as-Suwād fī Amrīkā/Blackness in America

• 

During the 2020 US-Presidential Election-Cycle, the most Controversial-Election in US-History to date: I was requested to be interviewed, concerning the Effects of this Presidential-Election on Muslims as well as Afro-Americans within the United States. In addition to that, I was interviewed also about the Human-Condition of the Afro-American both historically & contemporaneously.

Interview on the AlArabyTV-Website

Interview on the AlArabyTV YouTube-Channel

(As per the Conditions) there’s many Things which absolutely must always be at the Forefronts of a Discussion such as this to address…the Following-Topics: Colonization, Slavery, White-Supremacy, White-Privilege, the 13th-Amendment: the US-Prison Industrial-Complex, Black-Codes: the Prelude to Jim-Crow & Segregation, War-On-Drugs, Welfare, Crime&Poverty/Poverty&Crime, Hypersexuality, Self-Hate, etc. And these are just Universial-Issues which affect Afro-Americans holistically.

• 

Then, there’s the Conditions of Muslim Afro-Americans which’re Toxic-Remnants of the Negative Historical-Issues facing Muslim Afro-Peoples holistically & globally, both historically & contemporaneously:

a. The Muslim-Caste System which Muslims have established as an Unwritten-Rule for the Past-Millennium

b. The Bilāl-Mythos

(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2018/02/04/bilalmoviereinforcesslavenarrative)

c. al-`Asabiyyah (Xenophobia via White-Supremacy/Anti-Black ness) via Muslim Religio-Scholarship

(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2020/09/08/antiblacknessandtextualdistortion)

d. Religio-Rejection of “Black-Lives Matter”

(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2020/06/10/islamophobiaviaxenophobia)

e. Anti-Blackness amongst Muslim Afro-Peoples

(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2019/11/14/muslim-hatemonger)

The Trump-Administration forced People to recognize/acceot the Reality that the “Colorless-America” which was pontificated/claimed&promoted via the Obama-Years was a Complete-Fiction…al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia never vanished from the US-Landscape when Barack Obama was a POTUS, it simply became more covert. However, when Donald Trump became a POTUS it became very overt, and it resulted in the US revisting Tumultuous-Times not seen since the 1960’s, C.E. Moving forward though: it honestly doesn’t matter whom wins Presidential-Elections…I tell People all the Time, “The Dems & the GOP are 2-Wings of the Same-Bird: the Vulture…the United States is a Vulture.” & “Freedom via Democracy is an Illusion.”. Dem-Presidents & GOP-Presidents have come&gone, yet Afro-Americans are still largely an Oppressed-People…manipulated & sold Political Pipe-Dreams by both Political-Parties…urged, pressured in Many-Ways even, to submit their Support/Votes without any such Human-Guarantees in Return…etc. Plato’s “The Republic”, alone, affirms/confirms precisely what I’ve mentioned…keep in Mind that Plato was the Number-1 Student of the Inceptor/Inventor of Democracy: Socrates.

al-Imma`tiyyah/Groupie-Culture

• 

(Literally) I was this Years old, when I found-out that it’s Mahrūm/Islāmically-Prohibited to be a Lackey, a Groupie, a Dick-Rider, etc. Muhammad (Peace be upon him) stated, Word4Word, “Don’t be an Imma`ah (Lackey, Groupie, Dick-Rider, etc.).”.(at-Tirmidhī) This Hadīth/Narration is listed/cited as Hadīth# 2007 via the Musnad (Hadīth/Narration-Collection) of at-Tirmidhī. The Irony, as per my Personal Life-Experience, is that I abandoned my Allegiance to a Hizb/Religio-Sectarian Group in “2007”, C.E./1428, AH. 

My Personal-Experience being an Adherent to a Hizb taught me that any/all Ahzāb/Religio-Sectarian Groups are Inherently-Similar in that:

a. All-Ahzāb lay Unwarranted/Unjustified-Claims to Religio-Monopolies/Superiority, predicated upon Islāmic-Concepts which ironically existed prior to the Revelation of The Qur’ān.

b. All-Ahzāb, in order to sustain their Survival, must rely upon (almost exclusively) al-Imma`tiyyah (Lackey/Dick-Rider Culture).

“My Imām/Leader”…”My Shaykh/Teacher”…”My Tarīqah/Path”…”My Minhāj/Methodology”…”My Madhab/Religio-Legal School”…”My `Aqīdah/Religio-Theological School”…”My Political-Party”…”My Gang”…”My Hood”…”My Clique”…”My Country”…”My City”…”My Tribe”…etc.: any/all of this literally spawns&incubates, facilitates, etc. al-Imma`tiyyah.

