Ramadaan Mubarak to all the Muslims. Especially those of us who are upon hard times. May the first 10 days of Ramadaan bring you an abundance of mercy, and may the Qu'ran be the spring of your heart and provide the strength in your step this month. We are all in this struggle together of difficulty and ease, fasting and feasting, so may our hearts be united and incline towards one another.
I had my first Ramadaan experience (for this year) today. I wasn't at the masjid last night when Taraweeh (night prayers in which whole Qu'ran will be completed by the end of the month) prayers officially began. But this morning I woke up and had a nice soher breakfast with my family at 4:30am alhamdulillah, and it worked out great for me because I had to be in at work at 6:00am.
After getting home from work I took a knap, then woke up very hungry and went to the local masjid (here in Kansas City). I read Qu'ran and practiced some of the verses I'm currently trying to memorize; then made Dua to Allah to make the haraam (eating during the day) into halaal (eating once sunsets). Finally the adhan was called and we all enjoyed dates, watermelon, and soup briefly to break our fast. Then we joined Salatal Magrib (4th prayer of the day).
Came home after Magrib to relax for a minute, then back up to the masjid for Isha (5th prayer of the day) and Taraweeh. Taraweeh was read in the second half of Suratal Baqarah so I followed along with a small English/Arabic Qu'ran in hand. Then ate some of the rice and meat that had been brought and visited with some of the brothers afterwards.
Nice way to start the Ramadaan. Peace

I'm not trying to defend Brian but Christianity which has allot of white followers is also a desert religion.

How so? It's spread everywhere. If Brian's parents were Muslim that's one thing but how much you want to bet he was raised as a Christian?
-
Im positive that he was raised as a christian and there is no doubt in my mind that he converted because he thought it was the black thing to do. Im just saying that there are a handful of white muslims, mostly in Eastern europe and the balkans.
and by raised you mean celebrating the religious holidays right?

Islam is not a race or a nationality. It is also not named after any person or any time period. Islam is eternal, and it has been around since the beginning of time, because Allah has been around since the beginning of time. Even the sun and the moon are Muslims because they submit to the will of Allah and they do not deviate from the course in which Allah has prescribed for them.
The Qur'an states that the purpose of dividing mankind into nations (races) and tribes is so that we could know each other. If everyone was the same there would be no identity. So we have all types of groups of people, but we all come from the same source.
Islam's culture has touched all different regions and races in it's time. The Russian caucuses where white people trace their ancestry is today a predominately Muslim region. With the Chechen Caucasian who their origins in the region and still populate that region today. Also, many parts of Eastern Europe are predominately white and Muslim, such as Albania and Bosnia.

I was born a Muslim because everyone is born a Muslim. Because the exact translation of Muslim means that you are in submission to the Creator. So nobody chooses where they are born or how they are born, this is all chosen by God. So in that way we are all born Muslim. Then it is our parents or society that can raise us to be Christian or Hindu or Atheist and so on.
But I came back to my natural state as a Muslim, in recognizing the only true Creator which is Allah. Because in the grand spectrum of time, Jesus was not any more than a speck of dust. He lived 33 years, in a small region of the Earth. But the Earth is just one planet amongst an infinite number of galaxies known and unknown. So it only makes sense to worship the Creator that is sustaining the entire solar systems and galaxies.
Next, how sincere would my worship be if I was only a Christian because that's what my parents told me to believe in? Eventually we all have to choose our own path in life and we all have to be responsible for our own decisions and actions.
That would be a terrible statement of ignorance for me to claim that my parents contained the eternal, absolute truth about this world. Nobody has the eternal, absolute truth of this world, because we are all living according to our own circumstances. No two people are alike. What is right for one person can be wrong for another.

So what religion should I have converted to in order to embrace my white roots and satisfy your bigotry? Name me a white religion?
So I converted to Islam because it was the black thing to do? Again, please tell me what is the "white thing to do" so I can satisfy your bigotry. Because honestly I don't know what is the "white thing to do" so please enlighten me.

Part of the purpose of fasting is so that we can gain sympathy for others who have to go without food and drink. So that we can praise Allah that he has not afflicted us with what he has afflicted them with, and that he has elevated us over much of what he has created. Because anybody could be in that position. The differences amongst humans is not so vast that it is impossible for a man to starve. There was once a King who loved his gold so much that he would go inside the vault to count it, until one day the vault door closed behind him and he starved to death counting his gold.

I had the same misconception before when I heard of fasting. I remember reading a book called "Makes Me Wanna Holler" by Nathan McCall. He was an x-convict in prison for murder, who turned his life around and became a star journalist for the Washington Post. He talked about converted to Islam in prison, and how fasting changed his life. Some of his ideas excited me, and I tried fasting so I would try to go for 24 hours straight without eating, but I would drink those Odwala drinks that were basically like smoothies. So really, I had no idea what I was doing but I was trying, at least.
But later I learned that fasting as it is done in Islam means not eating or drinking during the daytime hours from sunrise to sunset. So this time of year where I live it's from about 5:00 AM in the morning to 8:26PM in the evening.

