Jewish groups, Israel’s government are attacking the fundamental rights of American citizens
Two things can be true at the same time. But one cannot be a helpless victim and a powerful destroyer of others at the same time. Crying powerlessness while exerting great power is a favorite tactic of the Zionist lobby, Israel and evil ones who call themselves Jews but are not due to their wickedness. Their target this time? A Muslim...
Word play and playing with Palestinian lives
“A ‘lie’ is ‘a false statement made with a deliberate attempt to deceive; an intentional untruth.’ Everyone, at some point in life, has told a lie. But ‘telling a lie’ does not necessarily make one a liar. A ‘liar’ is ‘a person who has lied, or lies repeatedly.’ According to the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, a ‘liar’...
Atrocities, murder, and no end to genocide in Gaza
News of famine and loss of life in Gaza should not surprise us as Israelis continue their deadly assault on Palestinians or anyone within the Zionist state’s kill zone. The murder of World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers struck down by Israeli Defense Force missiles have again brought words of “sorrow” and calls for investigation. There was presidential outrage in the White...
Ramadan and Our Responsibility
With the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, nearly 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide began special fasting and prayers in another annual celebration of the Holy Qur’an being revealed to our beloved and noble Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) some 1,400 years ago. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke May 11 on the Nation of Islam’s Ramadan Prayer Line (now called the...
A Divine Warning and Why Soft Words Won’t Stop Gaza Genocide
What does Farrakhan have to say about the crisis in the Middle East? That cry and question were answered as the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered a powerful three-and-a-half-hour keynote address to thousands to close out the Nation of Islam’s annual Saviours’ Day convention in Detroit where we started in 1930. Now there is another question: What will those who heard...
While the enemies of truth cannot win, we must fight for the truth
A group has put out a report on the entertainment industry and how the industry is negatively impacting their community. If you thought it was Black folk complaining about the violence, hyper-sexualization of women and girls and the negative images associated with Black life, you would be wrong. Those who are complaining about the music industry are associated with one...
A place of refuge in a time of trouble
One glimpse at the world, whether witnessing the suffering in the Ukraine, the horrific shooting of children in Uvalde, Texas, or the fratricidal killings in Black communities there appears to be no hiding place, no safe space from widespread death. There seems to be no secure place when it comes to jobs and employment and a country that sees a...
When war and White lives matter
Sadly it wasn’t a new song when President Joe Biden promised another billion dollars to shore up the lives, the democracy and the security of the people of Ukraine. The limitless spending again comes with more Americans suffering, but U.S. aid announced April 21 will pay for “weapons and economic assistance” for Ukraine in its war with Russia. “The new package...
The State of Black America 2022 and Signs of the Time
The National Urban League’s recent finding that the current State of Black America is grim is unsurprising. And in 2022, since ratification of America’s Constitution in 1788, the League’s Equality Index finds that Blacks are about three-fifths along the way to experiencing equal status with White Americans. The Black-White disparity persists across virtually every line or indicator of life and quality...
The Darkness of Night Precedes The Day
The Holy Month of Ramadan is the 9th month of the Muslim lunar calendar, which consists of 12 months. “Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months by Allah’s ordinance, since the day when He created the heavens and the earth.” (Holy Qur’an, 9:36). According to the lunar calendar months, the number of days in the month are...
