Nation of Islam minister sees `universal' approach

Associated Press Writer Saturday, Feb. 28, 2009
ROSEMONT, Ill. -- A top Nation of Islam minister said Saturday that while the Chicago-based movement has primarily focused on blacks since its creation, he envisions expanding a racially universal approach across the globe.
"You can see God's message and the good in that message is for all human beings," Ishmael Muhammad, the religion's national assistant minister, said in an interview with The Associated Press. "If we don't change, then we sentence ourselves to death."
Muhammad, 44, said the Nation of Islam has been on an "evolutionary course." He appeared at an annual Saviours' Day event in a Chicago suburb, where Minister Louis Farrakhan was expected to address a crowd of thousands on Sunday.
The Nation of Islam religion has embraced black nationalism since it was founded in the 1930s, but in recent years has moved to include other groups, including immigrants, Asians and Native Americans.
Muhammad, who has lived in Mexico, has been a major part of that push, appearing at numerous immigrant rights events and addressing crowds in both English and Spanish.
The Nation of Islam does not release its membership numbers, but leaders at the conference said membership growth continues overseas, with mosques in the Caribbean, the African nation of Ghana and parts of Europe, including France, England and Russia.

What? No Caucasian Americans? Oh wait, I forgot. They are the Oppressors who need to be removed. Never mind.
The “god” he follows is definitely hoping for a “universal” approach....
No whiteys allowed in the Mothership.
Think I will pass Ishmael. You go on chasing the white whale of socialist utopia. Alone. And you are ALONE.
The leftist dream of a race and sexual-orientation based rainbow alliance is just that, a dream. Blacks and Hispanics generally don’t like each other, and neither group is fond of gays.
“You can see God’s message and the good in that message is for all human beings,”
I agree, if the message is followed with “ if you believe in his son, Jesus Christ”.
“W. D. Fard taught that the white man is the result of genetic manipulation by an evil black scientist named “Yakub.” Through a special method of birth control, Yakub bred the black out of his experimental creatures until they were white. This took about 600 years to accomplish.
According to the theology of Elijah Muhammad, black really is the symbolic color of good and white symbolic color of evil. His reasoning is that all colors are present in black, and all colors are taken out of white. His conclusion is that the whiter Yakub’s creatures became, the less good there was in them and the more evil there was in them. The final product was so evil, they became devils.
Black Muslims call the white man Blue Eyed Devils and blame all of the suffering in the world upon them. The creation of the white man occurred some 6,600+ years ago.”
From the Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam website, FinalCall.com...
Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We are happy today to be standing side by side with the Nation of Islam. We believe, like the Nation of Islam and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad believe, in a nation of our own. We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology. We dont worry about the criticism. We love all of those who labored in the Panther Party from the 60s. Many are with us today."

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

If we had a ministry of art and culture in every city we'd create this movement [in the U.S.]."

Excerpt from The American Thinker
Article: Obama, Black Liberation Theology, and Karl Marx
May 28, 2008
Understanding that black liberation theology is Marxism dressed up to look like Christianity helps explain why there is no conflict between Cone's "Christianity" [James Cone is the father of Black Liberation Theology -etl] and Farrakhan's "Nation of Islam." They are two prophets in the same philosophical (Marxist) pod, merely using different religions as backdrops for their black-power aims.

“Asians and Native Americans.”
I wonder if these idiots understand the contempt in which many Asians hold blacks in general.
Kin’ you say “Ash heap of History” boys and girls?
I knew you could.
All of my fellow half-breed “Asian-Americans” raise your hands.
Methinks the Nation of Islam is running short of recruits.
Nah, they have a ready and growing supply from the Prison System. It will only increase over time.
I’m a half-breed “Hispanic-American.” I’m just feeling the love from the Nation of Islam. Not.
It goes both ways. Lots of blacks hate Asians. Remember the Rodney King riots? I was there, in Los Angeles. I could see smoke from the fires from my house.
Blacks who blame Asians for all their problems are just as bad and wrong as blacks who blame whitey for everything.
Dang, we wouldn't want that to happen, would we?
