Everybody Calm Down! There is NO Evidence Michael Jackson Was Muslim

One of the most disturbing characteristics of the Muslim community is its  ability to cling to baseless rumors long after they have been proven to be false. This is especially the case whenever a famous person is suspected of being a Muslim and that rumor gains circulation in the community. Once it enters the realm of urban legend IT BECOMES A FACT despite whatever the truth happens to be.

And so it is with Michael Jackson and the rumors that he was not only a Muslim, but is in fact to receive a janaza or Islamic funeral rite to be conducted by one of our famous imams. Let me be the one to break this news gently,

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A MUSLIM AND THERE WILL BE NO OFFICIAL JANAZAH. AND NO, HE DIDN’T CHANGE HIS NAME TO “MIKAEL ABDULLAH” EITHER.

Can you believe that literally hundreds of Muslims are planning to attend MJ’s janaza and some have already bought plane tickets to Los Angeles, all based on an unproven rumor. This rumor mill has gotten so out of control that there’s now a conspiracy theory that Michael Jackson was murdered because he and Muslim musician Dawud Warnsby were preparing to go out on a “nasheed tour”!!!

BrotherAli Eteraz did a fine piece of journalism on this story and it seems that the real culprits in spreading these rumors were Imams Johari Abdul Malik and Zaid Shakir, who both tried to ride the Michael Jackson death frenzy into history by jockying to be the one selected to lead his janaza prayer, and in the process manage to praise everything about MJ’s life that they used to teach was haram (prohibited) in Islam, namely music and the performing arts. Salafi Burnout offered a devastating commentary on this shameless spotlight-mugging of the leadership, because everybody knows that common, everyday Muslims like you and I, those who’ve sacrificed for Islam striving to obey God’s commandments and eshew His prohibitions and gave up careers in entertainment, while Michael Jackson was grabbing his crouch,  singing and dancing (which used to be haram remember?) and sleeping with little boys, will never get this kind of attention by the imams at our passing.

Joe Jackson Plugs New Record Company Before the Body Is Even Buried.

 

I’m sorry folks, this man Joe Jackson is a loathsome piece of human debris! This narcissistic leech can’t even wait until his son’s body is in the ground before he starts promoting his new record company with a washed up member of the Chi-lites at Saturday’s B.E.T Awards show. Today, he and the ambulance chasing Al Sharpton (back from media death) repeated the appalling spectacle during a press conference, with father Joe smiling and hogging the spotlight as long as he could with no signs of grief or sadness. This guy makes me physically sick.  Just check out in the beginning of the clip how he impersonally talks about the “world losing a superstar”, and not he, a father, losing a son.

Farewell Michael Jackson. The King of Pop and a Very Troubled Man, Dead At 50.

I’m still absorbing this. Please share your reflections. This man was deeply, deeply troubled, and many people who knew him said they saw it coming for years. I’m not going to remember the grotesque shell of a person he became, but rather as the young, talented boy who entertained us so. Micheal Jackson is dead at the age of 50. Farewell Michael.

Condolences to the Victims of the DC Metro Crash

I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to the victims of yesterday’s horrific Metro crash here in DC. Nine people lost their lives in the accident and another seventy-five were maimed or injured. We’re starting to get reports of partially severed limbs and other terrible injuries and the entire region is in a sort of pall. The DC Metro rail system is almost a half century old and desperately in need of resources, but that is not going to excuse this failure, the worst accident in its history. Conventional wisdom is that heads are going to roll on this one, but for the time being let us remember these grieving families.

Chris Brown Pleads Guilty to Felony Assault on Rihanna. Was the Sentence Harsh Enough?

Chris Brown Pleads Gulity

Well it looks like the Chris Brown, Rihanna affair has drawn to a close with Brown pleading guilty to felony assault on the young singer. He will be placed on five years probation and have to do 180 hours of community service. The question that I am asking is, was the sentence harsh enough for so vicious a crime? My own view? I don’t think so, but apparently this is what first time offenders normally receive under similar circumstances. Part of the plea deal is that neither he nor Rihanna can come within 50 yards or even speak to each other, a ruling the judge will consider lifting after he completes a year-long domestic violence program.

