Thanks for your reply Brother. I hope you are right about Ghaddafi. I hear The Minister speak about him well. But I happen to believe that it will be up to us to stop our oppression. Tell me what you think about the Arab. Do you hold him responsible in any way for our torment in Africa? It cant be denied that the Arab played a great part in our fall. Even if you are right about Ghaddafi though, the Arab rulers in Africa have to go. They are sitting on our land and resources.

Of course at the end of the day it's going to be up to us. Others can assist, but as a people we need to take charge of our reality. As far as "Arab's" go, that word is really ambiguous. Arab is just the name of people in that region of the world. Arab can refer to a dark skinned black man or pale skinned white man. For the most part, they're mixed with African blood (which explains their color) and they have African roots. The prob is they have adopted the mind of white people

@Ahmad770 That is a point of contention between The Minister and other revolutionary groups who tend to believe that the NOI is too Arab friendly. I do overstand that we are the originators of all the holy books. We are the original Jew and Arab. But now these devils have taken our history and called themselves the people of the holy books. Can we deal righteously with Arabs when the majority of them have like you said adopted the devils ways? Wont they sell us out in the end?

@DaddyKyan

My point is, most Arabs are original people...they are technically Black. So, to say we are too "Arab friendly" is insane in my opinion. I'm literally the same complexion as most Arabs...like them, we have white blood mixed in us as well. They have taken on the devils mentality as have ALL Black people. They have it worse because they've had no truth tellers like we have had. They need the knowledge of self and devil as we have gotten here in America..that's all that's needed

[DaddyKyan]

@Ahmad770 I feel what you are trying to say. I also appreciate how we are able to talk civil. Dont like arguing with my brothers. There is too much of that going on on You Tube. Traditional Arabs have perverted Islam in my opinion. They took our women as concubines in the slave trade so I feel they will be punished for that. Anyone who kills Gods Chosen will face consequences. They need a spook free version of Islam too. They look in the sky for salvation like the Christian.

@DaddyKyan

I def understand where you're coming from. I believe they are facing the consequences for deviating from the true path of Islam as we speak. The entire Muslim world is in chaos and disorder. Look at the Muslim countries. None of them really have peace. They are against themselves and it's going to take us in America to straighten them out because they have lost the way

@ederrick987 Time magazine invited many of the 100 most influential people to their anniversary Gala & Radio City music hall event that year (1998); Farrakhan was in attendance. This is touched on in Time magazine under an article entitled "With Voices Raised". Time magazine had two lists when they created this concept: "the 100 most influential" of the world for each year & "the 100 most influential people of the century".

@DRXCIX

Not that i don't believe the Minister should not be on such a list, he indeed belong on the list. However i checked the 1998 time 100 list and did not find Min Farrakhan name listed on there.

[harveysuperboy]

@Ahmad770 Agree.

RECOGNITION OF FARRAKHAN

In 1998, Time magazine listed Farrakhan as one of the 100 most influential people in America, a distinction only a handful of blacks received. Also, Time magazine's June 17, 1996th edition names Minister Farrakhan one of the top 25 most influential people. Vanity Fair recently identified the head of the Nation of Islam as one of 65 international leaders who "shape and rule the world."

Many thanks again for the posting....Bless!!!

We have to reclaim what is rightfully ours. The Arabs tried to clown Elijah Muhammad when he told them that God is in the Black man. They said he had blasphemed the Koran. Arabs believe in traditions more than the word. We have to take care of our own. The Arab wont get delivered until we are free. Then we can prove to the world the reality of our God hood.. So they will have no peace because they use Islam which means peace, as an instrument of war. We must rise above the Arab and the whiteman
