"I Never Owned Any Slaves..."

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

It never fails...

Whenever the topic of JUSTICE and/or REPARATIONS comes up, especially that owed to Black People in America for the damage done to Us via the evil institution of Slavery, there are ALWAYS those who, in their denial and unwillingness, respond, "I never had any slaves, and I'm not responsible for what my ancestors did.  That's in the PAST.  YOU PEOPLE need to MOVE ON with your lives."

It's interesting, to say the least, that these people don't want to be held RESPONSIBLE for what their ancestors did, but don't mind BENEFITING from what their ancestors did, which means they also have a vested interested in PERPETUATING what their ancestors did.

Unfortunately, for them, JUSTICE does not work that way.

It is widely believed in the realm of Biology that within 7-10 years, EVERY SENTIENT CELL in the Human Body is REPLACED by "descendant" cells..."children" cells, if you will.  If this is the case, then it could be said that the Person that you are looking at NOW is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT Person than the One that existed 7-10 years Earlier.

Now, Suppose a man - let's call him "Joe" - commits CAPITAL MURDER at the age of 21.  He is sentenced to DEATH, and spends the next 15 YEARS on DEATH ROW before his execution date comes.  Biologically speaking, the "Joe" that is about to be Executed is NOT THE SAME Person that committed the Murder.  The Collective of Cells that makes up the PRESENT "Joe" is NOT the same as the Collective that made up "21 year old Joe".

Suppose, again, that PRESENT TIME "JOE" (36 year old) appeals for a "stay of execution" on the grounds that this present group of cells that make up Joe's body shouldn't be held responsible, and put to death, because of what THEIR ANCESTOR-CELLS did.  How far do you think Joe's appeal would go?

If YOU were the Warden or the Governor being presented with such an appeal, would you grant a stay of execution?  Or, would you carry out the sentence, believing that the IDEA that moved 21-year-old Joe to commit "capital murder" is STILL ALIVE and WELL in 36-year-old Joe?  If you were following the letter of the Law, chances are you would carry out the sentence...not against "the present generation of cells" who were NOT PRESENT at the time of the murder, but against the IDEA that DIRECTS the cells!  And what would 36-year-old Joe HAVE TO DO to be granted a "stay"?

Now, envision WHITE AMERICA as a BODY...composed of Individuals, or "Cells" - the Present generation of Whites being "36-year-old Joe", seeking to escape "punishment" for what THEIR ANCESTORS ("21-year-old Joe") did, even though they carry the same IDEA as their ancestors did. What would the present generation of Whites have to do to warrant a "Stay" of God's Judgement against them?

Surely, it would require much more than "denying responsibility"

What do you think?

JUSTICE or ELSE: Did Minister Farrakhan REALLY Call for the Killing of "Police" or "All White People"?

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

On July 30, 2015, in the city of Miami, Florida, as part of His "Justice or Else" tour, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke the following words:

"I'm looking for 10,000...in the midst of the Million.  10,000 fearless MEN...who say that Death is SWEETER...
...than continued life under tyranny.
...than to continue to live and bury our children, while white folks give the killer HAMBURGERS.
...than watching us slaughter each other, to the joy of our 400 year old enemy.

"The Qur'an teaches that persecution is WORSE than SLAUGHTER.   Then it says that Retaliation is PRESCRIBED in matters of the Slain!  Retaliation is a PRESCRIPTION from GOD!  To calm the breasts of those whose children have been slain. So *IF* the Federal Government will not intercede in OUR affairs, then we MUST rise up and Kill THOSE WHO KILL US!  Stalk them, and KILL them, and let them FEEL THE PAIN of Death that WE are feeling!"

Not surprisingly, the Wicked Media Demons IMMEDIATELY began misinterpreting and misrepresenting the Minister's Words to make it SEEM as if He called for "10,000 fearless to kill [all] white people," or to "kill police."  However, ANYONE who wishes to hear for themselves the TRUTH of what The Minister Said, can simply look it up on YouTube!

