Thalia M LeBlanc (@thaliamleblanc) - I feel defeated as an Afrolatina during BlackHistoryMonth I already had someone tell me it’s exclusively for African Americans… and I told them so what do I do? im American, I was born here, I just happen to speak Spanish. So I’m genuinely inquiring… what does it take to be accepted in? Or should should I just leave this alone and stfu about being black.. but then that looks like me denocuning my blackness which I would NEVER. So confusing I HATE IT.
Muhammad Rasheed - "National Hispanic Heritage Month is annually celebrated from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States."
#SolvedIt
Thalia M LeBlanc - What are you saying with this? that I should only celebrate being Hispanic and not ever celebrate my blackness?
Muhammad Rasheed - Your "blackness" is a fiction. Your lineage & heritage is Latina/Hispanic and you have a whole month for it to not be confused it while to draw attention away from the Black American ethnic group's month with this whining.
Grow up.
Thalia M LeBlanc - Learn what RACE is and what ethnicity is. Being Hispanic just means you speak Spanish…look down this entire thread and you’ll see YOU are wrong. EDUCATE YOURSELF and YOU grow up!
Muhammad Rasheed - Black History Month isn't about shallow 'race,' it's about recognizing the contributions of the Black American former slave class ethnic group to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.
It's not about the immigrants. You all have your own observance day months. GO FIND YOURS, Ms. Confused.
Muhammad Rasheed - It doesn't even make sense to create a whole national observance month based only on shallow melanin. The effort is a hateful attempt of erasure of the Black American as a specific ethnic group -- we're the only group in the world who traditionally used "Black" as our ethnic designation and you immigrants are grifting it for political clout by pretending the term is only about race the way it's used in your home nations.
SHAME ON YOU. >:(
Thalia M LeBlanc - I was born here I’m not an immigrant.
Muhammad Rasheed - Then you are immigrant-tied, and my point is the exact same. The Black American is the only ethnic group whose family didn't come to the USA "looking for a better life."
That's immigrant talk, not "Black" talk. Go find your own month and stop being a parasite grifter. >:(
Thalia M LeBlanc - Fight with your fellow black brothers and sisters that are the majority under this post going against what YOU are saying
Muhammad Rasheed - Your logical fallacy is: "Appeal to the People" (argumentum ad populum).The Appeal to the People fallacy is a fallacious argument based on claiming a truth or affirming something is good because many people think so.
Khalima Alicia Thompson (@dr.kima.alicia) - That is not at all true. Carter G. Woodson, who founded BHM specifically said that it was to celebrate “Negroes in History” not Negro history. Considering the contributions of Arturo Schonburg who was pivotal during the Harlem Renaissance and Joan Baez who was instrumental in the civil rights movement Afrolatiné have always been noted contributors to Black History. Your ignorance is showing boo boo.
Muhammad Rasheed - According to his own 1915 book, The Education Of The Negro Prior To 1861, Woodson defined "Negro" as the Black American ethnic group specifically, not any & all melanated people who happened to look roughly in the direction of the Americas. Numerous xenophobic, political grifting organizations usurped Woodson's mission to transform his work into a pro-immigrant scam to erase the Black American ethnic group and our unique history to give it to others, on behalf of white supremacy. This is evil.
Khalima Alicia Thompson - Again that’s ignorant. He envisioned the study and celebration of the Negro as a race, race is all about outward appearance and in terms of Blackness, African ancestry. He did not believe in separation based on country of origin. In his book, The Miseducation of the Negro he said: I don’t understand why they would devote all this time to Europe, descendants of Europe, and not give equal time to the origins of Africans.” He didn’t say, as it only pertains to Africans in the US.
Muhammad Rasheed - You're trying to impose my political rival's self-serving schemes on me, and then call me "ignorant" when I reasonably protest the blatant xenophobic abuse.
Before the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act was signed, all references to "Black" in the USA, referred to my former slave class ethnic group alone. Once the waves of "POC/BIPOC" immigrants started arriving after the 1980s, then foreign grifters started using "Black" as an ID fraud based, immigrant come up at my group's expense.
Muhammad Rasheed - Woodson was interested in a deep study of the greater history of 'African descendants,' but that doesn't mean that he would agree with the current white supremacist-supported scheme of erasing & replacing the history of the American Descendants of Slavery ethnic group with fabricated immigrant historical retcons.
Khalima Alicia Thompson - Sweetheart you are using race, a term and concept created by white supremacists to segregate and harm our communities while telling me that a certain definition of Blackness is all that is defined by white supremacists? Please just stop.
Muhammad Rasheed - No, I'm not. I'm protesting a political grift scheme that is attempting to destroy the history of the Black American group, replace it with a shallow race/melanin ideology that enables foreign melanated people to cosplay as Black Americans for fraud-based economic elevation. White supremacists first weaponized immigration against the newly-freed slaves during Reconstruction, and your gas lighting position represents the latest phase in the diabolical, centuries old long-con.
Shame on you.
Khalima Alicia Thompson - Wow dude. Your desire to segregate people of the African diaspora is pretty sick and sad. Black was a term created by racists with malicious intent and your clear sad need to exclude folks and gatekeep is not what is needed. Signed someone who actually studied Black history and isn’t just in needing of stomping on others to feel good about themselves.
Muhammad Rasheed - Only the American Descendants of Slavery ethnic group is being bullied into giving up our rich cultural heritage to allow others to ravage & divide it among themselves, as if they are entitled to our accomplishments. All other ethnic groups in the diaspora proudly represent their unique heritages. When ADOS does it, we are falsely accused of desiring to segregate the diaspora (whatever THAT means).
Your handlers are racist, white liberal communists. I don't care about your paper credentials.
Muhammad Rasheed - Angela Davis Autobiography
“We would pretend to be foreigners and, speaking French to each other”

“At the sight of two young Black women speaking a foreign language, the clerks in the store raced to help us”

“We were invited to take seats in the front of the Jim Crow shop”
U.S. race relations turned out not to be about "race" after-all. It was always xenophobia against the American Descendants of Slavery specifically. Immigrants have always been on the side of white supremacy against us.

So, get involved and make sure you join us in advocating today. #nonprofits #advocacy #civilrights  joinADOS.com
✨Boujee&Ghetto✨ (@shanaydree) - I’m ADOS, of course our fathers have been systematically exterminated, and then we’re berated for having fatherless homes.
Nik #ADOS 🇺🇸 (@nikcaige) - I'm ADOS, of course, my great-grandparents were redlined and prevented from accessing The New Deal.
Et Videbo Justitiam (Andy)🇺🇸 (@DiazAndytwelve1) - I’m ADOS, of course, my great grandparents were denied adequate healthcare and other social services.
JAMES A. VAUGHAN/ HOST: THE BLAQ PERSPECTIVE (@VAU68AN) I'm ADOS🇺🇲, of course. My uncles who've served in WW2 (grandmother's brothers) when they returned in uniform to Crockett, TN they were chased out & threatened to be lynched. They fled with their families and have resided in Detroit, Michigan, ever since.
Muhammad Rasheed - I'm ADOS, so of course I'm mocked with "low IQ" and criminality slurs, because the education and justice systems were deliberately rigged to keep my people in an exploitable condition.
C.EkongJr 🇺🇸 (@CEkongjr) - I'm ADOS, of course, my great-grandparents were traumatized by public lynchings, and at the same time live with Jim Crow Laws.
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - Lie to me and tell me Detroit would look like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcTYJ...) if they kept segregation. Look at what you violent savages do to places you could never build!
Muhammad Rasheed - @Noah... Your mind is so twisted, you are incapable of recognizing facts when you see them. You've long been in the habit of kneejerk flinching away from Truth in a sociopathic rage and there's no good in you.
C.EkongJr 🇺🇸 (@CEkongjr) - @Muhammad... Dude is desperately in need of attention, in any form at this point. 
He's definitely not worth a response, shoo TROLL don't bother me.
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - Jim Crow was “shoo, troll.”
Muhammad Rasheed - Our political efforts abolished legal jim crow segregation, remember? Obviously, your "shooing" didn't work now, innit?
Is this "shoo, troll" trolling you're doing some kind of pathetic coping mechanism? hahaha awwww...
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - You can’t even compose cogent sentences in my language, low-IQ feral, after trillions of white tax dollars on the failed gamble that you could! 
Do this: spend “Gibsmedat Month” finding which of those “two or three” is your real father!


