If you knew anything about the man pictured above you would not disrespect him. Even if your not a Muslim or an African American. If your just a hip-hop head you have to respect him. "Rap" music was partly named after him, as his nickname was "Rap" years before the first rap record was put on wax, he was a popular public speaker in the African American resistance movement back in the 60's, he used to use colorful, speach and language, for example, he'd say something like "If the white man don't come around/ We are going to burn Birmingham (Alabama) down!" And in the now-classic book he wrote in the 60's he drops "raps" that came from "playing the dozens" that are iller than any mc out today....But that was H. "Rap" Browne in the 60's, when he was a leader in the African American resistance struggle. While a political prisoner in the 70's, he embraced Islam and changed his name to Jamil Al-Amin. Islam broadened his outlook, and he now teaches that the struggle for justice is not exclusive to African Americans, but it is a struggle that transcends race and nationality, and that Islam is the best blueprint.

He was a top official in both the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and the Black Panther Party in the 60's before he embraced Islam, and after embracing Islam, a handful of masjids throughout America followed his leadership, and in Atlanta he has Islamic businesses, masjids, and communities that he's biult from the ground up, he's studied over sea's in Sudan, and he lead a delegation of 100's from America to Hajj. So infact, he is actually one of the most important American figures of 60's era, he is an icon in the African American community, and his influence is still large today in the Muslim community.
haha that guy looks funny like a hamster or something. is he a terrorist?
