Andre Owens - It’s amazing that crap like this new Civil Warmovie gets made but we can’t get Reparations made.
Kris Mosby - Huh?
Robert Roach - @Kris... Andre & his writing partner had theproject optioned & in late development just before the pandemic.
Andre Owens - @Robert… We actually sold the script, notjust as an option. But they just won’t make it.
Jeff Carroll - There's a Reparations movie?
Andre Owens - I sold a script called Reparations toSony in 2019.
Jeff Carroll - was about a take over of the government?
Andre Owens - Nah. Itwas a heist movie involving newly found Confederate gold that the leadcharacter is determined to get and use for Reparations.
Jeff Carroll - well Civil War is an Anti war movie.
Andre Owens - Well, I’ll have to take your word for it as Iwon’t be watching. From what Ive read, I wouldn’t like it.
Greg Burnham - I didn't think it was crap. But I agree withthe rest
Kris Mosby - My bad Andre, I thought you were referringto something else. I had forgotten about the title of your script.
Muhammad Rasheed - Andre wrote: "It was a heist movieinvolving newly found Confederate gold that the lead character is determined toget and use for Reparations."
How much gold is the script describing? "Newlyfound" back in the 1800s would make sense if it would match the"40 acres and a mule" levels at the time.
150 years later, and an estimated $20 trillion would just bethe down payment on the robust Reparations program the American Descendants ofSlavery requires to be made whole. Found gold wouldn't do it, not even the Count of Monte Cristo's cache("Zatara, the boat can't hold no more, and there's at least eight moreboat loads down there!")

True Reparations will take no less than the enormousspending power of the US Government to pull off.
Andre Owens - Uh, its called fiction.
Muhammad Rasheed - It's still important. You don't thinkthat the mass media version of fiction isn't capable of influencing society?
Look at it this way: Currently, there's an active Reparations political movement going on, and a vital aspect of it is educating the peoplein what a robust Reparatory Justice claim actually is so we can make informeddecisions at the polls. Unfortunately, some of that education involvesdeprogramming the people from the ignorance of Dave Chappelle's popular skit,that our ideological foes & rivals often weaponize against us, pretendingthe skit's silly, but stupid assumptions were real. We already have idiotsequating Reparations with "school vouchers" or Financial Literacy™night class discounts, and other stupid sh*t like that. We really don't need tohave to deprogram them of believing Reparations will have to wait until we findsome buried treasure somewhere, too.
Being a Woke Creative comes with a certain amount ofsocio-political responsibility.
Muhammad Rasheed - @Andre… Does your movie have a similar flavor to Three Kings (1999),starring George Clooney and Ice Cube?
Andre Owens - Nah, not really. Its more like a MichaelSchultz type film. Although, I could envision Terrence Malick making it.

Hakeem Ábdul-Hameed - Do Muslims worship a "Moongod"❓
The Christians followed Paul and so deviated into Roman paganism such as Trinity, Easter and Christmas. They have forgotten the importance of lunar month observances!
The moon is a mere creation of Allah, just as Jesus Christ pbuh is a mere creation of Allah. Muslims will never worship the moon or any other creature. Islam is true monotheism and rejection of Paganism. Come to Islam. Come to success in both worlds ❗😃👌🏽
Muhammad Rasheed - According to Dr. Marijn van Putten, Qur'anic researcher at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics:
"[T]hat if the identification of al-ʾilāh and aḷḷāh being related by native speakers, it's not that strange for aḷḷāh to become associated with the one God if al-ʾilāh is. From numerous finds of pre-Islamic inscriptions in the Hijaz now, it's fairly clear that aḷḷāh was understood to be the name of the main monotheistic deity in the pre-Islamic period already. So it's not Islam's innovation. In light of this pre-Islamic evidence, I think any attempt to make sense of aḷḷāh in a pagan context in pre-Islamic times is almost certainly wrong."
SOURCE: Dr. Marijn van Putten Qur'anic text - Reddit FAQ

Teyyeb Saleem - Are you talking of the self-invented "trinity" consisting of "Allah, Maryam, and Isa"?
Hakeem Ábdul-Hameed - @Teyyeb... The post is self-explanatory.
Teyyeb Saleem - If it is "self-explanatory", then why are you afraid of talking of that self-invented "trinity" consisting of "Allah, Maryam, and Isa"? I can provide reference, if you are interested.
Muhammad Rasheed - @Teyyeb... The Qur'an never claimed that Mary was part of your trinity. It only said to stop saying trinity, and stop worshiping Mary. Your inability to focus on unambiguous explicit expression to instead conjure fake ideologies from ambiguous, implicit expression has failed you once again.
Teyyeb Saleem - M. Rasheed wrote: "The Qur'an never claimed that Mary was part of your trinity"
Qur'an 5:116"And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?"
It clearly speaks of three gods: Allah, Maryam, and 'Isa. My dear brother in Islam, why don't you take some time to read Islam before posting anything?
Muhammad Rasheed - Teyyeb wrote: "It clearly speaks of three gods"
At no point does the Qur'an ever claim that Mary was considered to be a part of your 'trinity' doctrine.
Christians routinely ignore unambiguous, explicit verses to favor conjuring false ideologies from ambiguous, implicit verses. You're famous for it. Please refrain from performing this act with the texts of Islam. Thanks.

Teyyeb Saleem - Is "Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah" an ambiguous statement? How can you justify that self-made "trinity"? Has this trinity been ever the official creed of Christians? What would you call such a person?
Muhammad Rasheed - Teyyeb wrote: "Is 'Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah' an ambiguous statement?"
No. Allah said that on the Day of Judgment, He's going to ask His servant if He told him to tell the people to worship him and his mom. That's pretty clear to me, but I'm not trained to invent false ideologies from scriptural texts the way the Christians are.
Teyyeb wrote: "How can you justify that self-made 'trinity?'"
Christians self-invented the trinitarian version of Jesus' message, causing the One God to rebuke you for it in the Qur'an.
Teyyeb wrote: "Has this trinity been ever the official creed of Christians?"
The belief in the Holy Trinity was officially agreed upon by church leaders, from the Roman Empire, at the Council of Nicea in the year 325 CE. Theophilus of Antioch is the earliest Church father to have used the word "Trinity" to refer to God.
Teyyeb wrote: "What would you call such a person?"
Hellbound.
Teyyeb Saleem - (1) Christians, like other religious persons, might have invented some other foolish statements, but they never invented a trinity composed of Allah, Maryam, and 'Isa ("Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah"). As far I know it has never been the official creed of Christians.
(2) What do you say of the person who invented that"trinity"?
Muhammad Rasheed - Christians worship Mary as a divine entity and pray to her as a goddess, "mother of god" figure. In the Qur'an, God said to knock it off.

Christians also worship a "holy trinity" concept. In the Qur'an, God said to knock that off, too.
The most stupid of the Christians, falsely believe (not a surprise) that the Qur'an is conflating the Christian worship of Mary with their pagan "trinity" concept and use it to deflect from the point of their own hellbound paganism.
Muhammad Rasheed - Teyyeb wrote: "(1) Christians, like other religious persons, might have invented some other foolish statements"
"Might...?" 🤨 It's literally all you do. You go out of your way to invent new and exciting ways to run headlong towards hellfire as the most pagan of the three Abrahamic Faiths.
Teyyeb wrote: "but they never invented a trinity composed of Allah, Maryam, and 'Isa"
Literally no one said they did.
Teyyeb wrote: "('Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah')."
The Qur'an acknowledges that foolish Christians worship both Jesus (pbuh) and his mom. No one claimed that your well-documented worship of Mary was included within your pagan 'holy trinity' concept. Your penchant for inventing false narratives by reading into verses things they don't say (see: "son of God" as a literal belief) is the root cause of this issue.
Teyyeb wrote: "As far I know it has never been the official creed of Christians."
No one of the Muslim side ever claimed it was.
Teyyeb Saleem - Thanks for denying the Quran 5:116. It suits you. Ahmaq Deedat and Zakar Naik also do the same to win the argument.
Teyyeb Saleem - "Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah".
Muhammad Rasheed - Teyyeb wrote: "Thanks for denying the Quran 5:116. It suits you."
When have I denied the Qur'an? 🤔 That's an odd claim.
What I did do was deny a false narrative that an ignorant Christian with demonstrably weak reading comprehension skills tried to spin out of the Qur'an.

