  • I love you Hersi and I'm You're biggest fan!! you're really great and talent!!<3<3

  • Comment removed

  • I love this! So proud to be Muslim and Somali right now!

  • @PoetNation Sad that a lot of people still have an irrational hatred and fear of Muslims

  • @Quran871 Funny that you say that he curses, but you do it yourself.

  • @MrStarter93 haha i also smoke weed does that mean grass is halal? pretending to curse, a girl without a hijab etc. im gonna quote some comments on this video "i would so do em... he is soo hot" "someone bring me this man i wanna marry him" ok i " im not muslim and im in love" i think you heard enough. is the comments about islam? is the vid about islam. are non muslims getting to seee islam. does it have to do with islam? no. i cursed sorry yes its haram. i dont make vids though

  • @Quran871 Well his not trying to promote Islam, so people can turn to it. His trying to explain that Islam does not equel Terrorisme.

    Btw he can't be responsible for what people say in the comment box. Yes it's haram to curse, but instead of focusing on that, then just listen to what he says - what his point is. Do you think it's smart to curse at him, because he curses?

  • Fuck it, I'm on the run for the month.... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • I would so DO em... he is hot!

  • i love this!! masha'Allaah <3

  • looooved

  • I can't say anything! am utterly amazed!!!.

    May Allah bless you always!.

  • He came to a mosque I was at to read this poem.

  • ahh this is the second time im watching this in the span of a few months. what still shocks me is the fact that the man fought for the country, and did his time, earned his stripes, and THEN gets checked "randomly??" Pleeaasee! Great poem nonetheless though bro

  • This touched my heart,

  • Whatever happened to listening to poetry with an open mind and heart? You do know that you choose what videos you want to watch. If you don't like what he's saying leave this video and find one to your liking. Seriously not that difficult.

  • @Bez29 Hear, hear

  • @AbdulMumeet1970 What's that?

  • @abdulmumeet1970 what does that mean? What u said he is

  • beautifully done. thanks for standing up for humanity

  • @farhan007 where u born into a Muslim family or did they all turn Muslim?

  • I love this!!!! So TRUE!! So very true. Thank you very much for this share. I will feature this one!

  • Talent + Truth = TNT

  • What a beautifully made video. 

  • "if you wanna know the truth, look into the foundations of my belief, in one dialog you'll hear it in my greeting : upon you i wish SALAM...which means Peace"

    WORD

  • He is right. still he fell for a religion.

  • This video is great. But just so you know, it's not just people of color, or Muslims who suffer, all kinds of people are suffering in all kinds of different ways every day. Gay kids committing suicide, women getting raped, poverty is colorblind - white people are starving too. Not trying to take away from this man's point of view, or his art, but we are all human. We need to acknowledge our common humanity.

  • this is good but one mistake my brother made is when he's saying..it was black who got raped but "your not black" we are black n muslim so am just sayin' separating from the rest of blacks living in america ain't good

  • @scmforchrist With all due respect, it is completely unnecessary for you to be uttering hate crimes committed by a group of Somalis and use it to divulge and stress your message-whatever that message may be. Among the many ideas this poem calls attention to, peace stands out. So please carry this message forward Pastor Andrew and please refrain from expressing negativity when you could be spreading the meaning of peace, transcending the boundaries of race and religion. May peace be upon you.

  • @scmforchrist Its similar to how the US government murdered Malcom X and tried to blame it on Islam. Outsiders no matter where you are likely to become the scapegoat when chaos reaches a certain unknown threshold. Somalians have seen the bible used in hypocritical ways just as much as they've seen the koran used in hypocritical ways. It starts there the same way it starts here; emotional conclusions being made while you have a gun in hand.

  • @scmforchrist The Roman Empire wrote the Holy Bible 300 years after Jesus Christ died. Jesus Christ preached against church, religion, and paying a man to preach the word of God to you. God is within. Church is the discussion between 2 or more people of God and life. What do you know about Jesus Christ besides what the Roman Empire let you know? How about how he went to a Buddha class and they have his signature to this day. Jesus was spiritual, not religious sir. Religion is human seperation.

