Black People: To you,what constitutes as being "black" do you feel a true black person has to act "black"?

Muhammad continued the pre-Islamic practice of venerating the Black Stone. Bukhari, Muslim & Abu Daw'ud reported that 'Umar approached the Black Stone "I know that you are a mere stone that can neither harm nor do any good. If I had not seen the Prophet kissing you, I would have never kis "This shows that abiding by the Sunnah of the Prophet is binding, regardless of whether or not we understand its reason or the wisdom behind it."

Facts about the black stone: Muslims believe (without proof) that the revered "black stone" (Alhajar Al-Aswad) is a special divine meteorite that pre-dates creation that fell at the foot of Adam and Eve. It is presently embedded in the south eastern corner of the Kaba. Muslims touch and kiss the black stone during Hajj but non-Muslims are strictly forbidden to even touch it.

Before Muhammad appeared, the Kaaba was surrounded by 360 idols, and every Arab house had its god. Arabs also believed in jinn (subtle beings), and some vague divinity with many offspring. Among the major deities of the pre-Islamic era were al-Lat ("the Goddess"), worshiped in the shape of a square stone; al-Uzzah ("the Mighty"), a goddess identified with the morning star and worshiped as a thigh-bone-shaped slab of granite between al Talf and Mecca; Manat, the goddess of destiny, worshiped as a black stone on the road between Mecca and Medina; and the moon god, Hubal, whose worship was connected with the Black Stone of the Kaaba.

The stones were said to have fallen from the sun, moon, stars, and planets and to represent cosmic forces. The so-called Black Stone (actually the color of burnt umber) that Muslims revere today is the same one that their forebears had worshiped well before Muhammad and that they believed had come from the moon. (No scientific investigation has ever been performed on the stone) <<<--- Gee, no wonder... why find the truth behind the stone.... In 930, the stone was removed and shattered by an Iraqi sect of Qarmatians, but the pieces were later returned.

The pieces, sealed in pitch and held in place by silver wire, measure about 10 inches in diameter altogether and several feet high; they are venerated today in patched-together form These people kiss the stone and worship it.. following their pagan worship is all it is. Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

Its only muslim's direction.. If you dnt real truth y you wrote diz.. Jst be like a jesus... Jesus never told you ppl to abuse others rlgn.. If you really want 2 knw y we do dat den rply.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