Non-Human Media (@NonHumanMedia1) – Part 2
[VIDEO] 1989 SPECIAL REPORT: "CHICAGO BLACKS VS. ARAB GROCERY STORE OWNERS" | YouTube
CHICAGO TONIGHT
JOHN CALLOWAY: Many of us are surprised when we read thatthere are a thousand or hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Arab or ArabAmerican owned grocery stores in Chicago and I think many people will besurprised to hear about the tension between these store owners and blacks. Tellus about, when we talk about Arabs or Arab Americans, where did they come…which nations, what part of the world did they, of the Arab world did they comefrom?
JENNIFER ROBLES: A lot of the grocers on the west side thatI spoke with and talked to at length came from Palestine, Palestinian, WestBank. Although, there in Chicago, there are concentrations of Jordanians, ofother nationalities within the Arab American countries, but on the West Sidethey seem to be newer to the United States and primarily from the West Bank.
Non-Human Media (@NonHumanMedia1) – “The customers in most of these stores are low income Blacks, the store's owners are often Arab Americans”“Selling liquor being one of their main items of sale”
K-NV (@KLV92168164) - Our focus should be on reversing the bad path we took integrating. Replacing those Muslim Alcohol sellers with Black owned stores.
Muhammad Rasheed - "Replacing those hostile Arab-immigrant store owners with ADOS-owned stores."
Fixed.
But how without our Reparations and the massive government support that implies?
K-NV (@KLV92168164) - I meant what I said. Most of them are Muslims. Reparations are necessary.
Muhammad Rasheed - The religion they subscribe to is irrelevant, since many ADOS are also Muslim. The problem is our ongoing war against the multi-headed immigrant figure.
Muhammad Rasheed - Arab immigrants partner with whitesupremacy to treat ADOS like trash, despite what the Qur'an says about thepractices they engage in. How are they not the same as the Jews who likewisejustify their wrong by vilifying "the other?" What about the ADOS whoare Muslim? #hypocrisy

All Things Education Official (@Knowledge_Reign) - I am a Muslim Foundational Black AmericanFreedman. Many racists that claim to be Muslim don’t even know that ProphetMuhammad (PBUH) was of a Black lineage and that his close companion was Bilal aBlack Ethiopian. They only profess to be Muslim but their actions saydifferently
Muhammad Rasheed - You may was well drop that"FBA/Freedmen" stuff. You're doing yourself a disservice and taintingyour witness. 'Muslim ADOS' is where it's at for those of us who believe.
All Things Education Official (@Knowledge_Reign) - Sir, Iidentify as a Foundational Black American Muslim. The great thing is that youand I are both of the same lineage and I support you and my claim toreparations and this land.
Muhammad Rasheed - The history of these recent groups whocall themselves "Foundational Black American" and"Freedmen" is filled with lies, betrayal, white favor courting, etc.,and cannot be separated from that. Using those labels taints your witness as abeliever.

Muhammad Rasheed - Honestly, there is zero excuse for aBlack American Muslim to side with 'FBA, B1, Freedmen' instead of with #ADOS.It demonstrates an individual's embarrassing lack of discernment.

All Things Education Official (@Knowledge_Reign) - All I seeis an attempt to shame individuals that have the same ideological beliefs butchoose to identify by a different name. I am ADOS. I am FBA. I am Freedman. Iam B1.
Muhammad Rasheed - You should be ashamed to align yourselfwith those tags who by no means have the same ideological beliefs as thededicated activists. The One God said STAND FIRMLY FOR JUSTICE, but you boldlyreject this command to seat yourself in the company of grifting charlatans.
All Things Education Official (@Knowledge_Reign) - Allah uAlim. Be well Sir.
Muhammad Rasheed - Allah does know best, that's why Ireferenced the unambiguous and explicit verse about the topic.
All Things Education Official (@Knowledge_Reign) - …but YOUare not the judge of what is right and just Sir. Your statements anddeclarations imply that your way is the right and just way. I agree to disagreewith your position, love you for the sake of Allah and wish you peace.
Muhammad Rasheed - I don't have to be the Judge, I just needto point to the scripture revealed to guide us aright. If you are indifferentto the Word, or outright hate it as you believe it cramps your style, thenplease stop publicizing that you are a Muslim and just worship Nasheed &Co.
All Things Education Official (@Knowledge_Reign) - Yourshaming tactics are ridiculous at this point. Do not question my iman becauseYOU don’t agree with my politics. “If it makes your heart waver do without”. Ifmy heart were wavering, your feeble attempt at shame would clearly be rejectedby me.
Muhammad Rasheed - Your politics consists of siding withknown grifters who betrayed your own people to chase the bag of white favor,which is in direct violation of Qur'an 4:135. Your personal expression of imandemonstrably lacks integrity in perfect imitation of a Godless communist agent.#shame
Muhammad Rasheed - lol Are we talking about the same Tariqwho collected funds for a questionable 'museum' only to pivot and make it ahookah-stripper lounge or whatever?

Muhammad Rasheed - Your witness is tainted by yourassociation with seedy characters. The only question remaining is whether youare merely a blind & gullible dupe, or part of a coordinated cell of redchaos agents in the 20th century mode?
Probably the latter since the devil eschews spending fundson risky new tricks.

Bruce Ramsey -

OMA! Is the Quran ("the clear signs", the " book that explains EVERYTHING fully in detail" (Quran 12:111)) saying that PAUL is an Apostle of Allah IN the scripture this picture calls your ATTENTION to!?! I'm thinking the Quran IS "clear signs", a "clear book" here and that it IS Paul this ayat (verse) IS calling your attention to, O Muslim!
Muhammad Rasheed - Why does your meme have "( named Paul)" inserted in it when no English translation of the 60 has that in there? 🤨
Bruce Ramsey - Well, the Sunni's Ibn Kathir thought it was Bulus, which is "Paul" in Arabic.
Muhammad Rasheed - So? Do you blindly accept everything ibn Kathir opined was true? Why is this meme irresponsibly inserting ibn Kathir's opinion into the Qur'anic text?
Muhammad Rasheed - Here's a far more accurate scriptural reference to Paul of Tarsus:

Bruce Ramsey - So, that Torah passage is anti-Paul but not anti-Muhammad? Hmm.
Muhammad Rasheed - Paul was formally executed by the state in fulfilment of the Deut. 18:20 prophecy.
Muhammad (pbuh) was undisputed leader of a unified Arabia who died in his wife's house from natural causes after the formal completion of his earthly prophethood mission.
How are they the same?
Bruce Ramsey - Poisoned goat meat is "natural causes"? Hmm.
Muhammad Rasheed - Four years later he was supposed to have died of a poison after the Qur'an was complete? What kind of poison was that?
How long does poison stay in the human body again?
Muhammad Rasheed - Was this a magical 'Buddhist Palm' time-delayed poison that's so flexible, you can set a timer on one guy but kill another guy instantly with the same dosage application?
Muhammad Rasheed - Even if he did die from a sneaky assassination attack using poison, what does that have to do with the Deut. 18:20 prophecy? "Execution" is very different from "assassination"—the former is an official death sentence performed by the state, usually in front of an audience, which is what happened to Paul of Tarsus.
Bruce Ramsey - In the sahih (sound/authentic), Mo complains about the "food he ate at Khaibar" severing his aorta (i.e. proving him to be a false prophet by Quran standard). That's good enough for me to know that he was never the same after eating the poisoned goat cooked up by the Jewish woman whose village and family old Mo slaughtered.
Bruce Ramsey - Where did I say he was being executed OR assassinated? Sounds like he was poisoned, to the point where it didn't kill him, but, make him complain years later about it BEING the food he ate making him have his main arterie feel severed (i.e. as if he was a false prophet by Quran standard).
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "In the sahih (sound/authentic), Mo complains"
Why do you believe he actually said that?
Bruce wrote: "about the 'food he ate at Khaibar'"
The food that he spat out, according to the narrative (if true)? lol
Bruce wrote: "severing his aorta"
lol What 7th century personality—illiterate by the way—would even talk like that?
hahahaha Y'all never think this stupid mess through. lol
Bruce wrote: "(i.e. proving him to be a false prophet by Quran standard)"
Oh, you mean the standards of THIS Qur'an...?

Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Where did I say he was being executed OR assassinated?"
NOT mentioning it is where your argument fails. Deut. 18:20 says that the false prophet who dares speak falsehood in God's Name will be EXECUTED.
• Paul of Tarsus was formally executed by the state (decapitation)• Muhammad (pbuh) was conspicuously NOT executed.
Bruce wrote: "Sounds like he was poisoned"
Sounds like someone invented a fake hadith after his death to pretend to take credit for him who actually died from natural causes. It was probably a relative of the crone who tried to poison him (if true).
Bruce wrote: "to the point where it didn't kill him, but, make him complain years later about it BEING the food he ate"
That he actually spat out you mean, according to the hadith you're supposed to be referencing. 🙄 Can we at least agree that "spitting food out" is very different from eating it? lol
Bruce wrote: "making him have his main arterie feel severed"
lol wtf does that even MEAN? hahahaha How do people typically describe heart attack symptoms again? Who has EVER pinpointed a specific artery, vein, capillary as the source of a heart-related ailment's pain? Some kook read that verse in the Qur'an and invented a hadith around it because enemies of Islam do stupid sh*t like that—and dummkopfs picked it up and ran with it as if it was real.
Bruce wrote: "(i.e. as if he was a false prophet by Quran standard)."
You mean the standards of THIS Qur'an? This one here?