Muhammad Rasheed - There's no such thing as "white tax dollars," since you spend every waking moment trying to grift your way out of paying taxes. B*tchin' about taxes is a tenet of your hoarding, unwashed, pagan religion.  
I guess this "Sanchez" goon is the one who put this  meme together, huh?
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - Yeah. We built both sides of separate but equal but your mongrel beasts destroyed the your “separate.” 
Look at your feral children today!
Did you know that 1 of every 10 school shootings in America is at an HBCU, also something none of you built.
Muhammad Rasheed - As I recall, the 1954 Brown v Board of Edu SCOTUS ruled that "separate but equal" was yet more nonsense you pulled out of your crusty rectum. 
And please stop pretending to quote stats at me as if anyone in their right mind would ever believe you were taught to tell the truth.
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - Whole cities no one who looks like you built, destroyed by your welfare-scheming mammie and one of possibly four felonious fathers, who ignored you from prison, even with nothing else to do. 
You got a month coming up! This is your feral history.

Did you know that 1 of every 10 school shootings in America is at an HBCU, also something none of you built.
Muhammad Rasheed - lol I literally built the USA's cities, bud. The raggedy & Über-lazy poor whites only pretended to want that work so they could have an excuse to b*tch & complain some more, which appears to be your core skillset. 
Your higher-caste race mates said that you were always uncouth & raggedy.

C.EkongJr 🇺🇸 (@CEkongjr) - Right THERE, spot on.
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - We tried to shoo you violent savages away from what we built! 
Why are you all so goddamned feral and violent in places no one who looks like you built?
Why, feral booga boy?
Muhammad Rasheed - That you built? 🤨
During a free slave labor economy? lol No one wanted your sh*tty "labor" with your lazy #CrackerCulture work ethic. What new fantasy is this you're supposed to be conjuring? lol
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - A fact is a thing in itself, stupid. That’s Kant! 
No one who looks like you built anything on this continent but you’ve destroyed whole cities other people built and don’t understand that because you’re stupid savages with subhuman IQs.
Muhammad Rasheed - lol Meanwhile, I literally built everything in this country (what monopolist wasn't taking advantage of free slave labor?), and no one was more resentful of the highly-skilled force of the free Black American ADOS than the poor white bottom feeder of society. Seethe more.
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - You’re the black pot calling the black kettle black on that sociopath stuff. 
You stupid savages steal more cars in a month than you’ve ever built and commit 4 of 5 mass shootings in a country none of you built.
Muhammad Rasheed - lol Noooo, you have us confused with all of these unassimilated and uncouth "POC" immigrants you've brought over to sabotage my sacred freedom struggle. 
Shame on you. You can't even follow your own stupid script.
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - This is the NYC skyline, low-IQ savage: find me one building your feral ancestors built. 

I don’t see black. 
Why do you ugly subhumans try to lie in a language you can barely speak or understand and think it’s working?
Muhammad Rasheed - lol I literally built them all. All you have are posed marketing materials pretending to be some other thing. Why would I care about what you claim out of the side of your neck? 
You know that I know you better than that. lol
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - Point to one and identify it, stupid booga. Show me which one. 
You look like every homicide suspect and that you’re as allergic to work boots as Dracula to a cross. 
Which building? Name one.
Muhammad Rasheed - ALL
Every single one, even the one your dad lived in. ALLLL.
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - Ooga booga!
Muhammad Rasheed - Ironic, considering your higher-caste race mates instructed you to completely sever any cultural ties my ancestors had with Africa. I'm now more American than you will ever be, since it's literally all I know. "Ooga booga" is more likely to trigger your "POC" immigrant buddies.
Noah Bodze (@NoahBodze) - You know I know you’re just another month away from recidivism, like you’re entire family, yeah? 
You know I know you’re violent and stupid in places no one who looks like you built because you’re paralyzed at the thought of all those buildings and you won’t find one!
Muhammad Rasheed - I think you need to learn how to read the room better. I am not who you think I am. I see straight through you and I'm unmoved by your weak attempts to pretend the carefully, socially engineered effects of your group's savagery actually belong to me. 
Get your game up.

Shema Israel - The god of the quran will live forty years in the earth and then die according to Islam. I can't make this stuff up folks 😬


Muhammad Rasheed - Shema wrote: "The god of the quran will live forty years"
It says Jesus (pbuh) will live forty years and then die, not God. Are y'all blind or just illiterate?
Shema Israel - No it doesn't say Jesus will live forty years. There is a period, and then the following starts talking about the god of the quran, the antichrist, and then it goes into say Al-lah will live in the earth for forty years and then die 🤣😬
Muhammad Rasheed - Shema wrote: "No it doesn't say Jesus will live forty years"
lol Of course it does. The entire context of the hadith is:
1.) Jesus will descend to earth2.) His physical description3.) Description of what he will do4.) Mention of Allah enacting His will through the above described actions of His servant Jesus' return5.) Then Jesus will live out his second lifetime6.) Jesus will die7.) The Muslims will pray over him
I think the Jewish and Christian books are so mussed up, jumbled & corrupted, that you all no longer know how to read normally without connecting stuff that shouldn't be connected. I suggest you repent and convert to Islam so you'll repair your mind.
Ruthy de la Luz - @Muhammad... ok, i go with you.
But still your Islamic scolars are messing Islam themselves up.
1. Where did Mohammed get to know how Jesus looks like, if they never met and he wasn't even in the picture for 623yrs ? Even in the Bible there's no description of how he looked like.
2. How come that Jesus will live on earth for 40yrs and than die and the Muslims will pray over him..., does not Bukhari say that he will descent amongst us and judge the world?
(Sahih Bukhari 4:55:657) says, “… surely (Jesus), the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind."
So, what is it now?
Who will judge over him, if he's just a mere man and Prophet that will die after 40yrs?
Will he die first and judge the world, or the other way around?
Will he resurrect after dying and than judge the world?
3. Why should he FIGHT the people for the cause of Islam, when the message and teachings of Jesus NEVER was Islam nor FIGHTING in the first place?
4. He will break the cross, kill swine and abolish jizyah... Jesus will do all that, but is it not established by Allah? Why would he now come and abolish it?
Is it because its evil?
And what on earth did the swine(s) do to him to be killed? 😂
The Hadiths itself are contradicting, confusing, stupid, senseless and irritating! Regardless if its a Sahih Hadith or Daif... it is your Islamic sources written by your Islamic scolars.
Muhammad Rasheed - Ruthy wrote: "ok, i go with you."
I'm married.
Ruthy wrote: "But still your Islamic scolars are messing Islam themselves up."
The actual problem is that you don't study Islam so you'll actually understand, and you remain confused on the outside of the material.
Ruthy wrote: "1. Where did Mohammed get to know how Jesus looks like, if they never met and he wasn't even in the picture for 623yrs ?"
The prophets of God were blessed with second sight and were allowed glimpses into the unseen to make prophecies and gain insights to aid in their special mission. The miracles they were allowed to perform with God's permission are well-known. The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) actually got to meet some of the other prophets in a famous spirit vision-journey, and in one Qur'anic verse, it even hints that Allah had the archangel show the prophet different scenes in the past while the revelation was coming to him.
Ruthy wrote: "Even in the Bible there's no description of how he looked like."
Why would that be a surprise? The New Testament was compromised anyway.
Ruthy wrote: "2. How come that Jesus will live on earth for 40yrs and than die"
In the Qur'an, God says that Jesus (pbuh) will be one of the signs of the coming of the Day of Judgment. The idea that Jesus' second coming will involve him actually getting to fulfill his role of 'King of Israel' that his own people rejected, as well as live out his earthly lifetime, is what these hadith are supposed to represent.
Ruthy wrote: "and the Muslims will pray over him..."
Why wouldn't the Muslim followers in the Christ's endtimes kingdom pray over their beloved leader when he passes away?
Ruthy wrote: "does not Bukhari say that he will descent amongst us and judge the world?"
If you're talking about the actual Day of Judgment, then no. The prophets aren't the Judge, only God is the Judge. If Jesus comes back to actually rule on earth in his long overdue role of King of Israel, then his judging will be on the level of David (pbuh) and Solomon (pbuh) as an earthly king only.
Ruthy wrote: "3. Why should he FIGHT the people for the cause of Islam, when the message and teachings of Jesus NEVER was Islam nor FIGHTING in the first place?"
In the early days of Islam, when the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was still in Mecca, the status of his mission was the same as that of Jesus' mission and he hadn't enough followers to be in a kingly role. After the Hijrah to Medina, then Muhammad had attained the level of a fully-realized Prophet-King of the One God and was now like Moses (pbuh). The Christ would have also had a chance to reach that level if his people hadn't rejected him, so he's returning both to fulfil his prophethood-ruler mission and live out the rest of his earthly lifespan.
Ruthy wrote: "4. He will break the cross"
The Pauline-influenced councils of Constantine usurped Jesus' true message and transformed it into the trinitarian paganism we know today, so of course King Jesus would wreck that blasphemy.
Ruthy wrote: "kill swine [...] And what on earth did the swine(s) do to him to be killed? 😂"
I'm sure it's just the for-profit swine distribution industry he will "flip the tables" on and kill, not the poor animals themselves. lol Killing innocent animals during battle isn't part of the Islamic rules for war.
Ruthy wrote: "and abolish jizyah..."
When Jesus returns, he'll DEFINITELY and unambiguously be Muslim, so the Jews and Christians who recognize him will absolutely revert to Al-Islam. Naturally, they won't have to pay the jizya anymore since they will be Muslims, too. Any foolish Jews & Christians who stubbornly refuse to let go of their corrupt nonsense will face the invincible sword of King Jesus and the unrepentant slain certainly won't need to pay the jizya tax either, will they?
Ruthy wrote: "Jesus will do all that"
Insha'Allah.
Ruthy wrote: "but is it not established by Allah?"
What? Who else would establish all of this? Why are you confused? Allah is the One you call "The Father" — the Only True God — who directs the Prophet-King Jesus (pbuh) as He so Wills.
Ruthy wrote: "Why would he now come and abolish it?"
Because we operate on God's timing, not the other way around. Jesus didn't even know the hour of his return, right? So, we're all waiting on God's Signal. Why do people who are supposed to believe in God always asking when God is going to do something or another, as if He's not the One in charge? How spiritually immature the People of the Book are!
Ruthy wrote: "Is it because its evil?"
Some of it is evil (like this ridiculous 'cross' business) while other items just outlive their natural usefulness after a time.
Ruthy wrote: "The Hadiths itself are contradicting, confusing, stupid, senseless and irritating!"
You lack patience, and you just don't know enough. I suggest diligent study to repair your deficiency.
Daniel Seun - @Muhammad... please tell me, which Jesus are you referring to???

