FOR THE SITE MUSLIMS...I was watching a program on the NGEO network tonight called, "Inside

There have been since TV and Film began many studies of AlIslaam and People from around the World. TV and Film are generally considered Art Forms; Ok.
Art is a subjective analysis of The Artist Perception and the Perception of those the Artist is trying to Attract.

Art in europeanPaganChristian Society for at least 500 years has depicted Men and WOMEN of differet physical characteristics(skinColor), geographically different regions of the Planet and Belief of Life and Death(religions) AS DIFFERENT and UNEQUAL.

So, in my opinion, europeanChristian ARTISTS generally do not believe in the EQUALITY of the MEN AND WOMEN Descended from Adaam, the first MAN, or Howah, the first WOMAN and THEIR Family.

As for the REALITY and SCHOLARSHIP of 1431 years; AlIslaam, DEFINED by AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as)------a WAY OF LIFE presented to MEN AND WOMEN the world over and accepted by 2 BILLION men and women, Today, of different physical and geographical characteristics:

AlQur'aan is the Study of the Human Being--male and female--and Believers of AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as) Believe that the Male AND Female make the Human Being. They are physically different and their Created purpose is different..................

Together, the Male and Female make THE HUMAN BEING.

This is the SAME Reality and History as presented by THE CREATOR, in the Creation of Adaam and Howah(eve). without the two there would be none of us.........

male and female = human being......................

So, I did not see the Artist portrayal of NGEO, but my comments give my impression of most of the past portrayal of AlIslaam by the DEVIANT, Demonic Artists of paganChristian History.

I apologize for my inaccuracy, "Inside the Koran"---has been aired before in my time zone and I actually have in on my DVR.

It is a bits and pieces of truth and fallacy, in my opinion.
1. The Book of the Muslim is Alqur'aan, not the weak, oldEnglish transliteration "koran"----
2. the documentary is told from a christian point of view-with some religious writers that may be Muslim-and the translations used are inaccurate, as AlQur'aan is a Compliation of words of The Creator delivered to Mohamed(as) at historically timed and community related times over a span of 24+ years; that must be understood also through the Hadeeth of RasulAllaah, Mohamed(as)

Irma; the Man is asked by AlQur'aan to be the Protector and Maintainer of Women and I have included some verses of Allaah and Sunnah of Mohamed(as) to give Information-in my best transliteration of Arabic Translation into english

I pray Allaah that I do not make a mistake.

As I have said; men and women make the Human Being

Sûrat Al-Ahzâb(The Allied)
35. Truly, the Believers who submit to Allâah in AlIslâam; men and women, the believers men and women (who believe in Monotheism), the men and the women who are obedient (to Allâah), the men and women who are truthful (in their speech and deeds), the men and the women who are patient (in performing all the duties which Allâah has ordered and in abstaining from all that Allâah has forbidden), the men and the women who are humble (before their Lord - Allâah), the men and the women who give Sadaqât (Zakât, alms), the men and the women who observe Saum (SharRamadân, and the Nawâfil fasting), the men and the women who guard their chastity (from illegal s*xual acts and disrespect) and the men and the women who remember Allâah much with their hearts and tongues, Allâah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward.

59. O Mohamed! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their clothes and veils all over their bodies. That will be better, that they will be known as free respectable women and so that they will not be annoyed or disrespected. And Allâah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Sûrat Al-Hajj(The Pilgrimage)
5. O mankind! If you are in doubt about living and dying and return, then truly We have created Adaam from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female s*xual discharge your offspring of Adaam), then from a piece of thick coagulated blood and then from a little lump of flesh - some formed and some unformed (as in the case of miscarriage) - that We may make clear to you, to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will.
Narrated ‘Abdullâh رضي الله عنه: Allâah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, the true and truly inspired said: "As regards your creation, every one of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for another forty days, and then a piece of flesh for another forty days. Then Allâah sends an angel to write four words: He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he will be wretched or blessed (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into his body. (Sahih Al Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadith No.549).

Sûrat Âl-‘Imrân{(The Family of Imran)-Zakarriyya, Maryam, IsaIbnMaryam}

33. Allâah chose Adaam, Nûh (Noah), the family of Ibrâheem (Abraham) and the family of ‘Imrân above the ‘Âlamîn (mankind and jinn).

34. Offspring, one of the other, and Allâah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

35. Remember when the wife of ‘Imrân said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what the child that is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this from me. Truly, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing."