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan NEVER called for the indiscriminant killing of "white people", or "police"; and he never stated (in that lecture) WHY He wanted "10,000 Fearless".  The ENEMY fallaciously (deceptively) suggested such, hoping that such an "evil suggestion" would FRIGHTEN and ANGER the WHITE Masses, and FRIGHTEN the BLACK Masses AWAY from their Brother - the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan!

What is it about Black People's Cry for JUSTICE that so UPSETS White People?
What is it about the threat of RETALIATION that so ANGERS and FRIGHTENS them?
What Causes them to take a CLEAR and SPECIFIC Statement made by The Minister, and INTERPRET as a "general threat" against ALL OF THEM?

Let us examine the Minister's Words, Carefully, and see whether or not their REACTIONS to His words are JUSTIFIED.

First, WHAT IS "retaliation"?  Is it "morally wrong"?  Is it "unnatural"? Is it "never justified"?

"Retaliation", according to "Etymology Online", has, as its root meaning, the following:
[1580s, noun of action from Late Latin retaliare "pay back in kind," from re- "back" (see re-) + Latin talio "exaction of payment in kind," from or influenced by talis "suchlike" (see that). Originally used both in good and evil senses.]

The DEFINITION of "retaliation", according to "Dictionary.com" is given as follows:
"the act of retaliating; return of like for like; reprisal."

In other words, "retaliation" is a RESPONSE to an ATTACK.

White people, in general, seem to have NO PROBLEM "retaliating" against their perceived or actual attackers, and they feel COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED in using often LETHAL Force in order to "get back at" those they feel have injured them.

In both BIBLE and QUR'AN, Allah (God) Establishes the "Law of Retaliation" in matters of the slain, as explained above by the Minister.

However, when it comes to BLACK People "hitting back", it appears from the Reactions of WHITE people that the right of "retaliation" does not apply; letting us know that there is NO JUSTICE in them for Us. It is as if, in THEIR minds, to retaliate against ANY White person is an "attack" against ALL White People...NON-REASON at its best.  This kind of "logic" is interesting for a number of reasons.

First, it describes an attitude that the basis of RIGHTness...is WHITEness, where JUSTICE is supplanted by "race privilege".

Second, it suggests that BLACK people are not INTELLIGENT enough to DIFFERENTIATE between "those who kill us", as the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan stated, and "all white people", as the above mentioned "logic" suggests.

Third, it describes among White people a "collective awareness" of the "sins of their fathers," which plagues them with a "collective guilt", and FEAR, that "one day," JUSTICE will catch up with them as predicted by Thomas Jefferson when he said, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is Just, and that His Justice cannot sleep forever."

The LAST thing that White people want to be REMINDED of is what AWAITS them for what their Ancestors have Done, and for what THEY have INHERITED, UPHELD and SUPPORTED from their Ancestors.  They KNOW that JUSTICE is COMING, which is why they REACT the way they do to the Words of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan!

When the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan speaks of the possibility of killing "those who kill us", He is making a CLEAR DISTINCTION.  His statement could also be expressed in the "negative", meaning, "NOT killing those who DO NOT kill us".  BOTH ideas are expressed in the same statement.  Thus, those who DO NOT kill us, nor AID those who DO, DO NOT have to worry about "being killed".

It is only those who take PLEASURE in killing us, especially WITHOUT "Due Process of Law", who have something to worry about; that is, again, "IF the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT will not INTERCEDE in OUR affairs" to see that We GET "Justice", as the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan stated.

ANYONE who could so MISINTERPRET His Words, as to take a REASONED WARNING as an IRRATIONAL, INDISCRIMINANT threat, is AGAINST JUSTICE for Black People; and ANYONE who is AGAINST JUSTICE for Black People is an ENEMY of Black People.

It is NOT the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan's WORDS that are "inciting violence". It is the VIOLENCE of ROGUE POLICE, and the REFUSAL of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to PROSECUTE and PUNISH them, that is "inciting violence."

Blaming Minister Farrakhan for the violence that is occurring is nothing more than a collective refusal to LOOK IN THE MIRROR and CONFRONT SELF, a Predominant characteristic of "The Criminal Mind".