Bruce Ramsey - No, I'm thinking about the Quran verse about what Allah would do to Mo if Mo was basically a false prophet (getting his aorta severed, which Mo then says he feels due to the "food I ate at Khaibar (the poisoned goat prepared by the Jewish woman whose village and family Mo had slaughtered).
Bruce Ramsey - No, not that one.
Muhammad Rasheed - I know what you were talking about; that's the position I was refuting.
What's your counter, please?
Bruce Ramsey - Refuting me on... what? 🙂
Bruce Ramsey - By the way, I want to thank you for all that material you gave me. 🙂
Muhammad Rasheed - What kept you from just reading the Qur'an for yourself?
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Refuting me on... what? 🙂"
So, you can't defend your position? 'christian prince' only taught you to blindly copy/paste the same talking points over-n-over by rote? #sad
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "By the way, I want to thank you for all that material you gave me. 🙂"
You're very welcome. Here's a little more.
Drugs metabolize in the human body on a gradation countdown known as the "half-life." That means its levels within the body will drop by half every hour. This varies from drug to drug, as you can expect, but let's look at the half-life of historical drugs that were used most often as weaponized poisons during the 7th century:
• mercury - The absorbed mercury is distributed throughout all tissues within 30 hrs. Its half-life ranges from 45 to 70 days when it's flushed from the body.• arsenic - Ingested inorganic arsenic has a half-life of 3-5 days (methylated compounds are excreted more rapidly).• thallium - The biological half-life of thallium has a wide range of 1 to 30 days.• water hemlock - Has what is considered a long half-life that is measured in a few months.
Drugs do not stay in the body for years. In other words, the hadith suggesting that the prophet died from a poison he spat out four years before, is a fiction.
Aaron Mumba - @Muhammad... Muhammad a force prophet,Paul was not a prophet he was an apostle research more blind follower
Bruce Ramsey - @Muhammad... Three years, not four. But, even if it was, say, TEN years and Mo said the same, seems to be he was letting it out that he was a false prophet by Quran standard.
Bruce Ramsey - Reading the Quran? Doesn't it have to be read and understood in Arabic to actually have READ the Quran? Oh, wait, you don't know Arabic, so, I guess not.
Bruce Ramsey - What position am I not defending?
Bruce Ramsey - How about acid that does damage to the lining of the mouth?
Dolores Davidson - @Muhammad... The state, at the time of Paul was polytheistic.This is why he was in jail in the first place. The state that executed Jesus was the same. The practice of crucifixion is a pagan ritual torture that Muhammad loved as well Quran 5:33. Moses didn't torture his enemies because he didn't worship a pagan god. Allah used animal pleasure and animal pain to lure pagans into his cult.Judaism and Christianity recognize the human soul as essential to human nature, as opposed to animal pleasure and pain. The heaven of the Bible is a place of worship. Jannah is about people who own slaves who are in turn owned by their material gods, things that are only temporary here on earth. If your material possessions take on an eternal nature, they won you, you don't own them! Quran 56:11-37,76:11-22
Muhammad Rasheed - Aaron wrote: "Muhammad a force prophet"
What?
Aaron wrote: "Paul was not a prophet he was an apostle"
Paul prophesized that the Second Coming of the Christ Jesus (pbuh) would happen during his lifetime. #oops
Muhammad Rasheed - @Dolores... Why are you tagging me in this stream-of-consciousness nonsense you made up while on an opioid high?
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Three years, not four."
*shrug* Both are fictions.
Bruce wrote: "But, even if it was, say, TEN years"
lol Poison doesn't stay in the body for years. That's how you know that 'hadith' was fake.
Bruce wrote: "and Mo said the same"
Why do you believe he actually said it?
Bruce wrote: "seems to be he was letting it out that he was a false prophet by Quran standard."
The Qur'an's standard established that Muhammad (pbuh) was the final prophet of the One God and that those who reject this fact are hellbound. And it says this quite often.
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "What position am I not defending?"
Yours. You seem content to blindly copy/paste your folio of talking points and then dance around them with wordplay and sophistry fallacies. You are not an intellectual, but a xenophobic hate propagandist.
Bruce Ramsey - The "clear book" (Quran) also said that Allah would sever his aorta if he was basically a false prophet. Then he complained that the food he ate at Khaibar was doing just that. YOU don't want to believe your prophet there for sure.
Bruce Ramsey - I'll copy paste anything that makes my point no matter how much anyone disagrees with it.
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Then he complained that the food he ate at Khaibar was doing just that."
Why do you believe he actually said that?
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "I'll copy paste anything that makes my point no matter how much it gets refuted because beaming hate propaganda at people is what I do per my Russian troll farm contract."
Fixed.
Bruce Ramsey - All this Muslim cherry picking what THEY want to believe from the hadith... is catchy. 🙂
Bruce Ramsey - LOL! 🙂
Muhammad Rasheed - I don't know about "catchy," but it's logical and reasonable considering it's a bunch of human testimony material of varying levels of quality. Why wouldn't we analyze it to vet which ones were real or not?
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "LOL! 🙂"
How would it benefit me to blindly and uncritically treat the body of ahadith literature as if they were all as inerrant as the Word of God?
Muhammad Rasheed - In order for you to score a victory (not a victory of truth, but one based on trolling hate propaganda), you need to convince me to ignore the textual hierarchy in my own religion. To do so would make me an idiot.
Muhammad Rasheed - Qur'an > hadith
Bruce Ramsey - Is it from the Quran or the hadith that you are to say/mutter/shout/chant "Allahuachbar"?
Bruce Ramsey - Well, again, ss it from the Quran or the hadith that you are to say/mutter/shout/chant "Allahuachbar"? How about putting the "(pbuh) at the end of Mo's name?
Bruce Ramsey - So, again, WHAT comes to you mind when you hear or read that the Quran "explains EVERYTHING fully in detail"? By the way, is reciting the shahadah from the Quran or hadith? Do you know what you do when you recite it?
Bruce Ramsey - Right.
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Is it from the Quran or the hadith that you are to say/mutter/shout/chant 'Allahuachbar?'"
Did you just make that word up, or were you using your mocking blackface minstrel voice again?
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "How about putting the '(pbuh)' at the end of Mo's name?"
That's in the Qur'an. Why?
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "So, again, WHAT comes to you mind when you hear or read that the Quran 'explains EVERYTHING fully in detail?'"
Again, the Qur'an is the fuller explanation of the Book of Moses (pbuh). That's what Allah is talking about — the Qur'an explains everything from the Book of Moses in detail.
Bruce wrote: "By the way, is reciting the shahadah from the Quran or hadith?"
The concept is in the Qur'an, but it was codified into ritual form by the prophet.Why?
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Right."
What is your interest in asking these questions about the Quran & hadith?
Bruce Ramsey - Oh, one more thing. The Quran says it's a "clear book" that "explains EVERYTHING fully in detail" (Quran 12:111). Do you believe that is true when you read surah 36:14? Be truthful NOW.... no taqiyya (lying for Allah), please.
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Do you believe that is true when you read surah 36:14?"
lol Allah says that the Qur'an explains everything in the Book of Moses (pbuh) in detail. That's the context — the Qur'an is the fuller explanation of the Book of Moses. Your opinion about the verse is incorrect as it's divorced from the textual context.
Bruce Ramsey - Oh really? (From our dialogue in Messenger): DOES the Quran give a FULLY DETAILED explanation of WHY Numbers (a part of the Torah ("Allah's book given to Musa") has a metallic IMAGE of a snake as a SUCCESSFUL snake bite medicine for all bitten by snakes if they looked up and SAW the metallic IMAGE of a snake held up on a stick by "Musa"? DOES the Quran give a FULLY DETAILED explanation of WHY a SPOTLESS lamb's blood had to be put on the DOORWAYS of the Israelites to keep the Angel of Death from killing the FIRST born of Israel? DOES the Quran give a FULLY DETAILED explanation of THAT!?!? LOL!!! Does it give a FULLY DETAILED explanation of why one is CURSED for "hanging on a tree" if Christianity is false? Does it give a FULLY DETAILED explanation of WHY Abel's bloody sacrifice of lambs was accepted by God and NOT the sacrifice of bloodless vegetation offered by older brother Kane? THINK, please. THINK. IS the Quran as it says, "a FULLY detailed explanation of the "Book of Moses"? Does it do that? No. It isn't. So, where does that leave the Quran, sir? THINK, O slave of the "best of deceivers", THINK!!! 🙂
Dolores Davidson - Muhammad contradicts Moses because Moses wasn't a materialist. Moses never fought people who believed in the same God in order to enrich himself with the spoils of war.
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Oh really? (From our dialogue in Messenger)"
Bet.
Bruce wrote: "DOES the Quran give a FULLY DETAILED explanation of THAT!?!? LOL!!!"
Allah provides a detailed explanation of everything He actually revealed to His prophet, and ignores the fabricated nonsense concocted by the Jewish scribes pretending to be part of His Book.
Bruce wrote: "Does it give a FULLY DETAILED explanation of WHY Abel's bloody sacrifice of lambs was accepted by God and NOT the sacrifice of bloodless vegetation offered by older brother Kane?"
lol Sure, it does. Abel's sacrifice was accepted because of his sincere piety, while Cain's was rejected because of his begrudgingly given mess that represented the casted-off husks and worst parts of his crop that he didn't want to give anyway. The story had nothing at all to do with blood, pagan.

