riyaadah, they refused - like they always&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Islamic Games founder(s) also publish a newspaper called the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tri-State Muslim. The publishers of the paper refused to run any ads publicising the Riyaadah&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;It is clear that too many of our immigrant brothers are &lt;strong&gt;racist &lt;/strong&gt;and, as one Imam stated, "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The immigrants see the indigenous Muslims as merely a commodity- a group to make money from without offering anything in return."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So here we go&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Some of you are going to call &lt;strong&gt;ME&lt;/strong&gt; a racist!&lt;/em&gt; All I am doing is informing you of the truth of what is going on because &lt;strong&gt;it pains me to see my people being used like&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;prostitutes.&lt;/strong&gt; No, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;even worse than prostitutes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; because it can be argued that that user of prostitutes gets something in return for his money. You , my brothers and sisters, give your money to the immigrants in their clothing stores, conferences, Great Adventure Days, Islamic Games, "halal meat stores" (many of which are not really halal!) etc. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;BUT YOU GET NOTHING IN RETURN!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;AND IF ANY OF YOUR BROTHERS POINT THIS OUT YOU ATTACK YOUR BROTHER WHO I S TRYING TO WAKE YOU UP! YOU ARE WORSE THAN PROSTITUTES BECAUSE A PROSTITUTE WILL NOT GET ANGRY WHEN CALLED A PROSTITUTE. SHE KNOWS SHE IS BEING USED! &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;BUT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;MANY OF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;YOU, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, DON'T KNOW AND DON'T WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE BEING PIMPED!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;But it was a beautiful weekend and much good was accomplished and it was magnificently organized.

By condemning Iran, a nation he had previously offered to dialogue with, Obama has bowed to Republicans who demanded that Obama speak out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;First, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;how can Obama condemn police beatings in Iran when right here in America the police beat and shoot Black people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;daily&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?   In Philadelphia, New York, Boston and every other city the police treat Blacks in an inhuman, disrespectful, brutal, homicidal fashion.  Sometimes it gets caught on videotape.  Most of the time it isn't.  Why doesn't our illustrious president speak about that?  It's happening right now in Washington D.C, so he doesn't have to look very far.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Also, notice how Barack bowed down to his masters when they told him.  He claimed to be independent of the Republicans (&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;read:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;White corporations who really run America&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;), yet in the end he obeyed.  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;He will always obey &lt;em&gt;massa&lt;/em&gt;.

When you tell Muslims, particularly Black Muslims, about the great history of Black Africans in Islam, they call you a racist. &lt;strong&gt;"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No, brutha, you see , there is no racism in zeee Islam. In Islam we do not uhhh, speak about zeee race, "&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;they say in their best Arab accent - even though they were born and raised in North Philadelphia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;But if you talk about the issues facing Muslims in Palestine it's okay. Likewise, it's fine to talk about the situations of Muslims in, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Pakistan, Egypt and Arabia. But if we talk about the issues of Black Muslims in America and our history - our own people call us racist! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;If we talk about our fantastic history of contributions to Islam, not only do immigrants dislike it, but immigrant-trained Black Muslims hate it too. (See previous blog &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;BEYOND BILAL&lt;/span&gt; for further details about the great contributions of Blacks to Islam).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;But check this out: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Those same Muslims who call us racists are blindly, fanatically, religiously in absolute love with Barak Obama - just because he's Black!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;These Barack lovers ignore the fact that America is killing Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan even as you read this! While Barack is giving great speeches, his troops are killing civilians in Pakistan and Afghanistan right now! &lt;strong&gt;The Barack lovers have ignored Islamic teachings about THE RELIGION OF DEMOCRACY &lt;/strong&gt;(See previous blog: &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;NONVOTING: A TOOL OF EMPOWERMENT FOR MUSLIMS) . &lt;/span&gt;These Muslims have &lt;strong&gt;ignored&lt;/strong&gt; their own religion, their own Qur'an, their own Prophet (&lt;em&gt;upon whom be peace&lt;/em&gt;), the teachings of Malcolm X (remember "House Negro" vs. Field Negro"?) and the holocaust being suffered by their fellow believers - &lt;strong&gt;just because Barack is black&lt;/strong&gt;! &lt;blockquote&gt;The Messenger of Allah, (&lt;em&gt;upon whom be peace&lt;/em&gt;) taught that it is not&lt;br /&gt;racism that you love your tribe. Rather, it is racism when your tribe is&lt;br /&gt;on the side of wrong and you support them anyway. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So I ask: WHO ARE THE REAL RACIST MUSLIMS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-1539185680145785836?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/1539185680145785836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-are-real-racist-muslims.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/1539185680145785836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/1539185680145785836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-are-real-racist-muslims.html' title='WHO ARE THE REAL RACIST MUSLIMS???'