[QUOTE]Originally posted by carambolas: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] Another thing that should be understood also is that many Islamic documents written by non blacks are overtly racist, which again only serves to minimize and diminish the roles of blacks within Islam. [/qb][/QUOTE]What you say is true. Several Islamic documents say racist things about blacks. Muhammed, who traded in slaves made certain references to blacks, calling them 'raisin heads' for example, but this might have just been customary speech in those days. Blacks called "raisin heads" (Sahih Al Bukhary vol. 1, no. 662 and vol. 9, no. 256). Mohammed calling blacks "pug-nosed slaves". (Sahih Moslem vol. 9 pages 46 and 47). Islam mentions that whenever Mohammed dreamed of a black woman then it was an evil omen of disease (Hadith vol. 9, nos. 162, 163). Then a number of Islamic writings hold that balcks are the accursed, inferior "sons of Ham." A comparison with the writings of Moses in Genesis 8-10, however reveals that the Hebrew lawgiver pronounced no "curse of Ham". He did predict that the nationsof Lebanon/Palestine etc would be conquered by the Hebrew ex-slaves that came out of Egypt, if indeed they did. But as for black people per se, Moses was quite respectful. In Genesis 10, he credits the first large scale civilization to the Cushites, under Nimrod, son of Cush. And groups the Egyptians (Mizraim) with such 'darker' peoples as Cush, Punt, and Libya. It could be said that the Hebrew lawgiver gave blacks proper credit and respect. His writings though were later on distorted by Arab, Jewish and white racists, but his original documentation is pretty clear. Moses also married a black woman (Numbers 12). If he dreamed of such a woman before he married her, apparently she brought no disease to him. [/QB][/QUOTE]
