[Imam Talib Abdur-Rashid]

That nonsense about the "Qur'anic term jihad" is not true and a purposeful distorion of a statement that I made which is readily available on the 'Net. Whoever did that was trying to misrepresent what I say, by decontexualizing my words and framing them in their own context (hey, is that what you're doing with reagrds to the Time Square anti-war demo? And yes, I did work with Rev. Sharpton around the killing of an innocent, unarmed African Muslim named Amadou Diallo. As for the rest, my politics and such are no secret as a "google" search will reveal.I make no apologies for where I'm coming from. I find it so interesting though, that of all the things about me that can be pulled down on the 'Net, you chose to pull what you have with no mention of my long track record of all kinds of humanitarian work, peace-making, inter-faith relations, etc. etc. That sort of thing is what makes ME have notions of "suspect intentions".
good night to you sir

re: the jihad statement:

go to "www.beliefnet.com/story/4/story_475_1.html" , or do a "google" search under "imam talib abdur-rashid, jihad", and then click "Beliefnet.com", and while you're at it, click the one that reads, "the concept of jihad in islam" from religioustolerance.org

And yes, I did work with Rev. Sharpton around the killing of an innocent, unarmed African Muslim named Amadou Diallo.

Was about H. Rap Brown, a domestic terrorist and recently jailed cop killer, now known as Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin?

Was he a "innocent, unarmed African Muslim" too?