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-8448569408164242144</id><published>2009-05-25T17:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-25T19:56:15.580-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POLICE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philadelphia police'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BLACK COMMUNITY AFFAIRS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POLICE BRUTALITY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sylvester johnson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POLICE INJUSTICE'/><title type='text'>WHY BLACK PEOPLE HATE POLICE</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Black people hate the police because all police are corrupt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Without exception&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Even if a cop does not necessarily commit crimes, he most certainly will not arrest or tell on another cop who beats, murders, robs, plants evidence or lies in court. Black people are quite familiar with the Blue Wall of Silence. &lt;em&gt;(These same cops will tell the community to "snitch", yet cops never "snitch on each other.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;The function of the police in the Black community is to write traffic tickets. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;If you go down to traffic court on any day of the week at any time you will see that 90% of the defendants are Black! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Cops do not arrest slumlords. Cops do not arrest the Korean 40 oz. malt liquor dealers or the Korean drug paraphernalia sellers. Cops cannot arrest bankers who redline the Black community. Somehow, cops can't seem to arrest those who ship drugs into the Black community. Cops cannot arrest the officals who turn off people's water , gas and electricity. Cops do not arrest the white-controlled school district teachers who mis-educate our youth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;The sole purpose of cops is to keep the Black community oppressed. Period. The increase in Black cops has led to an increase in Blacks in jail and in traffic court. There is no benefit to the Black community from the police. There is only harm, distrust, hatred and disrespect from cops. That's why Black people hate cops.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;A Muslim should never become a cop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt; A Muslim is a representative of the righteous way of life known as Islam. Islam is in direct opposition to the evil of this society. A cop is the protector of this society. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;When a Muslim becomes a cop, he becomes one of "them." A Muslim cop loses the trust that Black people have historically put in Muslims. Some of the greatest revolutionaries and Black leaders have either been Muslims or been influenced by Muslims.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Muslim, you cannot change the system from within. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;You&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;cannot change a brothel by becoming&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;a prostitute&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Look at the former police commissioner &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;sylvester johnson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;em&gt;capital letters omitted purposely because we hold&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;this negro in&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;utter contempt&lt;/em&gt;). He was allegedly a Muslim. While "&lt;em&gt;in the&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;system&lt;/em&gt;" he defended the right of a trans sexual cop to remain on the police gang, I mean force; he defended the right of a corrupt police supervisor to return to work after getting drunk, smashing his police car and falsifying a police report to cover his actions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Then this "Muslim" commissioner fought against the Muslim cops who wanted to maintain some Islamic identity by wearing a beard and khimar. In fact, it was the traitor johnson's testimony in court that defeated the attempt by a Muslim lady cop to wear a khimar while on duty. The court reasoned that "since johnson is a "Muslim" then there is no discrimination occuring on the police force. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;The stooge johnson was used as a willing tool to oppress Muslims when he could have opened the door for Muslims to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;practice their religion more freely&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;n the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;department&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;s&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ylvester johnson is the biggest Uncle Tom since wilson goode. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;So you can't change the system from within because the system makes you a Tom. &lt;em&gt;Or maybe the Toms are attracted to the system.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-8448569408164242144?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/8448569408164242144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/05/why-black-people-hate-police.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/8448569408164242144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/8448569408164242144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/05/why-black-people-hate-police.html' title='WHY BLACK PEOPLE HATE POLICE'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-6625917796726146816</id><published>2009-05-25T04:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-25T05:00:10.787-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='salam&apos;s pizza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hypocrites'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslims in America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boycott'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslims in philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslim unity'/><title type='text'>BOYCOTT ARAB BUSINESSES THAT DON'T SUPPORT THE ISLAMIC COMMUNITY</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;O PROPHET, STRIVE HARD AGAINST THE UNBELIEVERS AND THE HYPOCRITES  Quran 9:73&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;The immigrant businesses that take the money from the Black Muslims of America but give nothing back must be &lt;strong&gt;boycotted&lt;/strong&gt;.

