Obama Apologizes For What?? Muslim Ladies Need To Stay Out of Sight Till After The Election

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama called and offered a personal apology to the two Muslim women barred from sitting behind him on stage at a Detroit rally earlier this week. He should not have done so.

Obama and his volunteers were not wrong. And the Muslim women were wrong... for their cavalier attitude to a hostile American climate!

The Muslim woman were wrong for their insensitivity to a man of color trying to achieve the impossible in a world nurtured to hate people of color.

I could get into the non-specifics of my statements, go global, and talk about how people of darker skin hue are treated all over the world. I've seen light skin Brazilians who are allowed to model jewelry, and the dark ones who live in ghettos.

Obama Calls Muslim Women to Apologize for Controversial Snub


I could talk of the relieved mother in-law in Thailand who is overjoyed to meet that light skinned future daughter in-law and not the dark skin maid of honor. Of course we know about the light skin Mexicans senoritas who work the cash registrars in the markets and the dark skin ones who are sweeping up.

And in Agadir Morocco, a Muslim man might be chief among his village, perhaps a prosperous shop owner or an esteemed educator but when he arrives in Paris, "the city of lights" that same French speaking man is just a "sand negro" swinging off a garbage truck. This is the world we live in. Not the whole world, but a big part of it.

But let me comment to the "specific", to the actions of these two women. And let not the words come from me, a "Christian African American Outsider", but from some other Muslims.

One year after the 9-11 attack. I was in a shopping mall here in Los Angeles California, thousands of miles from the sites of the physical attacks of that day. I observe two young men and a woman in there mid/late twenties shopping at a suburban mall. They wore jeans, a simple dress, polo shirts, typical fashion of the day, Nothing special. They were about to round a corner when they shrieked back in horror as if they had just seen the invincible Hulk.

And this is what I heard them say, "I can't believe it. Are they crazy? They just don't get it. Are they trying to get us all killed? Ya' gotta' know when to keep that stuff out of sight. When I go home I'm going to remind my mother."

It is at that point I looked to see, they were talking about two women walking the mall in full Muslim clothing, the black head wrap and the full long dresses.


I then looked closely at these three and realized, wow, their family origins are obviously from the far east also and they are probably Muslims too. the difference... These three got it. Considering how Americans were feeling about Muslims after the 9-11 attack and the fears even a year later, these three were trying to just blend in and live in peace. They were trying to get throgh a difficult period in America. They got it.

Someone forgot to send a memo to the two Muslim ladies in the mall, as well as the two Muslim ladies in Detroit. Barack you need to Kick Butt and apologize after you are president.

Female Singers Beyonce & Gwen Steffani Take On The Muslim Faith In Very Different Ways!


What's The Real Story Behind Beyonce Malaysia No Show?

by Jayar Jackson

The ever popular Beyonce Knowles has abandoned plans to perform her first concert in Malaysia due to “scheduling conflicts.

She is instead set to perform in neighboring Indonesia on the Nov. 1 date previously set for Kuala Lumpur, where the Muslim government is known to require western performers to cover up more than they’re used to.

This new level of comfort would make the 26 year-old diva cover up from the top of her chest to her knees, including her shoulders. Recent speculation says that these guidelines are the catalyst behind the “scheduling conflict” that pushed Beyonce to Indonesia, which is also a Muslim country, but doesn’t have all of the guidelines that exist in Malaysia. Performers can do as they like there, according to the frustrated Chairman of the company responsible for bringing Beyonce in the first place. Many promoters have noted the fact that Western acts have to deal with building pressure from the Malaysian government to keep scantily-clad clothes and sexy dance moves out of their children’s eyes.


Muslim students and activists called for Gwen Stefani’s performance in Kuala Lumpur to be cancelled in August because of her sexy reputation while on stage. Instead of arranging a scheduling conflict, Stefani adhered to the guidelines and wore clothes that revealed little skin, later calling it a “major sacrifice.”

Beyonce must have seen the warning signs of Stefani’s censorship and began to wonder how she could sing, “Don't you see my body? I want to let it out tonight. Wanna party, wanna dance, wanna be myself tonight, me bodied,”and do the Pee-Wee Herman dance at the same time.

If I was there watching her wrapped from chin to toe, I’d be the first asking for a refund. Believe that!

OKAY SO NOW BLACK FOLKS ARE TERRORISTS, HUH?


Al-Qaida Wants You!!!

"Federal and local law enforcement should be aware that al-Qaida terrorists may not appear Arab," warns a recent Homeland Security intelligence report.

A recent speech released by Osama bin Laden's deputy confirms earlier fears that African-Americans are the No. 1 recruiting target for the next generation of attacks.

In the latest message, al-Qaida No. 2 Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri makes frequent references to what he calls the "martyr" Malcolm X, and says "I want blacks in America to know that we are waging jihad to lift oppression from all mankind."

"The price of freedom is death." Zawahiri, again citing Malcolm X, suggests that Black Muslims who do not rise up against America are no better than "house slaves."

Last year, in another videotaped speech, al-Qaida propaganda chief Gadahn invited blacks to convert to Islam and take revenge against a nation that enslaved their ancestors. Gadahn, a white convert from California, said -- which is true -- that America "shamelessly brought us lynch laws, Jim Crow, and a death row where only convicts of certain races are sent."

Blacks make up the largest share of Muslims in America, with many being new Islamic converts. Christian prison chaplains say Islam is so popular with inmates they are having a hard time competing with Muslim chaplains.

In fact, Black Muslim leaders often refer to such conversions as "reversions," claiming Black "reverts" are merely returning to the Islamic faith prominent among their African forebears who were forced into slavery.

I DON'T KNOW OF ANY BLACK MEN WHO ARE GOING TO BLOW THEMSELVES UP. MANY OF OUR BROTHERS CAN'T EVEN PAY CHILD SUPPORT!

Nevertheless, the FBI worries Blacks could be the next face of terror. Since 9/11, the agency has already disrupted several homegrown terror plots involving Black Muslim converts, including:

Black Muslim converts in Miami allegedly conspired to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago.

A Chicago Black Muslim, Derrick Shareef, allegedly plotted to blow up a shopping mall.

A Black U.S. soldier, Hassan Abujihaad, allegedly fed terrorists classified information about U.S. battleship movements.

Black ex-con Muslims allegedly initiated a prison plan to attack military recruiting stations and synagogues in California.