Muhammad Rasheed - @Daniel... The left-hand side of your meme isn't accurate. Insider New Testament (NT) scholarship reveals that the book isn't an eyewitness account of the events of Jesus' life at all. In fact, the entire bible is a fabricated document written by anonymous authors to push various evangelical agendas often at odds with the original message of Jesus and the prophethood message.

Only the Qur'an version of the Christ Jesus is real. You may toss the rest, or shelve it as quaint historical curio. Based on your own scholars' findings, just the idea that the NT is an eyewitness account of Jesus' life is laughable foolishness.
Daniel Seun - @Muhammad...


Daniel Seun - @Muhammad... what about this, was your prophet among the prophethood????


Muhammad Rasheed - Daniel posted: "The Quran says Allah does not know the name of..."
That's not what the Qur'an says. Do you have any real arguments, or is this juvenile game playing only as far as you can go?


Muhammad Rasheed - Daniel wrote: "was your prophet among the prophethood"
lol Of course. God confirms that he was indeed the last of His anointed prophet-messengers.
Daniel Seun - @Muhammad... Mohammed was not a true prophet. And I say that because, you see, the true prophet must receive a direct call from God, especially if he will be the founder of a religion. Mohammed didn't receive a direct call from God.Read more....[sic]Mohammed Was Muhammad a true prophet?Was Muhammad a true prophet?
Mohammed was not a true prophet. And I say that because, you see, the true prophet must receive a direct call from God, especially if he will be the founder of a religion. Mohammed is the founder of Islam. Moses received a direct call from God. Mohammed didn't receive a direct call from God. The story is very interesting. He was in the cave of Hira, outside of Mecca, and there, a spirit appeared to Mohammed. And then, the spirit squeezed Mohammed very tightly, that he thought that he was going to die. And the spirit said to Mohammed, "Read." Mohammed was illiterate, he could not read. And he said, "I cannot read." Then the spirit squeezed him more tightly that he thought he was going to die. And the spirit said to him, "Read!" "I cannot read," Mohammed answered. Then the spirit squeezed him more tightly. He was afraid that he was going to die. And he said, "Read!" He said, "What shall I read?" The words should be recited because he could not read. How could you command someone who doesn't know how to read, read? You say to him, "Recite!" And then he said, "What shall I read?" And he said, "Read, in the name of thy Lord, who created man from the clot," etc, etc. So the Quran is not the invention of Mohammed. The Quran was given to him by that spirit who appeared to him at the cave of Hira. The Muslims say, that the spirit was Gabriel the angel. They say the angel Gabriel is the spirit who appeared to Mohammed at the cave of Hira , and he squeezed him tightly.
But listen, when you go the Bible, Gabriel appeared to many people. Gabriel appeared to Daniel, and Daniel was scared. And he said, "Do not be afraid, Daniel." Then he appeared Zecharia, the father of John the Baptist. And he was afraid, and Gabriel said, "Do not be afraid, do not be afraid." Then he appeared to Mary. And Mary was troubled, and Gabriel said, "Do not be afraid." But that spirit who met Mohammed and squeezed him, left him very troubled. He was scared to death. And when he went back to his wife Khadigah, he said, "I am scared, I am scared! I am trembling?" She said, "What?" He said, "I don't know, I don't know. I am afraid that I am possessed." Then she took him to a bishop in Mecca, by the name of Waraka Bin Nawfal, who was her cousin, and she told him about what happened. And this Waraka, the bishop of the Amunit cult in Mecca said to her, "Oh, be quiet. Be quiet. Mohammed will be the prophet of the Arabs."
So the one who declared Mohammed a prophet was the bishop of Mecca. And that is the historical fact. So the Quran is not the invention of Mohammed. It was dictated to him by that spirit. And I want to tell you something, it's not a miracle, because any book would not be a miracle. Any book, you know, Homer wrote the Iliad, and Odyssey, it's not a miracle. Shakespeare wrote many books, it's not a miracle. Plato wrote many books, not a miracle. The books cannot be a miracle because if I cannot understand the language, I cannot confirm if it's a miracle or not. The miracle is to raise somebody, to heal somebody, to give the sight to somebody, these are miracles! But to tell me that a book is a miracle, I don't buy that!
Exodus: 3:2-6

References:The Bible: Exodus: 3:2-62 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
The Bible: Daniel 8:15-1915 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
Daniel Seun - @Muhammad... which God says that Muhammad is the last prophet???
Muhammad Rasheed - There's only One God.
Muhammad Rasheed - Daniel wrote: "Mohammed was not a true prophet."
God confirmed he was, so...
Daniel wrote: "And I say that because"
You prefer hellfire.
Muhammad Rasheed - Daniel wrote: "But listen, when you go the Bible"
Your own scholars admit your bible is a fabricated document. They can't even tell you who really wrote it, so why would anyone who is actually serious about Truth go to your bible for anything?
Be reasonable, please. The Qur'an will suffice.
Muhammad Rasheed - Daniel wrote: "And I want to tell you something, it's not a miracle, because any book would not be a miracle."
An illiterate man producing a book of literature that is so high-level, that the celebrated poets of his day were confused by it and declared it was "evident magic!"
That doesn't sound like a miracle to you, huh? lol You are dull-witted.
Muhammad Rasheed - The Qur'an confounded the master poets of Muhammad's day in the same way the transforming staff of Moses (pbuh) confounded the magicians of Pharaoh's court. Their reactions were the same.
Shema Israel - @Muhammad... those scholars know what the god of the quran know not 🤣
According to The quran god IT said IT sent Torah Gospel IN TRUTH and that none can change or alter IT words/decree
Thanks for admitting the god of the quran is pagan and useless 😬🤣
Muhammad Rasheed - Shema wrote: "and that none can change or alter IT words/decree"
None did, that's what the Qur'an is for. God's Word remains among humankind unaltered & preserved as He said. Why are you confused?
Shema Israel - if any word in Torah Gospel is changed or altered, it proves again that IT is a pagan god and is useless ..
Shema Israel - The quran is for the delusional. Islam is a sickness, you prove it everyday when you go against what that fantasy religion teaches. Islam is atheism disguised
Muhammad Rasheed - @Shema... Every Word that God revealed to the previous prophets is here intact within the Qur'an — which God calls a "fuller explanation of the Book of Moses."
The Qur'an confirms & fulfils the previous revelations and is whole. What's the problem? How are ye so deluded away from the Truth?
Muhammad Rasheed - Shema wrote: "The quran is for the delusional."
lol Is it? 😏
Shema wrote: "Islam is a sickness"
You don't say? Wow.
Shema wrote: "you prove it everyday when you go against what that fantasy religion teaches."
Oh, my! 🤭
Shema wrote: "Islam is atheism disguised"
Is that right? So, when the One God commands the faithful to eschew atheism and polytheism and worship the ONE GOD ALONE, that's actually very cleverly disguised atheism in action, you say?
You need to delete your ignorant account and go take a nap.
Shema Israel - 


