Greetings from wisconsin, everyone! i was just watching the news here in WI, and thought i'd like to share this. Yusuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, was recently denied entrance into the U.S. of A. He was on a plane from london to Washington, and they had to divert the flight to Maine, because he showed up on a watch list. His flight was met by officials, who then sent him home on the next available flight. CAT FREAKIN' STEVENS!!! Read more: msnbc.msn.com/id/6067570Seriously...what the? Peace Train? Love, marissa. |

not to sound like a total cracker. but i always get mad at black americans and candians who suddenlly decide to become muslim. its not like thier ancestors were islamic. its just a " take that whitey" kind of thing.
besides, muslim berbers, taurags and arabs from north africa used the Saharah trade route to bring black slaves to trade with the spanish and dutch, which would then end up in the americas.
if i was a moslem, id try to go to a nation of islam meeting
me- " salam my brothers"
" what the fuck do you want whitey?"
or if i was like an algerian or any other non black, mediterranian african, id wear those shirts with the landmass of africa and a black fist.
( and yes i know, there are black african nations are moslem , but if they were used as slaves, woudlnt you think that they would of brought Islam to the americas?)

thats true. but you must admit that the nation of islam uses this beautiful, rich religion as a way to cause segragation.

totally, especially in third world (or close to third world) countries. a religion whose name literally means 'submission' is very conducive to manipulation of the uneducated.

well. i meant the nation of ilsam as i nthe blac ksegragationists in the states and canada. but you als ohaev a point. Islam has, though, united hundredes of diferent races and cultures under one faith and language though. which is greatly benificial.
