LOUIS FARRAKHAN IS NOT A MUSLIM

Submitted by CMG (United States), Mar 6, 2007 at 08:48

I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING FARRAKHAN AND TH E NATION OF ISLAM FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. NOT TERRIBLY IMPRESSED. ASIDE FROM THAT, MANY MUSLIMS ( FROM THE MIDDLE-EAST HAVE TOLD ME THAT HTEY DO NOT SEE THE ' NOI' AS A TRUE AND LEGITIMATE RELIGION OS ISLAM.

I SRTONGLY ADVISE ALL TO READ IRSHAD MANJIS' BOOK, ' THE PROBLEM WITH ISLAM ( TODAY).' SHE IS A CANADIAN PAKISTANI MUSLIM ( SHIA) AND WHILE DOING HER RESEARCH FOR HER BOOK, SHE INTERVIEWD TONS OF OTHER MUSLIMS IN CANADA AND ELSEWHERE AND WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED!! ALMOST ALL THE SUNNI MUSLIMS TOLD HER FLAT OUT: SHE ISNT A 'REAL MUSLIM' AND WHEN THE FUNDAMENTALISTS TAKE OVER SHE WOULD BE NO DIFFRENT THAN AN 'INFIDEL': THEY WOULD KILL HER OR SHE HD TH EPPORTUNITY TO CONVERT!!! SHE WAS SHOCKED. ( THESE 'SENTIMENTS ' WERE ALSO EXPRESSED BY MIDDLE-CLASS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN CANADA!!)

SO, I AM WONDERING: WHILE THE 'NOI' IN MANY WAYS HAS BEEN 'ALIGNING ' THEMSELVES WITH THE 'MUSLIM WORLD' ( AND I THINK TH E NOI IS BEING 'USED' BY THEESE PEOPLE FOR THEIR OWN GAIN), AND THEY ARENT SEEN AS 'REAL MUSLIMS' DO THE SUNNI ARABS HAVE PLANS OF MURDERING THEM AS WELL-OR FORCING THEM TO 'REALLY' CONVERT AND BE TRUE MUSLIMS???...