Ironic. Your scriptural analysis powers are trash.
Bruce Ramsey - Are YOU the Quran? YOU are the one giving an explanation, NOT the "book that explains EVERYTHING FULLY in detail" (Quran). LOL! 🙂
Muhammad Rasheed - Bruce wrote: "Are YOU the Quran?"
Do I need to be to put the isolated verse back into textual context?
Muhammad Rasheed - Dolores wrote: "Muhammad contradicts Moses because"
Because the Book of Moses (pbuh) was compromised by corrupt Jewish scribes.
Bruce Ramsey - First you need to be clear about what you just said.
Muhammad Rasheed - The People of the Book lacked any kind of scriptural preservation process, and allowed the near total corruption of their book.

Abdullah Al Rafi - I am Muslim.
If any christian or agnostic sincerely interested to learn about islam and have any question about islam, you can ask me in call in the messenger.
Remo Giani - If you really want to learn what Islam is, just ask me!
Muhammad Rasheed - @Remo... Are you Muslim?
Remo Giani - @Muhammad... I'm not Muslim, but if you want to learn the truth about Islam, just ask me, because I know the whole of Islam, better than any of your theologians!
Muhammad Rasheed - So, you are a hostile and biased outsider trying to poison Islam for other people by bearing false witness.
Interesting.
Muhammad Rasheed - Are you a Christian?
Remo Giani - More than anything, I am a free thinker, who through science, history and the evidence of facts, has demonstrated that certainly no sacred book contains the authentic word of God!
Remo Giani - I am not hostile to anyone, I ONLY seek the Truth that people like you trample on without dignity!
I DO NOT use any false witnesses, LIAR!
Muhammad Rasheed - Remo wrote: "More than anything, I am a free thinker"
That's the universal code for "narrow-minded atheist."
Remo wrote: "who through science, history and the evidence of facts, has demonstrated that certainly no sacred book contains the authentic word of God!"
That's weird, considering science, history and the evidence of facts confirm the sacred scripture of the One God as True.
Throw Down Your Rod, please. Let's see what you have.
Muhammad Rasheed - Remo wrote: "I am not hostile to anyone"
You admit you are a narrow-minded disbeliever who wants to poison Islam with your biases while using all of these aggressive exclamation marks. That's pretty hostile, to be sure.
Remo wrote: "I ONLY seek the Truth"
Have you ever read the Qur'an through, cover-to-cover then? Or are you content to sit on the outside throwing potshots at strawmen effigies the way you "free thinkers" typically perform?
Remo wrote: "that people like you trample on without dignity!"
The One God is the Source Truth that all lesser truths emanate from.
Remo wrote: "I DO NOT use any false witnesses, LIAR!"
We'll see. 😏
Throw Down Your Rod.
Remo Giani - You are ranting like any indoctrinated and plagiarized Muslim, but without independent thought!
Science DOES NOT confirm ANY verse of the Quran!
History shows that the Koran says bullshit (see the non-existent Bicorn wall).
The evidence of facts demonstrates that the Koran writes nonsense (see the non-existent "seven heavens"), or the Earth considered to be the center of the universe!
The Koran is spectacularly wrong every time it is confronted with reality!
Have I been clear enough, man with a narrow and plagiarized mind?
Remo Giani - I don't admit anything, LIAR! Can you read what I wrote?
I have read the Koran, Hadith, Tafsir, Sira, documents of the first Islamic historians and I know them better than anyone else: what don't you understand in such a simple statement?
Which true God are you talking about? 🤣🤣
Certainly not the one described in the sacred books!
Muhammad Rasheed - Remo wrote: "You are ranting like any indoctrinated"
Literally everyone is indoctrinated with SOMETHING. "Freethinkers," for instance, are indoctrinated with classic atheism tenets, various bolshevisms, trans-material humanism and, of course, the white supremacist ideology.
Remo wrote: "and plagiarized Muslim"
What did I plagiarize, Remo? 😏
Remo wrote: "but without independent thought!"
Sure.
Remo wrote: "Science DOES NOT confirm ANY verse of the Quran!"
1.) Science confirms the Abrahamic God's claim of the universe having a beginning (Big Bang Theory)
2.) Science confirms the Abrahamic God's claim of there being a Great Flood near extinction event (Younger Dryas Impact Theory).
Remo wrote: "History shows that the Koran says bullshit (see the non-existent Bicorn wall)."
What are you talking about?
Oh, you mean "bi-HORN." You're talking about the impenetrable wall built by Dhu al-Qarnayn. Just because you haven't found it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's a major logical fallacy you're riding there, bud.
Remo wrote: "The evidence of facts demonstrates that the Koran writes nonsense (see the non-existent 'seven heavens')"
You don't even know what it's referring to. lol How can you debunk a mystery? By pretending to solve it by conjuring a strawman effigy and "debunking" that? lol That does sound like the kind of slimeball games a narrow-minded 'free thinker' would play certainly.
Remo wrote: "or the Earth considered to be the center of the universe!"
Where does the Qur'an make such a claim?
Remo wrote: "The Koran is spectacularly wrong every time it is confronted with reality!"
This is pretty hostile...
Remo wrote: "Have I been clear enough, man with a narrow and plagiarized mind?"
It depends on if you answer my clarification questions, or decide to duck them like a coward. I think I may remember you... Were you the one with the out-of-control spam-rants about the lamps chasing away the evil spirits? 🤔
Muhammad Rasheed - Remo wrote: "I don't admit anything, LIAR!"
lol Sure, you did.
Remo wrote: "Can you read what I wrote?"
Yes.
Remo wrote: "I have read the Koran"
Hmmm. Maybe. We'll see. I doubt it though.
Remo wrote: "Hadith"
There's literally more ahadith than any single human can read in a lifetime, so no.
Remo wrote: "Tafsir, Sira, documents of the first Islamic historians and I know them better than anyone else: what don't you understand in such a simple statement?"
I understand that you've developed an argument style that twists the material to your narrow-minded "free thinker" fallacy folio. You appear to be quite proud of your approach, as I suspect it works well on the "English is not their first language" crowd and they may get tripped up easily with your tricks. 🤔
But ahm ya huckleberry. 😊

Remo wrote: "Which true God are you talking about? 🤣🤣"
There is only One God, the Only True God that Jesus (pbuh) worshiped. That One. All-Powerful, Supreme Creator of reality.
Remo wrote: "Certainly not the one described in the sacred books!"
The very One.
Remo Giani - The admission can only be made by the same individual who made the previous statements, and I didn't do it, CLEAR?
All your ridiculous arguments are just repeating your previous idiocies!
EVERYTHING I claim works well with anyone, because FIRST my claims have been rigorously proven!
Your proclamations leave me indifferent, I repeat which God are you talking about?
The God unique Allah introduced by the Quran (choosing among the many pre-Islamic deities), is a non-existent God, invented by Muhammad and his collaborators!
Try to prove the opposite, if you are able!
Muhammad Rasheed - Remo wrote: "The admission can only be made by the same individual who made the previous statements, and I didn't do it, CLEAR?"
You give away your tells within your sloppy and emotional discourse. At this point, I don't think you can actually help yourself.
Remo wrote: "All your ridiculous arguments are just repeating your previous idiocies!"
Just answer my clarification questions, please. I may have expressed them in what seems like jest, but I was actually serious. Your participation will move the discussion along.
Remo wrote: "EVERYTHING I claim works well with anyone"
Ah. So, I was right. Good. #KingsToMeFernand
Remo wrote: "because FIRST my claims have been rigorously proven!"
lol You're using both "rigorously" and "proven" incorrectly.
Remo wrote: "Your proclamations leave me indifferent, I repeat which God are you talking about?"
The One God. I have no other to offer since the mathematical concept of "singular" greatly restricts my available options.
Remo wrote: "The God unique Allah introduced by the Quran (choosing among the many pre-Islamic deities), is a non-existent God, invented by Muhammad and his collaborators! Try to prove the opposite, if you are able!"
Here you are. According to Dr. Marijn van Putten, Qur'anic researcher at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics:
"[T]hat if the identification of al-ʾilāh and aḷḷāh being related by native speakers, it's not that strange for aḷḷāh to become associated with the one God if al-ʾilāh is. From numerous finds of pre-Islamic inscriptions in the Hijaz now, it's fairly clear that aḷḷāh was understood to be the name of the main monotheistic deity in the pre-Islamic period already. So it's not Islam's innovation. In light of this pre-Islamic evidence, I think any attempt to make sense of aḷḷāh in a pagan context in pre-Islamic times is almost certainly wrong."