Instead what we see from MANA is a recent condemnation of a supposed plot to blow up a jewish synagogue in New York.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Frankly, we, the indigenous ( read "Black"), rank and file Believers don't care about anybody's synagogue&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.  We are not walking around crying about the Jews.  Likewise , the Jews are not crying about us.  When the Jews feel the need to condemn their murder of the people of Palestine, perhaps we will be concerned with their synagogue safety.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;We do not look for our leaders to apologize every time massa tells them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.   Oddly, these same Jews that MANA feels so concerned about: if their leader needed a mere $125,000 they would raise it. Immediately. Within hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;The immigrant community has pimped the Black Muslim community for decades.  &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They suck our money up at all of their conventions, Islamic Games, Great Adventure Days,&lt;/strong&gt; fundraisers etc.  &lt;/span&gt;They have hidden behind they net of safety that Black Muslims established in this country.   But they have given back only  a few smiles and token assistance.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;While no official from MANA will publicly say this, and they may even condemn me, privately, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;they all know it's true&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.  And the immigrants abandonment of Imam Siraj in his time of need is a sign that, while their is no racism in Islam, there are racist Muslims.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;We Muslims in America had better start respecting our true, uncompromising leaders, supporting them and protecting them because no one else will.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;Will MANA fulfill its mission or will it be another &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;sell-out, condemn -the -Muslims&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;appease- the - Jews&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;things-are getting- better&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pacification, counter&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;revolutionary, beggar organization&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;beholden to the enemies of Allah?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-8040782686076676047?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/8040782686076676047/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/05/mana-how-pakistanis-and-arabs-have-used.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/8040782686076676047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/8040782686076676047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/05/mana-how-pakistanis-and-arabs-have-used.html' title='MANA: HOW THE PAKISTANIS AND ARABS HAVE USED AND BETRAYED THE INDIGENOUS MUSLIM COMMUNITY OF AMERICA'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-1917076951292522161</id><published>2009-04-19T19:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-19T19:42:51.132-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UN conference on racism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='israel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam in america'/><title type='text'>OBAMA: SLANDERING THE PROPHET IS OK, BUT DON'T TALK BAD ABOUT ISRAEL</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;President Obama has refused to attend the UN conference on racism.  His stated reason is that he expects the conference will call for censure against Zionism and a ban against insults to the Prophet Muhammad and Islam.  He said the language of such a conference is "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;objectionable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" and that it &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;violates the principle of free speech&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two things are very clear from Obama's statement:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Slandering the Messenger of Allah is "free speech": and&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Saying anything bad about Israel and Zionism is  "objectionable&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;While this may astound the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama-loving Muslims&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; who have been &lt;strong&gt;duped&lt;/strong&gt; by his blackness, it is no amazement to those who heard Obama declare that "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;the relationship between the US and Israel is sacrosanct&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;."  To be clear, sacrosanct means "untouchable, sacred, holy."  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Israel is sacred.  The Prophet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Muhammad is not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, according to Obama.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;Remember that next time the White House invites your sell-out, compromised  Muslim "leaders" to have tea with the president.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;Also, what needs to be discussed: &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;what are the implications of a Black President who refuses to attend an international conference on racism?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-1917076951292522161?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/1917076951292522161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-slandering-prophet-is-ok-but-dont.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/1917076951292522161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/1917076951292522161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-slandering-prophet-is-ok-but-dont.html' title='OBAMA: SLANDERING THE PROPHET IS OK, BUT DON&apos;T TALK BAD ABOUT ISRAEL'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-5651746751204425591</id><published>2009-04-17T21:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-17T21:28:16.500-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslim blood cheap'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='torture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ISNA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaytuna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama absolves CIA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICNA'/><title type='text'>MUSLIM BLOOD IS LAWFUL!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Today, President Obama declared that it is perfectly fine to torture Muslims.