Why bring this up…#Anwer: the Entire-World, via the Entirety of Human-History almost, has been immersed in al-Immatiyyah, particularly/especially relative to the Revelation of The Qur’ān. There’s even Ahādīth/Narrations like those found via Abī-Dāwud, which Muhammad had stated, “Whomever imitates any People are of them.”. This Issue of al-Immatiyyah directly is addressed via that Aforementioned-Hadīth/Narration. We, as Muslims, must pay Close-Attention to the Clear&Present-Dangers of al-Imma`tiyyah, or else we will be destroyed by it, just like the Umam/Nations before us were destroyed because of it.

Dear Islāmophobes (specifically those whom’re Judeo-Christian):

According to the Catholic-Encyclopedia: at the Time of Jesus (Peace be upon him) & even prior to his Lifetime, Females were considered marriageable via Age-12, yet Marital-Ages varied circumstantially. Marriages were preceded by the Betrothal, after which the Bride legally belonged to the Bridegroom, though she did not live with him till about 1-Year later, when the Marriage used to be celebrated.(https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15464b.htm)

This is agreed upon, as per Judeo-Christian/Religio-Historical Sources & practiced in Palestine even up until the early 20th-Century, C.E. According to Alma White (A Biblical-Historian) & confirmed by W.M. Thompson (The Land and the Book, W.M. Thompson), “Some Customs of ‘Biblical-Palestine’ continued through the Centuries.”-After her Trip to the Middle-East (Circa 1910, C.E.): Alma White made Commentary on the Age-Of-Marriage in Palestine, “A Female is usually married via her 12th/10th-Year, and sometimes as early as via her 10th-Year.”.

According to James Neil (Everyday Life in the Holy Land, James Neil), Women of that Time-Period (in Palestine) were even married as young as Age-9:

a. https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/thechildmarriageissue

b. https://www.truthortradition.com/articles/mary-a-teenage-bride-and-mother

Now, how/why do I bring this up: I’ll tell you. Oftentimes, many of the Fiercest-Islāmophobes, especially via Academia, are in fact Judeo-Christian. Yet, there’s literally what I’ve aforementioned which none of these Judeo-Christian Islāmophobes wish/want to come to Terms with. One will in fact wonder how/why do I say this: I’ll tell you.

As per Judeo-Christian Religio-Sources, as those which I’ve already cited…according to these Sources, it’s claimed/assumed that Mary (Peace be upon her):

a. Had Several-Children with a Man named “Joseph”.

b. Never had Children with anyone named “Joseph”, yet was “married” to him (completely denying that she gave Birth to Jesus-Christ without Sexual-Intercourse).

c. Gave Birth to Jesus-Christ, yet had no Other-Children thereafter.

d. That she was between 12 & 16 Years-Of-Age when this took place.

e. That “Joseph” was Significantly-Older than she was, anywhere between his Late-Teens to Late-Sixtees.

Which brings us to the Issue of Islāmophobia: according to general Islāmophobic-Rhetoric Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is accused unjustly of being a Child-Molester, as per their Marriage to `Ā’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her), after she reached al-Balāghah/Puberty.(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2019/01/08/survivinghypocrisy)

Now, if one strictly goes by the Judeo-Christian Narrative, especially if one is a “Christian”, while believing in the “Divinity” of Jesus-Christ: the Logic of the Islāmophobic-Slander against Muhammad by definition must also apply to the Judeo-Christian Persona of the “Husband-Of-Mary”. And, by definition, thus assuming that either “Joseph” is the Bio-Father vs. Stepfather of Jesus-Christ, you’d basically also be accusing the Father/Stepfather of your “God” (as Christians do in fact worship Jesus-Christ) is a Child-Molester. I can humanly guarantee you, that Judeo-Christians have never ponder upon the Hypocritical-Irony of this.

al-`asabiyyah/Xenophobia: Anti-Blackness via at-Tahrīf (Textual-Distortion, Mistranslation, etc.)

There’s a very popular Bullshit-Translstion of a Hadīth/Narration in which it’s so claimed that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, “Whomever wants to look at ash-Shaytān/Satan then let them look at a ‘Black-Man’.”.