Remo Giani - M. Rasheed wrote: "Literally everyone is indoctrinated with SOMETHING"
wrong!
1) I am NOT indoctrinated by anyone, because unlike you, I think exclusively with my intellect.
2) I am not an atheist, thus your pathetic deductions and rants on "atheism, bolshevisms" I am only in your mind, plagiarized and incapable of expressing coherent thoughts!
Also, DON'T you dare accuse me without any reason of being a "white supremacist" or racist, you low and despicable LIAR!
DON'T DARE, CLEAR? 😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮
Does criticizing the Koran and Islam mean being a "white supremacist", beast?
1) The Quran NEVER spoke of the expansion of the universe, but only that the universe was created very vast: study!
2) The Great Flood (which no one has ever proven) was mentioned long before the Bible and the Koran, so as usual, the Koran DOES NOT confirm anything!
3) You are so ignorant that you blindly believe the nonsense of the Koran!
Such a huge wall of iron and copper between two mountains could NEVER have been built at that time, both because iron was a rare material then, and because sufficient technology did not exist!
As regards its existence, satellite images are now able to distinguish details smaller than a meter on the surface of the Earth, but a gigantic and eye-catching wall between two mountains has never been found: it simply does NOT exist! Among other things, since the launch of the first Landsat satellite in 1972, image sensor technology has undergone rapid progress which has made it possible to collect increasingly useful data for identifying new deposits. Satellites equipped with latest generation sensors use the spectral properties of materials to identify minerals, but here too, no satellite has ever highlighted such an enormous quantity of iron!
Yet Islamic tradition states that Gog and Magog still wait behind that wall, until one day they manage to free themselves (21:96): once again, the statements of the Koran are proven FALSE!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4) NO mystery exists, the "seven heavens" were copied slavishly by the Babylonians and from the Jewish Talmud (word for word), and indicate the seven planetary spheres, on which the 5 planets known at the time, plus the Sun and the Moon, orbit around to the Earth, considered at the center of the universe (geocentric model).
Confirmation also comes from your most eminent theologian, al_Ghazali, who stated that the Earth is the center of the universe, and the planets, including the Sun and the Moon, revolve around it in their respective seven spheres: exactly the description of the geocentric model!
(al-Ghazali – The inconsistency of philosophers page 9).
And again, ignobly, you accuse people, without any confirmation: COWARD you will be, who NEVER responded to my arguments!
That's right, it was me, and once again, you (and no one else) could come up with just one way for the stars to strike the demons!
Your failure to respond attests to your obvious ignorance and specious LIES!
Muhammad Rasheed - Remo wrote: "That's right, it was me"
🤣 What are you? A comic book villain? lol
Remo wrote: "and once again, you (and no one else) could come up with just one way for the stars to strike the demons!"
As I recall, I answered your queries, pushed back on your claims, and as usual, asked for clarification questions only for you to duck them like a coward. That's why I felt the sense of 'deja vu' earlier.
Muhammad Rasheed - I'll wait for you to catch up.
Remo Giani - As usual, you're only capable of rambling!
- Were you able to prove that Allah exists and was not created by Muhammad and his collaborators? NO, so what are you talking about?
- Were you able to prove that the "seven heavens" exist, and were not copied from the Babylonians and the Talmud? Do you want me to show you the verses that prove it?
- You stated that if the Bicorn Wall (which no one could have built) has not yet been found, it does not mean that it does not exist, but I have shown you that with today's satellite technologies, this is IMPOSSIBLE, so once again your Koran makes mistakes, as it does every time it is confronted with Reality!
What don't you understand in such a simple speech?
Muhammad Rasheed - Remo wrote: "As usual, you're only capable of rambling!"
This line of yours counts as rambling. You appear to have an issue sticking to the topic.
Remo wrote: "Were you able to prove that Allah exists and was not created by Muhammad and his collaborators?"
Yes, that's why I posted the link to Dr. van Putten's FAQ answer about it that you ignored like a confirmed coward.
Remo wrote: "NO"
Does it not show up on your device?
Remo wrote: "so what are you talking about?"
When I post stuff in response to what you say, you tend to ignore it and opt to play these kinds of games instead. I gave you five whole hours to catch up and this is all I received from the "free thinker," huh?
Remo wrote: "Were you able to prove that the 'seven heavens' exist"
In Surah 67, God refers to the seven heavens as part of this world that we can study with our own eyes from the perspective of a primitive, 7th century Arabian. That means, the 'seven heavens' could be the layers of earth's atmosphere.
Remo wrote: "and were not copied from the Babylonians and the Talmud?"
I don't take the silly claims that the Qur'an "copied" anything seriously.
Remo wrote: "Do you want me to show you the verses that prove it?"
Since you've asked, I want you to be quick to make a point, stick to the point until the topic is finished, be diligent in answering follow-up questions for clarification, and spend less time being an erratic, emotional loudmouth, please, so the discussion can move forward at a brisker pace. There's a lad.
Remo wrote: "You stated that if the Bicorn Wall (which no one could have built) has not yet been found, it does not mean that it does not exist"
I did, and it represents a basic common sense observation, Mr. "free thinker." Please recognize that the primary ingredient of the science, history and the evidence of facts you claimed to believe in is "discovery." 🙄 Take the hint.
Remo wrote: "but I have shown you that with today's satellite technologies, this is IMPOSSIBLE"
This is foolishness. You don't even know what you are looking FOR or even where TO look. smh
Remo wrote: "so once again your Koran makes mistakes"
How is your own clumsy projection a mistake on the Qur'an's part?
Remo wrote: "as it does every time it is confronted with Reality!"
You present as an erratic, emotional troll, not as an independent original thinker dedicated to truth. So far, every single one of your projections have been those of a unstable fool.
Remo wrote: "What don't you understand in such a simple speech?"
I understand your sloppy and uninformed opinions about the Qur'an are both weak & silly by turns.
What do you have that's actually serious you can defend with something more substantial than increasing numbers of exclamation marks?
Muhammad Rasheed - Remo wrote: "wrong!"
It's actually very correct.
Remo wrote: "1) I am NOT indoctrinated by anyone"
You're indoctrinated with everything I listed as your base.
Remo wrote: "because unlike you, I think exclusively with my intellect."
I'm looking forward to when you decide to demonstrate this trait. Will it be long in coming?
Remo wrote: "2) I am not an atheist"
You're CLEARLY an atheist since you mocked the One God not even 3-posts ago. 🙄
Remo wrote: "thus your pathetic deductions and rants"
"Pathetic" or not, they were dead-on. I'm not interested in your feeble protests about it either; I know I'm right and remain unmoved by your obviously drug-fueled, hyperactive tantrums.
Remo wrote: "on 'atheism, bolshevisms' I am only in your mind, plagiarized and incapable of expressing coherent thoughts!"
You know exactly what I meant and we both know I am right — you're quite transparent. Accept it, adjust yourself and move on. You narrow-minded 'free thinkers' come a dime-a-dozen; I have quite a few of you on my trophy wall. In your case, you're what I call a "failed polymath," who spends all of his time pretending to be smart by beating up on people who barely know their religion and barely speak English. You drown the pathetic truth of your woefully-deficient intellectual shortcomings in your drug cocktail of choice, hence your unfocused, erratic performance in this thread. Elementary.
Remo wrote: "Also, DON'T you dare accuse me without any reason of being a 'white supremacist' or racist, you low and despicable LIAR!"
Sure. It's just a matter of time before you show that face in the thread, lest you prudently decide to abandon the discussion should you get too uncomfortable. We'll see. #ThatTrainIsNeverLate
Remo wrote: "DON'T DARE, CLEAR? 😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮"
Is this visual a clue as to which drug you're actually addicted to...? 🤔
Remo wrote: "Does criticizing the Koran and Islam mean being a 'white supremacist,' beast?"
Sometimes. There's a lot of material to dig into, and that group certainly has found their favorite cache to twist and misinterpret as much as you've done this lighter work. Mayhap you'll kick around in the same areas if we manage to get to the Middle Game.
Remo wrote: "1) The Quran NEVER spoke of the expansion of the universe, but only that the universe was created very vast: study!"
Ah. This is a clue that you've never read the Qur'an through before after-all. I was right once again. #KingsToMeFernand
The Qur'an states that the universe had a beginning and was created, as well that it used to be compressed, was "cleaved asunder" to expand into the vast and awe-inspiring miracle we observe today. In fact, Allah pointedly directs the revealed verses to the learned among the unbelievers — obviously not those of the 7th century, but those of today who know better. lol Is this not a miracle? How then are ye deluded away from the Truth?
Remo wrote: "2) The Great Flood (which no one has ever proven)"
I LITERALLY referenced the smoking gun that proves the Great Deluge of legend really happened, and you completely ignored it like the fake intellectual coward I pegged you for in the very beginning of this thread. Take a bow, jackass.
Remo wrote: "was mentioned long before the Bible and the Koran, so as usual, the Koran DOES NOT confirm anything!"
I said that the science confirmed what the Abrahamic God claimed, not the other way around, doofus. Is it now clear why I keep prefacing your silly "free thinker" title with "narrow-minded?" Your ignorant brain is both smooth as an egg and firmly shut like a sprung bear trap. #FailedPolymath
Remo wrote: "3) You are so ignorant that you blindly believe the nonsense of the Koran!"
Is it truly "ignorant" to accept the claims of the Omniscient Being at His Word? 🤨 I don't see how you managed to think that line through, really.
Remo wrote: "Such a huge wall of iron and copper between two mountains could NEVER have been built at that time, both because iron was a rare material then, and because sufficient technology did not exist!"
You have no idea what you are talking about. For one, there's no consensus whatsoever as to who Dhu al-Qarnayn actually was in history, let alone which time period is being described, so you're talking out of your butt again. It's still a baffling mystery to modern science how the ancients built the Great Pyramid of Giza, so all your "IMPOSSIBLE" claims of what previous civilizations could or could not do are irreversibly stupid. In fact, this counts as a glimpse into your personal white supremacist traits. 😉
Remo wrote: "but a gigantic and eye-catching wall between two mountains has never been found: it simply does NOT exist!"
Again, claiming something doesn't exist because it hasn't yet been discovered is not only NOT how science works, it's also a logical fallacy.
Remo wrote: "but here too, no satellite has ever highlighted such an enormous quantity of iron!"
The unknowns involved include:
1.) Which mountains?2.) How close were they?3.) Where are they?4.) When did the event take place?
This fourth unknown is worth exploring here for our purposes. What are the chances that an avalanche, or even the vast accumulation of natural debris over millennia, completely covered up the original wall? Or even environmental erosion worked on it so severely, you can't even tell it was originally manmade? All of this is real. I'm saying all of this only to point out how worthless your critical thinking skills are. Your "intellect" is trash. Your atheist biases prevent you from even TRYING to think.
Remo wrote: "Yet Islamic tradition states that Gog and Magog still wait behind that wall"
The Qur'an says it, so it's 100% true in everyway.
Remo wrote: "until one day they manage to free themselves (21:96): once again, the statements of the Koran are proven FALSE!!"
Logic dictates that we actually won't know if a prophecy about the future is true until the future of that predicted event actually arrives. The Gog & Magog thing was mentioned as a sign for the coming Last Day, was it not? Please work harder to be less of a narrow-minded idiot. I promise you'll be the better for it.
Remo wrote: "🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"
🤔🤨
Remo wrote: "4) NO mystery exists, the 'seven heavens' were copied"
[*dismissed*]
Remo wrote: "Confirmation also comes from your most eminent theologian, al_Ghazali"
There is no priesthood in Al-Islam, Remo. Al-Ghazali was just some guy with his own opinions about the materials.
Remo wrote: "who stated that the Earth is the center of the universe"
In other words, it wasn't at all the Qur'an that said the earth was the center of the universe as you first sneakily implied, but it was just some guy with his own outdated and wrong opinions about the material who claimed it. Why are you bringing him up in this thread as if he holds some kind of relevance at all? 🤔🤨
Remo wrote: "and the planets, including the Sun and the Moon, revolve around it in their respective seven spheres: exactly the description of the geocentric model!"
So? 🤨
Remo wrote: "(al-Ghazali – The inconsistency of philosophers page 9)."
Literally all philosophers are inconsistent. What about it?
Remo wrote: "And again, ignobly, you accuse people, without any confirmation"
You labeled yourself a "free thinker." That tribe acts exactly the same way you are acting here. You are, the lot of you, an idiotic hive-mind with weak critical thinking skills...
Remo wrote: "COWARD you will be"
...and like you, your "free thinker" tribe routinely runs & ducks away from questions that challenge your silly, and poorly-reasoned assertions.
Remo wrote: "who NEVER responded to my arguments!"
I've very generously (some say OVER-generously) always respond to your arguments, even if just to discourage you from continuing to spread your befoulments about within my line-of-sight. Get your game up and be about it, or shut up.

