When Muslims Join Forces with an Anti-Black Hate Group.

May 6, 2018 By Hakeem Muhammad

For African Americans, Islam is the first faith that we were able to choose for ourselves, absent white supremacy. This small fact is lost among Immigrant Muslims and their families who came to America seeking a nearness to white America and all it had to offer. So, when we see Muslims attach themselves to organizations that worked for and continue to work for the oppression of Black people around the world, it makes us feel some type of way and...

February 19, 2018 By Hakeem Muhammad

Hoda Katebi, an Iranian-American Muslim woman recently appeared on WGN News Chicago with the understanding that she would be discussing her work as a fashion blogger. Instead of the latest fashion trends and models, the WGN news anchor did a bait and switch, saying, “Let’s talk about nuclear weapons.

A Black Muslim History Message From Brother Hakeem Muhammad

February 8, 2018 By Hakeem Muhammad

One of my favorite poets, Amir Sulaiman, once said, “We’re just trying to make Black History but it’s like they’re trying to make blacks history.” In order to justify its existence, the white power structure tells lies. In its parasitic and demented mind, slavery and colonialism was needed to ‘civilize’ Africans. The contemporary impoverished status of Africa, is seen as result of the inherent intellectual inferiority of the African mind. In a challenge to these myths, political scientist Walter Rodney...

The Absurdity of White Christian Islamophobes!

January 1, 2018 By Hakeem Muhammad

Anytime, I hear a White Evangelical Christian ranting and raving about how Muslims belong to a violent, extremist, religion that spread by the sword based upon some propaganda they heard on Fox News or their friends, I just scoff. That’s because they are clearly projecting. Within the field of psychology, the theory of projection is utilized to explain how humans defend themselves against their unconscious impulses and qualities by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others....

December 11, 2017 By Hakeem Muhammad

President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel on December 6. This was celebrated by ‘israeli’ prime minister, Netanyahu who said, “this is a historic day” and he preceded to thank Trump. Why would Israeli, prime minister Netanyahu look for Trump, a man who repeatedly uses the racial slur “pocahontas” in reference to Native Americans, to grant legitimacy to ‘israel’ choosing Jerusalem as its capital? The reality is, both “israel” (stolen Palestine) and the “united states” (Stolen Turtle Island)... Read more

Does Israel Believe Black Lives Matter?

October 13, 2017 By Hakeem Muhammad

The characterization of “Israel” as an apartheid state in reference to its systemic oppression of Palestinians has received much criticisms and pushback from Zionists. They assert that Pro-Palestinian Boycott and Divestment activists who classify “Israel” in this manner are erroneous and unfairly targeting Israel. However, history tells a different story. What often is omitted from scholarly and contemporary discussions about Israeli apartheid is their culpability in the development of apartheid South Africa. The relationship between officials in...