There’s Several-Things wrong with this:

a. ash-Shaytān is never given Human-Sifāt (Characteristics/Qualities) via at-Tanzīl/Revelation, not even prior to the Revelation of The Qur’ān.

b. This clearly pontificates/promotes al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia, which none of the Anbiyā’/Prophetic-Individuals (Peace be upon them altogether) ever co-signed nor advocated.

c. Damn near all Arab-Peoples prior to & via the Lifetime of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) were Brownskinned/Darkskinned-Persons, literally including Muhammad himself.

d. There was an actual Person mentioned by Name via this Hadīth whom Muhammad was directly referring to & not “Black-People”…his Name was Nabtal ibn-ul-Hārith.

e. Nabtal ibn-Hārith was a Munāfiq/Hypocrite via the Lifetime of Muhammad, within al-Madīnah, whom was a Staunch-Enemy of al-Islām/Muslims.

f. This Hadīth is literally based upon at-Tafsīr/Commentary of The Qur’ān, via Sūrat-it-Tawbah/Chapter of Repentance.

(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.9, V.62; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī; as-Suddī; ibn-Ishāq)

Exposing Muslims whom pontificate/promote Islāmophobia via al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia

You don’t have to be European to be a White-Supremacist. Just like you don’t have to be Non-Muslim to be an Islāmophobe. Persons like Assim Al-Hakeem: “Religio-Scholar” Native of the Arab-World via KSA/Saudi Arabia thus undoubtedly prove this: he happens to be both a Xenophobe & an Islāmophobe. Ironically, Persons like him are actually no different than Persons like Said Rageah.(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2019/11/14/muslim-hatemonger)

Much like how `Amr ibn-Hishām was nicknamed Abū-Hakm/Father-Of-Judgment/Wisdom, whom was renicknamed Abū-Jahl/Father-Of-Ignorance/Stupidity via Muhammad (Peace be upon him): it’s ironic that the Last-Name of the Person whom is in this Post is al-Hakīm/Wise-Person, when in fact it should be al-Jahīl/Apathetic-Asshole. Islāmophobia & White-Supremacy are both Manifestations of azh-Zhulm/Oppression. And whomever co-signs or is Silent concerning either is a Zhālim/Oppressor, by definition. Being Pro-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia is Islāmophobia, by definition, because the 1st-Being/Created-Thing to be Pro-`Asabiyyah was ash-Shaytān/Satan. And ash-Shaytān is the Ultimate-Islāmophobe.(at-Tabarī, as-Suyūtī, ibn-Kathīr)

One may Dare ask how/why do I pontificate/claim such a Stance against Assim Al-Hakeem. I’ll answer that. Firstly though, I’ll thoroughly detail the “Black Lives Matter” Concept vs. the “All Lives Matter” Kalām/Rhetoric.

 

“Black-Lives Matter”, is as valid as “All-Lives Matter”, because #Allah (the Creator/Lord of the Universe) created All-Life/Lives. However, at the Same-Time: if “Black-Lives” don’t matter to those whom benefit from al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia via White-Supremacy/White-Privilege, then saying “All-Lives Matter” is Deflectory-Rhetoric. It summarily means that they know that “Black-Lives” don’t matter via White-Supremacy & don’t care that “Black-Lives” don’t matter.(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2018/02/04/bilalmoviereinforcesslavenarrative)

This, of course, is because they’re able to hide under the Filthy-Cover of White-Supremacy, via either: being European, passing for “White” (Russians/Central-Asians, Euro-Latinos, Middle-Eastern Peoples, Mixed-Ethnicity Peoples/”Bi-Racial”, etc.). Also, there’s Good-Ole Coonery via Persons whom’re classified as “Black”, via the Socio-Caste System which the Western-World operates by, based exclusively upon al-`Asabiyyah (via Classism, Ethnocentrism, Colorism, etc.). They attempt to convince People that White-Supremacy isn’t Reality. They also contribute to Self-Hate & Self-Destruction of their own People.

Furthermore, you don’t have to be Afro-American to be a Coon-If you’re Non Afro-American & you co-sign Anti-Blackness, via your Silence and/or your Biases, then by definition you’re a Coon. Oh, by the way: Muslims whom don’t/refuse to stand against White-Supremacy, then by definition, not only are they Muslim-Coons, but most importantly/worse yet, they’re Islāmophobes Assim Al-Hakeem & those like him are most definitely Muslim-Coons. Silence and/or Participation as per al-`Asabiyyah is Islāmophobia by definition. Muslims are Mafrūdh/Islāmically-Mandated to stand against any/all Manifestations of azh-Zhulm/Oppression: Spiritually, Psycho-Emotionally, Primally.(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2019/09/23/toxicleadership)

