Sometimes We Break Our Own Men, and Don’t realize it. Imam Abu Laith Luqman Ahmad
MUSLIM MEN BECOME BROKEN IN OTHER WAYS Being a Muslim man is not as easy as people make it seem. We are not the all powerful tyrants and arrogant ogres as some of us, especially some Muslim women characterize us to be. Muslim men have obligations and responsibilities for our wives, our children, our families,…

How Hard Core Feminism Oppresses Black Muslim Women. Imam Abu laith Luqman Ahmad
HOW HARDCORE FEMINISM OPPRESSES BLACK MUSLIM WOMEN The core of modern-day hardcore feminism is not to be subordinate to men under any circumstances, father, husband, Imam, teacher, leader, or anything. Some Muslim women just can’t find a way to reconcile that notion with the notion of family, Prophethood, or the idea that obeying one’s husband…

Will The Muslim Fight Against White Supremacy be like Our Fight Against Islamophobia? Imam Abu Laith Luqman Ahmad
The newest issue to hit the American Muslim national issue menu is fighting “white supremacy”. Here we go again. Seems like I saw this movie before, more than once. I just hope we don’t start hunting down white supremacists like we ridiculously hunted down Islamophobes. That didn’t work out too well. Who’s bright idea was…

White Supremacy’s Answer to Black Lives Matter. Imam Abu Laith Luqman Ahmad
If I was a powerful white supremacist, and I wanted to dampen the Black Lives Matter momentum, I would have “Black Lives Matter” painted on streets in every major city where there are Blacks, people would consider that an achievement. I would get millions of Black Lives Matter hats, shirts, emblems and coffee cups, and…

Tackling Racism in Muslim America; Mending Without Offending. Imam Abu Laith Luqman Ahmad
One of the goals in addressing racism in Muslim America is mending rifts between Black American Muslims and converts and the rest of the American Muslim population and for the politically correct minded, not to offend anyone in the process. Mending when it comes to Muslims, can occur almost instantaneously by the grace of the…

There’s more power in the drug game and in the liquor store business, then there is in the local Black American Muslim imamate. By Imam Abu Laith Luqman Ahmad
“Black Imams are seeking power” That’s rhetoric from an ancient internal anti-Black, self-hate, slave mentality playbook. One that should have been discarded along time ago. Over the last 50 years or so, many Black American Muslims have been convinced that their Imams are good imams as long as they are struggling, not able to do…

Open Demand that Islamic Scholars be Clear On the Race Issue. By Imam Abu Laith ibn Abi Hussain Luqman Ahmad
Racism and racial bigotry is not just an American problem. It is a problem felt around the world; including the Muslim world. Black people are treated unjustly because of the color of their skin all over this globe, including the holy lands of Islam, which all belongs to Allah sub’haanahu wa ta’ala. In Islam, an…

IS SUFISM THE ANSWER TO BLACK AMERICAN MUSLIM CIVIIZATIONAL DECLINE? Imam Abu Laith Luqman Ahmad
Sufism is the last augmented rendition of Islam to be thrust wholesale upon Black American Muslims and converts. I said years ago that after Sufism hits, there will be nothing left to hit us with from abroad, and what will remain is the original Islam of the Prophet (SAWS). Don’t get me wrong, it’s not…