Muhammad Rasheed - @Shema... God repeated what He said to His previous prophets in the Qur'an. The inerrant Word remains among us preserved within the Qur'an itself -- no one has changed it. You are acting confused for no reason.
Shema Israel - no bhe didn't, moslems stole from Torah Gospel, and started doing their own thing.
If any word in Torah Gospel is changed or altered, it proves again that the god of the quran is pagan and useless just like IT "Be"
Muhammad Rasheed - Shema wrote: "no bhe didn't"
lol Of course He did. That's what the Qur'an is.
Shema wrote: "moslems stole from Torah Gospel"
Foolishness. Your books are fabricated documents written by anonymous evangelicals that your people pretend is the Torah and Gospel preached by the prophets. Your own scholars admit to the fraud in the library of Christian literature. If Islam merely copied your corrupt book, then all that shamelessly ignorant Greco-Roman paganism you clowns are so enamored with would infest Islam, too, wouldn't it? Think, please. The Qur'an is blessedly free of your well-documented nonsense.
Shema wrote: "and started doing their own thing."
Islam returned the people to the religion of Abraham, the true in faith. The religion of the prophets that the Jews molested and the Christians reject.
Shema wrote: "If any word in Torah Gospel is changed or altered, it proves again that the god of the quran is pagan and useless just like IT 'Be'"
The Torah is the revelation God revealed to Moses. That work is long gone. The Jews failed in their guardianship. The Gospel of Jesus hasn't been heard since the last of the 12 disciples was slaughtered. The Christians forgot what Jesus preached during his lifetime and shamelessly accepted Constantine's Greco-Roman paganism as a replacement.
Now the Qur'an is here and it returns the original Word of God to humankind to guide us all aright. No one will change it because God said He would protect it Himself. Glory be to He!

Muhammad Rasheed - @Daniel...What does this list supposed to mean to me?
It looks like a hostile and biased non-Muslim put together a list that pretends to summarize some hadith and Qur'anic verses from a disbeliever's willfully ignorant twist.
Aren't you the same meme poster who pretended that the Qur'an 4:157 meant that Allah didn't know someone's name?
Muhammad Rasheed - All you have to do is read the verses and hadith in their context to see your list is just sloppy propaganda.
This is how you all always "argue" -- you just play childish games.
Boakai Bility - MUSLIMS God is for all creations. But CHRISTANS god are for special peoples. That while, you need another helper( holy spirit) to help you understand him 👍
Hermine Dürager - The hl.Spirit is God!!! But it's you who need a man as helper. Without Mohamed and his teaching of Quran and Sunnah you would not know Islam.
Muhammad Rasheed - Hermine wrote: "Without Mohamed and his teaching of Quran and Sunnah you would not know Islam"
lol Literally everything humans know about God came from the preaching of His prophets. That's their job, what they were anointed for in the first place. That's why Jesus (pbuh) told the people of his day that they had to come to him to get the Truth of the Lord thy God.
Of COURSE we need to go through Muhammad (pbuh) to get the Truth of God from the final revelation sent down. hahaha
Boakai Bility - @Muhammad... Nothing more than this to my brother 👍. Thank you so much for this wonderful clearafication🙏🙏🙏
Hermine Dürager - @Muhammad... Than please show me one other prophet who is not in contradiction with Mohamed! Otherwise your Mohamed is a false prophet, because God has promised, that his Word will never pass away. (Don't get corrupted).
Hermine Dürager - @Boakai... Do you have prove, that even one of the other Prophet are in confirmation with Mohamed? If not, Mohamed is a false prophet, because Gods revelation never passes away.
Muhammad Rasheed - Hermine wrote: "Than please show me one other prophet who is not in contradiction with Mohamed!"
All of the prophets of God — from Adam (pbuh) to Noah (pbuh) to Abraham (pbuh) to Moses (pbuh) to Jesus (pbuh) to Muhammad (pbuh) — were in agreement and submitted themselves to the Only True God that Jesus worshiped.
Muhammad Rasheed - Hermine wrote: "Gods revelation never passes away."
It hasn't. That's what the Qur'an is for. The Qur'an is the preserved and inerrant Word of God on earth, confirming & fulfilling what came before as well as correcting the errors conjured by the wayward Jews and Christians who were sloppy in their guardianship.
Hermine Dürager - Please show me this scriptures of the Prophets of Israel and Apostels of Jesus, who are in agreement with your Mohameds Quran and Sunnah! The only socalled prophet of Islam, who everyone killed, who critisiesed him and didn't fully obay without questioning. See for example Quran 9,5 and 29. What a false picture of the true God!💖
Hermine Dürager - That means, you call the God of the Prophets of Israel and Apostels of Jesus a Lier, who promised, that his Word will never pass away 💖.
Muhammad Rasheed - Hermine wrote: "who promised, that his Word will never pass away"
It didn't. That's literally what the Qur'an represents, the preservation of God's Word.
Hermine Dürager - Think please.
God has sent his prophets and in the end his promised Messiah Jesus to fulfill his revelation. And their scriptures are collected in one Book. But 600 years later a man from another offspring than Jews and another god of kaaba with stone (which was the anciant Idolcult of arabs) came along and preached the oposite of Jesus Christs Gospel! Who is more trustworthy??? One man, who has nothing to do with the God of Abraham Isaak and Israel but worship the highest Idol of Kaaba with stone? Or the revelation God has given to the Jews who brought forth the promised Messiah 💞 who can save people?
Muhammad Rasheed - Hermine wrote: "Think please"
lol This is ironic. Everything you only think you know about Al-Islam came from an anti-Islam propagandist hate website. 
Everything I know about your religion[s] comes from your own insider literature library and your own scholars admit the bible isn't what your deceitful and embarrassed pastors spoonfed to you gullible sheep-of-the-pews and led you to believe.

Nelo Maxwell - Review of Monsters 101, Book One

 

Monsters 101 :Vol 1 Review Or of Monsters and Me
Review by Nelo Maxwell | Monday, June 24, 2013 

Previously…

I don’t often review graphic novels, but I had seen Monsters 101 by M.Rasheed around for a while and my first inkling of the comic ‘All ages’ , a labeling I actively avoid.

But the more I saw it the more intrigued I became. So recently, I picked up a copy and was pleasantly surprised by what I found.

Situation

Willy Pugg is a bully. The milk money stealing, nerd tripping, rule breaking bully from every school in the country and every John Hughes movie of the 80's, and he's pretty proud of that fact. When we first see Willy who is known as ‘The Pugg' by his victims he's turning a girl upside down to get her money for the day. Willy seems to run the school like the warden at a prison and he is almost unstoppable when the teachers aren't around. However, someone is watching Willy, someone who even he is afraid of and will have to eventually answer to. Willy runs into these ‘people' on the outskirts of town in the form of three monsters that want him to bring them other kids to eat. Apparently, children are a delicacy where they come from and they need a supplier, in exchange, they will turn Willy into a monster. However, Willy isn't well liked and after being caught attacking a student is threatened with expulsion, if he attacks another. His attempts at being nice land him three friends; Jerome, a young foreign exchange student, Mort, his primary target in the school, and Katina a girl whom he inadvertently saves from another bully. These three interactions will shape his life for rest of the book and change the way Willy Pugg interacts with the world around him.

Story I will be honest when I started to read this book I wasn't expecting much. The idea of a comic book aimed a younger audiences never inspires confidence in me as they're sometimes campy and nonsensical, that being said this was the most emotionally jarring comic I have read since Gaiman's Sandman. Rasheed does a great job of making us hate this character in the onset, when he tries to be nice to people and they turn him down there is no question about why. Willy Pugg is one of the best villains I have seen in a comic in a long time simply because he is real. We all knew a Willy Pugg, some as his victims others as bystanders and some of those who have challenged him. This isn't your handsome jock, Flash Thompson bully, this is your emotionally damaged, broken home bully who in their heart just wants to be understood like everyone else. The character of Katina is that chance for him and probably the thing that saves his soul, and though their relationship cannot be described as a romance, there is true love at work, the kind that young children feel for each other and the kind that adults lose as they grow.

Pictures
I give props to anyone who writes and draws their own comics. M.Rasheed wrote and drew a 150 page graphic novel and while it can get a bit inconsistent towards the end, it’s more than understandable. His inks are crisp and the way he foreshadows the ending in Willy’s silhouettes is great. I’m surprised this isn’t run as comic strip in a news paper as it reminds me of classics like Gasoline Alley in some subtle ways, with simple facial structure that is also capable of conveying complex emotion.

The Real 
I loved this story, there were times when I felt a little unsettled by the sheer brutality of the main character, but it worked with the way the story played out. Willy Pugg was already a monster, but by the end, to keep a promise he must learn how to become a man, or at least a human boy. I'd recommend this for people of any age as it is not only a great read but an audit on our current society. With bullying on the rise in school as well as online I think something like this might serve as a tool for discussing the problem. You can pick this volume and others in the series up at www.mrasheed.com Rating 4/5

Brian Cronin - CBR Review of the Monsters 101 graphic novel series (Book Six omitted)

 

Monsters 101, Books 1-10
by Cartoonist M. Rasheed

The Month of African-American Comics – Monsters 101, Books 1-10
Review by Brian Cronin | February 22, 2014 @ 3:18 AM 

All this month I’ll be reviewing different comic books by African-American creators, based on submissions from the actual creators of the comic books themselves. A quick note – since this month is so relatively short, I’ll be featuring an extra comic every week, for a total of 32 comics spotlighted! Here is a list of all the comics spotlighted so far!

