just have time to reply to one of your points

'My "prejuideces" are not without substance. it is a fact that Islam invaded and enslaved africans- therefor ei see Islams effect on Black people for what it is. i'm not in to blame theories. if you notice i have talked about us gettin up and doing something about it, which is what (getting back to the original issue) NOI, are doing which is why i give them credit- where as you seek to criticise them on the virtue of there practice of islam. this suggests that there is nore to Islam than just belief in Allah as u stated before. '

NOI believe that Allah appeared as their founder 'master fard'. this is a complete deviation from islamic beliefs. this one belief puts them out of the fold of islam. they are NOT muslims. that is a fact. do not judge islam based on the NOI, but on the life of muhmammed and the quran.islam teaches freedom from oppresion for all people.it also teaches the correct treatment of slaves (who the majority were POW's). i will post up a thread about the ir correct place and treatment soon so you can understand.

peace
