Shaquille O'Neal Joins Farrakhan's Fold!

SHAQUILLE JOINS FARRAKHAN'S FOLD

TIRED of his partying ways, Shaquille O'Neal not only got married, he changed his religion as well. Spies said the Los Angeles Lakers star, formerly a Christian, is now a Muslim and good buddies with Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan. "They are very close," said our source.

Farrakhan was even said to have presided over O'Neal's wedding to the mother of his three children, Shaunie Nelson, on Dec. 26 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. But a rep for People magazine which covered the wedding said, the official officiator was Judge Greg Mathis, although Farrakhan was a guest.

"Shaq is trying to keep his conversion under wraps because of all the anti-Muslim sentiments right now," we're told. O'Neal's agent, Mike Parris, said, "I don't comment on my clients' personal lives or religious beliefs."

Thats one more reason to dislike the lakers, haqk, and lowbeam as far as I am concerned.
I am also concerned about all the muslims in america. The anti american, anti white man theocracy that is being taught daily will erupt sooner or later.
Our constitution gives one freedom of religion, nonetheless a religion that teaches america must fall, christians and jews must die, the rest must convert to islam or be killed has to stopped.
I am sure our forefathers were wary of the islam religion and how its main goal was to convert the world, but I dont believe I have read any of their thoughts on the subject.

Many thousands of black kids in sneakers. If true, this is a big score for Farrakhan.

Not necessarily.

Name one prominent sports star that is a member of Farrakhan's hoodlum organization that is still considered "popular."

This is a big gamble for Shaq, who stands to lose more than Farrakhan can gain.

Some of what Islam teaches is right out of the Communist Manifesto. Though thugs like Al-Qaeda are stretched too thin to attack in the same way that Communist empires of the past did, this rather unpleasant strain of racism is just as intimidating.

Where's Joseph McCarthy when you need him???

For the life of me, I don't understand why Americans continue to financially support professional sports. Your money is going directly into the coffers of criminals, drug abusers, black militants, and muslims.

Sports is the opiate of the masses. It distracts a large number of people from the state of affairs of the world around them. This is not too much unlike ancient Rome, where the gladiators became as famous as the sports stars of today. Many Romans were obsessed with the sporting events of their day while their culture and society were decaying to the point of collapse. Personally, I can't stand sports and have no use for them. Guess thats from growing being the kid who everyone argued over who's team I would be on during recess ("You take him!...No way, he sucks! You take him!).

I honestly believe that the Republicans would not have taken both houses of Congress back in 1994 if there wouldn't have been a pro baseball strike, which basically canceled the World Series. With that out of the way, there was a lot more time for those people to pay attention to what was going on in Washington DC.

I forgot to mention all the anti jew news that we are being hit with lately.
It seems everyday I hear about jews being hated in some parts of the world.
So now haqk has become a jew and white man hater. noone can convince me that haqk can convert, hang around with a vile racist like louis and not follow the doctrine.
The devil and his minions are very busy. I believe this decade will be a very bloody one.

O'Neal has shown a propensity to make poor judgments and decisions in the past, but his talent on the court and his overall appealing pesonality have mitigated them.

This decision indicates that he's still cognitively challenged, an overgrown adolescent in many ways. It remains to be seen just how deeply he will buy into Farrakhan's doctrine of hate.

Another "offensive foul" by Shaq. He rarely gets called for them, probable will slide by on this one also.

Good for Shaquille!

Anything that leads to anyone taking control of their lives and the lives of their children through marriage, self control and responsibility is OK by me.

I hope this serves him well.

SPloon, you got your butt kicked when this story was posted previously.

And you left many questions posed to you unanswered.

Like, What is your screenname at DU?

O'Neal also recently refused to play on 2004 US Olyimpic Basketball team.

Professional athletes and underage children should be banned from the Olympics anyway.
Only true amateurs over the age of 21 should be permitted to compete.

A radical Muslim is the same in any country. Farrahkan's "message" is not the message of Elijha Muhammad. Elijha Muhammad's message died with him. Killed by Malcolm X and those of like mind who succeed him.

Look...Just because I'm not a bigot like you, that doesn't mean I'm a member of DUhhh. Of course you knew that, didn't you?

Go try to bait someone who isn't brighter than you. I'll bet some of your buddys over at Stormfront.com are pretty dim.

You would deny us that riviting performance by Sarah Jones from the last olympics? Just to name one of numerous examples.

And if it wasn't for those under 21, women's gymnastics would be nothing but a bunch of short fat chicks.

An amature is an amature, no matter the age.

I kind of agree with your stance on professionals but I don't think we should disqualify ours until the rest of the world disqualifies theirs. Which will never happen.

Who the hell cares what these overpaid and guilt ridden entertainment and sports figures think. They are already forming a third party with all their money derived from the masses of amused and stupid spectators of life.

Having said that..the Stones Rule!!! and Keith Richards is amazing.

Because they have no moral compass what-so-ever. Scary isn't it?

It is getting harder and harder to care about what these thugs in uniforms are doing on the field and on the court

Very well said. Except it's just like Hollywood: there are enough people who line up and buy tickets to keep these arrogant jerks rich and scornful of what we think.

Could be you're thinking of a different Sarah Jones.
I simply did a Google search on "Sarah Jones Olympics" and got my info here: U.S. Women's Rowing Team