I apologize for the recent delay. M. Rasheed mailed me copies of nearly his entire 10-book Monsters 101 series (each book is about 150 pages). That’s a looot of comic books to read but it’s also a lot of comics to mail, so I figured I really should just review them all. So the end result was my schedule was thrown off a bit. I’ll try to catch up today and I’ll be back on schedule hopefully by the start of the new week.

With that said, in this installment we take at the M. Rasheed’ thirteen-year epic, Monsters 101 (I didn’t actually receive the sixth volume, so I’ll just be reviewing 9 out of the 10 books)…

Right off the bat, let me tell you, Monsters 101 is definitely quite unlike pretty much every other comic I have read. Rasheed is a strong cartoonist but the style of his art is that of an all-ages comic. However, he makes a point to tell a story that is definitely not all-ages. As you can see from the covers above, he specifically warns people on each comic that it is for mature readers. Here’s the thing, though, in the nine books that I read, I could probably make, like, ten edits and the books would be readable for, if not “all-ages,” certainly at least, like, a fourth grader. People still die, but I don’t think that means that a book can’t/shouldn’t be read by pre-teens. Heck, plenty of people die in the Harry Potter books, right? Moreover, the vast majority of the series tells a fairly normal fantasy adventure.

Sample splash page from 
Monsters 101, Book Three:
"Devil Take the Hindmost"
CHAPTER TWO - "Tcharen City"
pg. 29
There’s really not a whole lot of “darkness” in the series (besides some occasional killing). Except, of course, the very first volume.

Monsters 101, Book One:
"From Bully to Monster"
Monsters 101 begins with the tale of Willy Pugg, a bully who routinely picks on a nerdy kid named Mort. One day, though, Pugg is accosted by, well, monsters…

They admire him for his bullying and offer him a deal. If he brings them kids to eat, they will turn him into a monster. If he doesn’t, then they’ll just eat him themselves. And they can get at him wherever he goes, so he is kind of screwed.

It is a fascinating exploration about the idea of how much evil can you do before you really ARE a monster before TECHNICALLY becoming an actual monster. In a moment of chivalry earlier in the story, though, Pugg saves a girl from a different bully. She becomes enamored with Pugg and even after seeing him deliver a kid to the monsters (it is pretty messed up), she believes that there is goodness within him. Ultimately, she teams up with the kid that Pugg was picking on, Mort, to round up a bunch of kids to stop the monsters. By now, Pugg has officially been transformed into a monster.

The book ends with Pugg embracing his inner hero, but not before he loses someone very close to him. It’s a touching and bittersweet ending. Really, Volume 1 could easily just be read as a complete tale.

Monsters 101, Book Two:
"Heroes & Devils"
And then things go a WHOLE other direction, as Rasheed basically just turns the book into a fantasy adventure series. Which is fine, of course, I am not knocking that, it’s just an interesting transition. It’s really a lot like if William Golding wrote a sequel to the Lord of the Files where the surviving kids all formed a team of adventurers, using the skills that they learned on the island to fight crime.

Book Two pits Pugg (now calling himself Pugroff) against a superhero, who happens to be the father of the aforementioned foreign exchange student who was killed by the monsters. The book also develops the relationship between Mort and Pugroff. Mort is helping hide Pugroff, but not just because Mort’s a good guy, but because he has always wanted to be a REAL magician, and now that he knows that monsters exist then that must mean that MAGICK exists, so he figures if he hangs out with Pugroff long enough, he’ll get the chance to do some magic. That wish comes true when the two comes across a magical talisman that the monsters who Pugroff defeated in the first book had and it transports them to another dimension. When there, they run afoul of a jerky young devil and his sweet sister. When they meet the sister, they end up pledging to rescue her brother and that’s when they meet a MONSTER magician! This sets up the third volume, when they are now guests of the devil kingdom where Mort will begin learning magick (as the girl they help is a magician). The second volume is split pretty evenly between the superhero/Pugroff conflict and the adventure in the other dimension. The superhero is an interesting character, a man who uses all of his wealth to become the most powerful superhero out there (genetic modifications, etc.) but you can see that it is all about ego and not really about doing good. He’s an intriguing foil for a monster who’s trying to be hero. The new magical characters introduced in the second volume are interesting, as well, especially Benkom, a monster who is trying to become a magician himself.

Monsters 101, Book Three:
"Devil Take the Hindmost"
Book Three takes place in the Devil’s dimension, where Mort is a hero but Pugroff is seen as basically his servant. Meanwhile, the monsters from the first volume are back to cause some trouble, along with a new villain, a dragon. The devil girl that we met in the previous volume turns out to be a PRINCESS and this gets Mort into trouble when he has to put the little magick that the princess taught him to duel against the devil that is betrothed to the princess. There’s a lot of good world-building in this volume, as we learn more about the world and the customs of the devils. However, while Mort wants to be a magician, that doesn’t mean that he wants to live in a devil dimension and his spurning of the princess, even though he does so nicely, will have consequences down the line.

Monsters 101, Book Four:
"Late Enrollment"
Book Four has the monsters from Volume 1 trying to improve their lot in life by finding a magical weapon of their own (they are set on their way by a duplicitous dragon who figures that he can just steal the weapon later from them). It is actually pretty amusing watching these brutes try to solve riddles and the like. Mostly they try to use brute force to get past the challenges required to get an ancient faerie weapon (we get a quick chapter just giving the origin of the original owner of the super-powerful axe). Once in possession of the axe, though, Maescus (the head of the monsters from Book 1) actually tries to strategize a bit and decides to try to become the king of the monsters, with the help of Mort’s magic. This leads to a journey to the land of monsters, where Pugroff meets a monster similar to him who becomes a mentor of sorts. We also see the monster king. The monster king has an interesting set-up – throughout the series, whoever is the monster king gets challenged CONSTANTLY. It’s a pretty funny gag by Rasheed. Anyhow, Maescus’ plan fails miserably and it is up to Pugroff and Mort to save the day before the monster king can kill Pugroff’s new mentor. At the end of the volume, Pugroff ends up in possession of the super axe. He rescues the other monsters, who from this point forward now become basically supporting characters. It is interesting to see the way Rasheed plays with the idea of morality when you are a monster. To wit, can we really call a monster evil for killing humans? Are we evil for killing chickens and cows?

Monsters 101, Book Five:
"Monsters & Monarchy"
Book Five brings the boys back to Earth, where we discover that their old principal used to be a superhero! He discovers their arrangement…

M101, Bk 05 - pg 5

M101, Bk 05 - pg 6

M101, Bk 05 - pg 7

M101, Bk 05 - pg 8

M101, Bk 05 - pg 9

M101, Bk 05 - pg 10

M101, Bk 05 - pg 11

M101, Bk 05 - pg 12

M101, Bk 05 - pg 13

And he wants in on the whole “transformed into a monster” deal. I mostly just showed you those pages to show you what Pugg looks like as Pugroff.

One of the two villains in this volume is the dragon Azoratain, who wants the axe for himself. He uses a magic spell to resurrect one of the kids killed in Volume 1 (a hall monitor who was basically a “good guy bully” – a theme Rasheed uses a few times in the series – “good guys” who are just as brutal as the “bad guys”) to use as his super-powered warrior against Pugroff.

The other villain is the monster king from the previous volume. Can Pugroff defeat him and become king of the monsters? Well, Pugroff IS one of the stars of the series, so probably. There’s also an interesting sequence where Pugroff discovers bullying among the various monsters and decides to take a stance against bullying.

Monsters 101, Book Six:
"Pieces of the Puzzle"
I didn’t get Book Six.

Monsters 101, Book Seven:
"Eye in the Sky"
Book Seven opens with Pugroff as the king of the monsters, but he ends up possessed by an evil being known as Irylor. Irylor (in Pugroff’s body) then basically declares war on Earth. This volume is almost entirely just balls to the wall action as a team of superheroes shows up to fight the possessed Pugroff. When that doesn’t work, some Earth-based magicians take their chances. Mort teams up with these Earth magicians (since Volume 3, he’s been searching for an Earth-based magician to mentor him) and their battle for Pugroff’s soul is pretty intense. The end result is Pugroff becoming human again.

Monsters 101, Book Eight:
"Little Boy King"
Book Eight is split between Mort’s further development as a magician now that he knows how to enter the spirit world, mixed with Pugg’s situation as the king of the monsters while not actually BEING a monster. In the end, Pugg becomes a monster again, only this time he is a FULL monster and not a mutated human monster, and that is a major change as we will see as the series goes on.

