People forget that we have both Islamic and Non-Islamic sources documenting the life of Muhammad.
Not sure if you understand the significance of this statement.^ Anyway...
Regardless, is there a particular reason you and others on here want Muhammad to be Caucasian and dislike the fact that the are black Muslims? Is there are lack of understanding that you have that leads to you believe that it really even matters?
I mean, he wasn't white in the way we are trying to make him out to be. He may have been light skinned, but Arabic people back then were both black and light skinned just like today in America. Same way someone with Condelezza Rice's skin complexion can have a majority European ancestry.
To point to slavery, skin color, race, and other random sh1t, to make arguments against why some black man shouldn't even consider practicing Islam is idiotic. So most of you on here are idiotic.
I don't know a more simple way to explain it than to say- actions done by humans motivated by human desires and greed, isn't reason to say no one should believe in anything those people believed in.
Islam isn't a slavery religion or a white or black religion. It's just peace. People take any concept and make it what they want and do things in its name. Why should this be any different?
Look at all your statements, other statements.. and this one by VVD
"Muslims put their religious identification above anything else including their own race. Almost none of these dudes even the so-called moderates will ever look at those who aren't their "brothers" as equal in humanity. That **** is a toxic cult. "
What I get from reading this thread is that none of you know regular black Muslims in real life. Most of you have a unwarranted dislike for Muslims. You all believe that Arabia was basically 100% 'white' and don't understand anything about race or how the Western world has classified people in Northern Africa and Arabia as Caucasian. Most of you don't know anything about Islam- AT ALL.
In Islam everyone is equal.. not just Muslims. Muslims are Islamic brothers, but all animals, humans, and plants are treated with equal respect.
Slavery and other things done by Muslims were motivated by historically common human motivations.. not by Islam. smh.
Religious identification and racial identification are two different things to most Muslims. It wasn't random EMO atheist lames, who inspired black people in America to feel they are Not less than animals.... Black Muslims are the ones that had a large part in making us feel proud. NTM it's gross and ironic to even B on a hip hop site, claim to love hip hop, and basically speak slang the way most of you do-- then in the same sentence come off like you hate Islam and hate black Muslims.
Even when I was agnostic, I wasn't antagonistic towards Islam. I didn't believe in it or God, but culturally how in the fck could I go hard at Islam, when I knew about black history and was a hip hop head??
smh,, next we are going to be on here talking about how Moses, Abraham, Louis Farrakhan, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Patrice Lumumba are white. Then turn around and say humans had slaves.. so no one should want to be human.
