Another Question From Your New Muslim Brother

[umm Zachariah]

Bismillah


Assalamu aleikum,


Brother Anya, you quote what I wrote and call me Intution, but I still assume you refer to my writing [img]style_emoticons/default/huh.gif[/img]


Let me tell you WHY I do not understand the 'connection' between raisins and black people. I too ask questions, just like you do [img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img] And it is still unanswered so I have not left it behind me.


And since I DO NOT UNDERSTAND this I ask YOU since you seem to see a connection between these words.


I see what you mean with 'coal' but to my knowledge it cannot be any other color than black, I may be wrong of course. So still, therefore I do not understand the 'one color black raisin' since they are not only one color. I am sorry for repeating myself but perhaps we can clarify this now and then have a possiblity to continue?


So brother believe me I am like a BIG ?sign [img]style_emoticons/default/blink.gif[/img][img]style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif[/img][img]style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif[/img] about you telling me I do not see it offensive, when I read the ahadith and do not see it pointing to black people. And it has nothing to do with you thinking that it is something I WANT to believe, it is how I UNDERSTAND the ahadith. And I read it without anyone trying to explain it for me. I just read it and think what it tells me.


Brother, have you thought about what you say, 'that no one did told you about this when being a new Muslim' racism I suppose you mean, that is is beacuse we see that there is no racism in Islam? Are you now telling me, I have been a Muslimah for 8 years alhamdulillah, that one thing that I did find so liberating when embracing Islam, was that it is without racism. That was one thing that was so obvious to me in the Message. And now you are telling me I am totally wrong?


Wasalam umm Z
