Pope needs Dope Test

Okay Suleyman, I know Bob Marley was a powerfull figure for uniting
Black people everywhere, but he was not a figure in Islam, am I
wrong?

Rastafarianism, although it holds some admirable tenets, has
nothing to do with Islam. They believe the old King of Ethiopia, Haile
Salassi (the lion of Africa) was actually a god.

Hanan: Is this really the �African approach to Islam?� I�am deeply hurt
by�being labeled a racist. I�CAN NOT be�a racist, believe me. I did not
intend to be nasty about UmmAmara�s approach to Islam, I simply do
not believe certain things"

I reckon you have as good a nose as Whisper on such things and I
defer to your intuition. I did not mean to label you a racist,
nevertheless, I think it's unwise to proclaim oneself incapable of such
a thing. Unfortunately we are all capable, you only have to look at
situations such as the Tutsi/Hutu slaughters, and the current
situation in parts of Sudan.

And I'm thinking also of our aquaintance, the ineffable Mighty Foi,
who is engaged in some kind of revenge racism. A natural reaction, (I
guess they feel), from African Americans after so many years of
being subjected to it. (There's always an excuse for racist attitudes.)

It seems to me Islam is absorbed into different cultures along with
the cultural baggage of that culture, resulting in variations on a
theme which are sometimes shocking, to those whose understanding
of Islam is different. Who is to say how one should believe? Is islam
as understood in Saudi Arabia better, more Moslem, than the Islam
practised in Iran, Turkey, or a South London suburb?

Each one of us has a unique, personal interpretation of our beliefs
which doesn't confer the right to judge another's.

I wasn't sure what Suleyman was getting at, he has very generously
bestowed me with some wisdom I seem to have ignored! But I
question the use of a Rastafarian's song to explain the impact of
Islam on Africa .... ?

UmmAmara seems to have a unique way of using English which I also had a problem with at first, I'm a bit more tuned in to her flow now. She has a 'sassy' voice, but she's young, and that's her style. She also has a distinct African kind of approach to Islam I think none of us here have been able to appreciate and some Brothers and Sisters are being nasty about that. I am ashamed to see such blatant racism and uncalled for attacks.

Dear Duende,

 

The issue is out of  the language skills neither being an distinct African nor on about her talking style...the issue is behind the scenes as an wise sister of you,you should have been realized, i believe now your heart has realized...

Uganda....Africa...poor life...lost hopes...abuses,lies...killings...starvings...being forgotten...paganism...disrespect...lost human rights...Islam...One Hope....the one they found at their ends...the one value they now have  in their whole life...the one way to escape...the first smile came after the cry of so many years...and now loudly speaks...take it back!....take it back!...take these words back!...

Seems like an mother cry while loosing her baby!...Islam is her baby and please let her being untouched by words...she has no obligation on being polite to Pope who  the one has the obligation on being polite to this world...

She closed her eyes to the world except Islam,because we are the African People who closed the file in this world only hoping from Allah...we are The African People saw the end of this world while you were not there,please forgive our voices coming up to you rude,please forgive us we are The African People coming in from the cold...please forgive us we were unable to read books and having our educations on science and sociology...we are coming in from the cold entering first steps to the happy days...please know that after these sincere rude voices our children will learn to move with wisdom and knowledge but please do not wait from us while trying to appear in the darkness....
