Freemasonry: Why is it so Intriguing
“FREEMASONRY: WHY IS IT SO INTRIGUING ?”
By Fahim A. Knight
The topic and subject of Freemasonry has always drawn curiosity, suspicion, criticism, and admiration simultaneously throughout human history from its pundits and supporters, both equally holding fervent and credible positions. The Freemasonic detractors view Freemasonry as nothing else but a “secret society” bent on infiltrating every society with an objective of undermining the nations of the world sovereignty and supplanting the worship of God and religion with a non-sectarian universal concept of the Supreme Being, which is in so-called contradictory to Christianity, the dominant religion of the West. But those who are the arch deceivers of humanity use this theory to dismiss any rational debate and/or argument that might arise in opposition to the dominant way of thinking. Religion has always been used as a tool to control and confine people and has always hindered society’s ability to evolve historically and man has been presently made stagnated by myths, misconceptions, half-truths, folklore, tradition, etc., to the detriment of his own spiritual and social progress.(Reference: Ralph Epperson; Masonry: Conspiracy Against Christianity)
This writer does not necessarily share in the belief that visible Freemasonry, meaning the rank and file lodges that you see in cities and towns across the United States and world, are operating behind a sinister and diabolic agenda and is part of a world conspiracy (such as the Order of Illuminati) possessing power and influence to manipulate the political, economic, and social lives of humanity. The type which Carroll Quigley (Tragedy and Hope), William Cooper (Behold the Pale Horse), John Coleman (The Committee of 300), David Icke (The Biggest Secret), Gary Allen and Larry Abraham (None Dare Call it Conspiracy), Manly P. Hall (The Secret Teachings of All Ages) Texe Marrs (The Circle of Intrigue), etc., have so thoroughly written about.
Masonry then poses as a counter system of Ethos to religion, attracting individuals of all religious persuasions and faiths who have the ability to think outside the walls of dogmatic faith traditions in search of universals truths that have been time tested and is in correlation to the universal order of things (Macrocosm and Microcosm). Freemasonry act as a conduit allowing men to possess philosophical thoughts, which might not be consistent with their faith traditions, but are not persecuted for exploring intellectual or the philosophical gamut of ideas, which even might demonstrate inconsistency with one’s faith tradition, but the lessons of tolerance is expected to emancipate and deliver a Masonic brother away from shadowiness and confinement of religion. (Reference: Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas; The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasonry, and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus).
The Masonic brother entering the Masonic lodge as an Entered Apprentice is divested of all metallic substance and stripped of all their worldly possessions, which is the first step of preparation to transforming man from what he has become in this external world (physical) and what he is expecting or anticipating of becoming in his new internal (spiritual) travel. This symbolic step is not govern by materialism, which has help to lead him astray from the true path of spirituality and is not rooted in man’s relationship with the universal order of things. But to embrace this concept, he ultimately discovers that God is not dead. Masonry in its rituals and teachings has always used allegory and symbolism as the basis of Speculative Masonic philosophy in order to tap into universal truths that is not necessarily associated with organized religion—Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which do have semblance of the “Higher Science” incorporated. (Reference: Robert Lomas; Turning The Hiram Key).
W.L. Wilmshurst in his book titled, “The Meaning of Masonry, “The meaning of Masonry, however, is a subject usually left entirely unexpounded and that accordingly remains largely unrealized by its members save such few as make it their private study; authorities of what in all other respects is an elaborately organized and admirably controlled community have hitherto made no provision for explaining and teaching the ‘noble science’ which Masonry proclaims itself to be and was certainly designed to impart. It seems taken for granted that reception into the Order will automatically be accompanied by an ability to appreciate forthwith and at its full value all that one there finds. The contrary is the case, for Masonry is a veiled and cryptic expression of the difficult science of spiritual life.” (Reference: W.L. Wilmshurst; The Meaning of Masonry).
But these faith traditions only allows Freemasonry to exercise its principles in a quasi independent manner, as long as it does not infringe to much on its core religious dogmas. Religion, in particular western religion is confining and is rigid and do not allow room for deviation—or freethinking, thus, Freemasonry seeks to bring man from “Darkness to Light” by encouraging and inspiring man to search for more light (truth) in Masonry with the understanding that this will be an infinite journey that can not be restricted by religion or its tenets. Although, Freemasonry in the West rely heavily on the Holy Bible in order to justify its ritual and give spiritual meaning to its body of symbolism. (Reference: John Rice; Lodges Examined By The Bible).
Albert G. Mackey authored in the 1850s “Jurisprudence of Freemasonry” and it was later revised by Robert I. Clegg titled, “ Mackey’s Jurisprudence of Freemasonry” and he stated, “Thus in the very instance here referred to, the fundamental law of Freemasonry requires only a belief in the Supreme Architect of the universe, and in a future life, while it says, with peculiar toleration, that in all other matters of religious belief, Freemasons are only expected to be of that religion in which all men agree, leaving their particular opinions to themselves. Under the shelter of this wise provision, the Christian and Jew, the Mohammedan {Muslim} and the Brahmin, are permitted to unite around our common altar, and Freemasonry becomes, in practice as well as in theory, universal. . . The truth is, that Freemasonry is undoubtedly a religious institution—its religion being of that universal kind in which all men agree, and which, handed down through a long succession of ages, from that ancient priesthood who first taught it embraces the great tenets of the existence of God and the immortality of the soul—the tenets which, by its peculiar symbolic language, it has preserved from its foundation, and still continues, in the same beautiful way, to teach.” (Reference: Robert I. Clegg; Mackey’s Jurisprudence of Freemasonry).
