Help stop the gassing of Immigrants!!

[brave-and-strong-women]

Thank you both for this pleasant and constructive discussion

Hello. I am a member of the Nation of Islam and I am at a crisis. I was taught that the Jews have been manipulating black people, and that they controlled the world's wealth. I'm starting to grow disillusioned by the faith I've practiced since I was born, and I'm trying my best to learn more about the relationship between Jews and Blacks. Can you help me find resources for me to learn more? Also, I know you don't speak for all Jews, but can you help me understand why NoI is anti-semitic?

Salaam Alaikum!

Thank you so much for writing to The horrible problems of antisemitism are very real and really very scary. 

I am sorry that you were taught so many antisemitic things about the Jewish people, and I am sorry that you are beginning to grow disillusioned by your faith. 

I hope that you are able to grow from this experience of realization!

I think that it might be helpful to explore both the relationship between the Jewish people and Islam as well as our relationship with the black community.

Specifically for the Jewish-Muslim relationship, I invite you to explore this article, this prayer, this Youtube video, the incredible work done by the Abrahamic Union,  the Sisterhood of Salaam-Shalom,  and feel free to join a Facebook group that I moderate called “Jews and Muslims for Peace”!

In regard to the relationship between Jews and Black people, you might want to first explore resources specifically from Jews of Color (like “Jews in All Hues”) or organizations dedicated to ending racism (like Jews for Racial and Economic Justice).   If I were you, I would explore the history of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s relationship, and Heschel’s commitment to civil rights.   And it might also be helpful to check out the Religious Action Center (The Social Justice Hub of the Reform Movement) and its commitment to racial justice.

How is the Nation of Islam antisemitic?   They are Holocaust deniers and they promote antisemitic stereotypes like references to Jews as “bloodsuckers,” and that we were responsible for the African Slave Trade.   In short, the leaders of the NOI promote an antisemitic agenda to their members.  Here are some resources that can help you better understand why the NOI is really rather horrible… x x x x

Please let me know how I can best support you on your journey, friend!  If you ever have any questions about Judaism, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.  I would love to chat!

I hope that you are having a lovely evening!

"Never again" means something.

Shall I become active again on this blue hellsite?

VERY ODD. If you like women to be covered up and low key, why wouldn’t you just go for the women that like being covered up and low key??? Why would you purposely go after a woman that is the complete opposite, ask her to be your significant other, then try to change her to fit what you want????

And they say it’s women that don’t know what they want 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️.

People may not tell you how they feel about you, but they always show you. Pay attention.

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

fuck all philosophy except for whatever the hell Diogenes was trying to teach

Lately I’ve been doing this thing where when men give me shit at my job, I choose to instead speak to their wives/girlfriends/female counterpart. I had a dude today try to yell at me and I ignored him and instead spoke in a very level voice to his wife instead. He literally stomped his feet like a fucking toddler and said “stop ignoring me! I’m talking!” And his wife said “George, please use a quieter voice. You’re embarrassing me.”