36. Then when she gave birth to her child Maryam (Mary)], she said: "O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child," - and Allâah knew better what she brought forth, - "And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam[2] (Mary), and I seek refuge with Allâah for her and for her offspring from Shaitân (Satan), the outcast."

Maryam (مريم) literally means: female servant of Allâah. And of course there is an entire chapter of Maryam(Sûrat Maryam) in AlQur'aan for your reading.

Sûrat An-Nisâ’(The Women)
1. O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person - Adaam, and from Adaam - He created his wife [Hawwâ], and from them both He created many men and women; and fear Allâah through Whom you demand your mutual rights, protect the relations of the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allâah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.

Sûrat Az-Zumar(The Groups)
6. He created you (all) from a single person (Adaam); then made from him his wife [Hawwâ’ (Eve)]. And He has sent down for you of cattle eight pairs (of the sheep, two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and female; of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two, male and female). He creates you in the wombs of your mothers: creation after creation in three veils of darkness. Such is Allâah your Lord. His is the kingdom. Lâ ilâha illâ Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turned away?

Sûrat At-Tahrîm(The Prohibition)
12. And Maryam, the daughter of ‘Imrân who guarded her chastity. And We breathed into (the sleeve of her shirt or her garment) through Our Rûh [Jibrîl], and she testified to the truth of the Words of her Lord [believed in the Words of Allâah: "Be!" - and he was; that is ‘Îsâ ibn Maryam as a Messenger of Allâah], and (also believed in) His Scriptures, and she was of the Qânitûn (obedient to Allâah)

I guess I could go on and on but AlQur'aan is avaliable on Line, in Bookstores with many translations and there are many Dictionaries and Commentary of 1431 years from many men and women.

I pray this helps a little, of course I guess I have written before on BIA, but I have not even scratched the Beauty of the Human Family with the Female being the center, the most necessary, and the most Protected descendant of Adaam.

I'm not surprised by much of what white people do or say on Tv and the internet
but I keep hearing people express fear of Muslims and Islam. In a recent conversation one person told another "Their god tells them to kill people." The propaganda has no bounds.

I had to get defensive a couple of years ago when one of my college professors in New Orleans (she was Hispanic by the way) kept telling the students, which included my brother, that Sunni Muslims kill people who don't accept their religious sect. If my brother had any doubts about what she said, he kept it to himself. But I had to remind them that not only have white Christians killed more people in more places than any religion on the planet since the fourth century.

Many White Christians support the wars and other activities of this government that have resulted in the deaths of millions and that have helped cause the problems between the Sunni and Shiite Muslims in the Middle East.

I cannnot speak on how the Sunni and Shia worlds view the NOI, all I can say is that based on my dealings with them they treat us with the utmost respect. Malcolm X can attest to that when he made his pilgrimage to Mecca prior to his assassination.

As far as the war between the Sunni and Shiites its no different from the war between the L.A. Bloods and Crips gangs, they are fighting for no other reason than for whose supremacy will prevail.

Firstly, All 2 Billion Muslims in the World Pledge the Oath of:

There is nothing worthy of Authority but The Creator of the Heavens, Earth and All that Exists.

All Muslims are SUNNI--following Mohamed(as)

Shia means, in English "the way",

****e is just an english transliteration of; one, shia is plural of ****e-shiite?(transliteration)

-----about 1425 years ago some of the Muslims that were alive at the death of Mohamed(as) starting having a problem with who should follow Mohamed as Commander and Leader.

---many that were of Noble pasts insisted that BLOOD should be the main Trait for leadership---Mohamed(as) though had no male sons--he did have a nephew or adopted son: ALI(as)---Ali did become Khalif but he was not the first, AbuBaqar AsSiddiq was the First, at the death of Mohamed(as).

---So because Iran has a great history of Persian Kings-Shahs and Nobility Rule--those today that are Shia are Iranian or live close to its borders, maybe 90Million..............

All Muslims believe that AlQur'aan is the Word of Allaah
and That Mohamed(as) is the Final Prophet/Messenger of Allaah---

All Muslims believe in the Scholarship of 1431 years of the translations, meanings descriptions of The Hadeeth; books about 'the way of Mohamed(as)'

out of the 2 Billion Muslims; there are maybe 90 Million that say Shia-

and they add Ali WaliAllaah--ONLY in their Oath---(Ali is the friend of Allaah) and they add some other hadeeth of Ali.----this is serious issues with Sunni 2 Billion.

Since the Late 1960s I have know many Shia, they came with the Shahs Modernization-----from Iran and most were Applied Science, Math, Doctors etc.