And of course he said it after his famous (infamous) statement that the U.S. - Israel relationship is "&lt;em&gt;sacrosanct". &lt;strong&gt;Did he say his relationship with Muslims was sacrosanct?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;Naturally, all of the alphabet soup, sell out organizations like &lt;strong&gt;CAIR, ISNA, ICNA&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;MSA, MANA, MAS&lt;/strong&gt; etc. will proclaim Barak's statement to be some type of great step forward in Islamic - U.S. relations. This is because the leaders of these organizations want to have their pictures taken with the president and be invited to the White House for tea - while the US continues to kill Muslims and fight against the Muslims in Somalia who brought stability to the land after years of fighting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;These sell-outs should remember that George Bush made similar comments about his respect for Islam, even as he killed Muslims!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;The obvious motive of the White House is to divide and conquer the Muslims and  to get the greedy traitors to help the US fight against Muslims who stand up for the dignity of Islam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-7022300245553090301?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/7022300245553090301/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/04/muslims-fooled-again-this-time-by-obama.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/7022300245553090301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/7022300245553090301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/04/muslims-fooled-again-this-time-by-obama.html' title='MUSLIMS FOOLED AGAIN!

Not because the mayor attempted to get the Muslims to just let the whole thing slide.  It was surprising because of some of the other attendees of the meeting.  Among them were Imams who never meet with the Muslims! Yet here they are with the mayor!.  &lt;em&gt;Some of these absolutely bowed down to&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;the mayor and refused to challenge his attempt to whitewash the situation&lt;/em&gt;.  &lt;strong&gt;One prominent Muslim  professional smiled dutifully throughout the meeting and laughed on cue at all of the mayors corny jokes&lt;/strong&gt;.  I thought the negro was gonna do a tap dance! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;Some of the Muslims appeared to be seeking a contract with the mayor rather than addressing the issue.  I still don't know why the Arab leader was present, since the issue specifically concerned African American Muslim men.  Again, this Arab leader is never present when the Muslim leadership meets.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;I told the mayor that he needs to show concern and visit the citizens who are shot in &lt;em&gt;killadelphia&lt;/em&gt;, instead of just visiting police officers who are shot.  I told him that when police officers are shot 100 police respond, doors are kicked in, people are rounded up, rights are violated and a suspect is produced and deemed guilty within hours.  But we don't see this level of police concern when  "regular" people are shot. He became visibly annoyed with me and  when I wouldn't accept his beating around the bush, non-answers, one slave negro sitting next to me told me I need to be "patient." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;What a strange meeting!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-279196197066595226?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/279196197066595226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/03/philadelphia-police-commissioner-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/279196197066595226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/279196197066595226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/03/philadelphia-police-commissioner-and.html' title='Philadelphia Police Commissioner and Mayor Slander Muslims'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-5197488739005422442</id><published>2009-01-19T14:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-22T18:01:11.399-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='msa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ISNA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='moors in islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='race relations in islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CAIR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blacks in islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam in america'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='african history and islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICNA'/><title type='text'>Beyond Bilal: Contributions of Blacks To Islam</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;    &lt;em&gt; Most Muslims, when asked about the contributions of Blacks to Islam can only talk about the great Companion Bilal. It is an article of faith in Islam that no race of people is superior to another. However, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;there has been a concerted effort to erase the contributions of Blacks to Islam.&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;This effort has resulted in a negative perception of Blacks by immigrants to America and has caused Blacks to disrespect themselves and their leaders and to lack confidence in their own potential. Since you can't do great things unless you know you have done great things in the past, and with a view to uplift our own image of ourselves so that we can compete in the world, we present some of the great Blacks in the history of Islam:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hajar:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Wife of the Prophet Ibrahim. The Prophet Ismail, son of Ibrahim is regarded as the father of the Arabs. Ismail's mother, Hajar, was an African woman. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thus all&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Arabs are descendants of a Black woman&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;! Indeed, Dr. Bertraim Thomas, former Prime Minister to the Sultan of Muscat and Oman wrote: "&lt;em&gt;The original inhabitants of Arabia...were not the familiar Arabs of our time, but a very much&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;darker people&lt;/em&gt;." Quoted in Story of The Moors In Spain by Stanley Lane-Poole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Zayd Ibn Harithah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Zayd, a Black African, has the distinction as the only companion of the Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be peace) who is mentioned by name in the Holy Qur'an! (Qur'an 33:37). He was one of the first 5 converts o Islam and died as a martyr.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Usaamah Bin Zayd Ibn Harithah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; He was the son of the previously mentioned Zayd Bnin Harithah. Zayd was honored by he Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in a way that other companions envied: Zayd was given command of an army that fought against the mighty Byzantine empire. This Muslim army included Abu Bakr Siddique, Umar and Uthman. &lt;strong&gt;Zayd was commander over these eminent&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;companions&lt;/strong&gt;! At the time Zayd was only 18 years old! Some of the companions protested Zayd's appointment. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Prophet himself silenced those who protested&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;! Zayd helped wash the body of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) upon his death.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Luqman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This wise African man has the 31st chapter of the Qur'an named after him!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Askia Muhammad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This African king of the 15Th century established the Songhai Empire as the largest in West African history. He rapidly established trade with Europe and Asia and established many institutions of learning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Moors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The Moors were North African Muslims who conquered Spain and ruled it for 600 years. The Moors brought astronomy, architecture, medicine,mathematics, street lights and cleanliness to Europe and rescued Europe from the dark Ages. The Moors established bathing facilities for the Europeans who believed it was a sin to wash. The unsanitary habits of the Europeans brought measles, mumps and polio to the world.&lt;strong&gt;Many modern Muslim writers have attempted to distort history by portraying the Moors as white skinned! &lt;/strong&gt;Far too much evidence proves that the Moors were Black. &lt;strong&gt;All the writers of that era described the Moors as Black&lt;/strong&gt;. The word "moor" means "black" in Latin. Shakespeare's &lt;strong&gt;Othello &lt;/strong&gt;is a Moor and Shakespeare portrayed his as black. The Philadelphia Art Museum has ancient pictures of the Moors as Black people including a famous picture of a Black Moorish chief.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Mansa Musa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This 14Th century African king was a great benefactor of Islamic scholarship. He is famous for his pilgrimage to Mecca which awakened the world to the stupendous wealth of the Kingdom of Mali. His caravan included 60,000 men, 100 camels with 300 pounds of gold each, 500 slaves each carrying a 4 pound staff of solid gold. So much gold did Mansa Musa give away that he destabilized the economy in several countries! The Kingdom of Mali had an advanced level of urban living compared with the relative backwardness of Europe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Uthman Dan Fodi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This famous African scholar of scholars led a jihad in northern Nigeria in the early 19th century that created an Islamic empire 180,00 square miles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Muhammad Ahmad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Though most Muslims dispute the claim that he was the "Mahdi", none can dispute the fact that while Britain had colonized much of the Arab world, Muhammad Ahmad led a jihad in 1881 against the British General Gordan and established Sudan as an independent state.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Black Muslims of America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;! There can be no doubt that Blacks have always been the backbone of the Islamic movement in America. Too many of our people have fought police batons, police dogs, judges, courts and been killed and/or imprisoned in order to make it safe for Muslims to wear veils, khimars, throbes, beards, have Islamic names, masjids and be respected in America, while many immigrants cowered in fear. No Islamic organization could effectively or safely exist in America without the previous efforts of Blacks. Not Cair, &lt;span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;ISNA&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;MSA&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;ICNA&lt;/span&gt;, OR ANY OTHER GROUP COULD HAVE GROWN WITHOUT THE EFFORTS OF Blacks NOR WILL THEY SURVIVE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF Blacks! SO LET US BE RECOGNIZED AND RESPECTED. AND MOST IMPORTANT: LET US RESPECT OURSELVES.