The Bible was originally written in the Hebrew and/or Amharic language and this writer will cite the various translations, it has gone through since the original tongue. The New Testament was first translated from Hebrew into Greek; the Vulgate 400 A.D. New Latin version by Jerome using Greek and Hebrew texts; Lindisfarne Gospels—698-721 A.D. Gospels in Latin; Bede 735 A.D. part of John Gospel in Anglo Saxon; Erasmus Greek and Latin New Testament 1516 A.D.; John Wycliffe First Bible in English 1526 A.D.; William Tyndale the first printed English New Testament 1526 A.D. but in 1604 A.D.; Miles Coverdale first printed English Bible 1535 A.D.; The Great Bible 1539 A.D.; The Geneva Bible first small edition 1560 A.D.; The Bishop Bible; The Douai-Rheims Bible Roman Catholic Version 1609 A.D.; King James the authorized version 1611 A.D.; King James English Revised version 1881-1885 A.D.; King James Revised King James version 1609 A.D.; Jerusalem Bible 1966 A.D.; New English Bible 1970 A.D.; Good News Bible 1976 A.D. ; New International version 1979 A.D. (Reference: Malachi Z. York; The Book of Revelations).
King James 1 of England at the Hampton Court Conference commissioned forty-seven (47) biblical scholars to transliterate the Bible from Hebrew, Greek, and Latin too English, which was completed in 1611 A. D. It was during this translation process that the Bible was altered and changed to satisfy the imperialistic interest of the ruling class. King James also had all forty-seven (47) scholars put to death after they completed the translation because King James did not ever want this information revealed. A secret evolved from this act of religious deception and some scholars have determined that there were some “Lost Books of the Bible”. What did these books contain? Why were they removed from the Bible? How has this affected Christianity as a religion? These are intriguing questions, which I am quite sure have been investigated by theologians and religious scholars. This researcher will not be seeking to answer these questions because our focus is on Freemasonry. (Reference: Tim C. Leedom; The Book Your Church Doesn’t Want You to Read).
The Bible is held in high esteem in Western Masonic lodges and is viewed as the “Great Light” but unlike the Christian Church it is not accepted in the Masonic lodge as the only and final word of God given to humanity. Yet, many Christian critics have argued that a true Christian can not be a Mason because the Masonic “theology”, which is not an accurate depiction or characterization of Masonic philosophy; however, according to the Christian critics, most of the Masonic exegeses are not consistent with the Christian religious creed. Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three world great religions, all share principles that are compatible and in direct correlations to the Masonic worldview, but true association is seen even further in the Gnostic, esoteric and occult interpretations of these faith traditions. (Reference: E. M. Stroms; Should A Christian Be a Mason?)
For example, Judaism was practiced by the Hebrew Israelites long before the Khazars and the Ashkenazi (European Jews) migrated from Eastern Europe and Asia to modern day Israel (Palestine) or before Theodore Hertzl echoed the call for a Zionist movement in the 1880s or the Balfour Declaration Treaty in 1917 that culminated in 1948 with the establishment of the State of Israel. The original Hebrew Israelites were of African origin and all biblical evidence verify this contention and the wise and learned from this nationality were initiated in the Egyptian Mystery Schools. The first Masonic styled school of initiation where as scholars and intellectuals came from around the world to be initiated into what later became known as Speculative Freemasonry (Philosophical High Science) espoused in ancient
The Egyptians (Kemities) had been teachings immortality long before the allegorical legend of Hiram Abiff was introduced into Freemasonry as a biblical prototype of the Egyptian Osirian Myth (birth, death, resurrection and ascension), which predated even the story of Jesus. Scholars like Wallis Budge in his monumental book titled “The Egyptian Book of the Dead” and the “Egyptian Coffin Text” that eloquently investigate the importance of immorality within the Egyptian perception of the schemes of nature—life and death is synonymous (rise and fall of the summer and winter solstice). (Reference this author’s article titled, “Christmas: Jesus--The Sun God, Lies, Deceptions and the Truth.” Jesus the Christ (Yeshua Ben Yosef) of 2000 years ago was taught in the Egyptian Mystery Schools and this is why from age twelve (12) to the age of thirty (30) there is a void in the Bible and lack of historical continuity of Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) life and ministry. (Reference: Zachery P. Gremillion; African Origins of Freemasonry).
Moreover, for eighteen (18) years Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was being initiated into the Egyptian Mystery Schools (Jesus had reached priesthood after his 18 years of study). Also, ironically Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was a carpenter (interpret to mean he worked with the 24 inch gauge, common gavel, square, level, plumb line, etc) and had the tools to raise man from a “dead level to a living perpendicular on the square, 90 degrees upright.” Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was student of Operative and Speculative Freemasonry. The numerology plays out like this 1+8=9, nine (9) is a Masonic number, which represents completion; 1 + 2 =3; Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) reappear at age 30, the three (3) occurs again and Jesus Ministry ends at age thirty-three (33). And on the third (3) day Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was resurrected from the grave. He represented the Trinity (3 divine entities the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost). (Reference: Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of All Ages).
The number Three (3) is a spiritual number and is highly recognized in Masonic numerology (the 33rd degree, is a honorary conferred and terminal degree in Freemasonry bestowed by the United Supreme Council ordinarily in an elaborate four day to a week long initiation ceremony held in Washington, DC). The attendees at these 33rd degree conferment ceremonies could be classified as a Who’s Who amongst the movers and shakers in the world—attended by U.S. presidents, foreign presidents, supreme court justices, ambassadors, top level politicians, business executives, etc. It took Jesus just three years to enact a historical legacy that has shaped human history for the last 2,000 years and those that direct the world today are doing it on just thirty-three (33) degrees of knowledge.
