Islam's hatred and agenda against black people
The color of one's skin has suddenly become relevant to religion. Muslim
activists have been trying to convince African American citizens that
Islam
is the religion of the Black man, that Islam is African & that Mohammed
was
Black. Needless to say, Muslims only make these claims to Blacks; among
Whites they take a different approach!
Knowing that these are well thought-out falsifications, intended only to
draw Blacks towards Islam, I felt compelled to set the facts straight.
Nothing in this article is meant to lend approval to this racial approach.
If we are to reject Islam, it should be based on Islam's own demerits,
rather than color or origin.
Africa was not the Cradle of Islam
Islam was born in the 7th century, in the Arabian Peninsula, which is part
of the continent of Asia. Yellow Asia & Black Africa are separated by the
Red Sea. Here, we are talking about 2 different continents & 2 different
peoples.
Islam went to Africa relatively recently, & is not the predominant
religion
there. African Americans were most likely either Christians or Animists at
the time they were brought to America.
Christianity has been present in Africa since the 1st half of the 1st
century. St. Mark, the writer of the Gospel of Mark was a North African
Jew
who preached the Gospel to Egypt. From there, Christianity spread all over
North Africa, & to the south of Egypt's borders. The Eastern church raised
to the level of sainthood many Africans, St. Moses the Black from Egypt &
St. Tekla Himanote the Ethiopian & others.
One of the teachers & prophets in the early church, Simeon, was an African
from Niger in west Africa (Acts 13:1).
Eastern Africa was converted to Christianity through the ministry of a
cabinet member of Queen Candace of Ethiopia who was baptized by St.
Philip,
one of the 7 deacons in the early church (Acts 8:26 - 40).
Mohammed was not a Black Man
Mohammed was an Asian-Arab. You can't confuse an Asian-Arab with a
Black-African. There are numerous evidences that Mohammed was actually
white. The space limitation will allow us to mention only a few:
In Sahih Al Bukhari vol. 1 no. 63, we read "while we were sitting with the
Prophet, a man came & said, 'who amongst you is Mohammed?' We replied,
'this
white man reclining on his arm..."
In volume 2 Hadith no. 122 refers to Mohammed as a "white person" & in
vol.
2 Hadith no. 141 we are told that when Mohammed raised his arms, "the
whiteness of his armpits became visible."
Mohammed owned Black Slaves
Mohammed owned several black slaves. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya relies heavily
on the 'Prophet's' biographies written by great ancient scholars.
Therefore,
he is regarded by Muslims as an authority, a primary source & a leader
among
the students of Islamic religion. He tells us in his book, "Zad al-Ma'ad"
(part 1, pp. 114-116), the following:
"These are the names of Mohammed's male slaves: Yakan Abu Sharh, Aflah,
'Ubayd, Dhakwan, Tahman, Mirwan, Hunayn, Sanad, Fadala Yamamin, Anjasha
al-Hadi, Mad'am, Karkara, Abu Rafi', Thawban, Ab Kabsha, Salih, Rabah,
Yara
Nubyan, Fadila, Waqid, Mabur, Abu Waqid, Kasam, Abu' Ayb, Abu Muwayhiba,
Zayd Ibn Haritha, & also a black slave called Mahran."
Even in modern times, in Saudi Arabia the homeland of Islam, the common
word
for "Black" is "Abd" meaning slave.
What was Mohammed's position on freeing the slaves?
In one instance, a man freed a slave that he kept as a ***ual partner.
When
Mohammed heard what happened, he auctioned the boy & sold him for 800
derhams to Na-eem Ebn Abdullah Al- Nahham. (Sahih Muslim vol. 7, page 83)
According to Mohammed, the punishment for committing adultery is different
between a free man, a free woman & a slave-woman. The man is to be flogged
100 stripes & be exiled for 1 year. The free woman must be stoned to
death.
But the slave-woman (since she has a monetary value) will not be exiled or
killed, she is to be flogged 100 stripes. If the violation is repeated,
the
slave-woman is to be sold. (Sahih Al Bukhari vol. 8:821 & 822)
Islam looked down on Blacks
Islam is a cult, whose sacred scriptures contain explicit denigrating
remarks about Black people.
Mohammed referred to Blacks as "raisin heads". (Sahih Al Bukhari vol. 1,
no.
662 & vol. 9, no. 256).
In another Hadith, Mohammed is quoted as saying that Blacks are,
"pug-nosed
slaves". (Sahih Muslim vol. 9 pages 46 & 47).
Islam is not the Haven of Freedom & Equality
Even if we wrongly assume that Islam started in Africa & that its Prophet
was a black man, this still wouldn't in itself be a good reason for Blacks
to adopt Islam. Nor would it be a good reason for Whites to adopt Islam
just
because Mohammed was white. We have to look at Islam itself.
I wouldn't want to be a Muslim because Islam is anti freedom, which is one
issue so close to the hearts & minds of African Americans, considering the
inequities they have suffered in their past.
One thing Islam does not believe in is freedom of religion. If Islam takes
over America there wouldn't be a choice of religion. The Quran states: "If
anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of
him; & in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost".
(Surah 3:85)
Many of the teachings of Islam are incompatible with progress. Neither are
they compatible with human rights, civil rights or constitutional rights.
Here are a few examples of the teachings of Islam:
Men are superior to women. (Surah 2:22)
Women have half the rights of men:
In court witness. (Surah 2:282)
In inheritance. (Surah 4:11)
A man may beat his wife. (Surah 4:34)
A man may marry up to 4 wives at the same time. (Surah 4:3)
Muslims must fight until their opponents submit to Islam. (Surah 9:29)
A Muslim must not take a Jew or a Christian for a friend. (Surah 5:51)
A Muslim apostate must be killed. (Surah 9:12)
Stealing is punished by the amputation of the hands. (Surah 5:3)
Adultery is punished by public flogging. (Surah 24:2)
No separation between Mosque & State. (Surah 2:193)
No opposition party allowed. (Surah 4:59)
My fellow African-American:
Muslims don't care for your skin color, they are only using that to gain
control over you. For if Muslims really care for Africans, why are African
Muslims kidnapping their African Christian brothers these days in Sudan,
butchering the weak & selling the healthy as slaves? (see State Dept.