FORTUNATELY, however, Our Fate is NOT in THEIR hands; but in the Hands of the GOD Who Has Come in PERSON - Master W. Fard Muhammad - to JUDGE this Nation (America) and to DELIVER us from our 400+ Year Old Enemies of Freedom, Justice and Equality.  HE is PRESENT, now, to Give Us JUSTICE!

All WE have to do is UNITE, and SUPPORT His Representative in our midst - the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan!!

"JUSTICE, or ELSE!"

FARRAKHAN, the American Flag, and the Lying Media

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

On Wednesday, June 24, 2015, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan called a Press Conference in Washington, DC, to Announce the Meaning of the Theme of the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March, "JUSTICE, or ELSE!"

During the Minister's talk, he mentioned the recent controversy of the "taking down" of Confederate flags as State and Local government symbols, which was sparked by reactions to the killing of nine innocent people in their church by a young male white supremacist, Dylann Roof.

Questioning the significance of corporations and government bodies taking down the "Confederate" flag as a symbol of racism and oppression, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said: "I don't know what the hell the fight is about over the Confederate flag, We need to put the American flag down, because we've caught as much hell under that, as the Confederate flag..." (1:02:17)

Clearly, Minister Farrakhan was speaking to Black People and our historical record of being some of America's most ardent "flag wavers"; that, since the American flag has FAILED to give us JUSTICE, we should put THAT flag down - NOT that "the flag" should "COME Down," or that it should be "put down" as a dying animal would be "put down", but that BLACK People, who have SUFFERED and CONTINUE to Suffer the WORST of injustices under that flag, should "let that flag go" as a symbol of hope for OUR PEOPLE..."put that flag down", since it has always represented nothing but slavery, suffering and death for our people.

Naturally, those who hate the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, and are always looking for an opportunity to distort His Words and Meaning beyond recognition, they took His statement and immediately began making mischief with it, saying that the Minister said the American flag should "come down," or that we should "pull" it down, or that it should be "put down" as in being "killed" or "destroyed" as a national symbol.

All such blatant distortions are completely unwarranted...and deceptive, for later in the same talk (1:50:00), the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan stated: "I stand up for the flag, but I WILL NOT pledge ALLEGIANCE to it.  I give my allegiance to the GOD who CREATED me.  I give my ALL to my CREATOR.  I RESPECT that flag, because it's the flag of an independent nation, and that's what I want to be!" 

Not surprisingly, this second statement is conspicuously ABSENT from all the "scandal-mongering" by the usual shock-jocks in the media, regarding the Minister's words.

Sadly, it seems the masses, who have succumbed to the conditioning of the American propaganda machine, have long given up the virtue of "critical analysis and examination," which would naturally impel them to SEEK OUT and EXAMINE the FACTS of the case before forming a judgement; and they are perfectly satisfied to demand of the media nothing more than to "TELL us WHAT to THINK"!  Thus, there exists in America - among both Black and White people - a completely engineered "unquestioning acceptance" of ANYTHING presented as "News" (especially BAD news) by any easily accessible information outlet.  This is a sad commentary on the "intelligence" of the Society in such an "enlightened" age.

WHAT, though, is the PURPOSE for these distortions of the Minister's Words?  Why would people who WATCHED the Minister's Lecture, who LISTENED to it in its Entirety, DELIBERATELY MISREPRESENT to the Public what He said?  It is because they are AFRAID.  They are AFRAID of the TRUTH that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan Speaks, and what that Truth MEANS for THEM as the Architects and Supporters of the greatest CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY in the Annals of World History - the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, and the brutal TERRORISM that it spawned against Black People for over 400 Years!

They are AFRAID because they Know that Minister Farrakhan is NOT AFRAID to tell the TRUTH that will AWAKEN the Masses to the ugly reality and Cause of their suffering.  They are AFRAID because they KNOW that JUSTICE is coming, and that THEY are on the WRONG SIDE of Justice; and instead of ACCEPTING the Truth and HUMBLING themselves to CHANGE according to the Dictates of Truth, they are Determined to try to SUPPRESS the Truth...and the Truth Bearer(s)!

