I had to go to the state's site to make sure this was up there. Perhaps they could give this to Gail Purkey with the Illinois Federation of Teachers and see if she can spot the spelling error since the state couldn't.
It's not like Christians haven't sold slaves here and there, but you have to open a history book to read about it. You can read about muslim slave trading by opening the classified ad section of a newspaper in many muslim countries.
Serfdom was always a part of Christian societies but the kind of evil slavery we associate with the word came into existence in the mid 1400s. What happened was that the Mongols opened up trade routes which had been shut down for a thousand years and, then 150 years later, Tamerlane, a muslim fanatic, shut them down again, and Europeans, haven gotten used to spices and other oriental goods, started sailing around Africa. When those ships put into west African ports for food and water, the Africans figured they were just more muslims come to buy slaves, and opened up the slave markets. Welling excess people off as slaves was simply business as usual in such places at the time.
y that guy really don't understand about son against father or vice-versa. Jesus mean, GOD is more important than parent unless parent follow GOD way! Yes, ten commandment did mention honour parent. What if parent break ten commandment. Jesus use "against" mean the will of a person. For example, father want to rape a woman but the son refuse to follow, instead protect the woman life. So, the son against the father action. That is what Jesus mean! It is true he didn't bring peace but sword coz' we love Christ and obey 10 commandment. If parent and child obey Christ word, there will be peace otherwside sword in the family. Those bastard...please try to read again and understand carefully. My GOSH!!!
For an explanation of how the Nation of Islam believes white people came into being, see below. The NOI has not repudiated these beliefs, they just don't talk about them much anymore. Yup someone from an outfit like this is sure to bring a special sensitivity to a hate crimes panel.
In the Nation of Islam, both God and the devil are human beings. Elijah Muhammad identified the devil as the white man, the Caucasian race. According to Elijah, though the black race is many trillions of years old, the white race began a mere six thousand years ago with Yakub, one of the Black Gods of this time cycle.[15]
Elijah explained, "The white race is not equal with darker people because the white race was not created by the God of Righteousness. . . . They were made by Yakub, an original Black Man—who is from the Creator. Yakub, the father of the devil, made the white race, a race of devils—enemies of the darker people of the earth. The white race is not made by nature to accept righteousness."[16]
According to Elijah Muhammad, Yakub was born 20 miles from the Holy City of Mecca about 6,600 years ago. From the age of six he knew he was "born to make trouble, break peace, kill and destroy his own people with a made enemy to the black nation." He had a very large head and grew up to be called "the big head scientist." He decided to conquer and subdue the black race, and through lies he gathered 59,999 followers, whom the King of Mecca exiled to the island of Patmos. There Yakub worked to create the white race by allowing marriage only between brown or lighter-skinned Negroes and by killing all newborn black babies. His followers obeyed him; the penalty for disobedience was decapitation.[17]
Yakub died after 150 years, but his project to make a race of lawless criminals lived on (Elijah's term for this misguided eugenics project was "grafting"). After two hundred years, only brown people were left alive. After another 200 years, Patmos was home to only yellow and red people. At the end of "the six hundredth year, Mr. Yakub had an all-pale white race of people on this Isle," said Elijah Muhammad.[18]
The white race left the island and returned to Paradise (Mecca). But in less than six months they had caused warfare and controversy among the people, so the King of Mecca had them escorted to Europe by "a caravan, armed with rifles, to keep the devils going westward." Here begins the white man's history, for he was granted six thousand years to rule the earth.
The first two thousand years were squandered while the whites lived as naked savages in the caves of Europe, eating their meat raw and without even a knowledge of fire. They tried to "graft" themselves back to black by reverse breeding, but succeeded only in making gorillas (this is the origin of the monkey and gorilla family).[19] Then Moses came to them. He taught them how to wear clothes, use fire, cook their food, and to believe in Allah. The whites rejected Moses, who set a trap and blew up three hundred of them with dynamite,[20] but it was through Moses' efforts that the teaching of civilization gradually seeped into the mind of the white man. Over the centuries, the white man used this knowledge, combined with his innate craftiness and "tricknology," to dominate the world.
The twenty-four God-Scientists who wrote the history of this world foreordained that the period of white rule should be limited to six thousand years. To accomplish this, "the Black Man or Gods were put to sleep in order that the Wisdom of the Black Man did not interfere with what the white man is made for (to rule us under wickedness, enslavement, deceit, murder, and death for six thousand years)."
But Min. Ishmael and Bro. Leonard adeptly dissipated the cloud of confusion, stressing the fact that the differences have always been an ideological debate that the Jewish community has avoided out of cowardice."
Well, the clarification certainly "dissipated the cloud of confusion" (although it had the surgical precision of your average shotgun blast) -- "Joos is just bad, and they afraid to admit it." Pretty clear.