A Daughter Finds Her Father. The Final Resting Place of “Big Bilal”.

I am extremely gratified to share with everyone the news that we’ve located the final resting place of “Big Bilal” Abdullah Rahman and his fallen brother, Muhammad Ahmed. Sadly though, that information did not come from the family of sister Sayyidah Abdullah Rahman (daughter) or any of the “old soldiers” in New York. I was under the mistaken belief that they would have tried to make the situation right. They didn’t. Even after the original story sat on this site for a week, no one came forward with the information. A hostile comment did appear however on another site which identified the funeral home, and with that information it was easy to determine the location of the grave site. 

“It’s What I Live For”: Heaven, By Bee Bee And Cee Cee Winans

This song just makes you feel so good inside, and who could argue with its theme, the sweetness of Heaven. I especially love how the video transitions from black & white to color. I hope you find this song as warm and uplifting as I do.

 

Another Man-Child Lost to Extremism. When is Enough, Enough?

Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad

Just take a look at that baby face, a young man-child in the very prime of his life. The world was his oyster, blessed by God with the chance to better humanity and make his parent’s proud. That was of course until he ran into the psychopaths who pumped his head full of hateful ideology and drove him insane. And yes, I do believe this young man was driven insane, just like another of our beautiful youth, Yusef Abdullah Rahman, who was also stolen away from us by this evil, hateful doctrine. True to God, I despise these sick people with every fiber of my being.

I cannot even imagine being  Abdulhakim Muhammad’s parents, sitting home watching on television your beautiful son who you’ve worked so hard to raise up a decent and productive member of society, accused of taking  another man’s life which like your own son, was so full of promise, and thinking that his end will almost certainly come through the executioner’s hand by lethal injection. Or the “best” case scenario, he expires a decrepit old man in prison with no hope of any progeny. Dear God let us pray this never happens again. Amen.

Where is “Big Bilal”? A Daughter’s Plea For Answers.

About a couple of months ago, a comment appeared on this blog by a sister named Sayyidah Abdullah Rahman. She is the daughter of “Big Bilal” Abdullah Rahman, who along with brother Muhammad Ahmed was one of the two Muslims murdered in the now infamous 1974 shoot out at the Ya Sin Masjid in Brooklyn, NY. In retaliation, two other Muslims were  also killed during the attack, bringing the total number dead that cold February night to four. Another brother who was also badly wounded did manage to survive, but would have to live out the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Miss Rahman asked that I share with her whatever information I may have on her father because my blog is the first time she has ever seen anything about her father in print.

She explained to me later in our conversations that she was only two years-old when her father was killed, and that the subject has always been strictly taboo in her family. Whenever Big Bilal or Muhammad Ahmed’s name would come up in conversation, the room would immediately go quiet and someone would change the subject. Information about this case has been so tightly held that there’s never been an arrest in it. It may also explain why Sayyidah Abdullah Rahman, an intelligent 36 year-old mother of six, has never been told the location of her father’s final remains. Even her mother refuses to tell her! As one can imagine, she is quite angry and demanding some answers.

Another Muslim Plot Against America and Jews Foiled. Will The Madness Ever End?

When will this madness end? Yesterday four Muslim Americans were arrested for plotting to blow up a synagogue and Jewish center in the Bronx and to shoot down aircraft.  Something is indeed wrong, very, very wrong with this community. A few years ago it was the Virginia Jihad paintball crew, and now it looks again as if these young Muslim men in N.Y. will spend the rest of their lives in prison. This has been a bad year for the Muslim community in America, from one of its leaders beheading his wife, to a known wife abuser coming to his rescue, two police murdered by Muslims in Philadelphia, and of course a slew of moral and financial scandals that has many people asking “what the hell is going on”? Is it any wonder that the Muslim brand is at an all time low. In fact, apostasy is at an all time high! When will we stop blaming others and recognize this malignancy in the body and do something about it. Of course, as usual, some people will blame ME for “attacking the Muslims”, but what is it about the Islam preached in many parts of this country that breeds antisemitism and anti-American hated?