*************************************

Muhammad Rasheed - This Terrytoons creation favorite of mine, "Deputy Dawg" was paired with Mighty Mouse shorts when I grew up in late 1970s Detroit MI. They came on during the weekdays in the 3:30 pm block.

Muhammad Rasheed - Created for Terrytoons by the ever-controversial Ralph Bakshi, "The Mighty Heroes" was another one of my personal favorite cartoon shows. Showing up during the 3:30 pm block, these shorts were a delight as part of the "and Friends!" within the Mighty Mouse & Friends show from my late 1970s Detroit MI childhood.

Muhammad Rasheed - This Hanna-Barbera created treat, "The Abbott and Costello Cartoon Show" came on during the weekdays (3:00 pm) back in Detroit MI in the late 1970s/early 1980s. The theme song was genuinely great and hilarious.
Jae Brown - I used to watch it in Toronto, Canada. It was not exclusive to Detroit
Muhammad Rasheed - I can't imagine why it would have been exclusive to Detroit, considering the Hanna-Barbera studios were in California.
Muhammad Rasheed - That would have been weird.
Anyway...

Muhammad Rasheed - Terrytoons' flagship star, "Mighty Mouse" burst onto my Detroit MI family's tv screen at the 3:30 pm timeslot with the world's most famous operatic catchphrase. Today, the sound very well may include an intrusive mental image of comedian Andy Kaufman cuttin' up on stage, but in my late 1970s/early 1980s childhood, it was only the sound of good ole afterschool, cartoon action!
Rick D. Day - Andy's performance made Mighty Mouse Famous. fight me.
Muhammad Rasheed - Mighty Mouse was already famous, that's why the bit worked. He was performing, as a straight-faced, deadpan adult, what the kids used to do when the show intro played.

Muhammad Rasheed - In the time-honored tradition of properties like C. S. Lewis' Narnia and Mark Evanier's Dungeon's & Dragon's cartoon, "Kidd Video" also featured a group of kids finding themselves within another dimension where they had the rock-n-roll adventures of a lifetime. Back in the mid-1980s of Detroit MI, this cartoon, with it's bangin' theme song, was the very last cartoon of the day and formally ended my favorite part of Saturday morning.