Now, I DO NOT agree with some Shia cultural difference;

I must say that great Shia Authors adorn my Library, Dr. Ali Shariati-- and Dr. Racheed AlMoussaui are GREAT.

I have know some American Shia that I knew on the West Coast; they came from AmericanPrisons as the Malcolm X-prisonMuslims who started to think and learn AlIslaam.
bloods and crips, mexican mafia and nazis also knew these Shia before americans ever heard of Iran; as they helped clean many druginfested ghettos.....


2. How did the NOI come to be Sunni oriented (if that is the case)?

noi died at the death of Our Father Elijah Muhammad in 1975---
I actually thought that people that still talked blackie, whitie and paganChristianReverseWhiteThought of noi were all buried or finally learned something but BIA seems to have the only 3-4 still left..........other than farrakhanMadoff

3. How does the Sunni and Shia worlds view the NOI?

if little, solomon or siebra came to The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or Iran with me, they would be put in jail or beheaded if I showed the authorities their writings from BIA.

4. What relationships do the current NOI have with Sunni and/or Shiite leaders?

no AmericanSunni or Shia or Foreign Sunni or Shia man or woman, that I know, would ever agree with the nonScholarship and disgrace of the Racialist Talk of the neo-noi..................

The shia and sunnah have no patent on Islam. It is a universal religion and the very nature of the original man of the planet earth commonly known as the black man. It is hard to find a part of the world that has not been impacted by Islam.

The beauty of Islam is the degree it protects the women. They are teachers, mothers and helpers. Islam has been taken to an extreme in many countries. Like a veil and walking 10 paces behind a man. A religion that claims all the prophets is bound to have followers in time that dispute which prophet is more important to Allah. Not all muslims are Sunnah. Some Muslims are Nation of Islam followers and World Community of Islam. Then there is MANA(Muslim Alliance of North America). A muslim takes an oath that his life and death is all for Allah. Muslims are united by the Holy Quran and the principles of Islam. All Muslims eat the same type of food and avoid the same type of food. Muslim women are being treated more equitably now with the global connection bringing foreign society within reach.

No one can deny a person to Islam. There should be no force. As long as the person is ready to submit his will entirely to the Will of Allah. That is sufficient.

koran, Quran are english transliterations for the Arabic translations in nonArabic alphabetic languages.

I, prefer, AlQur'aan, as it is closer in English to the Arabic Meaning.

For a person to submit themselves to AlIslaam, one must understand AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as)

Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Michigan State University is Really Beautiful--kindergarten math is ok, but even a little mathematician would agree that kindergarteners have only scratched the air of Mathematics.

Anyone that wants AlIslaam and enjoy the Beauty of AlQur'aan has to attempt to grow with Scholarship and Searching. If one who has had AlQur'aan on their shelf for 20-30-40 years and has not searched and read, in my opinion, is behind my 8 year old 2nd grader in Understanding of the role of the Muslim Believer......

Muslim Alliance of North America is a wonderful Islaamic Organization of Masajid throughout America that follows AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as)

World Community of Islam was an organization that louis farrakhan and other old noi followers joined in 1975---it became American Muslim Mission

jews and christians use the same set of books and reject each other---

The followers of AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as) follow the books of the jews and the christians(the original text-not paganAlteration)---they also follow all the prophets described in the original texts and have Evolved the Monotheistic Thought of The Creators first Man and Woman, Adaam and Howah(eve)---

again man is the protector of Woman, it is the womb of woman that bears man.

again there is much Scholarship of AlIslaam and Alqur'aan is the No. 1 Source with the Sunnah of Mohamed(as) the no. 2 source.

iraq, sunni/shia before the Crusade of christianGeorgeBush did not have this Division and cycle of violence.

Irma, the name Koran or Holy Quran are the same just differances in spelling and background of the person. Iran is one of the most powerful of Muslim nations and the most threatening than any other because like America it puts education of the sciences on top and have a civilization that is reflected.

Muslims from Asia and Africa are flocking to American colleges and universities after learning how "backwards" their science and technology curriculums in their native lands were when compared to American Schools. Key to why the American war machine whopped the pants off of Iraq and their Arab coalition army. With all the historic science and mathematics of Bagdad and the rest of the Arab world, they were not able to give the Americans a good fight. The Muslim fighter ran like hyennas running from jackals.