Of course, Persons like Assim Al-Hakeem have, on Numerous-Occasions, spoken against any Forms/Manifestations of al-Jihād (Struggle/Resistance) against Oppressive-Governance/Governments. And, this is because Persons like them are pressured, via their Oppressive-Governments, to command People to be Anti-Dissent. Ironically, Dissent was literally used via Muslims of the Middle-East/Arab-World via the Geo-Political Ancestors of this Region aiding Non-Muslim/Western Powers topple al-Khilāfah/Islāmic-Governance: the Ottoman-Empire during World-War I.(https://garethbryant.wordpress.com/2013/12/06/hujjahagainstsaudiarabia)

Standing against azh-Zhulm is something Allah takes so seriously, that He decided to make azh-Zhulm Mahrūm/Islāmically-Prohibited even upon Himself. And, if/whenever there’s Muslims being Silent/Complicit regarding any Manifestation of Oppression, then this is Islāmophobia, by definition…you don’t have to be Non-Muslim to be an Islāmophobe. In fact, ironically: Muhammad (Peace be upon him stated taught us that al-`Asabiyyah is something which his Ummah/Nation will never abandon.(Muslim, an-Nawawī)

Islāmophobic-Journalism Courtesy of the New York Post

“And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.” (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8)

“The Worst-Person with Allah is he whom kills those whom never even fought them back.” (Ahmad)

These 2 Revelatory-Texts are the Premise of my Article, discussing the Ugliness of Islāmophobia via the Media, Courtesy of the New York Post:

https://nypost.com/2020/04/04/nyc-firefighter-gets-coronavirus-after-teen-sneezes-on-him/

Omar Sattar: FDNY-Personnel, Firefighter, was attacked by Boro Park Youth, in Brooklyn, NY. He was purposely sneezed-on after attempting to regulate Social-Distancing in lieu of the Covid19 Global Health-Crisis which has hit the United States very hard, NYC particularly/especially since NYC is the most Congested-City in the US. So, sadly Omar Sattar tested Covid19+. The Media reported that it’s unconfirmed whether or not he contracted Covid19 via that Sneezing-Attack imposed upon him. Well, honestly that’s not even the Point…the Point is that this Sneeze-Attack was not only Inhumanely-Disgusting, but also Incredibly-Dangerous. Ironically, this isn’t the Worst-Part though.

The NYPost: notorious for its Discriminatory-Tirades (Islāmophobia, Xenophobia, etc.) instead of focusing on the Disgusting-Behavior of these Persons whom literally placed the Health/Life of a Fellow-Human, a Civil-Servant, at Risk they pinpointed the Sordid-Past of his Father who is Ahmed Sattar. Ahmed Sattar was implicated, prosecuted, sentenced, etc. as per Involvement in the 1993 WTC-Bombing. However, this literally has nothing to do with Omar Sattar. The NYPost, of course, made it about Ahmed Sattar.

This was exclusively done to deflect from the Fact that those responsible for this Heinous-Act were Jewish & focusing on Omar Sattar being the Son of a Muslim convicted of Terrorism. Basically, the NYPost articulated their Article this Way methodically, to erase the Humanity of the Victim because he’s a Muslim & to give the Criminals a Pass because they’re Non-Muslims (Jewish specifically). It’s almost as if the NYPost had presented this Story as though Omar Sattar had deserved to be attacked, as if somehow this Attack was Retribution for the Crimes which his Father was convicted for. It’s obvious that had this been the Other-Way Around this would’ve been broadcasted via every News-Outlet, every Newspaper, every TV-News Segment, every Talk-Show, etc. There would’ve been Calls-Of-Action made against the Sneeze-Attackers, claiming “Anti-Semitism” & we all know that this is 💯%-Truth/Honesty. However, since it is what it is, clearly little to nothing will probably be done about this, in spite of the Fact that one of “New York’s Bravest” was so viciously & cowardly attacked, resulting in his Health/Life being put in Danger.

Well…that’s Jew York City for you.

