NOTE: 1/10/2022

America is the greatest place on earth with the potential to live your life in peace within the faith of your choice, as you want to worship.

Example: With the influx of people from throughout the world striving towards the liberties promised here.


Yet as we welcome new and potential citizens; let us say Afghanstinians (Muslims mostly) who have/are persecuted by their own people, their ‘co-religionists’ there. How can America be so far remote to accept even the idea that forms of persecution (although not actual killing ‘outright’) are happening right here every day in America.

One ‘cover’ that is used to conceal this persecution (although they perpetrators may not see themselves as persecuting) is culture. The exploited and down cast African, brought up achieving educational success (first Black school system) and business success as Black Muslims. Yet the Islam of These Black Muslims, while mentioning Allah, Quran, Muhammad looked to Elijah Pool as their Muhammad, and some person by name of Fard Mohammad as god (Allah is The GOD in the Arabic Language).

So, as Black Culture rightfully gains acceptance, we all benefit. But the benefit of an African American Muslim not of the unorthodox belief of this new group, Black Muslim – life can be just as tumultuous as that of our newly arriving Afghan citizens who had to flee persecutions from their own kind in order to live and worship as they please. So hard to believe.

As our hearts go out welcoming our Afghan refugees seeking to help them in whatever ways we can, towards the American Dream, freedom to live and prosper as Americans, we look at the struggling African American that has been a Muslim striving as all Black people in American with what DuBois termed the second self ‘double consciousness,’ add yet being an orthodox Muslim in a world just becoming/accepting Islam. You never think but it is true, the unconcern of others can be used as a tool of exploitation. Most African Americans are Christian. So, if there is an issue concerning Islam and Muslims they say; leave it to the Black Muslims, they have had some success. But that African American Muslims belief in Allah is different. He looks to GOD (Allah) for his salvation, while Black Muslims look to some saviour Elijah, Fard?. ‘It is Persecution.’.

Let us see you ‘make’ a Saudi Muslim celebrate their saviours day, ‘make’ a Somali or an Afghani Muslim celebrate their saviour and savior day. Leave me out if it. ‘It is Persecution.’

A final thought in this mornings NOTE:. Isn’t there enough hate in the world? It feels much better to not carry hate, as much as you can. GOD is The Forgiver, Al-Ghaafir. I say at times, how can you forgive someone that has their heal on your neck? Yet forgiveness is priceless, we all seek it. I personally do not need their hate. Life is hard enough.

“America is the greatest place on earth with the potential to live your life in peace within the faith of your choice, as you want to worship.”

A Wall of African Culture.

Praise GOD! everyone. All Praise, all Worship/Prayer belongs to GOD! 🙏

Happy New Years! 🙏

A wall of African Culture

جِدَّر ثَقَافِة الإِفْرِقِيَّة

Remember, ‘Culture’ serves a very important function (both historically and presently). But it is not to be worshipped in any way, but acknowledged and used as we would any tool. The praise and glorification, “all praise, all worship is to GOD,” Who gives man the ability to frame this or that concept so that mankind can conquer this life’s environments in order to better serve GOD.

Man Calls himself “God” After Killing NY Woman.

When asked if he had killed Michelle Alyssa Go, a 40-year-old Upper West Side resident, Martial copped to the ghastly attack, and claimed he was “God.” “Yeah because I’m God. Yes I did. I’m God, I can do it,” Martial shouted to a gaggle of reporters.

Unhinged homeless man Simon Martial admits to deadly Times Square subway shove, declares himself ‘God’

Unprovoked attacks on Asian Americans soared in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic amid anti-Chinese political rhetoric, and were up 368 percent in 2021, according to police data.

Many of the crimes occurred in the subway system, which city and state officials recently pledged to fill with expanded police presence and social service teams to combat rising crime and help shift homeless people living underground into shelters.

Michelle Go was 40 years old when she was killed; “pushed in front of a subway train in Times Square.”

Looted Artifacts Pulled from U.K. Auction After Ethiopian Embassy’s Appeal

The Ethiopian government has been appealing for the restitution of items pillaged during the siege for decades. In 2019, the nation renewed calls for the return of 11 wood and stone religious tablets, known as tabots, which sat for decades in the storeroom of the British Museum amid a wealth of Maqdala treasures. The British Museum responded by offering the possibility of a long-term loan agreement.

Maqdala-Era Artifacts Leave U.K.: ‘The Single Most Important Heritage Restitution in Ethiopia’s History’

The London-based Scheherazade Foundation has returned a collection of artifacts that were looted from Ethiopia in 1868. Tahrir Shah, one of the Scheherazade Foundation’s cofounders, bought some of the works privately at the Busby auction house in Bridgeport, England. The artifacts were pulled from public auction the day before the sale was set to take place amid an outcry from the Ethiopian Embassy in England. Ethiopian officials were quick to praise the handover as a major restitution—one that they said acts as a recognition of the violence wrought by British colonial forces within the country.

Built By Angels: African Jerusalem ‘Lalibela’


If faith is a mystery, there are few places in the Christian world where the mystery is deeper than in Lalibela. 800 years ago, an Ethiopian king ordered a new capital for Christians. At 8,000 feet, on the central plateau of Ethiopia stand 11 churches, each carved from a single, gigantic, block of stone. No bricks, no mortar, no concrete, no lumber, just rock sculpted into architecture. Not much is known about who built them, or why. But the faithful of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church say there’s no mystery really. The churches of Lalibela were built by angels.

Do not Ridicule one another

GOD prohibits His Messenger and the Believers from insulting the false deities of the idolators.  Insulting their deities will lead to a bigger evil than its benefit for the idolators might retaliate by insulting GOD as the Believers [Muslim] believe “Allah,” none has right to worship but He  لآ إلَهَ إلاَّ الله

“O you that believe!  Fear Allah and believe in His messenger, and He will bestow on you a double portion of His Mercy: He will provide for you a light by which you will walk (straight in your path), and He will forgive you (your past):  Because Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

David Gathu and Moses Kinyua, two young men from Nairobi, Kenya, have created a bio-robotic prosthetic arm that could change the lives of disabled Kenyans and the future of prosthetics entirely.

“But you Did Not Visit Me.”

GOD will say on the Day of Judgment, ‘Son of Adam, I was sick, but you did not visit me.’‘My Lord, how could I visit You when You are the Lord of the Worlds?’‘Did you not know that one of My servants was sick and you did not visit him? If you had visited him, you would have found Me there.’


Then GOD will say, ‘Son of Adam, I needed food, but you did not feed Me.’‘My Lord, how can I feed You when You are the Lord of the Worlds?’‘Did you not know that one of My servants was hungry, but you did not feed him? If you had fed him, you would have found its reward with Me.’


‘O Son of Adam, I was thirsty, but you did not give Me anything to drink.’‘My Lord, how could I give you a drink when You are the Lord of the Worlds?’‘Did you not know that one of My servants was thirsty, but you did not give him a drink? If you had given him a drink, you would have found its reward with Me.’


Holy Hadith – AL Bukhari

* * * * *


Serving people needs no other motive than our seeking GOD.In service to others and giving to others, we open a path to our finding GOD.In His Mercy, the path to GOD is one of peace and improving the world around.In the feeding of the poor, relieving the thirst and suffering, and comforting the sick lies an incredible closeness to The All-Mighty GOD, so much that He is there Himself, Glory to GOD.