The migration of Asian Muslims to Americaa have translated into an exchange of cultures. As an outcome, for equality is being given to women in Islam including when it comes to education. All women are entitled to a good education.

irma,

you say; "both you Jamal and robert have offered me a look at how different and exact the Muslim religion/ faith is just like any other religious practices or society is in it canges and branches off from one another in order to best serve those who practice them...

One point must be comprehended here, those that follow AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as) serve nothing but The Creator, AlHaqq, AlWahid, Allaah---

AlQur'aan and Sunnah teach the Believer that serving anything OTHER than AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as) is NOT ALISLAAM----

Robert, you say, and I quote:

if little, solomon or siebra came to The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or Iran with me, they would be put in jail or beheaded if I showed the authorities their writings from BIA.

The problem with you Robert, is that you base every single aspect of religion on Al-Islam, and you denounce every NOI follower here who does not believe in your beliefs. Which shapes you into a worse off person. What have you learned about NOI, Sunni and ****te sects that makes you a better person? Obviously nothing if your still ignorant to not see that NOI, Sunni and ****te all refer to god as Allah (even though the NOI believes that God created man and the man he created was Black). Our Islamic DNA is the same, excluding the religious sects that we embrace.

irma,

you said,

"both you Jamal and robert have offered me a look at how different and exact the Muslim religion/ faith is just like any other religious practices or society is in it canges and branches off from one another in order to best serve those who practice them..."

based on this I felt that you had not Comprehended or Understood what I given to you from AlQur'aan and Sunnah.(I ask Allaahs forgiveness if I give you an opinion)

So I say again, plainer:

AlIslaam accepts the Evolution of the old/new Testaments of Scripture and the prophets after Adaam--124,000---to Noah, Moses, Isa, and Ending in Mohamed(as)--1400 years ago.

Allaah says in SuratulMaidah(the set table-all man needs for living)

Last word given to Mohamed(as) in AlQur'aan---

"and on this day have I perfected DeenAlIslaam for mankind, and I have bestowed My favor on You(Mohamed)."

the Words of Allaah-AlQur'aan have not been altered from the Original since that day 1430 years ago and these last words have been studied by Scholars for 1430+ years and I have Accepted what they mean and try each day for more knowledge of this Scholarship----

SO MANY MEN MAY HAVE INTERJECTED THEIR---OPINIONS--and this I say based on Scholarship is wrong....AlQur'aan is and always is THE SAME- always THE Way on any subject--and of course the womb and women........

all the additions, diversions and Opinions that the Europeans, calvin, king james, martin luther, popes, mormons, baptists, southernbaptists, pentecostals-------etc.----and that the, noi, neo-noi, abahullahs, 5% ters, etc ----- put into the Original words of Allaah in the old and new and Opinions, is not what The Creator gave Adaam---

i, have no opinion on AlQur'aan and the Sunnah. I read, learn and study everyday of my life, and I am, inshallaah a Muslim. I follow AlQur'aan as the 2 billion Muslims in the World do and have for 1430+ years.

so siebra, little, or solo, or farrakhan, or whomever that talks about Our Father Elijah is not following AlQur'aan, AlIslaam or Our Father Elijah Muhammad at his death 35 years ago because He did not die believing that Old Made Up Foolishness that Elijah gave the negroSlave just like the whip that the "christians gave those negroSlaves.......

Wow....if I was a non-muslim....what in the hell was that all about. No one sect of Islam have a patent on true believers.
It is the Belief in the oneness of God who proper name is Allah
It is the Fasting or Ramadan
It is the time for prayer ( 5 times)
It is the making of Haaj (pilgrammage to Mecca)
It is the prophets from Noah to Muhammad

Anything else....the sects of Islam will debate like the sects of Christianity will debate and the final judge according to the Quran is Allah HIMSELF. American muslims can't come up with bull**** to disclude the muslims in Brazil. That is foolish, no matter what hogwash is provided. The Quran is an open guide for all not just nation of Islam, Shi'a, Sunnah or any others.

again Clark,

I commend you as always--you are a thinker, a researcher and a factual historian.

You ask and I will answer as best I can-

I studied and knew personally Imam Wallace Muhammad, may Allaah reward his Servant. I studied AlIslaam with Muhammad Ali and traveled with him to Mecca and Muslim nations a number of times. I was on the stage in 1975 when farrakhan cried; and I stayed in contact with him while he studied and searched for 3 years with Imam Wallace Muhammad.