Monsters 101, Book Nine:
"Speak of the Devil"
Book Nine is Mort intensive. He first must deal with the unresolved situation in the devil dimension and then must also continue his training. He comes across a group of “magicians” who turn out to want something less noble from the pursuit of magic. It’s a fascinating exploration of the power of being part of a “clique.” I was watching this week’s edition of Frontline on PBS and a big part of it was how companies were catering to teens by trying to make them feel PART of something (like being able to prove that you are one of the world’s biggest Hunger Games fans). Rasheed addresses a lot of those themes in Mort’s interactions with the “African Architects.” This also allows Rasheed to go on a riff about the way African culture has been European-ized when it comes to Ancient Egypt. The book ends with Pugroff beginning to make some waves with his new found kingdom.

Monsters 101, Book Ten:
"Class Dismissed"
Book Ten basically wraps up everyone’s story, with Pugroff making a world for himself (while also sadly having to sever ties forever with humanity, since full monster Pugroff, well, you know, wants to eat humans) and Mort coming clean to his grandmother about his magick and also making strides of his own towards reaching the next level of being a magician. Also, there is a hilarious riff on the candy bars that Pugroff has been obsessed with the whole series (he has been stealing so many that the company has gone out of business – so his monster lackeys have to find a way to get the company to start making the candy bars again).

M101, Bk 09 - pg 55
M101, Bk 09 - pg 56
M101, Bk 09 - pg 57
M101, Bk 09 - pg 58
M101, Bk 09 - pg 59
M101, Bk 09 - pg 60
M101, Bk 09 - pg 61
M101, Bk 09 - pg 62
M101, Bk 09 - pg 63
As you can tell from the sample pages, Rasheed is an accomplished cartoonist, with an excellent sense of story and a good sense of character. 

The stories are fun, character-driven pieces that slowly expand the cast to the point by Book 10 that the cast of the series is quite large, and they’re all interesting characters. As I mentioned earlier, this series has been a thirteen-year epic for Rasheed (the first stories were from 2000) and it was fun to see him develop as a storyteller as the series went along. It was a real blast.

Muhammad Rasheed - @bopeepp2002 That's literally my favorite part. This particular brand of hypocrisy points to a very specific type of mental illness. lol

Muhammad Rasheed - @iconcangel - I'm not your "bro," clown. What does your own late-bloomer neanderthal genes have to do with her and that string tied to her tooth? Are you blind, fruity?

Muhammad Rasheed - @_i_whipkickz_434 - You need to be deported back to your ancestral sh*thole. Have fun.

Muhammad Rasheed - @iconcangel It wasn't a "question," genius. it was just a throwaway gag. If American English was your first language, you'd get it. lol

l i z (@_lemonnmouth_) - @mrasheedcartoons you must be an extremely weak minded man to get your satisfaction off making fun of children. Say absolutely anything you want, everyone knows exactly the kind of “man” you are, lol

Muhammad Rasheed - @eldelosdedos Try that again in English, please.

Josh Hazlewood (@hazlewoodjosh98) - @mrasheedcartoons i would say my kid is more mature than you, honestly feel bad for your parents. Have you told them you were gay yet?

Josh Hazlewood (@hazlewoodjosh98) - @mrasheedcartoons plus your art n shit is terrible, not even toddlers would read it I would use that as toilet paper wipes, and shove it down your grandparents throats

Muhammad Rasheed - @hazlewoodjosh98 Is your kid "mature" because he's gay? Your logic is weird.

Nate Ebell (@ebellnate) - @mrasheedcartoons my bad

Muhammad Rasheed - @_lemonnmouth_ - Why would I care about you all's kids? Didn't you start the school shooting trend? If you don't care about your kids, why should I? lol

Josh Hazlewood (@hazlewoodjosh98) - @mrasheedcartoons if you were smart enough I was talking about you? Though you would understand that as a novelist but I guess not

Josh Hazlewood (@hazlewoodjosh98) - @mrasheedcartoons already got Instagram investigating you for asking links to see photos of children

l i z (@_lemonnmouth_) - @mrasheedcartoons “why would I care about y’all’s kids” says the guy watching a reel on instagram about somebody’s kids. I don’t know if anyone ever explained to you that you can simply not watch something if you don’t like it. And you really are a conservative huh? Brought up school shootings in a conversation about a little girl getting her tooth pulled out. Again, get a hobby, a job, a life, something.

Muhammad Rasheed - @_lemonnmouth_ lol There's a difference between not caring about your little feelings about your kids, versus finding it hilarious when you deliberately allow your kids to fall down the steps so you can upload it to this page for likes. lol

If you like it, I love it, based on the fact that I don't care about none of y'all either way. :D

l i z (@_lemonnmouth_) - @mrasheedcartoons I ain’t reading all that, if you don’t care so much then stop replying to each individual comment. Get a life and stop using “:D” as a full grown ass man.

Muhammad Rasheed - @_lemonnmouth_ Why do you keep trying to order me around when I clearly have zero respect for your opinion? Are you high on opioids and stupid? Or just extra stupid?

l i z (@_lemonnmouth_) - @mrasheedcartoons how’s that shitty cartoon business going ? 50 likes a post is prettyyy big !

Muhammad Rasheed - @_lemonnmouth_ It turns out it's a whole lot more fun and fulfilling than deliberately setting your kids up to hurt themselves, uploading it to this page to laugh at, and then getting ashamed & embarrassed when you discover a Black American in here laughing at your kids' clumsiness right along with you. lol Now this 'Josh Hazlewood' racist jackass is cyber terrorist attacking me out of embarrassment for his own race's degeneracy. Tsk.

Josh Hazlewood (@xxrevelations) - [posts on my mrasheedcartoons IG Page] Hello, to the people who see this account since this is the most recent, this man asked for links to see more photos of children. To make fun of and who knows what else, I have multiple accounts. For this man will try to block and personally blocked my main. Instagram is already investigating him. DM if you’re interested in proof. Much love to you guys and be careful who you trust online. For I am a man who can track IP. As well have ways of information you can’t imagine. Be afraid, but yet cautious on whose eyes you catch. For we will create a Revelation

Muhammad Rasheed - @xxrevelations None of this is true. 

This is a white racist who got triggered over my pro-Black American content. That's all.

Josh Hazlewood (@xxrevelations) - @mrasheedcartoons white racist? You’re hilarious, you’re digging yourself in deeper waters. I have many black friends and friends you would be scared of. You’re the racist for “assuming” me to be one.

Josh Hazlewood (@xxrevelations) - @mrasheedcartoons I have proof, all I want is an apology, like I said. If I don’t get one expect a phone call

Josh Hazlewood (@xxrevelations) - @mrasheedcartoons you deleted your comment on a little girl who had her baby tooth pulled out. In the comment you were making fun of her a grown man. We as a whole don’t appreciate that

Muhammad Rasheed - @xxrevelations You're clearly a white racist who is triggered over my Black American activist content. Out of all of the people jokingly teasing the accident-prone kids on the kidsgettingturnt site, why are you pretending that my comment was the only one that was actually serious?

Because you are racist.

Muhammad Rasheed - @xxrevelations lol I didn't delete anything. You can't see it because I blocked your other account, genius. What other lies do you have?

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - Hello, it’s me again. You are married to Eunique Rasheed and live on Lake Lynn Dr. I demand an apology or thinks will get out of hand

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - You are in Knightdale NC

Muhammad Rasheed - @rasheedcountdown lol Why would I "apologize" to a white racist who hates Black Americans so bad, that he pretends a simple joke was an insult as an excuse to cyber attack me?

I don't negotiate with KKK terrorists.

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - @mrasheedcartoons I love black Americans. I’m not a terrorist we are an organization. You just happen to be black and you’re playing your emotional card. You can apologize for when you were asking to for links to see kids.

Muhammad Rasheed - 1.) You clearly do not love Black Americans since you pretended to be insulted when you saw a Black American joining in on teasing an accident-prone kid on the 'kidsgettingturnt' site as an excuse to cyber attack me.

2.) You're clearly a terrorist who is attacking me based on my lineage/heritage as a member of the Black American ethnic group.

3.) lol I literally mock-asked you if you had any links to videos you had also uploaded to 'kidsgettingturnt' site of your own kids getting hurt so I could tease you more personally, since you wanted to pretend to be so butthurt over my original comments. Now you're trying to pretend my request was both serious and suspicious because you are a cyber terrorist dirtbag.

You need to apologize to me and stop being a racist dirtbag.

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - @mrasheedcartoons ah I see, I’m racist for defending children.

You just so happen to be black, we are a community of a whole of many colors. For we are hidden. We have came across a lot like you who take advantage of the creation of God for use to protect themselves to point fingers.

