THE NEW TRICK OF THE ARABS IN PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY

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. The Arabs are here to make money. Period. 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. 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! The Arabs supported George Bush -that says it all!

Now it has reached the stage where the Arabs not only distance themselves from us but now they actively work to undermine the efforts of the Black Muslim indigenous community. The latest trick of the Arabs is to form a NEW Majlis Ash Shura and give it another name. 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!

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. Unfortunately some of the indigenous Imams have joined on to this cause and allowed themselves to be used. An Arab is the head of this fake majlis. 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?

There can be no doubt that this fake majlis will pursue such aims as abolishing the moonsighting, back room deals with politicians and other sell-out, shameful compromises to further their cowardly, materialistic agenda.

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.

Correction: We are 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 Council of Islamic Organizations of Pennsylvania (CIOPA). It is interesting that some of the Black Imams that have joined the Arab led CIOPA could not find it in their hearts to fullfil their commitment to the Majlis Ash Shura .
Maybe if the Majlis had an Arab leader instead of a Black leader, those indigenous Imams would honor their promise.

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 islationism , Arab supremacy, double dealing and sabotage .

Seemingly, the "CIOPA" is formed in the image of the CIOGC - Council of Islamic Organizaions of Greater Chicago- CIOGC. The CIOGC is another 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."

CONFRONTING THE WIFE- BEATER CULT

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. They entered the masjid as if they wanted a violent confrontation. They began screaming at the sister saying, "you shouldn't be here."

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.

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. 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. And since the husband was not freeing her, they said, I have no right to intervene. Allah says about the wife beaters:
THE HYPOCRITES ARE ALL ALIKE: THEY ENCOURAGE EVIL AND FORBID GOODNESS QUR'AN 9:67

I told them to stop lying on Islam and stop lying to the sister. The friend of the wife beater, who had so much "knowledge", then asked me for "daleel" - Islamic evidence that a woman can free herself from an abusive relationship. Seriously. He actually wanted to debate this issue!

The negro started to speak Arabic as if that made his position valid! Like all hypocrites: 'THEY SEEK TO PLEASE YOU WITH THEIR SPEECH - QUR'AN SURAH MUNAFIQUN:4


They would not sit down and talk, seeking to intimidate me. Little did they realize the fury and justice that would have been unleashed upon them had they acted upon their veiled threats. Then, a brother from masjid security arrived. Now the wife beater and his friend were facing something they had obviously never seen before - two men willing to defend a sister.

Fools like this can be found in every city. They are "Muslims" who beat and abuse women - The wife beater cult. They do not belong to any masjid because they claim that no Imam has any "knowledge". Allah says about these hypocrites: 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

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. WHEN THE HYPOCRITES ARE TOLD TO STOP SPREADING CORRUPTION THEY SAY, "WE ARE ONLY TRYING TO FIX THINGS" (Today they say, "We only want to spread the Sunnah "!) INDEED THEY ARE THE CORRUPTORS BUT THEY REALIZE IT NOT. QUR'AN 2:11-12

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.

Men in every city must stand up to this wife beating cult. These cultists oppress women and children and give Muslims a bad name. "Men are the protectors and maintainers of women" - Qur'an. Be men. Protect the Sisters.

AND WHY SHOULD YOU NOT FIGHT IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH FOR THOSE OPPRESSED
MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHOSE CRY IS " OUR LORD! RESCUE US FROM THIS PLACE WHOSE PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSORS, AND RAISE UP FROM YOU ONE WHO WILL PROTECT US, AND RAISE UP FROM YOU ONE WHO WILL HELP." QUR'AN 4:75

THE SPECTACULAR MUSLIMS OF PHILADELPHIA AND THOSE WHO HATE THEM

The "Riyaadah" is an annual Islamic athletic event held in various cities featuring competitions in various sports, seminars and important meetings. 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.

Missing as usual were the Arab, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and other immigrant communities. Not that they were needed. It was they who needed to be present, not us who needed their presence. They are always invited. But rather than attend the Riyaadah, the immigrants organized a counter-Riyaadah called the "Islamic Games."

The "Islamic Games" is a copy cat 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. When we asked the "Games" people to support the Riyaadah, they refused - like they always do. The Islamic Games founder(s) also publish a newspaper called the Tri-State Muslim. The publishers of the paper refused to run any ads publicising the Riyaadah!

It is clear that too many of our immigrant brothers are racist and, as one Imam stated, "The immigrants see the indigenous Muslims as merely a commodity- a group to make money from without offering anything in return."

So here we go: Some of you are going to call ME a racist! All I am doing is informing you of the truth of what is going on because it pains me to see my people being used like prostitutes. No, even worse than prostitutes 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. BUT YOU GET NOTHING IN RETURN!
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! BUT MANY OF YOU, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, DON'T KNOW AND DON'T WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE BEING PIMPED!

But it was a beautiful weekend and much good was accomplished and it was magnificently organized. We look forward to the next one, should Allah bless us to live.

The Pathology of Muslims In Philadelphia

Some of the problems of Muslims in Philadelphia are:

Imams
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 Majlis Ash Shura of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley. 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 "why are you not a part of the unified effort?"

Racism

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.
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.

There is a "Palestinian" masjid that gives the Friday Sermon (Khutbah) in all Arabic - in North Philadelphia - an area full of Blacks! Yet they gladly speak English for white dignitaries and politicians.

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.

Our immigrant friends must realize that:

• All praises belong to Allah;
• Unity is a command from Allah, not an option;
• 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.

Muslim Media

The Muslim media includes radio shows, magazines, newspapers, newsletters etc. They are capitulating and obsequious with the same old tired "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" drivel that makes them unbearable to conscious Muslims who love Islam.