Dr. Malachi Z. York (Formerly known as Imam As Sayyid Issa Al Haadi Al Mahdi) stated that, “The Dead Sea Scrolls of the
This writer in March 2008 was in Barnes and Nobles looking to purchase another book that was out of print and looked over and saw this thick reference book written by John Michael Greer titled, “The Element Encyclopedia of Secret Societies and Hidden History” this reference books is a very good resource for those who are engaged in this type research. This writer believes that Essenes, a fraternity of wise men whom Jesus belonged had all the makings of an early styled Masonic organization. Greer Stated: Essenes a sect of Jewish mystics active in
Freemasonry has always coexisted quite well with Judaism, as well as with the teachings of the Torah and the Talmud, but it found more of a comfort zone in embracing the esoteric principles represented in the Jewish Kabbalah tradition and the teachings of the Jewish Kyballion was more of a liberal teachings than the rigid theology associated with traditional Judaism. The same for Islam, it would be Sufi Islam and its paths to Allah (God) that would be the spiritual sanctuary that the teachings of Freemasonry has always found compatibility, which to express its spiritual teachings beyond traditional organized religion. Shia Islam and Freemasonry allegedly share some historical roots (this slant or propaganda is put forth by the Mystic Shrine and is not wholeheartedly embraced by Shia Islam). Also, Islam provided the Masons with the Ismailism and unlike Sunni Islam, which for the most part has always viewed Freemasonry as being anti-Islam and its teachings as heretical (refer to this authors article titled, " Freemasonry and Islam: What do They Share?"). The Sunni Islam in some circles teaches that Freemasonry is a Zionist inspired organization bent on destroying Islam and in some Islamic societies like Saudi Arabia the teachings of Freemasonry is outlawed and one could be punished under the strict Islamic laws advocated under the Sharia. (Reference Arkon Daraul: Secret Societies: A History).
However, in other so-called Middle Eastern nations such as
The legendary Hiram Abiff, the so-called Master builder of King Solomon’s Temple who left his unfinished work on the Trestle Board due to a conspiracy, these present day low level operatives will not be deceived by any Ruffians and they have been ordained to complete the Temple (the building blocks for the New World Order and the one World Government). Most Americans, in particular and people the world over in general, have no clue that the United States economic recession, the Subprime mortgage scandal, inflation, the astronomical gas prices, weaken of the U. S. Dollar, the forging ahead of the unjust war in Iraq, rising cost of agriculture—food commodities, etc., are not coincidental or unpredictable political, economic and social phenomena--many are unaware of the true cause and effect that drives these so-called crisis, which is at the finger tip and pulse of a small, but powerful Elitist group of men and it is they who determines all international monetary systems and in a soft way they have called for the international debt. (Reference: Gary Allen and Larry Abraham None Dare Call it Conspiracy)
President George W. Bush and the United States Congress are active participants of the Elitist agenda and have helped in the last eight (8) years to further financially empower these invisible men to the detriment of the
These issues are often discussed even outside our elected officials. This Inner Circle are often initiated into various Freemason styled Orders, which most of the Islamic Nations leadership are card carrying members and have taken Masonic obligations outside of their confession of faith-- Shadaah (where Muslims utter in presences of Muslim witnesses that he/she “bears witness there is no God, but Allah and Muhammad Ibn Abdullah is his Messenger”). But money and power has led to Many high profile Muslim leaders embracing the West in order to continue receiving the crumbs that fall from the rich man's (
Lastly, this writer has constantly challenged Prince Hall Masons, the African American fraternity to pursue Masonic research and scholarship in order to have a larger voice in the arena of Freemasonic ideas. Freemasonry is a vast and complex subject with many turns—pros and cons that is begging for students of Prince Hall Masonry to offer an interpretation and stop looking to be led intellectually by outside scholars and researchers. No, one person or group of persons have a monopoly on Masonic knowledge and it is open to all who seek to engage. The black Masons uses the obligations they swore to honor and uphold as a weak and lame excuse for not writing Masonic history because the obligations (Enter Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason) forbade and instruct the Freemason not to write, carve, print, mark, utter, speak—a word, sign, symbol, etc., of Freemasonry to the non-initiated or communicate the same to a person you know that has not been “ Tried, Never Denied and is Ready to be Tried Again.” This creates fear relative to what is permissible, which most Freemasons do not desire to be in violation of the solemn oaths because the old arcade penalties given and recited during the ceremonies strikes fear in the initiated Neophyte. This writer does respect such honor, but we must rise above these fears and find the proper balance which to explore and critique this age old Craft. “Whence came you?” “From the Lodge of the Holy Saint Johns of

So tell me...what is a Mohammaden?
YOU who wants to keep it real. YOU... Mr. Think Tank...please...I am in suspense....can you tell me what a Mohammaden is?
I am looking at the paragraph that begins with the name Albert G. Mackey.
His use of the word Mohammedan is valid in the context in which it was used.
Looks like Rhiannon, our resident pitbull anti-Zionist is jonesin' for another beef with Fahim Knight. Sic 'em, girl!
;)
so what version of bafomet are you fahim? it_s so intruiging! let me guess; you're not a practical mason.
Rhiannon let me try to explain to you about citations and research documentation. Researhers use primary and secondary sources as citations to assist them in their quest to get at the truth. The Albert G. Mackey QUOTE and the terminology of "Mohammedan" was perhaps exemplified in rhe 1850s. This writer right next to the phrase added the correct term of Muslim. A quote is a quote, but you are so sensitive about your Whabbism and trying to protect those Zionist inspired Saudi Arabian Clerics that you would come on this site making an ignorant statement relative to a reference notation. My nine year old daughter understands citations, There is a good resource book for citations by Kate Turabin,
Stay Awake Until We Meet Again,
Fahim A. Knight
a term used by whites in the past to describe Islamic people.
Grim Reaper there is no doubt that the term "Mohammedan" is insulting and degrading to Muslims and the Islamic religion. I was quoting a source, as the language appeared in the context of the book. I did put in parenthesis next to the term 'Mohammedan" (Muslim). Thus, indicating that I was fully aware of term and the degrading perception Muslims have been called "Mohammedan". I know that Muslims do not worship Prophet Muhammmad Ibn Abdullah (PBUH), but Alllah (God). But some of these religious fanactics think that Islam is a above critique and this is where I disagree. I am for Free Thinking and Tolerance, NOT THE SHARIA.
Stay Awake Until We Meet Again,
Fahim A. Knight
Now you finally say what I was demanding that you say in the first place. You know DARN WELL that I am aware of the citation, the QUOTE, of this one albert mackey. But that was not my POINT.
My point was: Why do YOU put the quote up? Why do YOU put up the stunted logic of this mackey person? You had to have me come on the comments demanding an answer of what a "mohammaden" was....and NOW you clarify things.
Otherwise, you would not have.
Who really is the "religious fanatic" here, anyway?