Cam was wack when he first came out with Mase and he's still wack. And you can call whatever you want a lie, but it doesn't really fucking matter because I'm the one that will get the benefit or harm from my actions.

In Islam, religion just means way of life. Everybody has a way of life. Maybe I'm a skater, or I'm Emo, or I'm a fanatic fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and I live and die with what happens on Sunday. Islam isn't the end all be all of who I am, it's just something that I do in the same way that somebody elses life may revolve around going to KC Chiefs training camp, and eating at Buffalo Wild Wings after practice.

Word. I've changed. I don't believe in absolute truth anymore anyway. I wouldn't tell anyone that Islam is true and good for everyone in this world. Because for some people it's a fucking prison and if they practice that shit they are going to go fucking crazy. I'm a Libertarian before anything else, because libertarians believe in individual liberty and that everyone is dealing with their own personal circumstances and their own individual truth.
Like Khalil Gibran says, "Never say I have THE truth. But say, I have A truth.

I'm assuming that you turned to islam around the same time that you stopped finding white women attractive (I'm still laughing at that). I'm not telling you to do what most white people do but to be yourself. Your obviously using islam as an excuse to socialize with black people. It has been said before but like most religious people you are lost as a human being.
Also, many parts of Eastern Europe are predominately white and Muslim, such as Albania and Bosnia.
Allthough there are plenty of muslims in those areas, that is not true. Muslims in Bosnia were majority before the war not anymore and Albania is still predmoinately Atheist.

lol@your condescending ass telling me to be myself. That's all I've ever done but being yourself will just get you criticized more by ignorant fucks like yourself.

Infinite doesn't want to be a muslim. He wants to be a black muslim. You can tell by the way he visits Africa on every occasion instead of the holy land. I bet the guy has never stepped foot in a mosque.

So you say I've never been to a mosque?? ...but yet here I am at the most famous mosque in the whole world, the masjidofRasulula in Medina, Saudi Arabia. This is the first mosque that was originally built by the Prophet Muhammad himself. So you say I wanted to be black and to be a black Muslim, well then why in 2003 was I making Hajj to Mekkah (all this in an Arab country, mind you), and why was I engaged to an Arab woman in Oman? Here's a photo from my Hajj 2003 pics so you can see just how wrong you are when you try to speak about my life...
(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg39/Abdul-Infinite/713062-R1-032-14A_011.jpg)
Not only have I stepped foot in a mosque but I have even spoken in front of hundreds of people at mosques in 3 different continents. I was in the Jammat Tabligh dawah group from 2004-2006, and we would sleep in mosque's, 3 days in one mosque and then 3 days in another, from city to city and even country to country.
...I don't do that anymore, and I don't even make threads about Islam anymore. All I am doing is trying to fast for Ramadaan, and I still have ties to Islam and the masjid. But as I said before, I am a Libertarian (individualist) first, and a Muslim second.

Yeah Islam faith is really a good help in these times. I hear especially the al-Shabaab are doing a great job there.

Don't dodge it. How you feel about them? Are you ashamed cause they give Africans and Muslims a bad name, or do you believe that they are good people and just misunderstood?

Chill homie. He didn't really ask me a question. He was just talking shit. He wasn't asking me how I felt about Al-Shabab. I don't have any problem at all being asked my opinion on Al-Shabab...
...To answer your question, first and foremost I don't support Shariah Law. So any group who's objective is to create a Shariah Law government, I don't support that. As I said before, I am a Libertarian, I support individual rights and individual liberties. Also, from a strategic standpoint, Somalia must sell-out to the West and set up a puppet government. It is their only hope at this point, because whenever a Shariah government is established, they are immediately bombed into defeat by U.S. drones or NATO backed-Ethiopian fighters.
Moreover, Al-Shabab are even worse than your average Muslim group working to establish Shariah (like say Muslim brotherhood/Ikwani-Muslimeen for example). Al-Shabab believe in the most extreme and uncompromising brand of Islam called Salafi, or Wahabbi, that follows the Scholarship of 18th century scholar Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhab. These type of people don't believe much in the spiritual aspect of Islam, and place great importance on the length of ones beard, or the length of his pants, or make hour long tirades about Muslims in the backwoods of a remote jungle possibly praying at a mosque in which a grave might have been placed underneath. I never liked these types of Muslims (Salafi/Wahhabi's) even in my most devout days as a Muslim. But before I made the mistake of trying to improve relations with them, but I learned the hard way that I should always do my double-best to avoid them.

And in how many Muslim countries do they grant this? Basicially none. Is there any islamic state with real freedom of religion? In which muslim islamic state do women have your "individual liberties"? None. In nearly every country there is a form of Sharia Law imposed.
Don't act like only a minority of Salafists or Wahabbists are the only intolerant, narrowminded fucks. Islam is a backwarded, intolerant religion, all religions are, but Islam is amongst the worst.
lol @ this confused white kid who follows the most narrowminded religion on earth, a religion whose mindstate is still remained in a 7.th century tribal desert thinking, telling us about his "Libertarian"
attitude at the same time. You are a walking joke Infinite. Why don't you migrate into a muslim country, and then come back and tell us about how good islam corresponds with your free spirit.