  • This just featured on wwwdotmnsomalitimesdotcom

  • Every time I watch this I cry of how true it is

  • macha allah you good.

  • I absolutely love this.

  • this is so true and so good

  • You are talented.

  • @BackBlocks09 continuing on from my comment this is due to media negative outlook on us do to the actions of a few.... I simply want to show everyone in this poem that the popular belief in our country about muslims is wrong and we would be better off trying to understand one another....by the way I did lose friends to the war...I have deployed before and to top that off I know the pain people feel...FYI the first muslim state medina had christans and jews who lived in peace cause Islam said so

  • @BackBlocks09 hey my name is hersi....Im the one that actually did this poem...the problem Im talking about comes not from the military or america for that matter... and you are right about the fact that each human has their own walk of life...but in our today's society we have found ways to reject that mentality.... I fought this country not for its religion but for its ideals of freedom....however its very difficult for me to freely express my faith without a negative outlook...

  • @shirwahersi I fought for* correction

  • @BackBlocks09 @farhan007 Both of you chill, just listen to the awesome poem. And if you still got problems don't spam up the page, just message each other. (: Salaam

  • @BackBlocks09 I had to walk everywhere.

  • @BackBlocks09 omg... not the "I have seen things that no man has seen" bullshit.... again, we all have... i'm pretty sure you heard of Marjah... Well anyways, this ain't no who's dick is bigger contest. You still have not answered my question. You use your little 8 month experience to generalize 1.5 billion people on this planet. You are a retard. Go file for some ptsd claims... at least you didn't almost loose a leg. How nice was it to sit in that nice lav of yours with all that armor...

  • @BackBlocks09 its still sad that my buddies who fought along side me who have experienced a first hand account of what extremists can do to you who have lost close friends to those extremists have a better understanding of not generalizing better than you who has probably had ZERO negative encounters with Muslims.

  • @BackBlocks09 Look this argument is never going to end. Arguments online never have the other side saying "O, maybe you are right." I thought maybe i can instill some common sense into you. Or maybe I can make him realize he is making a blanket statement about ONE-SIXTH OF THE WORLDS POPULATION. Winning an argument on youtube is like winning the special Olympics. At the end of the day you are still retarded. You will always be a bigoted prick and my family will always be Muslim.

  • @BackBlocks09 wtf is my country? If white christians moved to the United States? There are plenty of them here bro. Last time i checked when I put my gear on it has a American flag patched above where my grenade pouches are. My people live here. I have nothing to do with foreigners overseas and same with my family and any other Muslim U.S. citizen. They are as American as any other American with a U.S. passport.

  • @BackBlocks09 Muslim.... my family doesn't need to apologize to you for something they didn't do. So what should I have expected if people giving me the stink eye is the least they could be doing? What? Should all of us go into concentration camps?

  • @BackBlocks09 wow my nation? The united states of America is my nation... I was born and raised here and almost lost a leg for this country... so in other words I have sacrificed more for my country than you ever will. You haven't answered any of my questions yet. What is the quota for our ass kissing untilled you are satisified? Because I can give you countless number off news articles, vidoes etc on how ordinary Muslim citizens denounce, protest terrorism. I'm sorry I'm brown and my family is

  • @BackBlocks09 we are fucked either way huh... Do you know how many times i get the stink eye from some random redneck like you walking around just because i'm brown(middle eastern looking)... yet I'm a purple heart U.S. Marine veteran? So you would have to excuse me on being so pissed off at someone like you. Its not because I'm a terrorist but because people shit on us all the time here.

  • @BackBlocks09 Marine Infantry Battalion. No one else is in charge of me or represents who I stand for. Muslims who are U.S. Citizens do not need to speak out and apologize for a group of sick freaks who have nothing to do with them.