Your so-called "free thinking" and "tolerance" is just a little too unfocused, a bit too muddied up for any "quest for truth" to even begin its journey....not if you're going to put up the works of such drivel as that of albert mackey and a handful of others you have listed previously which are just too much grey shades for any clear TRUTH to come through.
YOU should have put in your post what you put in your comment when you were addressing grim reaper! - and not to have waited for me to come on to ask you a simple question.
- - - - - - - -
Now what are you on about?
Islam is above critique and this is where you disagree? YOU TELL ME...what is there to critique in the Quran. Do not talk to me of sharia, sunnah, hadiths, and wahhabism mr. not-so-clear-minded!
Do not mix it all up with your arabian wahhabi clerks or any other "muslims" who may fall under the category of apostate and zionist.
Do not mix Islam / Way of Life with people's bent up perceptions of what they think Islam is - namely yours.
You had better make yourself completely clear - with references from the Surahs! - and not make the same mistake you made in your post where you would have readers believe that mohammadens = Muslims ....which is a total unadulterated lie.
No COZ….NO.
This ridiculous term “mohammaden” is not valid in any context..... Muslims are not "mohammadens".
And honestly, COZ, your LINK is not right.
I don’t give a fig newton how many citations, books, or how many so-called scholars have used this term “mohammedan” or how many times they make the horribly false assumption that Mohammad was the founder of Islam.
Islam is not 'Mohammadenism' nor are Muslims 'Mohammadens'
Here are Four essential reasons for this:
a) There is no basis for these words in the Qur'an.
b) Islam is the Arabic word used in the Quran for the 'way of life of those who submit to God. (Muslim in Arabic)
c) The use of 'Mohammadenism' gives the impression that Islam was founded by Muhammad. This is a mistaken belief as Muhammad was commanded to say: "... I bring nothing new; I bring the same message as previous messengers." (Quran 46.9).
d) The use of 'Mohammadenism' nullifies the universality of Islam.
In the case of Islam i.e. Monotheism, the very name of it represents an ideology and the people who subscribe to this ideology are adherents to no one but One God.
Westerners, and especially those who embrace zionism, rather than accepting the inherent truth in the words like Islam or Muslims, they contenmptuously coined the terms Mohammadism and Mohammadens in the hopes of branding Muslims as non- Monotheists belonging to a fraternity of a personality or a cult of some sort – which is totally AGAINST GOD and the right way to live.
I defer to your more informed position on the contextual validity of the word Mohammedan. I'm no expert on Islam.
Thank you for your emotional reponse and defense of your limited understanding of notation and citation; moreover, scholars and social scientist do not have to adhere to fanactism our obligation is to be objective as possible and allow the research to speak and defend it-self. I am not binded to observe religious myths or to give into religious Zealots. My job is to report the facts, Albert Mackey is perhaps one the greatest Masonic writers in history and I respect the time frame and the lexicion that he was using in the 1800s. Westerners had a serious misunderstanding of the religion of Islam and some the early recorded history that was written by Westerners were perhaps more out of ignorance than malice. But you continue to push your dogmatic views and have forgotten the imperialistic history of Islam in Africa and other parts of the world. They have always used the Holy Qur'an as a missionary tool; just as the Christians used the Bible. They came Africa in the 8th Century as colonizers and with this so-called Islamic superioty and even Bilal Ibn Rabah, the first Muezzin (caller to prayer) a jet black Ethiopian who was chosen by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to lead the righteous(Ummah) in prayer, but racism in Islam rose its head---one of the Caliphates Abu Bakr a close companion to the Prophet had to be checked.. I have been to Mecca and Medina and I have seen white Arabs discriminate against their dark skinned Muslim brothers in the name of Islam, Moreover, where ever there exist a black--white dynamic, the white Muslim portrayed himself superior. Many of these Quranic toting Muslims even 2008 is involved in slavery. Look at Dafur, Sudan, Africa, where these Wahabbi inspired Muslims of Sudan is committing Genocide against the dark skinned Africans of that nation. Muhammad (PBUH) said three generations after me, they will not be of me. You want us to believe and accept some Islamic Utopia, but the Islamic contradicts makes Mackey 's writing minute in error and he just like the Islamic imperialist have a warp view of history. Yes, tolerance and free thinking allows for unemotional reasoning and arnn't willing to allow religious dictators pose their myths, folkways, magic, mores, tradition, half-truths, etc.,on us and then demand that humanity accept and not question religious authorities. Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, at least this is what the theology advocates and the Qur'an allows for the Christian, Jew and the Sebian to be judge on what they believe. The war is between right and wrong and good and evil. You need to began by cleaning house throughtout the Islamic worlld. Once again I wouldn't give 2 cents for organized religion, Free thinkers can not be confined by superstious ideas popular known as religion. You can not defeat me in an Islamic debate. I have studied with some the best Sheiks, Mullahs, Imams in the Islamic world as it relates to the Qur'an and the Sunnah (Hadiths). You really do not know who you are dealing with. You better send me your Imam and let me deal with him. Please give him the greetings of As-Salaam Alaikum.

The size of your big fat ego:
FK - "Look at Dafur, Sudan, Africa, where these Wahabbi inspired Muslims of Sudan is committing Genocide against the dark skinned Africans of that nation."
What you are is a GOSSIP. A whiney, meandering-about gossip. A zionist servant extraordinaire. Your job is to report fact? So ... start reporting facts and stop spreading gossip and myths.
How some people use the Quran is not the fault of the Quran and other people who read and live by the scripture properly. That goes for Christians and the Bible as well.
I don't blame the Bible and the planet's Christian population for the sickening behaviour of the "christian" zionists.
Why are YOU, mr knight, spreading ugly rumours about Islam and the Quran and all Muslims? You don't make yourself clear at all and you never once have. All of your posts are emotional garbage.
How convenient: Muslim slaveships? REALLY? You dare to marry the word Muslim with the word Slave?
