A Giant Has Fallen; The Passing of Historian Dr. John Hope Franklin At 94

Historian John Hope Franklin

This past week we lost one of the giants in the field of African American History, the great scholar and professor Dr. John Hope Franklin. Dr. Franklin was one of the people who raised the stature of Black studies in the academy by his meticulous research and scholarly rigour. He held some of the most prestigious positions one could hold as an American historian, and the likes of him will probably not be seen again. In my own humble way I would like to carry on the great tradition that people like John Hope Franklin, W.E.B. Dubois, Carter G. Woodson, Charles Wesley, John Blassingame, and David Levering Lewis have established. Our condolences go out to his family.

Imam Mahdi “Wrighty” Bray’s History of Mulitiple Felonies and Deceit…All While Being a Muslim

Wright Bray as a Muslim

I must admit that when I first saw the picture I was taken aback. My mind had to process the image. I never knew that Lionel Jefferson from the 1970’s sitcom The Jefferson’s was a multiple, convicted felon and con man. However upon closer inspection of the picture it hit me; this was not Lionel Jefferson of sitcom fame but rather the leader of the Muslim American Society (MAS), “Imam” Mahdi Bray.

All satire aside, this latest scandal involving “Mahdi” Bray is only the latest in a long series of revelations which have converged into a kind of criminal motif involving other now infamous names like“Shaykh” Khalid Yasin (con man and fraud), Dawud Adib (the man of thirty marriages), Mauri Saalakhan (admitted wife beater), the scholars for dollars and diva cult leaders that have been exposed on the Salafi Burnout blog . Long time readers of this blog will remember that during the course of my expose on the fraud and deceit of the Immigrant Muslim Syndicate, “Imam” Mahdi Bray (through a paid MAS surrogate) launched a vicious, scurrilous, and COMPLETELY FALSE attack against my character in some vain, desperate attempt to discredit or even silence this blog. Bray completely made things up. That shows what kind of person we are dealing with here, so I didn’t need to see Bray’s criminal record to know how thoroughly evil and corrupt he is because I KNOW HIM PERSONALLY!

1980’s “B-Boy” Trying to Make a Comeback? Give Me a Break.

I learned not too long ago that there are some pathetic individuals out there trying to revive the 1980’s B- Boy persona. It is for that reason I posted this clip, so that they can actually see how RIDICULOUS they look. Enjoy the antics of brilliant comedian Affion Crockett.

Micheal Jackson’s Last Stand to Pay the Bills. The Other Brothers Are Dead Broke

With all of the speculation out there that Michael Jackson is broke, it is not surprising that he’s announced a series of concert dates over the summer in England, which he promises in the press conference above to be his last. If I may throw my own two cents in it, I believe Michael Jackson will never be broke, if by broke we mean losing the ability generate a substantial income. He still has millions of fans all over the world, and probably always will, who would gladly put down good money just to attend a personal appearance. You doubt me? Just look at the creepy grown-ass fans in this clip, screaming and acting like gully-headed teenagers.

Khalid Yasin Exposed: The Video

I found the video of the Australian expose which revealed the fraud of con man “da’ee” Khalid Yasin. Watching it is entirely different from reading the transcript. If you don’t catch anything else, check out the last five minutes where they bust him lying about his academic credentials. Notice how ghetto and slick he gets. Keep in mind this documentary was produced four years ago, and the Muslim TV station Khalid “raised funds” for still doesn’t exist (for those who keep screaming about the “benefit of the doubt”). In fact, just watch the whole thing and see a real con man in action.

 

Rihanna and Chris Brown Back Together, And the Non-Sense Continues

Rihanna and Chris Brown Together Again.Are They New Bobby and Whitney?

Well its official (not that you haven’t heard already), that Rihanna and Chris Brown are “back together” after he allegedly busted her in the face three weeks ago.  This is what People magazine  reported,

Has Pakistan Become a Land of Murderous Cowards

The Murderous Cowards of Pakistan

 Most of the visitors to this blog have probably noticed that I have written very little in recent months on the madness in the Muslim world. I chose instead to focus on the good and positive things happening in this country, beginning with the election of President Barack Obama. I didn’t even comment on the Jeffery Dahmer-ish ambassador of Islam, Muzzammil Hassan, who displayed what was suppose to be the beauty of Islam (he wanted to combat negative stereotypes of Muslims) by hacking his wife’s head off.

 With that brutal killing to the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the Mumbai massacre in November, and now this savage attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, a sad truth is beginning to emerge; all of these cowardly atrocities were committed by Pakistanis. It seems that Pakistan has now become a land of cowardly murderers in addition to being an international basket case possessing nuclear weapons!

It’s no wonder that Pakistani second generation Muslims want no part of their motherland, and choose instead to self-identify as “Muslim American” rather than “Pakistani American”. I guess if I were from that hell hole I’d be ashamed too. Ali Eterez wrote a revealing piece on the collective shame of Pakistanis living in other countries that I’m sure you’ll find quite interesting.

The George Washington University Lecture Photos

Abdur-Rahman Muhammad Lectures at The George Washington University, Washington, D.C.

This past year I’ve been invited to deliver a series of lectures at The George Washington University, Washington, D.C. on the Autobiography of Malcolm X and the origins of the Nation of Islam. These photos were taken from the two 90 minutes classes I taught at the school last week. The students were very engaged and asked many good questions, especially during the second section where the discussion carried over an extra forty minutes. Much of the material in these lectures will be contained in my forthcoming book on Black American Islam. The manuscript is now being edited and will be available in the bookstores soon.