    PS what is the quota for how much ass kissing Muslims in the states need to do before shit heads like you are satisfied? Because search youtube and you will see PLENTY of Muslim Americans go on fox news, cnn, protest on the streets against terrorism. SO either way

  • @BackBlocks09 Did you apologize for killing and taking away land from all the native Americans, or did you apologize for the slave trade, or the colonization of Africa and Asia? Your white so you are responsible for telling those people you do not like killing and enslaving people that have a different skin color than you.

    Or you can just be reasonable and realize that religion is between man and their god. There is no hierarchy in Islam. My leadership is my company commander in a

  • @BackBlocks09 o i'm sorry I didn't know you can't be pissed at retards or other wise I would be a terrorist....

    Do you want me to wear a shirt that says I don't stone women and blow up buildings... Would that make you feel like I atoned for my sins?

  • @BackBlocks09 some random evil sick minded bastards 1,000 miles away you can kneel down on your knees can go ahead and suck my dick and maybe I will. People like you make me sick.

  • @BackBlocks09 Really? I didn't know my family had leaders? Every Muslim I know religion is between god and them. This ain't Catholicism. Why should U.S. citizens explain to other U.S. citizens verbally "Hey, we don't rape, stone women." Because of their religion? My people? You treat this as if it is a race or an ethnicity... You need to get your damn terminology straight. My "people" if nothing to do for the retards over seas and if you think i need to apologize for

  • @BackBlocks09 so Christians I fight along side with and are close buddies with think i'm going to eternal hell fire. You need to somehow magically raise your intelligence. Muslims families in the states are well integrated and really just want to live their lives in peace. I know because I'm part of one and know dozens more. So i think my experience out weighs your little instances with Muslims.

  • @BackBlocks09 I agree with you in one part... all religion is retarded.... but my intelligence is at a higher level than yours because I don't blanket 1 billion people under my little experience I had for 7 months dealing with one fucking village.

  • @BackBlocks09 says me bitch... you dealt with Muslims in one part of the world for 7 months I have for 24 years.... so I say so. I know dozens of Muslim families in the states and all of the females are encouraged to study and have an education. In fact a Bachelors degree ain't enough in my family. No were in the Quran does it say anything about females not allowed education. Middle Eastern cultures are barbaric but Islam does not disallow females receiving education.

  • @BackBlocks09 Heck i'm the least educated person in my family since I'm an enlisted Marine grunt. What you saw there was not religion at work but culture. If you didn't realize that then you are a retard. There are many dominant Muslim countries out there that allow females to educate themselves. Heck there are a couple dominant Muslim nation out there that have done something that USA has NEVER done.... have a women at the head of their government. ex: Bangladesh.... so stfu you ignorant bitch

  • @BackBlocks09 bitch what do you know about Muslims? My entire family both on my mom and dad's side are devout Muslims. I'm the only non Muslim in my family(personal decision), How much money do you wan't to put down that all the females in my family(cousins, mother, aunts etc) are more educated than your family's. I have currently 2 female cousins attending med school.... One of them attending Baylor College of Medicine. I have 2 twin cousins going for their masters.

  • @63memnoch do you know what muslims say as a greeting? we say peace be upon you, do you know why we fast ramadaan? to practice self restraint, we are not allowed to get angry, we must control our anger, we are not allowed to lay a hand on anyone, or our fast is broken, but the facts don't matter to people like you, do they?

  • @63memnoch Seriously dude . You need to grow up and really read your holy book (if you believe in religion) . Every Holy Book includes lines such as : To help one another , forgiveness and most importantly to stop discrimination. So fuck off , if you dont have anything nice. :)

  • wow hands down Hersi mashallah !! Thats is what i am talking about !!

  • A...ma....zing!!! manshallah

  • 8 people are islamaphobic

  • 0:48 so true-LOOLL happens in my scholl daily!! but really good poem!!