I see you are lying now. We do not accept that. For we defend children. For our hustle is donated. Expect a call tomorrow I look forward to meeting you.

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - in person

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) -  good luck

Muhammad Rasheed - @rasheedcountdown2 On a white-owned IG page that specializes in uploading vids of accident prone kids, all I said was "How do you even have teeth, you big baby? lol" in response to vid of a kid crying when her tooth was pulled. Then you started calling me names and tried to dox my family.

Obviously you aren't "defending children," but are cyber attacking a Black American because you are a sociopathic racist terrorist.

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - @mrasheedcartoons you are only making it worse for yourself

Muhammad Rasheed - @rasheedcountdown2 By doing what? 🤔

Refusing to allow a white racist cyber terrorist (Josh Hazlewood) to control a false narrative about me?

Muhammad Rasheed - @rasheedcountdown2 That doesn't even make any sense...

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - @mrasheedcartoons Josh is part of our services. You asked for a link to see photos of his kid. We sent the information to your wife. We have your “narrative” documented

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - again using the racist card to defend yourself. Welcome to the real world where human is human colors of this world don’t matter within our eyes

Muhammad Rasheed - @rasheedcountdown2 lol Josh IS your service, Josh. Stop playing.

You're being silly. Your first account tried to falsely call me a 'pedo,' but then you dialed back on that with your second "xxrevelations" account since you couldn't pretend to a fake credibility with an obvious lie. Now you're trying to bluff me with...

...what? More obvious lies? lol

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) - @mrasheedcartoons you are a pedo for asking for a link to see photos and videos of a child

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) -  i looks forward to meeting you

Josh Hazlewood (@rasheedcountdown) -  we

Muhammad Rasheed - @rasheedcountdown2 No one uses terms like "racist card/race card" except white racists. That's your impotent way to shutdown arguments that make you feel guilty because of your history of terrorism and system racism.

Muhammad Rasheed - @rasheedcountdown I'm not a 'pedo' at all, racist clown. You're just inventing nonsense as part of your sick cyber terror attack because that's who white people are. Shame on you.

Roy Jones, Jr. (@royjonesjrofficial) - What up, everybody. Happy Martin Luther King Day. To me, Martin Luther King stood for a lot and he had a dream. That dream has not still been totally fulfilled because we still hate people for difference reasons that are really unjust reasons. So, if you can today, just think about what he did, all the sacrifices he made, the things he stood for and try to stand for those same things on a daily basis. Peace, God bless y'all and have a great day. 

Monster Richard (@monsterrichard951) - In my view, many of the so-called Black leaders are just pure race hustlers that try to divide and want animosity between different groups of people. However, I have a lot of respect for MLK Jr., and believe he was a great leader.

Muhammad Rasheed - In my view, whites get defensive whenever racial topics come up because they know they did the Black American ethnic group dirty, but they don't want to be held accountable at all for their history of foulness. You all have a culture of cowardice and lack of integrity.

Monster Richard - Let’s agree to disagree. I’m not responsible for something that happened 200 hundred years ago, and I don’t owe you anything. Let’s talk about accountability. Considering Asians and East Indians kick the white man’s azz in education achievement and income, and they’re racial / ethnic minorities, why do Blacks always blame racism for their problems. The disproportionate amount of Blacks in prison is not because of racism, it’s because they’re the ones committing a disproportionate amount of crime. If Blacks do not perform well on standardized tests, it’s not because of racism. It’s because they didn’t study / prepare themselves to learn and do well. Failure to recognize these things as the truth is cowardice. It’s easier to blame it on the even white man. Believe it or not most white people I know are color blind and judge others on the character. But, you’ve bought into the narrative of yt people are evil ra cists. That’s fine. Live your life.

Muhammad Rasheed - monsterrichard951 wrote: "Let’s agree to disagree."

lol I agree that you have no idea what you are talking about.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "I’m not responsible for something that happened 200 hundred years ago"

You're responsible for helping to maintain a system that was first established 400 years ago, and then reestablished at points in history every since, including within this generation.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "and I don’t owe you anything."

Meanwhile, you literally owe me everything. 

monsterrichard951 wrote: "Let’s talk about accountability."

lol Let's.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "Considering Asians and East Indians kick the white man’s azz in education achievement and income"

Google "Asians cheating culture" and tell me what bubbles up. #IntegrityCheck 

monsterrichard951 wrote: "and they’re racial / ethnic minorities"

Generic "racial/ethnic minorities" doesn't mean anything. it's just a DEI scam. Immigration was deliberately weaponized against the Black American ethnic group -- the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) -- way back during Reconstruction because the resentful & bitter former slave holder refused to pay the former slave class for their labor. Immigration was reestablished as a systemic racism weapon against my people specifically with the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, which was the direct counter to the 1964 Civil Rights and 1965 Voting Rights Acts that Dr. King helped get signed. So the "POC/BIPOC" immigrant is just a support lackey of systemic racism, he's not an oppressed racial/ethnic minority.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "why do Blacks always blame racism for their problems."

uhh... Because my problems in my country literally began in the 1600s, when the light-skinned descendants of the European ethnic tribes colluded to permanently delegate the enslaved Africans to a hereditary, chattel bondsman class. This act created the concept of "whiteness" which is the economic caste system aristocracy of the USA, maintained with racketeering, organized crime tactics. The point of which was to prevent my group from being able to accrue wealth to pass along through the generations, but instead add it to white wealth, which is the root cause of the racial wealth gap between our two groups. Throughout the last 400 yrs, every chance whites have had to fix this historic wrong they refused, while pretending in their chronic greed and evil that racism isn't real, the way you are doing in this thread.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "The disproportionate amount of Blacks in prison is not because of racism"

Sure, it is. In fact, we can track it at two key points:

1.) The former slave holders placed the following loophole into the 13th Amendment: "...except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted..." in order to continue the slave institution under a new name ("convict leasing"). 

2.) After the lucrative manufacturing era ended by sending factory work overseas, the Reagan Administration unleased the designer drug called "crack" into the Black American (ADOS) community, which siphoned away our little bit of wealth to fund his CONTRA wars. Investigative journalist Gary Webb discovered that the CIA orchestrated the entire "War on Drugs" scheme and was killed, execution style, for his findings. The 1994 Crime Bill drafted by Joe Biden and signed by Bill Clinton effectively solidified the mass incarcerate 'convict leasing' program at the national level, which came with your manufactured "they’re the ones committing a disproportionate amount of crime" propaganda to keep the prisons filled with Black flesh. 

monsterrichard951 wrote: "If Blacks do not perform well on standardized tests, it’s not because of racism."

lol Sure, it is. Let's learn. In 1954, the Supreme Court found that "separate but equal" schooling was impossible to attain in the USA because of the legacy of racial discrimination against the ADOS population -- whites would ALWAYS hoard wealth & resources for themselves and exclude us when given any kind of opening to do so. Therefore, the Brown v Board of Education decision declared that ADOS had to go to white schools in order to get the education we needed to improve our quality of life. The response from the white American population was the concept of "white flight" -- where whites merely fled to the suburbs and refused to share their toys with ADOS. Creating political schemes like redlining/gerrymandering to hoard their quality schooling systems behind the racial wealth gap lines, whites deliberately continued the old school segregation practice in the blatant defiance of the SCOTUS decision. 

monsterrichard951 wrote: "It’s because they didn’t study / prepare themselves to learn and do well."

That's a lie. The ADOS ethnic group has always held high esteem for education, even more than our white counterparts. That's the entire point behind why you refused to comply with the 1954 SCOTUS decision and committed to cheating and political scams that favor your sneaky group. 

monsterrichard951 wrote: "Failure to recognize these things as the truth is cowardice."

lol The facts are actually on my side. You're just blowing hot air. 

monsterrichard951 wrote: "It’s easier to blame it on the even[sic] white man."

It sure is. 😏 Stop being evil.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "Believe it or not"

I would never believe anything that came out of your mouth. Blatant lying is a virtue in #CrackerCulture. When you do tell the truth, it's either an accident, or a set up for a grift.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "most white people I know are"

Equally worthless. I know.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "color blind"

"Color blindness" is a DEI political grift scheme designed to keep ADOS politically disenfranchised. Whites use the concept to fabricate faux-oppressed protected minority status for themselves. 

monsterrichard951 wrote: "and judge others on the character."

Your character is that of a lying grifter. Do better.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "But, you’ve bought into the narrative of yt people are evil ra cists."

It was pretty easy since I know how to read. It's not like you do a good job at hiding your dirt. That's the arrogance of an artificially propped up privilege. I supposed you'd prefer I bought into the false narrative of the white dude being the good guy and a champion of progress, or whatever. lol  Sorry, but I know way too much about you.

monsterrichard951 wrote: "That’s fine. Live your life."