If you are so hung up about "cleaning house" throughout the "Islamic world" [whatever the hell that means, my narrow-minded little beanbag] then I suggest you begin with your dear imperialistic wahhabi superior pals - the ones you know so much about. Set them down and have a pow wow. No one is stopping you. Go for the gusto! Ride your "truth quest" like a golden wave.
Strike up that flame and Godspeed, mr. knight!
By The Way:
Where are your sources / links for the wahhabi royals committing bloodshed against the people of Darfur - in the name of Islam, as you say? I want to see articles of this "fact".
"the white Muslim portrayed himself superior. "
Um ... white muslims?
" I have been to Mecca and Medina and I have seen white Arabs discriminate against their dark skinned Muslim brothers in the name of Islam"
Once again, I've learned something new today ... Arabs are Actually white!
According to my cat, who is a reseracher Fahim K is a paid parrot of Foxman & Louis Farrakhan when it comes to Islam.
Thank you both for your responses. Yes, the imposter Arabs classifies themselves as white, but we know that the original inhabitants were not those who occupy Hijaz (Saudi Arabia and the Middle East ) today. These are Johnnie-come lately miscegenated imposters, reference Drusilla Houston book titled, "The Wonderful Ethiopians" and Dr. Chancellor Williams book titled, "The Destruction of Black Civilization" and Yosef A. A. Ben Jochannan titled, "The Black man of the Nile and his Family". Thus, these books will give you a clear history of the original racial identity, of the people who occupied these territories before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Arabs. There is no doubt the Saud Royal family dynasty and monarch (imagine a religion that preaches freedom, justice and equality, but the gate keepers of the most holy city Mecca Mecca Southern Europe , colonizing southern European territories. You all want us to believe and accept this universal concept of Islam and its love for humanity. These Islamic imposters are in bed with the Israelis and the United States Zionist State of Israel

Since so many have been corrupted.. ahem..
Then religion isn't worth two-cents, hmm?
-Could join a cult, and worship your idol!
I do not know the difference between a religion and "cult". Thus, there are so many similarities between the two. Most religions are just that "cults" and most '"cults practice some aspect of religion. I would perhaps in this day in time, take my chances with the "cult". I am not spooked by God and devil. Could you explain the image you presented and define for me the difference between a "CULT and RELIGION?

so there.
Show me video clips of the wahhabi royals SLAUGHTERING the people of Darfur.
Show me the connections – ALL OF THEM.
Stop screaming “SHARIA” like an unhinged egghead and back up what you say. There are much more insidious, more dangerous terrorists feeding off the wahhabi tales and fortunes, only we never see them.
You’re just scratching the surface, mr. Night. You are too shallow, always stopping short, you don’t go deep or long enough with any of your "research".
Everything you have said about Darfur, we have all heard before and we have heard it through the Zionist media and the great punk Zionist jew, Charlie Jacobs.
Well you know what they say: There are no bad students only bad teachers.
NO THANKS.

NO, I WILL NOT JOIN your empty OTO.
Despite Fahim Knight's arrogant manner, I'll have to agree with him on one point, and I think LAV would concur: that religion is essentially cultism. The defensive zeal of those that would disagree only serves to reinforce the validity of the assertion.
Religion is embraced by the majority and accepted by society; cults are fringe [minority] groups and shunned by it. That's the only thing that separates the two, as far as I'm concerned. Both are defined by systems of belief, and rigid dogmas. Both eliminate unrestrained freedom of thought, and both are products sold to those that seek a template on which to construct a worldview.
I'm not on anyone's side here, just expressing an opinion.
many religious groups and writings have been corrupted.
There is no freakin' way that would drive me to join!!
(you see my point, don't you?)
You are right in some definitions there COZ.. What we're actually talking about (besides the obvious distraction)
is what the idolater would call 'Good vs. evil'.
(All vs. zero)
Evil begets NOTHINGNESS in the end.
To worship idols, be they human or statues,
is the biggest mistake: the only fatal one.

The 'Nation of Islam' Exposed
A. Idris Palmer
Louis Gene Walcott Farrakhan is not a Muslim, nor is his doctrine Islam. Farrakhan is the leader of a black racist cult called "the Nation of Islam," (NOI) founded in Detroit, Michigan in the 1930's. While the group calls its followers Muslims, in reality, they have very little to do with the faith of Islam. Islam believes in the total transcendance of almighty God (called in Arabic, Allah), the NOI teaches that black people are angelic gods. Islam maintains universal brotherhood, the NOI says that Islam is for blacks only. Islam teaches that prophethood ended with Muhammad ibn Abdullah, more than 1400 years ago. The NOI teaches that Farrakhan's teacher, Elijah Muhammad, is the last prophet. Islam teaches principles of spiritual and moral decorum such prayer, fasting, charity, pilgimage, etc., Elijah Muhammad cast these out or altered them beyond recognition.
Yet, it is an error to oversimplify the issue by denouncing Farrakhan's racist diatribes while playing down Farrakhan's God-is-a-man and Prophet-after-Muhammad beliefs. Racism has very little to do with the issue. Sure, racism is contrary to Islamic principles and Islam rejects it. However, the deviation of Elijah Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan are MUCH more serious than racism. It is the sin which Allah DOES NOT forgive. If Farrakhan would leave his man-is-god and prophet-after-Muhammad beliefs, but was still a raving racist, he would be much better off than the other way around! Let me say very clearly, that there is NO ideology on the face of this earth which could be farther from Islam than that of Louis Farrakhan. NONE!
The 'Nation of Islam' Exposed
A. Idris Palmer
Louis Gene Walcott Farrakhan is not a Muslim, nor is his doctrine Islam. Farrakhan is the leader of a black racist cult called "the Nation of Islam," (NOI) founded in Detroit, Michigan in the 1930's. While the group calls its followers Muslims, in reality, they have very little to do with the faith of Islam. Islam believes in the total transcendance of almighty God (called in Arabic, Allah), the NOI teaches that black people are angelic gods. Islam maintains universal brotherhood, the NOI says that Islam is for blacks only. Islam teaches that prophethood ended with Muhammad ibn Abdullah, more than 1400 years ago. The NOI teaches that Farrakhan's teacher, Elijah Muhammad, is the last prophet. Islam teaches principles of spiritual and moral decorum such prayer, fasting, charity, pilgimage, etc., Elijah Muhammad cast these out or altered them beyond recognition.
