Fuck the Police-State!!!

Author’s note: This following poem is a commemoration, of the famous, classic Rap-Song, “Fuck The Police”, by the famous/infamous Rap-Group, known as “NWA/Niggas With Attitude”. Although, raunchy & vulgar as this particular hit was/is, it truly brought the point home, concerning how policing in Non-White neighborhoods, play-out, and are ethno-politically biased, from jump-street, and keep Continue reading

This talk about who the “Original-Man” was needs to be put to rest!!!

The 1st-Man, the Original-Man, was not a “Black-Man”, nor a “White-Man”, nor a “Yellow-Man”, nor a “Brown-Man”, nor a “Red-Man”, nor any Man, with a color attached to him…the 1st-Man was the Human, free from any (socio-ethnic/socio-racial, socio-cultural, ethno-centric, racial-centric, cultural-centric) constructs, differentiations, distinctions, etc. The 1st-Man, the 1st-Muslim & the 1st-Prophet, was Adam, the Continue reading

The Bitter Taste of the Fruit of Truth!!!

Pseudo sweet, not at all a pleasant treat.The vegetation of truth not at all discrete. Accepting Truth is like eating a medicated, yet, rotten, Apple…it is awful, but, good for you.As it masticates & circulates, throughout the body, it causes pain & it makes your face blue. You begin to choke, and, cough, out of Continue reading

Author’s note: Rabiah Kas`id is someone with a sound-mind & a kind-heart. He’s someone whom I’ve known for a very long time, I’d say, about a decade, at least.

Let’s Love for the Right-Reason:

“Boy meets Girl”…they become each other’s world. She buys him clothes, he buys her diamonds, pearls. But, is this “True-Love”, or is it just a “good-time”? Is it the “Long-Hall”, or a one-night “wine & dine”? When we use this word…L.O.V.E….what, exactly, does it really mean? Are we emotionally invested in someone, or is it Continue reading

Tawheed & Purification: Ending Gangsterism among Muslims in the West

Author’s note: Riyaad Abdul-Quayuum, my Muslim brother, my friend, has been through a lot, as a result of urbanized, environmental circumstances, choices within his life, to get where he is now today: husband, father, business-entrepreneur, yet, most-importantly, an evolved, civilized, Human being, through the noble-teachings of Islam. Here, Riyaad has graciously chosen to Continue reading

The Ballad of Somalia:

Author’s note: Here’s another great anonymous piece, about exploitation: “Sorry to buck the trend, my activist friend. But your activ-isms have created schisms in my land. Reminds us of days gone by.

Shari`ah & Women’s Rights in Islam: Who’s entitled to interpret it?

In the past decade, we’ve seen a huge debate around the concept of “Sharia: in America “, what it means, as well as what it’s implications are on Americans as well as to women, on a more global scale. I’ve known Carlin for a while and we’ve started to have some discussions on the matter. Continue reading
