Sekou Jackson is used to the questions: Why does he need to leave a work meeting to pray? Don't black Muslims convert to Islam in jail? Why would you even want to be Muslim?
"It's kind of a double whammy to be African-American and Muslim," said Mr. Jackson, who studies the Navy at the National Academy of Science in Washington. "You're going to be judged."
Mr. Jackson's struggle may have gotten harder when the FBI on Wednesday raided a Detroit-area warehouse used by a Muslim group. The FBI said the group's leader preached hate against the government, trafficked in stolen goods and belonged to a radical group that wants to establish a Muslim state in America. The imam of the group's mosque, a black American named Luqman Ameen Abdullah, was killed in a shootout with agents. The FBI says he resisted arrest and fired a gun...

Blacks need to realize that it was the Muslims who invented black slavery. A thousand years of ripping blacks out of Africa and into brutal Arab slavery. Why are there no blacks in Arab lands? Easy. All were castrated. Look at Sudan. The feelings remain.
I was about to make the same point. If I were to guess, I would think that those converting to Islam in this country, do not know of it’s history. Particularly as it applies to the slave trade.
I read the article and was dumbfounded by this line
I don't see any equality, only oppression. Have multiple wives, discipline and smack them into submission.
Have they no idea what the arab moslems are doing to the African moslems in the Sudan?
They may be converted without the full understanding of what islam teaches as I find it hard to believe that a rational person could accept it, knowing the full truth!
The arabs were the big slave traders in Africa and they are still dealing in slavery!
Yes but you have common sense and most of them don’t.
“Have they no idea what the arab moslems are doing to the African moslems in the Sudan?”
No, they haven’t got a clue.
“despite”??
I suspect many blacks who are ‘attracted to Islam’ are aware of Islam’s violent, discriminatory nature and see it as a way to justify acting out their antisocial and racist impulses.
“Blacks in U.S. drawn to Islam because of radicals”
there, fixed it
*** Don’t black Muslims convert to Islam in jail? Why would you even want to be Muslim?****
Because Islam gives religious sanction to Rape, Murder, Robbery, Sadism, Extortion, and assorted other evils.
It works the same in other countries where criminals see Islam as a way to go to “heaven” if killed commiting a crime.
And then there are the 72 virgins if killed.
I worked in a prison for ten years and yes a large number of black inmates made the claim that they had converted to islam. For awhile I was in charge of what civilians call “the hole.” We called it Ad Seg. It was funny to watch when it came time to serve breakfast on a day when bacon and eggs was offered as a choice if they didn’t want hot cereal or some other item. All of the anti-pork and the keep yourself pure crap went out the window. Even some of the most devout who wouldn’t eat pork as a rule made an exception for fresh bacon. In my opinion, the black inmates seemed to think Christianity was a white religion and embracing islam was a form of rebellion against whites and the white peoples God.
I think you’re right about some people choosing islam just as an excuse to do wrong. People who are wanting to do wrong are always looking for excuses and islam is an excuse many of them find.
Very few American Blacks no any signficant history. For that matter, most Whites no very little significant history.
“see any equality, only oppression. Have multiple wives, discipline and smack them into submission”
What do you think rap music promotes? Multiple women, multiple kids from multiple women, and keeping hos ‘in their place.’