  • mashallah!

  • Now,I am not denying that there is a kind of stereotyping done to Muslims , I am certainly against it...but what I was just trying to do was to put the facts on the table

  • I do agree that your greeting is ASALAAMU ALAYKUM(peace be with you) but a quick check will get u confirmed that it is not to be used to initiate a greeting to a christian or a jew!! The Prophet (pbuh) said:

    “Do not initiate the greeting of salaam to a Jew or a Christian”

    (Narrated by Muslim, 2167).

    if they initiate the greeting then(according to some scholars ) you are allowed to reply,but there is no consensus on this!! Just thought that people would like to know...

  • @mmajonson actually your wrong muhammad( pbuh ) says you should greet everyone with salam and in the quran it is says to wish everyone peace because allah doesnt want misery upon people also prohpet jesus( pbuh) greeted everyone with salam please check your knowledge know before you speak ill elha ill allah wa muhammadur rasoullah

  • @MrAdnar Sir , I have sent you a message showing the proofs I have with me to support my claims..I have even given one right here itself but I dont think that was enough for you. After going through that I am sure one can really know whose knowledge is to be checked !! And if you insist on creating something that Allah and his Prophet(pbuh) has not said then so be it ...I dont have anything more to say ...Peace ..

  • wow.. this is great!!!!! (:

  • You should take your spoken words across the globe. Mashallah Gr8 Stuff

  • I can't believe what I am hearing, this man is a nice well respected man and fighting with US doesn't make him a sell out or a devil, he killed terrorism, maybe USA stole oil or w.e but he am pretty sure he wouldn't run and kill innocent children...you Muslims who are degrading him have probably committed sins too, no one is perfect so show some respect and be proud and join his side instead of hating and dividing Muslims apart, we stay together

  • @Shabaab0Almujahideen The amount of support and encouragement he's getting for this just show how ignorant the majority of the Somali community are on issues of al-Wala wal Baraa.

    Our allegiance is to Allah, His Messenger, and the Mujahideen!

  • Thumps Up If you want this brother be famous

  • what kind of music is this please it so beautiful! ?? thanks God bless

  • Dude, you're a firework! Come on, bro, let your colors burst!!!

  • @Shabaab0Almujahideen So you are hating on the poet on what grounds, and why are you opposing me in my preferance for the artist's content and message... I am honestly confused and misunderstand your reasoning for calling him a sell out and disgracing his message and story.

  • WOW!!

    

  • Does anyone know were i could find a written version of this poem?

  • Mashallah

  • I had to listen to this twice Nicee

  • Manshallah u did a gr8 job Adam.

  • Wow! This brother is highly talented! The message is powerful and his style is engaging. Also, the video, acting and everything is great! I love it!! Kudos to all involved in the project.

  • I Loved This Mashallah Very Talented Guy

  • Islam is our greatest test of worthiness, if they will hate me because i love Allah and wish to live by his words, then by all means hate me, for your hate is only in this deceiving temporary world, and the love of god never dies..

    "اللهم كفاني فخرا أن تكون لي ربا وكفاني عزا أن أكون لك عبدا انت كما أريد...فاجعلني ربي كما تريد"

  • THIS IS SO TRUE YO MASHALLAH 

  • "Because the Last Time I CHECKED... Terrorism and Terrorist .. ARE NOTTT A Religion" AMAZZINNG. Verryy nicely said. :)

  • Mashallah this is soooo beautiful. May Allah bless this brother over and over again. May Allah help those ignorant people and give them knowledge.

  • Mashallah...I would like to know who disliked this video!!

  • waaw not only what he said is true, but also inspires lot of people. good job brother, you are the man..

