I don't see how a country's pop culture and it's foreign policy coincide.

Do you know what a hypocrite is?
Quote from: J Bananas MK on March 30, 2006, 01:01:27 PMMalcolm X spent many years of his young life trying to adapt to white culture. straightening his hair, listening to white music, talking white. only after years of exclusion from the white race did he snap and turn in the opposite direction. that gets me thinking, who here on TOT really wants to be American despite their talking shit. is it tech? infinite? virtuoso? its obvious their blind hatred and butchering of american slang means they wanted to be a part of our nation bad, but were never awarded that opportunity. so to all the little foriegn nerds here who talk like they are black men from LA in the 90's. I just want to apologize. I'm sorry you couldnt be a part of our great society, maybe you couldn't handle it, whatever. but its time for you to admit that you wish you could be like us Americans and your constant tyrades mixed with black slang is bringing you down. if you admit that now, i will no longer make fun of you for the sad existence you invariably expose to us all with your bullshit. lets make peace. - jbananasI don't know what your talking about. I'm your average white American citizen, born and raised. My granfathers fought in WW2, my family is Christian, so on and so forth. I changed after I was 18, at age 18 I converted to Islam. Infact, one of my influences was Malcolm X's story, and my other major influence was an immigrant from Gambia, Africa that I started working with after highschool. Right away, I recognized that his character and way of life was better than our way of life here in America. Your probably too arrogant to realize you have alot to learn from the immigrants living in this country, and that if you did some travelling you may be able to get past your brief, narrow viewpoint of the world. Seems you've been too quick to accept your short, insulated life on this Earth as eternal, absolute truth.

did you know what a hypocrit was before you were a muslim, if so what was your definition then?
Quote from: Jip on March 31, 2006, 11:16:38 AMdid you know what a hypocrit was before you were a muslim, if so what was your definition then?I knew well what a hypocrite was before I was a Muslim. Infact, one of the major reasons that I became a Muslim was because I felt like they were some of the only people on the planet who weren't hypocrites. I saw plenty of hypocrisy growing up. The great white statesmen who we were taught in school to revere are revealed as the architects of systems of human exploitation and slavery. White Christianity has been exposed as condoners and justifiers of all these evil deeds, from colonialism, to slavery, and even today George Bush's biggest support group is the war-mongering Christian right. Schoolteachers and college professors have often been nothing more than a clique of brainwashers and whitewashers. That such venerated figures as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned hundreds of black slaves, that all the Presidents up to Lincoln presided over a slave state, and that every President since Lincoln connived politically and cynically with the issues affecting the human rights and general wellfare of the American people. These facts wiegh heavily on the minds of white youth who are willing to reflect. For as long as we can remember all we've witnessed is a monumental bickering over the black man's place in American society, and the rights of people around the world to be left alone by outside powers. All the while white Americans are pretentious enough to think that they are the standard bearers in the world for peace and civilization. Yes, you could say I was very familiar with hypocrisy amongst my own race, religion, and country before ever knowing Islam.

The Christian preachers were the first to legislate slavery using the story of Ham in the Bible as justification. In America, if you were black you and your children would be slaves, and if you were white you were free. Also slaves were not allowed any education. This is not at all the case with slavery by Arabs. Arabs had traditionally practiced slavery, but the Qu'ran began to change the Arabs views of slavery.Now let's look at the Qu'ranic viewpoint on slavery...[24:33] “Those who cannot afford to get married shall maintain morality until GOD provides for them from His grace. Those among your servants who wish to be freed in order to marry, you shall grant them their wish, once you realize that they are honest. And give them from GOD's money that He has bestowed upon you. ………” [9:60] Charities shall go to the poor, the needy, the workers who collect them, the new converts, to free the slaves, to those burdened by sudden expenses, in the cause of GOD, and to the traveling alien. Such is GOD's commandment. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise. [2:177] “Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these are the righteous.” [90:10-13] Did we not show him the two paths? He should choose the difficult path. Which one is the difficult path? The freeing of slaves.
