THE TRUTH AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, WHY MUSLIM SPOKESPERSON SOFT SELL RACIST POLITICAL REPRESSION

[dhoruba Bin-Wahad]

This is so familiar. The Media-Police two-step is tight. Muslims are
afraid to say anything sounding "militant" so they act bewildered and
put upon - rather than talk about the history of racist repression they act as if
a distinction between "criminal and political" is relevant in the
murder of an African-American Imam, as if criminalization of Black
peoples political and religious organizations is unusual, or that
there are no politics involved in criminal law enforcement in the
Black community. Muslim spokespersons are reduced to mealy -mouth
rationalizations differentiating between "criminal charges" and the
fact Imam Luqman was a Muslim rather the fact that he was obviously
set up by Muslim informants and infiltrators. This reads like every
case you guys ever dealt with. It's amazing how unimaginative the
government is, how tired their manipulation of snitches. But what's
hidden here is the divide and conquer strategy of the FBI. This Imam
was murdered because of his politics and beyaat to Imam Jamil.
Bringing a dog to arrest an Imam is of course a provocation - they
know the significance of dogs and Muslims- what was Abu Ghraib?
Imam Luqman jamaat is part of the largest "militant" block of
African-American Muslims in the states, many of the youth and families
in it are relatives of ex-prisoners and ex-prisoners comprise some of
its membership. On the other hand the immigrant Muslims, from
Pakistan, the middle east and elsewhere are terrified of state
agencies on an entirely different level. They are concentrated around
Dearborn and in areas of Detroit. Their Masjids are almost entirely
national affairs, and culturally insular. Hence, the FBI'd emphasis
that Luqman's masjid and "sect" were "African-American" wasn't just
rhetorical dressing. Many Arab, and sub-continent immigrant Muslims
are desperate to prove their Allegiance to the US and harbor racist
sentiments from their native culture. I am almost certain that these
are the reasons that the FBI claims to have "briefed" Local Muslim
leaders (with whom they had cordial relations) of Imam Luqman's take
down, and why only criminal charges were brought against him and his
followers. Yet everything in the news and the FBI's affidavit is about
an "extremist African-American group of Sunni Muslims" who want to
establish an Islamic state in America. C'mon maaaannnnnnnnnn! Only
white boys and a clueless snitches from the middle-east (or Negroes
from the hood trying to get paid) would "pop that thang" - put a
script like that out as plausible... but Like I always said, never
underestimate the power of plenty of ignorant people. But all of this
really conceals a deadly campaign by a racist Euro-centric political
system to determine what is acceptable Islam, and what is unacceptable
Islam. Sadly, this Imam's death is a partial result of Muslim
spokespersons in America bending over backward to accommodate the
violators of their civil liberties - who accept curtailment of their
freedom of speech (appearing moderate) and thereby elevate falsehoods
to the status of truth, and misconceptions to the level of
"conventional wisdom" because they refuse to address the reality of
white christian xenophobia at the root of white America's hatred of
Islam. These are the leaders that insist Islam is apolitical and in
so doing undermine the preparedness of people who are vulnerable to
the excesses of the state. This is exactly what was done to
marginalize Black nationalist militancy that viewed armed self
defense as political (rather than criminal in nature) and isolate it
from the "mainstream" Civil Rights and integrationist movements who's
objective was to reform institutional white supremacy. Black moderate
and non-violent leaders were incorporated as managers of race politics
and poverty administration in America while African-American
"nationalists" were targeted and marginalized.
Encapsulation of Muslim leaders and Islam is really what this is all
about. The assurance that Muslims in America never weigh in on US
domestic and foreign policies can only be achieved by controlling and
limiting the parameters of the debates around the phony racist concept
of a global "war on terror" - This is newspeak for New Age Imperial
militarism. I think folks need a "legal" check off on possible
ramifications of this case for the future, and an indication of an
effective means to counter spin the aforementioned nonsense. It is
worth noting that only on two occasions when the state (FBI) went
after so called "jihadist" or radical Muslims did deaths occur: When
Imam Jamil was captured, and two cops killed under conditions
suspiciously similar to those surrounding Luqman's death and this
current episode. Since 911 Hundreds of Muslim have been hauled in on
snitch based terrorist conspiracy charges and none were ever gunned
down during arrest. The state is apprehensive about Muslims coming out
of its prisons - of people imbued with new found faith after having
undergone exceptional deprivation and in many cases abuse at the hands
of the state. Here the issue of African-American Political Prisoners
takes on significance (another area most Muslim "Imams" won't speak on
in public). Therefore, It is No coincidence that both Imam Luqman and
Imam Jamil were the victims of pretext criminal arrest warrants that
supposedly had nothing to do with their Islamic views or in fact who
they were. So kick the legal ballistics to me on where this can go.
Peaceout

hetep,

this is why being politicized the correct way in terms of new age white supremacy and all its mechanisms is so important to afrikan people living within the jurisdiction of this cess-pool of a country. we have to be able to critically analyze everything that has happened to us since "physical" slavery, which means that we are gonna have to start thinking independently for ourselves outside of the orthodox black leadershit, which has long made a deal with our oppressors, which was predicated on access to material luxury in exchange for our heads being served up on a platter under nigga status. can we say mau mau?

uhuru!

it is said that if one doesn't study history and learn from its mistakes one will be doomed to repeat it. all sistahs and bruthas need to stop being afraid of the truth and speak out against all forms of govern-mental terror. death to stupidity and the anti-intellectual mentality that allows these lies to find a base of operation. forward forever! Free The Land! By Any Means Necessary!