Yet, it is an error to oversimplify the issue by denouncing Farrakhan's racist diatribes while playing down Farrakhan's God-is-a-man and Prophet-after-Muhammad beliefs.

Strictly speaking, a cult is an exclusive system of religious beliefs and practices. Not every religious belief system qualifies as exclusive.
Yes, Fahim' manner is arrogant, his attempts to label his detractors as zealots is disingenous, and I find his pompous Murrowesque sign off is enough to send anyone to sleep. However, he can hardly be taken to task for using the tem Mohammedan when it was used in the context of a quote from another source.
First of all, it is "Darfur", and the conflict is not fundamentally inter-religious, it is not inter-ethnic, it is a form of class warfare between the settled agrarian classes, the nomadic pastoralists and the merchant classes.
Sudan is subject to increasing resource scarcities, and the conflict is, above all else, a conflict about resources and who controls them. If the sides in this conflict neatly fall into different ethnic groups, that is coincidental to the fundamental reason for the conflict. To attempt to paint the Darfur situation as a exclusively racial conflict or even worse, a conflict inspired by religious differences, is either missing the point or engaging in dishonesty.
At times when resources are scarce and competition for them ferocious, there are always those who seek to disunite the impoverished and the suffering, to divide them along ethnic or relgious lines, to have them blame each other and ultimately to fight each other.
As far as I am concerned anyone who encourages a people to focus on the small things than make them different rather than discover the commonalities in their collective experiences. and in doing so discover the cause of their suffering and the reason for their struggle, is (whether they realise it or not) working on behalf of those who seek to keep us divided so they can continue to profit from our divisiveness.
This coverstion digressed from my original topic titled, "Freemasonry:Why is it so Inriquing". I quoted a source, in which the author Mackey used the term "Mohammedan",the wring was from the 1800s. This angered what ever his name is, who is a Muslim and I know most religions are based more on emotionaism than sound reason. He attacked me for daring to quote a source usig the term "Mohammedan". Thus, I disagreed with him because quoting and citations are standard operaional procedures in doing research. Quoting a reference point has nothing to with whether or not I pesonally believe what another author is referencing. It become dangerous when a people think and impose censorship on ohers for daring to utter critique of their faith tradition in this case Islam. He went nto an immediate attack mode and did not desire to have a rational conversation minus religious emotinalism. I wouldn't give TWO CENTS for orgaized religion---be it Christanity, Judaism or Islam. They all are Cults and are intolerant of disagreeable opinions that might not be consistent with their religious worldview. Now, I am being accused on this site of having a huge ego because I defending myself againt religious dictatorhip and someone essentially telling me I had no right to quote a reference that might be offensive to Muslims thiis is the apex of religious arrogance. The Saud Family who are the gatekeepers of the Kaaba are corrupted to the core and their Wahabbism has replaced the true teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is equally corrupt. These these Islamic imposters finance reactionary Islamic regimes throughout the world. Yes, part of the so-called Arab Sudanese, the ruling class in Sudan who by my ethnic classifications are black (African), but in he 8th Century the northern part of Sudan was colonized by Islamic missionaries. Moreover, Islam turned Africans into so-called "Arabs" and in thought these "Arab Africans" looked at there new religion and culture as being superior to his African Christian brother to the south as being inferior (he too was black, but didn't consider himself Arab and Muslim) so an intraracism was devised by the Arab speaking Islamic converts in Norhern Sudan and they began their quest to impose Wahabbi style Sharia Laws against their so-called inferior brothers to the south being financed by Saudi Arabia using U.S. and Israeli made weapons who the Saudis buy from the CIA and the U.S. State Department. The "Arab" Sudanese has put forth Pan-Islam and their nationalism is strictly based on Muslim first and all others, which is the majority African is expendible.This Anti Defamation League (ADL) propaganda on EL-Hajji Abdul Haleem Farrakhan (Minister Louis Farrakhan) isn't worth dignifying. I am glad to see all the Big Guns weighing into this debate----Sullivan and others, we are missing one Celt Islam. Lastly, thanks to those who tried to be objective, but I do not mine taking on these religious Fanactics and if you are scared STAND BACK and I will deal with them by myself. Islam is not above critical analysis.

All that gobbledygook above from mr. coma knight [who begs US to stay awake] is exactly my point.
The term "mohammedan" was a clue! I have skimmed through knight's previous posts as well and I have seen a few CLUES of misappropriated dissension [JUNK, if you will] sprinkled all over the lengthy dull things.
That he put the term "Muslim" in brackets next to "mohammedan" is not enough for me.
All I did was ask him a question.
It doesn't MATTER to me that this knight person used a quote from another and the word "mohammedan" was in that quote, because judging from all of knight's day-long winded posts and the references he uses, judging from the stuff he reads, clearly I can SEE that he has no problem with the wrongful term "mohammaden".
And that bothers me.
This is no different from when he says WRONGFULLY [and passive-aggressively] that "Mohammad is the founder of Islam".
And because of those two very revealing items this further explains why he is completely unhinged about the Quran / Islam / Muslims - - - - and for what?
Because of a bunch of greedy dumb-ass cowards in arabia who live in palaces and call themselves "muslims" and live by wahabbist rules?
Am I going to paint the whole Christian world a bunch of pedophiles because of Warren Jeffs? Am I going to call Christianity an imperialistic / hedonistic institution because of the likes of Hagee and Roberston?
So it is okay for knight to marry the words Imperialism / Slavery to Islam /Quran?
Well I don't know about you guys...but I don't care for the peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches that screwed up fahim is serving.