1. In light of the statements of Siebra and Jamal that I quoted, how can it be that Wallace Muhammad and Muhammad Ali are hated the way they are by NOI Muslims?

of course Our Brother W.D Muhammad has died. he is at the Mercy of His Creator---
NOI died in 1975 and farrakhan cried either for hearing the news that Elijah Muhammd could die: or at the News that Elijah Muhammad and the Family of Elijah Muhammad disbanded the NOI Long before 1975 and asked Imam W.D. Muhammad to TEACH AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as) --

and Muhammad Ali was the best know American that embraced AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as)--and I personally believe farrakhan as a LIGHT colored guy that could talk and look good for Our Father Elijah Muhammad thought that he should be Leader and Better know than Muhammad Ali. Our Father Elijah Muhammad had remarked many times that farrakhan was mostly brainLIGHT in AlQur'aan and Knowledge of AlIslaam.

neoNOI hates them both for accepting AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed and not accepting farrakhan...............simple


2. What was Elijah Muhammad to Islam? Is he considered a prophet in the same vein as Muhammad, and if so, do all Muslims see him that way?

Elijah Muhammad died in 1975 and He is at the Mercy of His Creator. Please note my references on this Blog above---many of the 2 Billion Muslims in the World; because of farrakhans continued teachings consider Elijah Muhammads' 1930 teachings to be those of an UNBELIEVER, doomed to Hell. 1930 Elijah was not AlQur'aan or AlIslaam.......................

But, other than Our Father Elijah Muhammads immediate family -- who knew that in his last days he recanted that OLD DISBELIEF and embraced AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as)---and His Son Imam Muhammad is this Sign of His Father; along with all of the 100 s of Family Members and close associates.

2 Billion Muslims agree with AlQur'aan that there are NO MORE PROPHETS AFTER MOHAMED(AS) --1431+ years ago......
and NO MORE SCRIPTURE FOR THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE FIRST MAN----ADAAM after AlQur'aan.......................

neoNOI can believe what they will as Americans---but not as Muslims---


3. Was Malcolm X's transgression, in the view of the NOI, not honoring Elijah Muhammad by questioning him regarding the rumors, and questioning his teachings regarding Islam?

AlQur'aan is clear about a man having more than one wife. Our Father, as a Believer, did nothing wrong with having more wives or children than Clara Muhammad. Imam Muhammad and His teachers taught AlHaj AbdulMaleek AsShabazz---one of his teachers was a Professor of mine in Egypt(rather than come back to foolish followers of 1930 negroPaganChristian Reversal religion-he stayed in Egypt and others stayed in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) I, OPINION--look at that questioning period as FBICIA questioning period.........

4. Do all Muslims believe the story of Yacub the “big headed scientist” that “created” white people,
and do they believe that there is a mothership circling the earth.

NO MUSLIM believes this 1930 negroPaganChristianReversal teaching......................

All 2 Billion Muslims believe that Adaam was the First Man and all of the People in the World Descended from Adaam---geoghraphically in different lands, climates and circumstances.

the only thing siebra said above that is Truthful is:

she "There is a speech made by Wallace, the title I cannot recall, but close to the end you clearly see Wallace call his father's teachings a myth and folklore, and he uses more elusive tactics by calling it a methodology."

please siebra grow up and learn something - and get married--

My offer is still on the table----

Robert, for the 1,000,000th time, would you please get it through your thick damn skull, I am not interested in marrying you or even meeting you for that matter.

Let's be realistic, you don't even love yourself, so how in the hell can you love me? To begin with, you're too ugly. Ugly in features, and TWICE AS UGLY IN ATTITUDE. It's a wonder you don't make onions cry with all that ugliness you possess (LOL).

Besides, you already have multiple wives at home (you said so yourself), so please tend to the ones you currently have instead of coming online trying to seduce me.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH (LOL)?

beauty thought The Monster Ugly---but she lived happily ever after.

That's fairytale...

Or as you like to call it...PAGAN CHRISTIAN THOUGHT...

We're dealing with REALITY here!!!

Reality, thank you for getting back to the Blog subject.

AlQur'aan and the Sunnah of Mohamed(as) teach that Man is the protector of Woman, that a father of a daughter must look to marry her to a Man. That a Muslim Woman must be protected and allowed to have children and nurture family.

paganChristianThought gives the Woman the idea that she can be single at 30 years old and talk to a Man disrespectfully. that women-can be men; that women are equal to men, rather than women are the completion of Man.

paganChristianThought allows women to raise prison fodder in America, hippity hooppers that hoopp around with their derriers showing, that hate education, that have to drug themselves, and disrespect the womb that bore them.

how dare you on BIA trash REALITY?

read AlQur'aan and follow the Sunnah of Mohamed!