Muhammad Rasheed - ♪ Working can wait! This is paradise, having no work to do! And taking it easy, too! Working can wait! ♫
In Porky's Bear Facts (1941), original WB 'Termite Terrace' animator Friz Freleng put his own spin upon the classic "lazy grasshopper/hardworking ant" fairy tale, and cast farmer Porky Pig opposite his lazy bear neighbor. I first saw this short in Detroit MI, back in the summer of 1982.
I'm confident the classic short never, ever showed anywhere else in the entire universe except on my family's Detroit television.
Jae Brown - Please stop saying that cartoons were exclusive to Detroit
Muhammad Rasheed - lol Not once did I ever say that the cartoons were exclusive to Detroit. I said that's where I was when I saw them as a kid. You're reading into my posts what is not implied.
Jae Brown - No, you're implying but are now denying
Muhammad Rasheed - I'm clarifying what I meant to clear up any confusion. I'm not denying anything.
Jae Brown - You implied then denied. Please stop the implying
Chris Putt - @Jae... Muhammad Rasheed is pointing out that he watched cartoons like these in Detroit. I live in the Detroit metro area but watched Kidd Video growing up in my hometown of Lima, OH in the 80s so it wasn’t exclusive to Detroit. No need for taking this so seriously or for the rightfighting.
Muhammad Rasheed - Jae wrote: "You implied then denied. Please stop the implying"
Meanwhile, I did neither of these.
Why are you trying to pick a fight with me? I thought you were supposed to be a follower of the Christ? Did he likewise go about falsely accusing people of imaginary deeds, too? I suggest you return to your bible and adjust your behavior, please. Thanks.
Jae Brown - No false accusations have been made. Rather, you've been falsely implying things and, called on them, opted to try to deny doing so. Please just quit it. Do it again and I'll be reporting and blocking you
Muhammad Rasheed - Jae wrote: "No false accusations have been made."
Sure, they were. You did it. To me. Please stop. #AsChristLovedTheChurch
Jae wrote: "Rather, you've been falsely implying things"
Noooo. Rather, you have been interpreting my posts through your cockeyed Canadian-French understanding of English. Do better.
Jae wrote: "Please just quit it."
From now on (starting retroactively from the Porky's Bear Facts post), I plan to actually pretend all tv shows I watched as a kid only EVER played on my family's tv alone. #WelcomeToThePettyverse #TakeYourShoesOff
Jae wrote: "Do it again and I'll be reporting and blocking you"
Bring it, Pastor. 😠
Muhammad Rasheed - I think you're only behaving like this because you saw I had a Arabic name and it triggered you. Shame on you.

Muhammad Rasheed - In mid-1980 Detroit MI, it was difficult to catch the cartoon "Pole Position" (created from a DIC/MK Company partnership) because it came on Sundays for some reason, and I always kept forgetting about it. It was always a treat, primarily because I was surprised to see a Saturday morning quality toon on a Sunday, so I probably actually enjoyed it more than I normally would have just for that alone. It did have one of my all-time favorite theme songs though.
None of you probably saw it because I'm sure it only played on my family's tv specifically. #TooBad #SorryNotSorry
Paul Dostal - I remember watching it at the time, but I haven’t watched it since then. It’s on my list of shows to watch and relive.
Muhammad Rasheed - You must be from Detroit.
Muhammad Rasheed - From my exact house.
Paul Dostal - The closest I have been to Detroit was Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. Otherwise nope.
Muhammad Rasheed - Coincidently, there's a [sociopathic] Canadian around here who keeps falsely accusing me of implying that all the shows I've named were exclusive to Detroit.
Now I'm in Petty Mode.
Ashanti Ghania - It was on at 11am on CBS in my neck of the woods.
Muhammad Rasheed - Nah.
Ashanti Ghania - Yes, it was. It was initially a video game, then a cartoon. The station was either CBS or NBC because the ABC Weekend Special had the 10:30 am-12:00pm slots on Saturday mornings.
Muhammad Rasheed - Ma'am, if you want to stay in this group, you're going to have to stop with all the lies. Thanks.
Ashanti Ghania - Huh? How are my statements lies? If I still had the 400+ VHS tapes I’ve been recording my cartoons on I would prove it to you.Nevermind, my memory is enough for me.
Evan Meadow - @Muhammad... Considering I watched it Sat Mornings on CBS AND there are ads promoting it in comics, you are most definitely mistaken.
It was later syndicated on USA Cartoon Express so maybe that’s how you saw it on Sundays.
Muhammad Rasheed - @Evan... The ads were only in local Detroit comic books. Obviously.
Muhammad Rasheed - Plus, my family didn't have cable tv in those days.
Muhammad Rasheed - It was the 'crack era' though. That's clearly why you two remember seeing a show you actually didn't see. 🤔

Q: What is the best superpower to have?
Jim Christmas - I haven't seen this answer yet, so…

Doesn't look like much does he?
This is “The Mule," a mutant from Issac Asimov's Foundation series. The Mule ruined a very detailed plan for the future with his unanticipated power.
His power was the ability to influence… uh… strongly. He couldn't read minds, but he had a sense of the thoughts around him, and he could make adjustments. By playing with the internal control knobs of your psyche, he could cause you to live in mortal terror of the person you love the most. He could make you work non-stop until you died, on whatever he deemed worthy. He could tweak minds in such a way that his staunchest enemies would become his most loyal followers. These people would know that they'd been altered, but they wouldn't care. They would follow the Mule's wishes for the remainder of their lives.
He could make you so desperately unhappy that you would die from it. He could give glimpses of rapturous pleasure so intense that you’d do anything just for a second look.
His power has no outward clues. To watch him would be to see nothing at all happen, except that those he focused his mind on for just a moment would forever spin in a new direction.
Muhammad Rasheed - So, if there are no humans around, he doesn’t have any powers.
Fail.
Jim Christmas - And if there's no metal, Magneto has no powers.
No atmosphere, Storm has no powers.
No people, Xavier had no powers.
No yellow sun, superman had no powers…
Etc.
Muhammad Rasheed - “What is the best superpower to have?”
Jim wrote: “His power was the ability to influence”
The ability to influence other human beings isn’t the best power because it is hinged upon other humans being around.
Jim wrote: “And if there's no metal, Magneto has no powers.”
Earth is full of metal. There’s metal everywhere. #FalseEquivalency
Jim wrote: “No atmosphere, Storm has no powers.”
If there was no atmosphere, all humans would die and the earth would be barren. #FalseEquivalency
Jim wrote: “No people, Xavier had no powers.”
Agreed. Telepathy isn’t the best power either for the same reason this ‘Mule’ guy doesn’t have the best power. Perhaps only a Dutch enslaver descended from the VOC crew would think manipulation of other people is the “best power.”
Jim wrote: “No yellow sun, superman had no powers…”
If there were no sun, earth would die. #FalseEquivalency
Jim Christmas - So you want only superpowers that work in the absence of other humans, but you do require a yellow star even though Kal-El's home planet didn't have one (so not a super power while back at home), and you don't care that Magneto was imprisoned by distancing him from all metals…
All seems rather arbitrary to me. What's your pick?
Muhammad Rasheed - Jim wrote: “So you want only superpowers that work in the absence of other humans”
lol No. I love the wide variety of power ranges. That’s genuinely cool. What we’re evaluating here is the BEST super power to have. Your decision to interpret my critique as meaning I personally wish there to only be a limited type of power in all fiction counts as the #StrawmanEffigy fallacy.
Jim wrote: “but you do require a yellow star even though Kal-El's home planet didn't have one (so not a super power while back at home)”
Very true. The Kryptonian is only powered up in very specific circumstances, similar to the “X-Gene” mutants of Marvel Comics.
Jim wrote: “and you don't care that Magneto was imprisoned by distancing him from all metals…”
Regular humans being able to take advantage of Magneto’s inherent weakness does count towards disqualifying “master of magnetism” as the best super power to have. I just pushed back on your precise verbiage (“if there’s no metal”) which seemed unreasonable, considering we live on metal-plentiful earth.
Jim wrote: “All seems rather arbitrary to me.”
I readily agree that any genre discussion that evaluates what’s the best [fill-in-the-blank] will have a great deal of subjectivity attached. Despite the snippiness of my writing voice, please understand that my critique was not provided in a spirit of meanness, but only in the routine, fellow fanboy debate challenge.
Jim wrote: “What's your pick?”
Stand by...
Muhammad Rasheed - The best power to have is to be a living battery for a vast, unlimited energy source, to use to grant yourself various additional abilities & enhancements at will.

The best mainstream comic book example of this power is possessed by the two characters shown in my Marvel Comics cover example above:The Runner of the UniverseThe Silver SurferBoth the Runner and the Surfer are examples of living batteries for the ‘Power Primordial’ and the ‘Power Cosmic’ respectively. They have both trained themselves (the Silver Surfer’s power usage is more inherently instinctual) to use their energy sources for a wide variety of effects, to include super-strength enhancement, super-speed, interstellar flight, energy manipulation & projection, regeneration, immortality, matter manipulation, psionic powers, etc.
The best possible source for this type of power would come from learning, as opposed to it being granted to the character by generic, in story-verse fate, or the fickle whims of a desperate Cosmic Being. This way no one would be able to arbitrarily take your powers away from you since they would be based on what you know (unless you were somehow lobotomized by a far more powerful being). An example of a character learning how to give himself such power is best demonstrated in the short story Green Magic by Jack Vance.