"You cannot defeat me in an Islamic debate. I have studied with some of the best Sheikhs, Mullahs, Imams in the Islamic world..." You weren't the only one, knight. Over the last few decades, intensified in the early seventies, The White House had financed groups of military personnel and civilians to study with top Islamic scholars in Syria, Egypt, Arabia, Malaysia, etc. In your case, you probably studied with the likes of "Sheikh" Hamzah Yusuf, "Imam" Zakir Sayid, even "Mullah" Uhisab Dick Webb of the USA, possibly even with Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia, to lead congregations of "Muslims" as defined by The White House and to re-interpret Al-Qur'an. Note that the Palestinian founder of the Int'l Institute of Islamic Thought located in Virginia, was murdered couple of decades ago. The Institute is responsible for the translation of Al-Qur'an widely distributed in the US.
Get your feet back on the ground, knight, for until you learn to stop farting and crapping like the rest of us, you know no better than the rest of us.
No need to be arrogant of your knowledge for Al-Qu'ran 16:29 says:
So enter the gates of Hell to dwell therein thus evil indeed is the abode of the arrogant."

..Perhaps flahmbo will explain the 'two' Jesus remark that he made for the last day of hannukah?
Thank you Mr. Rhiannon-Steinberg, I hope you got something out of your review of my prior post. We really do not care what you think, that is that religious paternalistic attitude that these Cults breed into their parishners. You got it all wrong, I do not have a problem with Islam, I have a problem with religious fanaticism, zealots and their authoritarian approach to the social, economic and political world we all live-in. This "you are right and everybody else is wrong disposition" because they do not accept your religious worldview. Thank you for finally admitting and denouncing those Wahabbi crooks inMecca the so-called gatekeepers of the Kabba and I consider the entire nation of Saudi Arabia

Do all your fellow faculty staff have your writing gift, or is it just you?
Enter SUPERMAN! From my dispassionate standpoint, you are already losing badly because you fail miserably when it comes to addressing any of the points put to you. Your only answer to your detractors is to keep repeating the same poorly-argued thesis - a thesis that seems to be constructed solely to promote your prejudices.
For instance, you continue to repeat the lie that the Darfur conflict is inter-religious in nature, when it is clear that the primary cause is a severe resource depletion in the north of Sudan.
I'm not for a moment excusing what is going on there, but it does not change the fact that when resources become scarce, it is all too easy for ethnic or religious differences to become the nominal excuse for conflict. This problem is not alleviated by those who insist on avoiding the root cause of the problem at all and attributing the whole shebang to racial or religious conflict. Invariably they do this to further their own causes and promote their own prejudices.
I guess we only have your word on that one. You seem to have a grossly inflated view of yourself and your writing. If you came here to have your ego stroked, you are in the wrong place.
Ooooh! Should we be acting all scared now?
Stay awake? You really don't know how absolutely ironic your pretentious closing line is.
Stay awake? Yawn! Someone wake me up when this guy starts making some sense!
"..Perhaps flahmbo will explain the 'two' Jesus remark that he made for the last day of hannukah?"
Could you please define the term "flahmbo" because I want to give you an intelligent response, but I will not entertain ignorance. The essential question is did the man named Jesus ever existed and walk this earth? or is this entire tale is just MYTH with no true historical record or basis. You can read the works of Gearld Massey, Albert Churchward, Manly P. Hall, The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors by Kersey Graves, etc,. For more clarity, but there is another source, titled, " The Historical Origins of Christanity" by Walter Williams and he further deals with this issue. Now! just a teaser the "Son of God" Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was an old story based on the second SUN OF GOD (Winter and Summer Solitice) these are your two Jesus (all mythology). Thus, be sure to look at the spelling of the two 'SONS' and "SUNS". The article and the reach I did speaks for it-self. Do you want a further discussion about that post?

..that Jesus allowed himself to be crucified for our sins.
..you may be arrogant enough to reject this; your loss.
You can try to dress it up in cute terms inDarfur , Sudan , Africa it is what it is, Arab style Islamic ethnic cleansing that is based on a superiority teachings of Pan-Arabism and Pan-Islam that is being financed by Wahabbis of Mecca. No. I do not need my ego stroke. I meant every word I wrote, he can not defeat me in a debate on Islam neither can you. Now! Lets call that Super, Super Super Ego. I like all these adjectives, but I stand on the truth. AGAIN I WILL NOT GIVE TWO CENTS FOR ANY YOUR ORGANIZED RELIGION. You are trying to justify this Arab genocide because of a shortage of resources and economics. Why do not these rich "fat ASK somebody" Arabs come to the rescue (I wish I could use some more explicit terms) and solve the economics in Darfur , but they are covertly sanctioning the Genocide. The slaughter is based on RACISM (Bosnia

No. Jesus did not die for my sins; he died because he could not save his own life from the Roman Government; if you believe these fairy tales and myths. There isn't any real proof that Jesus every lived. But I guess you are your doing missionary work on this Cyber Space site. Just like Islam I will not give ONE CENT FOR CHRISTIANITY. NOW!

Fahim, I find it strange that you tend to see the conflict in Sudan as religious.
1. Invade
2. Install a puppet dictator
3. Crash the target nation’s economy
4. (a) Separate the natives into arbitrary groups (b) arm the groups (c) use a false-flag bombing or assassination to trigger a civil war that will clear all natives off their land
5. Some combination of the above

This brief article is on the origin of Christmas and its so-called correlation to the SUN GOD concept, which the western parable of Jesus originated; moreover, December 25 is the BIRTH OF THE SUN GOD and in reality, this fabrication and/or truth has nothing to do with the Historical and Prophetic man called Jesus (there are actually two Jesus, perhaps another subject for another time) and this propaganda is continually being perpetuated in the name of tradition. But the beneficiaries of the Christmas tradition have always been the merchant class in the United States and around the world, which accumulates over 75% of their annual gross sales and financial profits during the month of December.