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...

irma,

siebras additions on this blog, in my opinion, you did use robert in this Blog;

is an example of the American female that needs to be raised above street decadence, segregated, and taught better about the responsibilities of the Female that The Creator has asked to maintain a submissive and clean Society.

robert, you lost me with your last comment...I have no idea if you are being serious with what you said or are you talking in riddles, robert. (smile)

COULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT THIS?a little more brokend down as the saying goes. (smile)

Thank you Siebra, and could you better explain your last sentence, please.(smile)

Like you Clark, as "I" am always honored by those who want to(open minded) educate us as this I see as the path to unity and peace on earth.(smile)

Thank you bojt ofr you answers, you have offered me a lot to look at...both you Jamal and robert have offered me a look at how different and exact the Muslim religion/ faith is just like any other religious practices or society is in it canges and branches off from one another in order to best serve those who practice them...

Personally this is what I call SURVIVAL which to me is natural. (smile)

Tis maybe should be made into a totally seprate blog on how I see you Jamal saying a lot about the NOI, but you have been told by God (you said) to protect and bring happiness and security to Black Americans in a manner that at least from where I sit has nothing to do with the out look of the NOI at all...you always only mention your self Jamal as the O-N-E and only one to be able to bring this about...

JUST THINKING ( on what "I" am experiencing from your set goals Jamal)AND THIS IS NOT A CHALLENGE TO YOU ACCETRTING YOUR CILIV AND GOD GIVEN RIGHTS JAMAL. (smile)

Again thank all of you for helping in the objective dialogue...

and "I" put emphsis on the OBJECTIVE DIALOGUE. This I will continue to study.(smile)

Jamal, "I" have never heard of the MANA...could you tell me how old they are and are they only in America? (smile)

Is there any reason that "Koran" and "Quaran" is used or is it just the difference in the spellings or a difference in pratices, example,

A Baptist and a Metodist using the same version of the Bible, but they practice totally different rutuals in church?

Please lets not get distracted by the better then /right/ wrong just seeking a better understanding about a religion that is in a country of religious freedoms and hopefully respect( information)....

.PLEASE!!!!PLEASE!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!...EDUCATION!!!!EDUCATION!!!EDUCATION...YES WE CAN. (smile)

Thank you also Siebra, but as at the very most of the outsiders like me get to hear is the Malcom X wanted the NOI to become more enclusive of other races after his trip to Mecca. And, a better way to understand this beyond these pros and cons is a better insite into more informational over view than the limitations of the pros and cons of this (smile)

Thank you so much robert for you patience and understanding of those like me and Clark has shown on all we are after is open and honest information for better EDUCATION and UNDERSTANDINGS that can only lead to better unity. (smile)

robert I hope that you do not mind my making a copy of this so the I can study your information better. (smile) again thank you so very much....

Thank you so much robert. I am so glad that I do not get my education off of the tv...I do like many different resources...it is just very hard to learn any thing for the Muslims on this site because it is more of a mine is better then yours than being able to actually learn any thing from any of you. So I am still at a loss, but I can fully understand how not to take any thing as being true /accurate from the tv even though the National Geographic is some what to be trusted.

but, this also I gather that being able to trust past trying to get ratings is over ruled in the name of the almight $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$(smile0

And, again thank you so much robert...I wish you could do some informative information as related to the Koran...but, I am sure that this will be turned into another information disaster...this is a shame. "I" do love learning about different religions and their history expecially.(Iam not smiling)

OK PLAY NICE. lol (smile)

And, the word I mentioned that you often say that was said in the program was ALQUR' AAN, robert...and I am sure this program will be seen again on this network as they always do.

and, again thank you for your comment...it has helped me a lot..I plan to watch this program again as I am sure I will be able to look at it in a more enlightened way the next time. (smile)

Thank you robert, but I was specifically speaking of the program as it related its name, "Inside The Koran" and only the Koran. (smile)

I like to get information from all sources that I can and even better if I can get it straight from the horse's mouth as the expression goes therefore I came not to the Christians who so not use the Koran, but to those who do use the Koran.

I do not argue which is /is not the right religion for that person...

I am only trying to get a better understanding of something I saw about or related to the Koran on NGEO tonight. I have never experienced this form of speaking about the Koran before...as I did watching this program.

THANK YOU...(smile) and this smile goes to the blog theme...I was a lot nervous trying to ask for the information without seeming offensive to anyone...