This, of course, is a lost cause for the enemy, for HISTORY shows that NO Oppressed people will REMAIN oppressed "forever".  At some point, the Human Spirit will begin to "push back" against oppression -- in a singular, unified heaving -- and throw off those who refuse to give Justice; and it appears that we have reached that point.

More and more of us are being Awakened to the point where we can see clearly the nature and cause of our suffering in this country, and are growing ever more dissatisfied with the injustice that has been so widespread, so multi-faceted and so prolonged that we had all but fallen into a paralyzing "apathy" about it.

Thanks to the Mighty Effort and Commitment of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, and those Touched by Him, we are growing in our Awareness and in our desire to Pursue and Obtain JUSTICE for Ourselves and Our People...and for ALL People.

Again, this FRIGHTENS the architects, perpetuators, and Supporters of our Oppression. 

So now, it appears that we have come to an impasse - a Showdown - between the Oppressors...and the Oppressed.  The forces of Injustice are losing ground.  The Masses are gaining Strength, and their/our Cry, now, is...

..."JUSTICE, or ELSE!"

It's not looking good for the opposition. (smile)

"This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes."

It's Time...for a SHOWDOWN!!!

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

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah!

On Saturday, February 8, 2014, in the Context of Part 57 of His weekly series, "The Time and What Must be Done," the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan made the following statement:

"I, Louis Farrakhan, am your last chance, and I am issuing 'The Final Call.'  Believe it or not, I am the true vicegerent of The Mahdi; or The Christ, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.  And now I say to the pope, and all the lovers of Jesus, if you desire, let’s have a 'showdown':  You call the 'Jesus' that you know, and I’ll call on The Jesus that I know—and let’s see which one of us really knows Jesus.

"Yes!  There are 1,500 of these Wheels!  I believe in Jesus …  I believe Him to be The Christ!  And we have, all over the world, a right to love Jesus; but it’s better to love him with knowledge, than to love him in the way that he is being represented.  All of you Baal prophets and hypocrites:  Join altogether!  All of you that condemn me:   See if you have the power, all of you together, to call The Christ, The Master of The Wheel; and let Him bring them down, all 1,500 of them!

"You go ahead and try to call The Wheels down; since 'Jesus is up there'—and He is The Master of that Wheel; and I’ll make a call to The Jesus that I know and represent, and let’s see which one of us He’ll answer.  Remember 'The Showdown' between Elijah and the Baal prophets, and how Elijah brought down 'fire from heaven'?  (1 Kings, 18:16-40)  Well, if we call:  They’ll bring down fire from heaven.

"Now, be careful; because when The Showdown came, and the Baal prophets did not prevail:  Elijah killed every single one of them.  So please …  Please be careful of the evil that you are planning against us."

What, exactly, is a "showdown"?

showdown:
-a conclusive settlement of an issue, difference, etc., in which all resources, power, or the like, are used; decisive confrontation.
-a final test or confrontation intended to settle a dispute.
-a meeting, argument, fight, etc., that will finally settle a disagreement between people or groups.
-(poker)  the exposing of the cards in the players' hands on the table at the end of the game .


Given the above definitions, what is the "issue," "dispute," or "disagreement" that would be "settled," once and for all, by the "Showdown" proposed by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan?  What would such a "showdown" PROVE?

In Point Number 12 of "What the Muslims Believe," by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, we read:

"WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited 'Messiah' of the Christians and the 'Mahdi' of the Muslims.

"We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no god and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together."


This Point, in my view, is a critical point of "issue", "dispute" and "disagreement" between the Followers of the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the rest of the world of Religion who, in one form or another, is awaiting the appearance of a "Christ", "Messiah", or "Mahdi" Figure at the end of this present world's Time.

According to the Scriptures - both Bible and Qur'an - leading up to the Appearance of this Christ/Messiah/Mahdi Figure, God allows the wicked, led by Satan (knowingly or unknowingly), freedom to exercise the power of rulership over the  people of the Earth.  These wicked rulers will have literally taken over all the institutions of man - Government, Education, Religion, etc. - by DECEPTION, and will thus have been ACCEPTED as "the rulers" by the vast majority of the people of our planet...again, by GOD's PERMISSION.