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-5197488739005422442?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/5197488739005422442/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/01/beyond-bilal-contributions-of-blacks-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/5197488739005422442'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/5197488739005422442'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2009/01/beyond-bilal-contributions-of-blacks-to.html' title='Beyond Bilal: Contributions of Blacks To Islam'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-5726814360518594441</id><published>2008-12-29T20:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-29T20:37:50.618-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslims in America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='israeli attacks on gaza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ISNA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AMA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims for Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CAIR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MAS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MANA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICNA'/><title type='text'>Muslim Obama Lovers: Are You Happy?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;At this time, the rogue nation called Israel is bombing Gaza.

Voting does not change the economic, educational, medical or social standing of Black people in America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;It is often argued that non-voting is a type of apathy.  &lt;strong&gt;Actually, voting is apathy&lt;/strong&gt;! By voting you are throwing in the towel and going along with the flow.  The non voter shows far more courage because he refuses to go along with patriotic slogans and illogical rhetoric.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;The time and money spent on political organizing could be spent on non political alternatives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;Asians and Indians have made remarkable strides without any electoral empowerment.  Koreans control the economy of many Black neighborhoods and have more access to the mayor than Blacks even though Koreans have not voted in large numbers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;Elections silence any revolutionary fervor.  Potential "malcontents" are sucked into the safe activity of "participating in the system."  For instance, many Black radicals of the 1960's were "cooled out" by giving them a "piece of the action."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;The majority of Americans don't vote.  Americans have given up on the political system because they know its participants are corrupt liars.   When Muslims participate in such a system, they lose credibility among those who know the truth. Thus, the voting Muslims betray the people that they are supposed to be helping.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:130%;"&gt;Non voting is a declaration of independence from the taghoot and it may free us from blame before our Lord Almighty Allah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;Suggested further reading:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;Holy Qur'an 39:17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dissenting Electorate: Those Who Refuse To Vote and the Legitimacy Of Their Opposition&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;by Carl Watner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-6147569327021150751?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/6147569327021150751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2008/12/non-voting-tool-of-empowerment-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/6147569327021150751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/6147569327021150751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2008/12/non-voting-tool-of-empowerment-for.html' title='Non Voting: A Tool Of Empowerment For Muslims'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-6454051694138142970</id><published>2008-12-22T15:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-22T16:00:55.311-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam in Philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islamic progress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='majlis ash shura of philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='race relations in islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslims in philadelphia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslim unity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam in america'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><title type='text'>The Pathology of Muslims In Philadelphia</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;Some of the problems of Muslims in Philadelphia are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imams &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;           Imams are largely fundraisers.  Each Imam is like an island unto himself, or so he behaves as such.  He is too busy "getting his own community in order" to join the organized unity effort known as the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Majlis Ash Shura of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;He is too busy to meet with the other imams and help plan the affairs of the Muslims.  