"Kill Them All!"


In the Name of Allah - the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower:

On Monday, April 15, 2013, it was reported in the news that two explosions devastated persons and property near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, leaving at least two dead, and several more injured, according to various reports.

Being a Muslim, myself, when I first heard the news - before there was any open speculation in the media about WHO may have done such a thing, and WHY - I must admit I became somewhat anxious, being keenly aware of the growing "Anti-Islam" sentiment in the United States of America. Aside from the natural concern for the victims and their families, I couldn't help but wonder "who will get the blame for this one."
Not long after I reluctantly acknowledged my own cynicism, it turned out that my anxiety was justified.

Report after report began to suggest that this was an act of "terror", which we all know, in America, is all but completely synonymous with "Islam", "Radical Islam", "Islamic Fundamentalism", "Islamism", etc. I wasn't terribly upset by these "rushes" to judgement, since I - along with countless other Muslims in America and around the world, no doubt - have been exposed to this kind of paranoid sensationalism too many times in the past to recall. I didn't like it...but it was nothing new, unfortunately.

Naturally, I wanted to follow the news reports to get an idea, not just of the impact of this terrible incident on the immediate victims and on that area, but also an idea of just "what direction" this coverage would take. Unfortunately, my expectations were not disappointed...but, again, it wasn't the first time.

Then, it happened. Something caught my attention that I never thought I would see in a situation so sensitive and potentially volatile. It was being put out on the internet that a certain FOX NEWS correspondent shared via his Twitter account that "Muslims are evil. Let's kill them all."

"Muslims are evil. Let's kill them all."

"Let's...kill...them all."

This was a first...for me anyway. Then, to add insult to injury, it was put out that the "Correspondnent" who allegedly made such irresponsible and "evil" remarks...is a BLACK MAN. The implications of this scenario soon began to make my head spin. Here is a Black Man in America (if the account is true), the descendant of Slaves and a by-product of the worst and most heinous treatment (slavery) ever meted out against another people in the annals of history, which has left Our people totally DEVOID of any knowledge of our True Identity, History and Destiny; and yet he ALIGNS himself with the very Architects of the Demise of his/our People, and never ONCE voiced any such sentiment as "Let's kill them all" in regards to the slavemasters and their children.

Yet, in the wake of a terrible incident, without a grasp or knowledge of all the relevant facts of the incident, he felt it appropriate to call for the MURDER of "ALL MUSLIMS". (And even if it was someone else POSING as this man, making such an incendiary remark, why do we not hear his voice CONDEMNING it?)

You don't have to be a "Muslim" to find such a statement reprehensible. Any person of sincerely Good Will towards his or her fellow man would be deeply insulted and hurt by such a vile expression...PARTICULARLY over the AIRWAVES where it was carried throughout the world.

"Muslims are evil. Let's kill them all."

In 2011, the global Muslim population was estimated to be around 2.2 Billion. That's approximately 2 Billlion, 200 Million...HUMAN BEINGS - men, women, children; Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East. Again, that is 2,200,000,000 HUMAN BEINGS - more than the population of the United States - who Believe in Allah (God), His Prophets (among them Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and others), His Revealed Word (specifically the Holy Qur'an), His Angels, the Resurrection, and the Judgement.  2 BILLION, 200 MILLION HUMAN BEINGS who, as MUSLIMS, BELIEVE in the Principles of PRAYER, CHARITY (in its broadest sense), FASTING, HAJJ (Pilgrimage to the Holy City, Mecca), and JIHAD (struggle against the inclination to sin); and who Believe and Follow the injunction given by Allah in the Holy Qur'an to "be not aggressive, for surely Allah loves not the aggressor".
 
2.2 BILLION HUMAN BEINGS...who Believe in the sanctity of MARRIAGE, the value of FAMILY, and the promotion of Good Will in the Society.
 
"...Let's (let us)...kill...them all..."
 
To put things in perspective, consider this:
 
Count/Add up ALL those "Muslims" deemed to be a "threat" to America, whether by deeds COMMITTED, or by deeds THREATENED, add them up.  WHAT PERCENTAGE of the 2 BILLION, 200 MILLION would this "radical" element amount to?
 
