In his autobiography, Malcolm X stated that a news reporter once asked him, “Why is your Fruit of Islam being trained in judo and karate?” In answer, Malcolm X reported, ‘An image of black men learning anything suggesting self defense seemed to terrify the white man. I’d turn their question around:”Why does judo or karate suddenly get so ominous because black men study it.” He notes a double standard in pointing out that the YMCA and Boy Scouts teach judo...

Can Keith Ellison Revitalize the DNC?

Last updated on: November 22, 2016 at 10:18 pm By Hakeem Muhammad

When Congressman Keith Ellison first suggested that Trump could become the next Republican presidential nominee, he was mocked, scorned, and ridiculed. Pundits simply did not believe that such an event could ever happen. Now, Trump has risen to power to become the presidential elect of U.S and he is unapologetically appointing white nationalists and Islamophobes to some of the highest governmental positions in the land. Clearly, Keith Ellison possessed a political foresight which is deficient among many political commentators. It... Read more

Why Black Muslims Need Liberation theology.

Last updated on: October 19, 2016 at 8:54 am By Hakeem Muhammad

Muslims played an integral role in working to uplift the lives of black people and unapologetically indicted structural racism. Powerful figures such as Malcolm X frequently indicted Christianity in the subjugation of African people and its co-option to uphold white supremacy. The confidence of Muhammad Ali worked to instill within ordinary black people the pride of being black in a society that taught them to hate themselves. In addition to that, the Hon. Elijah Muhammad established actual institutions and... Read more
