And so now if he wants to get into orgy heaven he has to kill Jews and Christians. Evil.

Did Kareem know that Islam was the main facilitator of Black slavery in the ancient world right up to the 19th century. That is, ahem, Lew, you converted to one of the most racist religions in history. How's that working for ya? Wink-wink, nudge nudge...

When you take away the identity of being, say, an American, or a Jew or a Christian, people desperately search for a replacement, something that gives them a reference point saying...there I am. Our government and schools have industriously swept away all the old identities, I suppose so we could all be better liberals, since those things are at their core, anti-liberal. But in so sweeping away the road signs they should not be surprised when lost people end up in strange and undesirable places rather than utopia.

I used to be Lew Alcindor, the pale reflection of what white America expected of me. Everything is about race. He could not get past the second paragraph without mentioning skin color.
I'm a victim. I'm a victim. Waaaaaaaaaaaa! Sick of it.

I’ve met him while working. He seems like an OK guy. Not really friendly, but he has so many people swarming all over him every where he goes. It must be a difficult life.
I know he worked for that and he played for the adulation. His outward appearance is a defense against the crowds of people wanting a piece of him.
If his religion gives him peace, fine. I am no a fan of Islam. But in the decades since his conversion he has not chopped off anyone’s head.
And based on his physical appearance, he couldn’t lift a sword anyway.

Cassius Clay converted to Islam, too. Long about the time he was up for the draft.
Meanwhile, who was the icon that took his drafting and did his time? He came back from it bigger than ever.

One of the great con-jobs in history, to get the descendants of slaves to identify with the creators of the international slave trade.

” The failure of the church to use its might and influence to stop slavery and instead to justify it as somehow connected to original sin made me angry. “ ( from the article)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I suppose he never heard about the Wilberforce or the other Christian abolitionists.
Is he aware of the role of Islam in selling slaves both in the past and **TODAY**?

Why I converted to IslamBecause Christianity and Judaism are full of white people.