Thank you! I will. 😊

monsterrichard951 wrote: "However, I have a lot of respect for MLK Jr."

You have no idea what Dr. King stood for. You're just running your ignorant suck for clout. Shame on you.

Awakening the Atrophied Eye: Mark of the Striver

Qur'an 50:31-35
31. And the Garden will be brought nigh to the Righteous,- no more a thing distant.
32. A voice will say: "This is what was promised for you,- for every one who turned to Allah in sincere repentance, who kept His Law,
33. "Who feared Allah Most Gracious Unseen, and brought a heart turned in devotion to Him:
34. "Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life!"
35. There will be for them therein all that they wish,- and more besides in Our Presence.

Ramadan took place in the middle of Spring last year. Since I've been faithfully fasting since I was a pre-teen, I had long ago gotten used to the hunger part of it, and can eat that ritual up like a champ with no complaint. In fact, after the previous 2022 Ramadan, I had started performing some of the voluntary fasts since I felt that I had the capacity for MORE. As I researched in this "more" spirit, I came across the following Qur'anic verse:

Qur'an 17:79
And pray in the small watches of the morning: it would be an additional prayer or spiritual profit for thee: soon will thy Lord raise thee to a Station of Praise and Glory!

I looked up how the prophet Muhammad (May the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him!) performed this special Night Prayer (Tahajjud), and it turned out he would get up before dawn and do it with 8-rakats, followed by 3-rakats of the Witr prayer to formally close out the salat of the day. For Ramadan, he also performed an additional 8-rakats (Tarawih) right after Isha. This all seemed really challenging—and it was!—and I found that depriving myself of sleep at night in that way, returned the challenge of Ramadan that the food deprivation aspect of the ritual no longer provided. I looked up what simple good deeds I could do everyday, and found this gem:

Al-Bukhari, 3119; Muslim, 2691
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever says 'la ilaha ill-Allahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu’l-mulku wa lahu’l-hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadirun' one hundred times in a day, it will be as if he freed ten slaves, and one hundred hasanat (good deeds) will be recorded for him, and one hundred sayiat (bad deeds) will be erased from him, and it will be a protection for him against the Shaytan all that day until evening comes. No one can do anything better than that except one who does more.”

Thrilled, I took the time to learn to recite it smoothly and added it to my dhikr folio.

At the end of Ramadan 2023, I found myself super-charged in faith & devotion and made the effort to increase my voluntary prayers to the max while I continued to get up at around 3am for the Night Prayer + Witr. Continuing my "more" research, I came across the following hadith:

Musnad al-Ḥārith #126
Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Allah will announce on the Day of Resurrection: Where are my neighbors? Where are my neighbors? The angels will say: Our Lord, who is befitting to be your neighbor? Allah will say: Where are my servants who frequented the masjids?”

"Allah's neighbor" seemed like some awesome lanyard flair to pick up. lol I also found a hadith where the prophet said that to walk to the masjid with the intention to make a mandatory prayer, it would give the same reward as making the Hajj. In fact, he said it would actually count as making the Hajj in case you never get to officially perform the pillar. I'd walked to masjids in Kuwait plenty of times to make the mandatory prayers, but never with the intention to take advantage of that particular Mercy of Allah benefit. I wanted it!

My problem at the time I read that was that I was no longer in a Muslim majority country, where there was a masjid seemingly every two feet, like a Detroit liquor store. My current adventure location didn't have any masjids at all, which meant there were all kinds of spiritual benefits I was missing out on (including the mandatory Friday Jummah prayer!), especially tragic now that I was actually made aware of them. This dilemma reminded me of a telephone discussion I had long ago when I was a young man in my 20s. I was living with my maternal grandparents at the time, but I no longer remember who was on the phone. I remember they were very excited that I was in Texas, and suggested that I should "establish a masjid" while I was there.  I remember being appalled by the idea of it, like it seemed LITERALLY impossible for me to pull off, and I dismissed the ideal with a sniff. 26 years later, as I found myself without a masjid to go to, I recalled that old discussion from my new position in life, and started mentally working out the puzzle of how I would establish the first masjid in an environment even more alien to me than 1997 San Antonio, Texas was to my younger self. I reached out to the base Chaplain and told him my needs on 08 Jun 223. 

Skip-jump to 28 Jul 2023, and I found myself posing with the Camp Commander and his team for the official ribbon cutting of the first masjid in the area. #WontHeDoIt The whole thing worked out without a single hurdle; it was ridiculously easy. I was certainly expecting a whole lot of hurdles, and simply prepared to face them with fortitude, to add the great good deed of patient perseverance in the Name of Allah to my record, but no need. I enthusiastically walked up to the new masjid all the time so I could claim my 'Allah's neighbor' flair, even walking up to it when I awoke for the Night Prayer/Witr. I would come to fully unlock the dhikr ritual ('The People of Remembrance' is also great lanyard flair!), reciting in the 2,000-3,000 range a day, most of it pointedly done in the masjid; remembering Allah and celebrating His praises within this new space for worship dedicated ONLY to Him and Him alone. I put together a promotional flyer and was pleased to surprise some recent reverts who joined me for Friday congregational prayers. 2023 proved to be the Year of Ascension. Glory be to Allah!

THE SHADOW
Even though the Commander's ribbon cutting event marked the official opening to the public, the space was actually ready on 15 Jul, when after a formal inspection with the Chaplain, I immediately began making salat in the new space. I also decorated, adding my favorite faith-inspiring Qur'anic verses, hadith and dhikr phrases to the display board (including the ones quoted here in red). One night, when I walked in for one of the late evening prayers, I saw a shadowy figure standing in the darkened room in front of the display board. I felt an instant flash of anger, that someone was messing around in the sanctuary, but when I turned on the lights, the 'figure' vanished. Embarrassed, I blinked at what was clearly an odd trick of the light, fully expecting to see whatever it was again the next time I opened the door at night, but this was not to be. I never saw it, or even a hint of what that shadowy image was again, leaving behind an odd mystery. 

Is it possible that it was actually some kind of normally unseen spirit being that had somehow become partially visible to me due to all the heightened spiritual activity I had performed since the Spring?     

THE MARK
The intensity of the spiritual high I was riding lasted until early fall. Every day, I made all ten sunnah (voluntary) prayers along with the mandatory five, in addition to the 11-rakat of the Night Prayer + Witr, along with thousands of dhikr chants throughout the day. One day, in the first week of August, I caught a glimpse of something weird in a bathroom mirror. It looked for all the world like a darkened birthmark high up on my forehead where I touch down during the prostration position in salah. I dismissed it at first, thinking it wasn't actually possible. I pray on a prayer mat that sits on carpet. It's not like I'm setting my head on hot stones, coarse sand or gravel... how could I possible get that prostration mark on me in the comforts of a 21st century life? Over the next week or so, it became increasingly obvious that it was indeed the prostration mark. 

Qur'an 48:29
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, but compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves in prayer, seeking Grace from Allah and His Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, being the traces of their prostration.

I always assumed that the Qur'an's mention of the prostration marks were spiritual in nature — I remember reading that they would actually glow while on the Resurrection Field. But I found myself with the mark that came seemingly from earnestly seeking to please Allah by increasing my prayer habits from the mandatory five to purposely committing to the voluntary prayers as well. In just a matter of weeks, the effort burned an actual mark upon my body, the physical mechanics of which fail to make any sense to me. 

With eight points of contact while in the sajdah prayer position, it's not like I'm putting all my weight on my forehead. I'm not. It's actually a comfortable position. I prostrate on 2-3 layers of soft cloth material, so how is this mark on my forehead? lol What am I missing? Without a sensible material explanation, it forces me to speculate in the other direction. Hear me out:

Allah wants us to strive to get closer to Him in paradise. We can get in by strictly adhering to the mandatory 5-prayers alone—which what I had been doing for years—but the prophets did way more than the bare minimum and they will be in the company of those nearest to Allah in the shadow of the Throne, not down at lowest tier where the bare minimum dwellers will be (collecting people's coats in the foyer). 

Allah said that salah is how you get closer to Him, and prostration specifically is the act of being closer to God. 

Our physical bodies are not designed to be in proximity to God. When Allah showed Himself in His Majesty to Moses (pbuh), it killed the prophet instantly and Allah had to resurrect him. Moses bore the golden burnt effects of the event on his skin for the rest of his natural life. Perhaps frequent prayers performed in devout duty to Allah, done while honestly seeking His Face striving to reach a higher rank in paradise, is basically pressing your forehead against the mystic third eye, and when done with true sincerity, discipline, patience and constancy — the four items on which our good deeds will be evaluated on the Day of Judgment — the quality of your righteousness will actually cause that mark to appear on the area of prostration. This may not be true, but the idea excites me and strengthens my faith!

Peace.