Surely superpowers only exist because there are other people around. In the absence of other people there is no frame of reference for what makes powers super.
Ultimately, the question is subjective. For a person who struggles with self image, the Mule’s power might seem awesome. For me, it’s terrible.
Muhammad Rasheed - There’s a wide spectrum of different types/levels of superpowers. The weakest ones are hinged upon whether other people are around or not. The best ones determine your personal levels of comfort & security up to and including immortality and planet-destroying offensives.
Olumide Maborukoje - That’s opinion.
I respect that opinion, but I disagree with it. As I said, the question is subjective.
As an individual, the comfort of the people I surround myself by is a big factor in my personal comfort and security.
For instance, you speak of immortality. As a person who values community and friendship, immortality would very quickly become a burden for me.
Muhammad Rasheed - Olumide wrote: “That’s opinion.”
lol There’s an estimated 300 million users sharing their opinions on Quora world wide, yet my posts are especially singled out as extra-opinionated for some reason. If you didn’t want to have a reasonable, civil discussion, why respond to my post?
Olumide wrote: “I respect that opinion, but I disagree with it.”
Okay.
Olumide wrote: “As I said, the question is subjective.”
Jim and I already discussed the subjective nature of sharing our genre trope opinions elsewhere in the thread. It is also my subjective opinion that continuously pointing out how our subjective opinions are subjective opinions can be quite tiresome.
Olumide wrote: “As an individual, the comfort of the people I surround myself by is a big factor in my personal comfort and security.”
Finally you got to your actual point. Thank God. lol
Olumide wrote: “For instance, you speak of immortality. As a person who values community and friendship, immortality would very quickly become a burden for me.”
As a committed practicing Abrahamic theist, I likewise would not enjoy the power of immortality in the material universe, as I actually look forward to the One God’s offer of Eternal Bliss. I get it. On an individual level, not all of the superpowers on the spectrum—even the higher level ones—would be equally appealing to every personality. I never made the claim that they were, but I’ll admit it is fun to tease people who gush over powers I personally find lame (like Jim’s goofy Mule fandom).
Olumide Maborukoje - The last sentence of your response answers my initial question.
Your initial response to Jim seemed dismissive, and I was trying to understand.
All in all, thank you for an interesting few minutes.
Muhammad Rasheed - Peace.

BuyIndieComics.com Interviews M. Rasheed (2012)

Cosmic Mutiny
by Andre Owens
This interview was published on the defunct site BuyIndieComics.com in 2012.
“A Monstrous Interview with Cartoonist M. Rasheed.”
***********************
Red Skew (Andre Owns) - First question, who are you and where are you from?MRasheed - I am Muhammad Rasheed, a cartoonist originally from Detroit, Michigan now living in Raleigh, North Carolina. I sign my work "M. Rasheed" and use that when I deal with the public.
I publish cartoon books through my company Second Sight Graphix.
Monsters 101, the graphic novel series scheduled to end at 10-titles this year, is my flagship book.
Red Skew - When did you realize you wanted to be an artist?
MRasheed - When I was in my late teens. I had always drawn cartoons/illustrations, but for whatever reason, never really considered it something I would be able to do as a real life profession when I "grew up." My siblings and I were home-schooled during my high school years, and I got my GED at 18. I went to the local community college and art schools and saw the major for "Illustrator" and that was the very first time I thought, "Hey! I should be an artist!"

Red Skew - You went to the Joe Kubert School. Tell us a little bit about that experience?
MRasheed - Well, after I got my BFA in Illustration at the College of Creative Studies in Detroit, having had instructors that teased us with cartooning assignments (I considered it teasing), I applied for the Kubert School a few weeks after I graduated because I didn't feel like I learned what I really needed to get from my college experience. I had a few teachers who literally hated cartoons, and were contemptuous about my work and the style I was attempting to develop... it left a real bad taste in my mouth.
I figured I could reverse all of that negativity by attending an actual cartoon illustration school.
The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, Inc., functioned like a cartooning bootcamp. We had 10 classes per semester, two each work day, with assignments to do every single day. You had to really be on your game to stay caught up and not get left behind and forced to drop out/fail. It was very intense.
It also felt very much like coming home. lol I had spent my entire 20+ years of life preparing for just such an environment.

All my teachers were working cartoonists in the field, from old school Silver Age veterans of comic book illustration, to a Disney studio artist on hiatus from his Blockbuster Film work; it was a great experience for an aspiring cartoonist. And they taught us every aspect of cartooning relevant at the time.
They also turned us into drawing machines. Kubert school attendees are famous for getting work done.
Red Skew - After you graduated from the Kubert School, what was your next steps toward developing Second Sight Graphix?
MRasheed - Oh, I didn't develop Second Sight Graphix right away. Even though I had spent my childhood and teens creating my own books under my own li'l kid publishing company, the college experience pushed that entrepreneurial spirit away from my conscious mind, and when I got out of school I felt I should submit portfolios to companies so I could work for them... the way I'd been taught.
So I did commercial art for local companies and "worked on my portfolio." For years. It wasn't until I was well into the first 14 chapters of Monsters 101 did I seriously consider the idea of my own company.
Until then I was just doing contract work until I could get a "good job."
Red Skew - Did you ever want to work for the Big Companies?
MRasheed - Sure, because that was the Holy Grail back in school. That's what we were all supposed to want as a career end-goal. So I ate that up, too. Absolutely.
And then I got over it. lol
Once I held in my hands my own published book—my masterwork—and began to resent the idea of using up all my time to work on someone else's properties, or worse, give over creative control of my masterwork to some publisher, my boyhood entrepreneurial spirit began to resurface.
Red Skew - I've heard that tale before, so how long did it take you to realize that the Big Guys weren't for you and you wanted to do it your own way?
MRasheed - lol About 14 chapters. lol
Red Skew - Too funny.
MRasheed - It took a couple of years for the complete switch in mentally to take.
Red Skew - You say that you had all 14 chapters on Monsters 101 plotted out, when did you decide to go ahead and self publish?
MRasheed - No, I had the first 14 chapters completed. Inked on bristol board. Books One & Two, and the first two chapters of Book Three.
My decision to self-publish was only about a year old when I met you. (Note: MRasheed and I met on the online forum BlackSuperhero.com ~ RS)
Nah, more like a little over two years. Yes.
Red Skew - Wow, you are prolific. Did you always intend to self publish or were you looking for someone to publish?
MRasheed - I started off trying to get one of the creator-friendly publishers to do it for me... Dark Horse, Top Shelf, etc. But they all said that they thought it was very good, but not what they were looking for. Then I got married, moved to NC, and decided to do it myself.
Red Skew - We've been talking about Monsters 101, give us a little background on the series. What's it all about?
MRasheed - Monsters 101 is an action-adventure series, with elements of classic horror and fantasy, featuring the tale of a former school bully turned monster and his partner, his former favorite nerd victim turned sorcerer. The tale is told in ten 150 page graphic novels, with the point of the series to transform a bully and a nerd into responsible heroes. Along the way they encounter child-eating monsters, ferocious super beings, demonic spirits, alien races, and all kinds of other stuff designed to challenge them and make the tale as exciting as I can.

Red Skew - What I find exciting about your work is that you're a one man army who creates every aspect of Monsters 101, from creating to writing to drawing to publishing. What are your general thoughts on indie publishing?
MRasheed - I think the aspect that I like the most about it is that it does tend to reflect the purest beauty of cartooning, which to me is the one-man-show aspect. That's how I began all of this as a child, after-all. That's what appeals to me... it's just me, my pen-n-ink, my paper, and my imagination.
The independent publishing movement as a whole is pretty vast to me. I've been studying aspects of it at a time over the years and always find something different and interesting to try out almost every month.
I only recently discovered Dave Sim, and started reading the background on all of that history of comic book self-publishing. At first I thought Jeff Smith of Bone fame was the king, as an example.
Red Skew - As a Black creator/cartoonist, have you had any difficulty in the indie comic scene?
MRasheed - lol No. All of my difficulties have involved trying to juggle my solitary cartooning lifestyle with being a new husband and father. The side effect was making me not as prolific as I was used to being. This is the year I finally figured it all out. Now I get to really create some difficulties in the indie scene. hahahaha I'm looking forward to it.
Red Skew - Is there any advice that you could give to other creators looking to self publish?
MRasheed - I would tell them to get a body of work behind them as soon as possible. It definitely helped me with the credibility aspect out the gate, even though I wasn't a ''name" yet. And that sort of thing is vital in the direct market as well; retailers NEED to know that you can produce, and get books to them when you say you will, before they will give you any money. So setting up some kind of regular art production schedule where you can reliably put finished pages behind you, is the difference between making it and being shamed off the playing field.
Red Skew - Sound advice. Lastly, where can fans find Monsters 101 and/or contact you?
MRasheed - They can do both on my website at www.mrasheed.com.
Red Skew - Well, thanks for your time and an interesting interview.
MRasheed - Thank you for a very good interview! I now forgive you for scaring me earlier. :P
