I guess... but I'd consider Dre focused, too, he's hardcore with his career, and he's not muslim.  Guess it's different for everyone.

IMO, the whole Black Muslim thing was just a moment in time.  Everyone jumped on the ban wagon callin themselves Muslims.

But that religion is a peaceful one and real muslims dont smoke weed.. have sex with tons of women.. etc.  Real Muslims come from the Middle East.

no offence to any 5%'ers but its tru.  I spent 6 months in the Middle East.  Any 5%'rs from the US been to the Middle East for that long?

Jedda Saudi
Bahrain
Jabal Ali
Muscat
etc.

Real Muslims come from the middle east?  Not True.  Muslims come from all different countries and nationalities.

Real Muslims don't smoke weed?  Not True.  Hashish is a very popular drug amongst Muslims in the Middle East.  And in the same vien, some of the most pious African Muslims smoked weed daily in their homeland, marijuina laws are rarely enforced in Africa.

Oh. LOL.  I thought he was.   Well, I can't really say anything, because there's tons of half-a$$ christians who don't practice what Christ preached, so that's why I was staying out of it.  Also, I don't want to be perceived as anti-muslim, because i'm not.  I do feel however that most of the people in hiphop that claim muslim are desecrating that religion.  These people just agree with some of the islamic ideals, that doesn't make them muslim! They're not livin it, they're just agreeing with it.  I feel the same way about Snoop claiming he's a christian, then sleeping around on his wife, being addicted to drugs, cussing every second word, disrespecting women (even though when he was young, it was a woman who carried his skinny a$$ around all day for years, when she could have let him die), talking about murdering his brothers, etc. etc. etc.  Jesus wouldn't have done any of that, and he's doing it on purpose.. therefore, he'snot a christian, if I was the judgemental type.  But I'm not, haha.  Anyways, there's a difference between having faults, and trying to fix them, and purposely doing things.

well actually real muslims dont get high.....doesnt it say in the Qu'ran that you shouldnt use substances that change the way your mind works or changes your thinking, i dunno what the word is that im lookin for but it says that you shouldnt use substances that get you out of your normal everyday feeling, so no those arent muslims that smoke hashish, those are arabs who were born muslims but do not live their life strictly by the Quran

Once again, I spent 6 months in 4 different middle eastern countries.  Who can speak up on that.  Fuck all the technical shit.  I dont read them damn holy books anyway.. all I know is I lived it for 6 months.  

Again.. has anyone here been to Mecca or at least it's GATEWAY, Jedda Saudi Arabia?  (Im talkin to you american 5%'rz)  Dont think so. I bought gold and china there baby!  Damn sure didn't by no Quaran (did I spell that right?)

Nuff said.  Religious freaks!  (uuuggggg!)

This is my last post in this Halls bullshit.  Niggaz is to god damn holy for their own good.  Holla at me in the general forum where HIP HOP is our god and religion.  

On a final note:
GGOOOOO LAKZ!!!!!  GOOO SNOOP!!!!!!  Westcoast for life!