Perhaps he attended a few times and made a suggestion but his suggestion was not given priority by other imams. Like a crybaby, he gets angry and never comes back.  Yet these same imams tell their organizations to be tolerant of them even if they disagree with the imam! These imams are so used to having the final word in their organizations that they cannot bear it when other leaders disagree.  Some imams are too afraid to openly express whatever grievence they have out of fear that they may be proven wrong.  Whatever the reason for non participation, it is not valid.  Ask your imam "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;why are you not a part of the unified effort?"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;    &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Racism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;           Immigrant Muslims have distanced themselves from Black Muslims.  Even African Muslims are no better!  Whether they are Saudis, Bangledeshis, Pakistanis, Lebeneese, Palestinians, Algerians, Egyptians, Nigerians, Sudanese, Albanians, Afghans, Iraqis, Kashmiris, Liberians, Tunisians or whoever, they have effectively isolated themselves from the indigenous Muslims.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;               Oddly, you see these groups bowing down before the white man and seeking their favor and approval, yet they reject the love and brotherhood shown to them by the indigenous Black Muslim.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;            There is a "Palestinian" masjid that gives the Friday Sermon (Khutbah) in all Arabic - in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;North Philadelphia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - an area full of Blacks! &lt;strong&gt;Yet they gladly speak English for white dignitaries and politicians.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;           Some of our immigrant brothers love to join hands with the Jews and have peace marches to synagogues.  That's fine.  But these same brothers are too busy to work with those who really love them.  They are fond of interfaith dialogue but lacking in intra-faith dialogue!  We could never go to their countries and ignore the struggle and plight of the Muslims in, say, Palestine, Iraq, etc.  Yet this is what our immigrant "brothers" do.  Our sisters report the foul treatment and cold shoulders they receive from the immigrant "sisters."   Our children report the discrimination they receive in immigrant-run schools.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Our immigrant friends must realize that&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;All praises belong to Allah;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;Unity is a command from Allah, not an option;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;It was the indigenous brothers and sisters that made it safe for them to be Muslims in America.  We fought to make it ok to wear a khimar and thobe and beard.  And the only reason you are not looked upon as totally alien in America and chased out is because of the bravery of the elder indigenous Black Muslims who fought to establish Islam in America long before you arrived.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Muslim Media&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;     The Muslim media includes radio shows, magazines, newspapers, newsletters etc.  They are capitulating and obsequious with the same old tired &lt;em&gt;"everyone- is- our - friend , Muslims - are - just - like - everyone - one -else, Muslims - like - to - line dance, Islam - is the- same - as - democracy, vote- for - Barack, be- a- part- of- the -system, don't - make- politicians - angry,  sell - your -soul- to - the- devil- so- that- the -enemies- of- God- will - like you&lt;/em&gt;" drivel that makes them unbearable to conscious Muslims who love Islam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5166082881992532341-6454051694138142970?l=smashthechains.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/feeds/6454051694138142970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2008/12/pathology-of-muslims-in-philadelphia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/6454051694138142970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5166082881992532341/posts/default/6454051694138142970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smashthechains.blogspot.com/2008/12/pathology-of-muslims-in-philadelphia.html' title='The Pathology of Muslims In Philadelphia'/><author><name>Imam Isa Mateen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09643561634920981843</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tC9Zp9mN1BA/SjEgvk3rLmI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/ctwbycNWrqo/S220/guns5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166082881992532341.post-6895355701605777078</id><published>2008-12-21T17:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-21T18:04:17.095-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mayor Nutter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fire Department Cuts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nutter&apos;s Cuts'/><title type='text'>Philadelphia Mayor Nutter Pulls A Fast One</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;Philly Mayor Michael (&lt;em&gt;Mix Master Mike&lt;/em&gt;) Nutter is cutting  fire department service, closing libraries and pools because he has suddenly discovered the city  is in a deficit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;Since Nutter was a councilmen for years, he had to know the financial status of the city.
