peace to all

when i think of the crisis that i see our race in, i know that we need something thorough and ordered to take our people forward.



there are a lot of illnesses that we have in our community and i feel that Islam has the answer. Islam has a complete way of life and a whole different level of spirituality that can help our people to develop and move forward.



In this world of materialism and greed, we need a shining light to raise us spiritually, and i believe Islam is the way.

what do you say?

Islam is completely alien to africa. Its a middle east invention. If anything christianity, being an african religion in its infancy has a greater role to play. Personally I believe people should worry about the here and now and forget about what may or may not happen after you're dead.

What it takes is for the muslim, the christian and the jew to realize is that we are all part of greatness and that is to be born with this beautiful black skin. Once that we realize thatwe are one black family first, than we can respect each other and accept each other. All of these groups are humongous groupsof muslim, christian and jewish black people and if all were together, it would be a beautiful thing. But wearetoo deep into"Self"rejection, which iswhy other races can come into our community and get filthy rich over us and we dont see it yet!!! It starts by our faiths. When there is divisiveness in the church, how can we pull together our brother who should be at home raising his family the right way so his son wont be out in the streets robbing others?True faith is not to put down any one else's while uplifting yours and not to force your individual faith to someone else either. However, the common denominator is our obvious blackness and once we see that, we can then start building. But until then, we will continue to refuse "Self" acceptence.


Where there is'nt ORDER, there's CHAOS!!!

It is my opinion that Islam is the uniting factor that could unite the black race. Furthermore, Islam is the uniting factor that could unite ALL those of African descent and origin.

It is my opinion that this is why the anglican/christian/pagan/western world is so against Islam, due to this threat it poses to their domination.

It is therefore no wonder that Islam and Muslims are so oppressed, and that Malcolm X and anybody like him are murdered or imprisoned.

This is an interesting subject, no matter where on earth the Blacks are many of the ailments that you speak of are in tow. In terms of Classical African religions in the times leading up to slavery and prior many of these symptoms existed. Whether it was the Arab enslavement or that largely documented portion through Christianity these evils have persisted.

I think it all comes down to a cultural reinvention so to speak. We no matter where we are on this rock called earth need to critically examine our culture and reform it into something constructive.

There are Muslims, Animists and Christians in the USA, UK, Caribbean, South and Central America and Africa who are living poorly regardless of the practice. I feel that change is needed to correct things. Genocides, ethnic cleansings, Ethnic hoarding of power and resources, drought, famines, etc. These all take place in the context of what ever religion is practiced.


Say it LOUD! "I\'M BLACK and I\'M PROUD!"

first of all, this notion of 'BLACK' is one that is foreign to ALL three abrahamic religions. it is a man made conception that stems from pride and ego. as the prophet muhammad, pbuh,said - 'no arab is better than a non arab, and no black is better that a white' - and thats my WORD!

secondely islam is the ONLY religion to have a solid RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL and SOCIAL code. it contains within it everything that is needed to lead a good, moral, spiritually uplifting life. it is focused on worship to God and the betterment of family life and the community.

as we can see today, christianity has strayed from its original practices.
the proof lies in the fact that:
there is not ONE true christian state on earth in which its laws are practicsed,
the lifestyle of Jesus himself is not practicsed by christians as there isnt a CONCISE record of it.
and the fact there are a multitude of christian sects proves further deviation and interference from man. basically they cant all be correct.

and its funny when people try to blame world problems on the religion that the people follow. if you truly believe in God, then you know that all things, good an evil, come from Him. and you will also know that these are all to test us. do you think you will simply waltz in to heaven without a bit of hard work?

your telling the truth.
Quote:
What is important to know about Islam is that it started in Africa , the middle east is actually Africa it was the Europeans who seperated it.
Quote:
Also the first place where the prophet mohammed (saw) companions were sent was to Abysinnia Ethopia. Also the first University in the world was in Africa timbuctu, it was the muslims behind it. Islam is the religion where colour is not put forward. There are no pictures of prophet Mohammed (saw) in the mosques (even though it is known that he was of darker skin) but in other religions they paint prophet Jesus as blond hair and blue eyes. This is very sad because this is part of white supremacy and when i ask christains about this they say it doesn't matter.
Quote:
Also this whole thing on homosexuality, it is clear in the Bible that this is an act against God but too many christains are happy to embrace them and even make them leaders of the church.
Quote:
if you notice in the UK the young people are turning to Islam, churches are becoming mosques, the British people have no time for religion they are too interested in secularism.
Quote:
We are also seeing the rise of the black church that is cool, but you have to undestand that god doesn't judge you on how much wealth you have, it judges you on how pious you are.
Quote:
It states clearly in the Quran those that will be sucessful on the day of judgement are those that come to me with a purified heart(soul)

Both Islam and Christianity are foreign / non-African religions. Christianity was brought to usby European colonialistsand Islam was also forced violently on someAfrican populations by Arab invaders/imperialists. I think Africans should start looking into traditional African religions and removing all foreign and colonialist influences in Africa. I do not care about diasporan Blacks or their religious belefs, but I feel this is the solution for African people in regards to religion ( one doesn't have to be religious period to be spiritual, however ).