The Anatomy of the Reality that is the Muslim-Caste System

Muhammad (Peace be upon him) stated that there’s 4-Manifestations of al-Jāhiliyah/Ignorance that his Ummah/Nation will never abandon:

a. Boasting about the Glories of ones Nasb/Ancestory.

b. Defaming Others on the Basis of their Nasb.

c. Seeking to be given Rain by Means of the Stars (via al-Kahn/Astrology).

d. Ritualistic-Mourning over the Dead.(Muslim)

al-Islām greatly stresses the Importantance of Human-Equality, that inherently the Only-Things which could ever make any Human superior, to any other Fellow-Human, is their Obedience to Allah.(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.49, V.13; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī; at-Tirmidhī; Ahmad) However, Muslims summarily refuse to recognize/accept this Reality. The Truth of the Matter is that (either via Ethno/Socio-Cultural Traditions prior to the Revelation of The Qur’ān, Socio-Cultural/Political Colonization, etc.) Muslims most definitely have Unwritten-Rules concerning the Religio Caste-System which Muslims have developed over the past 12-Centuries, C.E. And, ironically: the Fact that at-Tanzīl/Revelation (prior to The Qur’ān as well as via The Qur’ān & the Sunnah/Prophetic-Tradition) has always rejected Things like Caste-Systems, because of the Negativity which it imposes upon Societies-There’s absolutely 0-Space/Place for al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia via al-Islām. Sadly, though, Apathy is worse than Ignorance: Muslims don’t care about Right vs. Wrong according to Islāmic-Teachings. And, this Carelessness is literally how/why a Caste-System exists amongst Muslims. More often than not, Muslims always use the “There’s no Racism in Islam” Song&Dance-Kalām/Rhetoric. Now, obviously: that Statement is both Truthful & Honest. At the Same-Time, the Reasons how/why it’s used via its Interpretation is 💯%-Untrue/Dishonest. If/whenever any Muslim states, “There’s no Racism in Islam”, what they really mean that Muslims aren’t Pro-`Asabiyyah Proponents. And, we all know that Interpretation of the Statement is 💯%-Untrue/Dishonest.

Enough of that…let’s get to the Muslim-Caste System:

1. Muslim-Arabs/Middle-Easterners:

a. “European/White” Featured

b. “Arab/Middle-Eastern” Featured

c. “African/Black” Featured

2. Muslim-Europeans

3. Muslim-European Reverts

4. Muslim-Desis/Subcontinentals:

a. “European/White” Featured

b. “Desi/Asian” Festured

c. “African/Black” Featured

5. Muslim Greater-Asians:

a. “Asian” Featured

b. “Desi” Featured

c. “African/Black” Featured

6. Muslim-Reverts Generally

7. Muslim-Latinos

8. Muslim Afro-Americans

9. Muslim-Africans

Understandably, a Hard-Pill to swallow. However, at the Same-Time, we as Muslims must stop ptetending that such a Caste-System exists amongst Muslims. Unfortunately, there’s going to be Muslims whom greatly disagree with me, whom’ll accuse me of being a “Trouble-Maker”, being “Divisive”, etc. But, I don’t really care. I’m speaking Truth to this Narrative, because it’s an Uncomfortable-Reality & I exist to make the Uncomfortable comfortable.

Roe vs. Wade: the Person behind the Case & the Irreversable-Damage they caused

Norma Leah Nelson AKA “JaneRoe”, the Political-Centerpiece behind Roe vs. Wade, which federally legalized Abortion in the UnitedStates via the US Supreme-Court: she admitted that she lied about being Raped by a Group of Afro-Americans. This Untruth/Slander predicated upon al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia, though unsuccessful, was still enough Ammunition used to propel the Pro-Choice Movement, backed by Feminism. Also, Roe vs. Wade literally made it Federally-Legal in the US to weaponize Abortion, as a Tool for/of Population-Control via Eugenics.

Abortion-Stats in the US Post Roe vs. Wade-

Persons who’ve been aborted since Roe vs. Wade was made Federally-Legsl via the US Supreme-Court. This Stat accounts for the Equivalent to nearly 1/3 of the current US-Population:

 

This Stat shows the Increase/Decrease of Abortions within the United States, from 1973-2014, C.E.:

2014, C.E. was the 1st-Year, since the 1973, C.E., when Abortion-Rates within the United States didn’t reach 1Million annually.

The Stats speak for themselves. Now, let’s take a Look at which US-Demographics are targetted mostly via Abortion.

Abortion in the US via Ethno-Demographics-

This Stat details Specific-Percentages of Abortion-Rates amongst Afro-Americans, in comparison/contrast with other Ethno-Demographics:

Ironically: much like Prison-Population Rates amongst Afro-Americans, likewise, Abortion-Rates also turn spiked & have remained nearly at the Same-Rates since the 1970’s, C.E.:

So, in Conclusion: this is the Damage which Roe vs. Wade has done. Y’all better wake-up.