Also, according to the Scriptures, we are told that when this "Christ" Figure appears, He will start a MOVEMENT to RECLAIM, RESURRECT and RESTORE the Victims of these wicked, Satanic rulers; and that Movement - because of the unwillingness of the wicked to accept RIGHTEOUSNESS - will eventually culminate in a FINAL CONTEST...a "SHOWDOWN"...between the GOD of RIGHTEOUSNESS, in the Person of this "CHRIST" Figure, and the god of THIS WORLD, who is SATAN.

This "Showdown" in Scripture is described as not only NECESSARY, but INEVITABLE!  It is both NECESSARY and INEVITABLE for the Salvation of God's Chosen People, for the Survival of the Human Family, and for the PERFECT and PERMANENT Establishment of God's Peace on Earth.

Since 1931 (83 years), The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught us that this "Christ" or "Messiah" Figure - this "Mahdi" - Who was to come...HAS COME, in the Person of MASTER W. FARD MUHAMMAD.  Naturally, such a claim is a CHALLENGE to the "religious authority" of the established religious "orthodoxy" who have long been relishing the notion that THEY are the "chosen of God"; and naturally, such a claim sparks disagreement and debate, and even inspires some to actively oppose those who uphold this Claim/Belief.

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, on the One Hand, has taken the Position that "Point Number 12" is RIGHT and EXACT, and has boldly declared to the World that He Represents the Messiah (The Christ) AND the Mahdi.  On the OTHER hand, the REST OF THE WORLD OF RELIGION has taken a position of varying degrees of "disagreement", from mild to vehement.

This dispute, this disagreement, this issue, has been raging in Religious Circles all over the earth for the past 83 years!  Since the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is NOT BACKING DOWN from His Position, and since the world of religion, along with the world of politics/government, does not appear willing to back down from their disagreement or rejection of His Position; then HOW, WHEN and BY WHOM shall this issue be finally settled, once and for all?  Might it require...a SHOWDOWN?

The protracted struggle between "Moses and Aaron" and "Pharaoh" (Ruler), over the Liberation of the Children of Israel, culminated in a SHOWDOWN...which Pharaoh lost.

The struggle between "Elijah" and the "Baal Prophets" (Religious Orthodoxy) resulted, eventually, in a SHOWDOWN...which the Baal prophets lost.

WHY did they lose?  It was because they, in their pride and arrogance, could not accept...and could not SEE...that the Messenger that God sent to them was, indeed, "God-Sent".  So, instead of bowing in submission to the Will of God as expressed through their Prophets, they preferred a Showdown.

History records that these wicked people were the losers, and the masses who were under their influence were finally freed from that influence...that is, those who had the good sense to acknowledge God's Prophets.

Fast forward to Present Time...  The Hon. Louis Farrakhan has invited "The Pope" and "all who love Jesus" (though they don't really KNOW Jesus) to a SHOWDOWN...because it is TIME that the TRUTH of JESUS be made KNOWN, so that we NO LONGER have to rely on "tradition" and "belief".  It's Time to for the world to KNOW who Jesus is, so that those who have been DECEIVED in JESUS' NAME may have an opportunity to be SET FREE from their spiritual bondage by the TRUTH of the PRESENCE of Jesus.

In my opinion, ALL who LOVE Jesus should WANT this issue...this dispute...this disagreement...to be settled Once and for All, so that we can KNOW we are following the TRUE Jesus, and have Life more abundantly.  Not a "showdown" between the FOLLOWERS of Jesus...but a Showdown between the LEADERSHIP who claim to REPRESENT Jesus to the People!

I, for one, would LOVE to see such a Showdown, because I am SURE that the Honorable Minister Louis FARRAKHAN, by the Power of Almighty God, ALLAH; and in the Name of the TRUE and LIVING "JESUS" - the Honorable ELIJAH MUHAMMAD - will be The Winner!

LET'S GET IT ON!!!

"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.
