Jihadis in the Hood: Race, Urban Islam and the War on Terror

I understand. What do you expect from a site that has 20 times the amount of sexual boards than any other. The site does tend to attract the sheep. I know I've several bash boards set up against me as well as several parody accounts.

This is a pretty gloomy article, if hope is what you are looking for in the Black Culture and inner cities.

Liberals have worked hard at making the conditions which have destroyed black families and jobs in the cities through Urban Renewal and the Great Society. We have sown the wind and are reaping the whirlwind. The author erroneously blames Reagan/Bush for a lot of the pathology in the cities, but he does get a lot of the rest right.

Islam is not the "hope" for blacks, it is a dead-end for any culture. Christianity is the real hope for their future. So are the freedoms, free enterprise, decent education and enlightened (not Liberal) institutions which stem from good and honest government. Blacks have been denied all that by the Liberal/corrupt urban machine elites who prefer their votes and control rather than their genuine welfare.

It's amazing blacks are so blind to those who have been so oppressing them and yet they continue to support them. One can understand their anger against "the system". But, who runs "the system" in these hell-holes, anyway? Certainly not conservatives or those who believe in and try to practice our Constitution! They were driven out long ago.

"many guys just dabble in it as a way to rationalize their prejudices, without becoming orthodox Muslims.

I have been teaching in an inner city high school in south Florida for about six years now, and let me tell you, these areas are RIPE for recruitment by radical islamists to their cause. The kids who are not already active in their Church (that's the ones in fragmented families or without a strong maternal presence in the home) are at significant risk.

These kids are easily manipulated and led. Most show a proclivity for violence and most hold an viewpoint of whites and republicans that is erroneous at the least and hate filled at the worst. Life on their street is violent and filled with gangs and drugs. ANYBODY who comes along and offers them a chance to "make a difference foir the black man" is going to find it the happy hunting ground.

I have warned local and state officials and have gotten a fairly decent reception for the most part from some law enforcement I have spoken with on this matter.

Considering that the culture of the modern succesful black family in America is often matriarchal, I have to question how well the women-as-livestock religion can actually penetrate?

Great post. Ping for reference.

The only guy who has a rational explanation for the phenomenon you both describe (i.e. , white people adopting "black culture" or pretending to be black) is George Carlin. Check it out

toenail, what a great find which is a great timeline of this problem with documentation. I have bookmarked it.

Ernest thanks for the ping.

This is a long but and excellent documented article of the problem we have been investigating and posting about for over a year.

I have bookmarked this article so people can come to my home page to read it. Or you may want to bookmark it.

This is a prime example of how Political Correctness will kill all of us if not stopped.

Nation Of Islam Q and A

[Semaphore Heathcliffe]

For a sobering look at these potential Islamists, check out Monster, by Kody Scott AKA Sanyika Shakur. Basically there are whole generations of guys who've done nothing all their lives but wage warfare against other gangs and LEOs. Should these combat veterans decide to make coordinated forays into the soft,white underbelly of suburbia, whether or not they're motivated by anti-American Islamism, it would be an interesting day at the office.

"What up G" is "What up God"?

Hmmm, being a white guy that grew up in Chillltown (Jersey City, NJ), my ghetto slang is very old school.  I picked up this greeting along the way and still greet a high school buddy of mine (sheesh, 20 years already) with the greeting "What up G", never knowing what the "G" meant.  I've got some news for him!  :-)

Read here recently Shaquille O'Neal just joined the Nation of Islam, and got married (Farrahkan was at the wedding.)

"Read here recently Shaquille O'Neal just joined the Nation of Islam, and got married (Farrahkan was at the wedding.)"
That certainly explains Shaq's liberal use of "Farrahkan-ese" in his idiotic ramblings about rival Chinese player Yao Ming.

Islam will never catch on in the hood. Too many restrictions.
