Quote:You know Malcolm X better than me I heard you speak about him many times. Who was malcolm X? He was a racist fanatic (AstafuruAllah) why did someone like him accept islam?
That brother is my hero, yes i've read the speech and i'm so glad he accepted real Islam. However i know he only accepted the real Islam in the final month (s) of his life, i don't know if he got to the parts of the Hadith where he is called a raisin head. It took me 6 months to find for myself, so i very much doubt he came across that, knowing his views on race. Read fully about Malcolm X and you will see what i mean. When you read the Hadith for yourself...it leaves a bad taste. Although The Prophet PBUH wasn't talking about Black people such as Malcolm, more the darker kind i would suspect. Like me and my daughter, who look like raisins, or maybe coal heads, lumps of coal are dark?
I'll kindly ignore the person who implied being called a Raisin head was a compliment because they are smooth or something. Sigh...banging my head against a wall. Where are the Muslims like me? Allah would not punish for genuine questions. I do everything as good as i possibly can, even upping my prayers over the months of reading through these things...not just race other things which blatantly dont make sense, this all stemmed from Allah SWT allowing soldiers to 'have intercourse' with females whos just been captured after war. I don't kid myself if things dont look right, is this what we're supposed to do.
Who ever asked for where i got my hadith from, i've been told by Muslims the link below is a good place to read through the Hadith. Better be, i've been reading through it past few months, found a heap of disturbing things but....ah well. Read everywhere else except here first, but i'm glad i'm doing it.
I know theres some out there who look into things a bit deeper and have found things unusual. Please feel free to PM me to discuss things outside of the depressingly rigid responses on the board, it helps.