Are there those who CALL themselves "Muslim" and yet do EVIL in the NAME of Islam?  Certainly...just as there are those who do the same in the name of JESUS, or in the name of LIBERTY and DEMOCRACY.  Should WHOLE POPULATIONS be sentenced to DEATH for the alleged misdeeds of a comparatively MINISCULE minority?  Is that a SANE course of action?  Is that a RIGHTEOUS attitude?  Or, is it EVIL?
 
Should we - Human Beings who have accepted Islam as our way of Life - Our wives, our Children and our Believing Community be "killed" (2.2 BILLION of us) simply because of the misdeeds of a comparatively miniscule minority?  We seek only Peace, Freedom, Justice and Equality under the Banner of Islam. We assert our God-Given Right to DEFEND ourselves if we are ATTACKED, but we do not SEEK to destroy the Peace and Lives of any.  We desire only to be allowed to Live the Faith that we have accepted, to serve the God of Creation in Peace...and for this, we should be "killed"?
 
For a Black Man in America, one of the children of the slaves, to harbor such vile hatred and impudence toward a whole segment (nearly 33%) of the Human Family is an affront not only to the decency of his people whose suffering has made them ACUTELY sensitive to the pain of others, but to the very sensibilities of Humanity.
 
"Muslims are evil.  Let's kill them all."
 
No, Mr. Rush.  Muslims are not evil; and the heart and mind which conceived such utterance is certainly not Righteous.
 
Perhaps God will have mercy on you.  It could be of great benefit to you to tune in, listen to, and deeply reflect upon the Words of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in His Weekly Series, The Time and What Must be Done. (http://www.noi.org/TheTime)
 
Respectfully,
 
A Muslim.

Reflections on "The Time" and "What Must be Done"

In the Name of Allah - the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower:

NOTE: The following was inspired, directly, by the recent launch of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan's 52-week Series of Lectures titled, "The Time and What Must be Done":

For starters, let us set a context:

"...what do we mean when we say time. We mean the distance of one point taking us so long and so long to get to other point. We’re counting the time that’s between the two objects. So, it means that we have motion, and motion makes time. We cannot have any reading of time until we set up motion. When we read how long it takes between this motion and that motion to reach each other, we can say it like this for further understanding. If motion is made, we calculate how long that motion takes to meet with another motion or object."

"Time, when did it start? It started way back, a long ways back. It started when the first motion of an atom moved out of darkness. When that atom moves, it spelled time. That was, according to the teachings of Allah to me, was something around about 76 trillion years ago."

-Hon. Elijah Muhammad
'The Theology of Time



Also, consider the following:


"Almighty God Allah, in creating life, and giving Motion to Life and all the planets, would be an unwise God to create The Motion, which is a Law, and not PROTECT that motion by bringing in The Law that gives Order to that Motion.

"...in everything that exists, you find that the success of that creature is directly due to its OBEDIENCE to The Law under which it is created.  Once the creature deviates from The Law under which it is created, it starts interfering with its own motion. Then it brings itself to an untimely death."

-Hon. Louis Farrakhan,
'The Restrictive Law of Islam is Our Success'



From the Time of the Beginning of God and His Creation, Trillions of years ago, the whole Universe has been set in MOTION towards a Goal.  What is that Goal?

Since the Beginning of Time - which is the beginning of Motion - The Originator and the Original People have been engaged in a Process of "Self-Improvement" as a "Basis for Community Development".  The "Self" that is being Improved is God, Himself (and His People); and the "Community" that is being Developed - in the broadest sense - is the Universe; and this Process has been going on, as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has Taught us, for Trillions of years!

The most recent "phase" in this Process involves the final and full Manifestation of the DEFECTS in the Original Man, so that those defects can be Studied, Overcome and REMOVED, once and for all, so that We will be Free to manifest our full potential of Divinity, Beauty and Power as the Direct Descendants of God, Himself!

