  The great commotion of the government and people of America; the civil unrest, insurrection, mental excitement and noisy confusion–there is no action that is being taken, nor can there be any action taken, that would bring the people to a better condition of civil action. The White American people have practiced evil and injustice to the man in the mud, the Black slave, for so long that they think that there would never be any divine action taken against them for such evil and injustice. But this is what is now affecting–it is the actions of divine justice for the poor man (Black slaves). Allah (God) in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever, has the power and He is using His power on the wicked to bring them to their knees. Allah (God) is the greatest and there is no equal to Him. Allah (God) can take us by our own way of thinking and spin us as though we are a play-toy. We cannot fight a successful fight against Him. He is too powerful. He listens ...

  No. Being a pedophile is not a crime, being a child abuser is. For  many offenders, children just happened to be the victims they had the most access to and could keep quiet. Many  pedophiles  are non-offending and capable of having attraction to adults as well, leading them to be able to have normal lives with adult partners. The best treatment  for  them is providing mental health support to allow them to lead normal lives, not to punish them preemptively. Additionally when we are talking about specifically  juvenile  offenders, they have an overall low recidivism rate as it pertains to sex crimes, including those against children. With the right rehabilitative services many can go own to lead normal, productive lives that are free from crime. I think in light of this,  juvenile  offenders should focus on rehabilitation and not the death penalty. Adult offenders of sex related offenses are different and don’t have as low of a rec...

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences and earthquakes, in diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Holy Bible, Matthew 24:6-8 Advertisement › This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those tha...

  In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. As-Salaam Alaikum. Emotions and tensions are high in the country and among us as the 2020 National Election nears. We are choosing sides based on the evil we see that President Trump has done, the racial animus he has stoked, and the insulting things he has said. Our anger toward him is legitimate and there is a great cry for Black people to come together and defeat him at all costs. Many see a serious threat in his policies, such as the appointment of conservative judges at the federal level and his effort to push the Senate confirmation of conservative Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court Justice and replacement for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Others, however, are pointing to the role that Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden played in devastating our communities through the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill, which contributed mightily to the mass incarceration of Black men, widespread prison construction and tougher...

  Pedophilia , in conventional usage, a psychosexual disorder, generally affecting adults, characterized by sexual interest in prepubescent children or attempts to engage in sexual acts with prepubescent children. The term was used with that meaning in the psychiatric diagnostic literature prior to the publication of the fifth edition of the   Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders   (2013;   DSM-5 ), which replaced   pedophilia   with   pedophilic disorder . As in earlier editions, the   DSM-5   classifies the disorder as one of several   paraphilic disorders , involving   atypical   sexual interests, practices, or behaviours (paraphilias). Unlike the earlier editions, however, the   DSM-5   explicitly distinguishes between   paraphilias   and   paraphilic disorders, recognizing for the first time that individuals may exhibit or engage in a range of atypical sexual interests, desires, pr...