  • Watching it again and again and again .... truth is beautiful

  • 1 AM PROUD TO BE MUSLIM AND JUST AS PROUD TO BE BLACK IN THIS

    RACIST COUNTRY AND WORLD THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @mandlbakr Sir , may i ask why your are proud to be Muslim?? Is it because you are allowed to kill the Non Believers and not pay any blood money?? Are you telling me that Islam is actually spreading peace than hatred?? I have nothing against Muslims(as long as they are moderates) but I do have something against Islam and its Prophet...I have done my share of research and have realized that the so called peace verses Muslims project are completely taken out of context .

  • @mmajonson I would reply but i am to appalled by your caste system and the hate I seen propagated.

  • @mandlbakr I have not propagated any hate ...if anyone is propagating hate, its Islam against the nonbelievers... What do you expect us to do when Islam calls on its followers to spread the msg and if refused to use the sword?? Don't we have any right to live?? when I ask any Muslim about these they think the same way you did...that i am spreading hate...Really??? Is it me who is spreading the hate?? I would appreciate it if you could clarify my misunderstanding if there is any...

  • Respond to this video...I used to be a sympathizer with the Muslims earlier when i used to see movies like "Islam: what the west needs to know" thinking that they were just hate propaganda against them,but later when i saw Scholars like Shayk muhammed munajid a prominent sunni in Saudi Arabia support those views everything changed for me ..I dont know if you believe that Muslims and nonMuslims should peacefuly coexist...but if you do then according to ur scholars u r guilty of bida!!

  • @mandlbakr I used to be a sympathizer with the Muslims earlier when i used to see movies like "Islam: what the west needs to know" thinking that they were just hate propaganda against them,but later when i saw Scholars like Shayk muhammed munajid a prominent sunni in Saudi Arabia support those views everything changed for me ..I dont know if u believe that Muslims and nonMuslims should peacefuly coexist...but if u do then according to ur scholars u r guilty of bida ( innovation in religion)!!

  • @mmajonson good to know you learnt alot by watching a small sample of videos. Dude if you want to know what islam stands for and is, first dont look at the people who claim to follow it. Look at the legislation that every muslim should follow which is the quran and look upon the history of the man that every muslim looks up to and claim to follow who is the prophet muhammad peace be upon him.

  • Great! What's Hersi's full names? Where can I listen to his other work?

  • He is from the Nation of Poets.

  • @huizenvoorjou becareful when passing judgement. its a sign of a hard heart.

  • @huizenvoorjou dude back off allah in the quran says to protect the country in which you are living in so you have no room to talk may allah forgive you on giving advise on which you do not know you were wrong to put him down or speakon which no knowledge was used allah says to defend your country in the name allah so please find some other means may allah forgive you

  • so if a plane hijacked and crashes in to a building with over millions of people inside you would just stand aside and not do a damn thing about it

    well i think that shows a weak nation if terrorist attack but we also need to show that the US isnt just some hate, war, hungry, blood thursty nation

  • Proud of what??? That he happily served the military to fight between the americans?? Nd then finally realized that he isnt one of them?? Im sorry but I wish the brother good life...but I lost respect for him The guy is such a hypocrite... he accepted to fight his muslim brothers nd nw he is defending Islam?!

  • @gryphen,as one of the "white folk" u speak of, u make me embarrassed and ashamed to be catagorized next to u. He's saying that America claims equality for all in vain and there is still work to be done. Because he is Muslim, he is feared to be a terrorist by ALL kinds of AMERICAN people. Because I am white, I am feared to be an opressor by the opressed. I understand why and so does he. People like us are just calling for change so we can claim freedom for all in ernest. Thnx 4 proving the point

  • KEEP IT UP aboowo! YOU ARE AWSOME and I AM PROUD! very PROUD ilaahey khair hakusiiyo.

  • Mashallah

  • nice !!!!

  • meh...alternate title: "dear white folks, i'm sad and angry, please give me your acceptance so i can feel fully human."

  • Why should they respect you? You're a sell out.

    Fighting and killing other Muslims for the sake of America.

    Allahul Musta'an, this is the condition our Ummah is in.