This most recent phase of the full manifestation of the defects in the Human Being was introduced into Our Time (Motion) by a man named Yakub, over 6,000 years ago.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Yakub was "born witha determined idea" to make a people unalike the Original, who would rule and deceive the Original People for a period of 6,000 years.  So there was a Time set for its beginning, and a Time set for its End.

During this 6,000 year period, this new people would evolve and "perfect" the science of "tricks and lies" to master the Original Man.  This is seen in growth of the "serpent" in Genesis (Bible) into a "Dragon" in Revelation.  But after that time, it is written that God would Come, Himself, to put an END to Satan's rule, and to Offer Humanity a way out of the destruction of Satan and his world.

QUESTION:  "Where are we NOW in this recent "trouble making" phase in the Process of "Self-Improvement" toward Self-Mastery?  How far along are we in this 6,000 year period?

WHAT TIME IS IT???

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that we are living, NOW, in the Time of the END of Yakub's world, or SATAN's World  (Not that Yakub was "Satan", but that Yakub's PEOPLE have BECOME "Satan"), and that this world's time ended in the year, 1914.

What does that mean for YOU and ME, who were "born into" this world and have ACCEPTED this world as "our" world?

God, in the Bible, said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...".  This tells us that the Nature of MAN is to REFLECT GOD.  The Honorable Elijah Muhammad asked us the question, "Who is the Original Man?"  He also gave us the Answer: "The Original Man is the Asiatic Black Man - the Maker, the Owner, the Cream of the planet Earth, God of the Universe."

Well, Satan - the enemy of God - also had a plan for Man, to take the Original Man and "remake" him after "his" (devil's) image and likeness.  His aim was to "color" or "pollute" the Nature of the Original Man and thus make him unfit to serve God's Purpose!  The question is, "Was he successful?"

Who do we resemble more, in 2013...God?  Or the Devil?  When we look at the behavior of the people of today, WHO do you think would be more pleased with the way things are...God?  Or Satan?

What does the end of Satan's rule mean for YOU and ME if we are in the "image and likeness" of Satan?

What do we need to DO to Escape the Punishment that God has lined up for America and this world?
"What Must be Done?"

The Short answer is, We must HEED the "Final Call", and Follow the One through Whom the Call is being made - The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan!!

For OVER 50 YEARS, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has been a Faithful Voice of Guidance and Warning, "crying in the wilderness" of North America and the world, striving to make known the Great Commission of his Father...and Our Father...the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who was Raised by God, Himself, from among Black People in America to let the WORLD know that the Time of this world is at hand.

Minister Farrakhan has faced, and by the Grace of Almighty God, Overcome TREMENDOUS opposition, both from "spiritual wickedness in high places" and from "the dust of the earth", and he has NEVER compromised the MISSION of His Father to Raise our People up from the Grave of Mental and Spiritual death.  He is a "tried stone", and is fit to be the "headstone of the corner" of a New Reality Authored by God, Himself, and His Christ!

In the Bible, God says of Jesus, "This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.  Hear ye him."

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said nearly the exact same thing of Louis Farrakhan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF7dnNNqBdU

Jesus, in the Bible, said to his disciples: "If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free."

If we desire to be "freed" from the consequences of The Time; if we desire to be free from the poisonous effects of this world, then we would ALL do well do LISTEN to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and REFLECT DEEPLY on His Words!

The Question is, "How much TIME do we THINK we have to Answer the Call?"

In Physics, we learn that a "free-falling body" accelerates toward the earth at the rate of 32ft/s per second.  That means that EVERY SECOND that an object is in "free fall", it's speed and momentum INCREASES by 32 feet per second.  After ONE second, the speed is 32 ft/s.  After TWO seconds, the speed is 64 ft/s.  After THREE seconds, the speed is 96 ft/s....and so on...

HOW LONG has AMERICA been FALLING?
How many SECONDS?
How many MINUTES?
How many HOURS?
How many YEARS has THIS world been FALLING, and what will be the RESULT upon IMPACT at "Ground Zero"?

What "Must be Done" to escape the Catastrophic "crash" of this world?

In the Bible, God Pleads with us: "Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Who will answer the Call of God?  Whosoever will, let him come...

Hear FARRAKHAN!!