Allauddin Shabazz in his book titled, “Symbolism, Holidays, Myths and Signs” The word “Christmas” means “Mass of Christ,” or as it came to be shortened, ‘Christ—mas.’ It came to non—Christians and Protestant from the Roman Catholic Church. And where did they get it?---NOT from the New Testament---NOT from the Bible—NOT from the original apostles who were personally instructed by Christ—but it gravitated in the fourth century into the Roman Church from paganism”
Tradition reaps in huge monetary gains and that HIDDEN HAND who do not believe in Christmas or Jesus---THEIR GOD IS MONEY and WE SHOULD CALL THEIR HOLY “PROFIT” GREED. This writer, wonders do the SUN—DAY School teachers admonishes that the worship of the SUN was replaced with the divinity and worship of the SON popular associated with the man named Jesus. This article should not be viewed as an attack on the faith--tradition of Christianity, But like the Reggae Revolutionary Artist Bob Marley’s use to sing “NONE CAN FREE OUR MINDS, BUT OURSELVES.”
Allauddin Shabazz book validates this contention relative to the commercialization and the nonreligious connection Christmas has with the birth of Jesus; in his small, but powerful book titled, “Symbolism, Holidays, Myths and Signs” he stated, “Christmas has become a commercial season. It’s sponsored, kept alive, by the heaviest retail advertisement campaigns of the year. You see a masqueraded “Santa Claus” in many stores. Ads keep the masses deluded and deceived about the ‘beautiful Christmas spirit.’ The newspaper, who sells ads, print flowery editorials exalting and eulogizing the pagan season, and spirit. Gullible people have become so inoculated, many take offense when told the truth. But the ‘Christmas spirit’ is created each year, not to honor Christ, but to sell merchandise!” (reference: Symbolism, Holidays, Myths and Signs” by Allauddin Shabazz).
This writer understand and humbly accept that a 4000 word theses place serious limitations on a subject of this magnitude where scholars such as: Gerald Massey, Albert Churchward, E.A. Wallis Budge, Josef Ben Jochannan, Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Godfrey Higgins, John G. Jackson, Kersey Graves, Cheikh Anta Diop, Manly P. Hall, John Henrik Clarke, Jacob Boehme, Arthur Edward Waite, G.R.S. Mead, Louis H. Spencer, H.G. Wells, H.P. Blavatsky, Ishakamusa Barashango, J.Van Rijckenborgh, Albert Pike, George Oliver, J.S.M. Ward, etc., have spent many years researching and writing scholarly treatise on the above subject.
This thumbnail sketch, is by no means, written to represent a definitive and exhaustive study on the this subject; there are to many links, which expands the schools of thought of esoteric, religious, philosophical, occult, metaphysical science and the truth extends to many cultures, far beyond the limitations of this research could ever begin to address. But it should not be viewed that the author perhaps does not understand depth and complexity of this subject pertaining to Jesus, a god of the Sun and the origin of Christmas.
E. Curtis Alexander (aka Mwalimu I. Mwadilifu) in an essay titled, “African Foundations of Christendom” he stated, “Christendom began as a Council of Bishops in Nicea, a city in Bithynia, in Asia Minor on the southside of the Black Sea. The Council was convened by the Roman Emperor Constantine. Many events took place at this Council and the formation of many theological and theosophical doctrines were established such as the Trinity, the name of JESUS, THE Virgin Birth and perhaps the biggest act was making of the Bible. The books that were not canonical at this Council are known to us today as “Lost Books of the Bible’ and the ‘Forgotten Books of Eden’ ” (Reference: “African Foundations of Christendom” by E. Curtis Alexander).
In a book compiled by William Josiah Sutton titled, “The Illuminati 666” stated, “There is no scriptural evidence that supports the Birth of Christ as being December 25th; but history says December 25th was kept thousands of years before the Birth of Christ, in honor of the pagan Messiah. Another name for Tammuz, the pagan-child, was ‘Baal-bereth’ which means Lord of the Fir Tree.” (Reference: “The Illuminati 666” by William Josiah Sutton).
The majority of the scholarship on this subject totally contradicts the Christian version of the man known as Jesus Christ, but reaffirms this story within the scheme of historical and mythological allegory, metaphors, symbolism, prototypes, similes, etc. There is a sizable amount of precedent evidence which informs us that the entire story of Jesus, as far as, his birth, death, resurrection, and ascension were not concepts indigenous to European cultures, it flourished in that region of the world after they came in contact with Ancient Egypt (Kemet).They borrowed the Solar God concept from Egypt. (Reference: “Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World” by Gerald Massey).
John G. Jackson in his enlighten book titled, “Ethiopia and the Origin of Civilization” stated, “A study of the images of ancient deities of both the Old and New Worlds reveals their Ethiopic origin. Thus is noted by Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie in T.A. Buckley’s CITIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD, p. 180:--‘From the wooly texture of the hair, I am inclined to assign to the Buddha of India, the Fuhi of China, the Sommonacom of the Siamese, Xaha of the Japanese, the Quetzalcoatl of the Mexicans, the same, and indeed an African, or rather Nubian, origin.’
Jackson continues on to state, “ most of the black gods were regarded as crucified saviors who died to save mankind by being nailed to a cross, or tied to a tree with arms outstretched as if on a cross, or slain violently in some other manner. Of these Crucified SAVIORS, THE MOST PROMINENT WERE OSIRIS, AND HORUS OF EGYPT, KRISHNA OF INDIA, MITHRA OF PERSIA, QUETZALCOATL OF MEXICO, ADDONIS OF BABYLONIA AND ATTIS OF PHRYGIA. NEARLY ALL OF THESE SLAIN SAVIOR-GODS HAVE THE FOLLOWING STORIES RELATED ABOUT THEM:---THEY ARE BORN OF A VIRGIN, ON OR NEAR DEC.25TH (CHRISTMAS); THEIR BIRTH ARE HERALDED BY A STAR; THEY ARE BORN EITHER IN A CAVE OR STABLE; THEY ARE SLAIN, COMMONLY BY CRUCIFIXION; THEY DESCEND INTO HELL, AND RISE FROM THE DEAD AT THE BEGINNING OF SPRING (EASTER) AND FINALLY ASCEND INTO HEAVEN.” (Reference: “Ethiopia and the Origin of Civilization” by John G. Jackson).
There is an overwhelming of historical evidence that the worship of the SUN GOD (which was celebrated by many names depending upon the culture and nation) Jesus was a story of antiquity that had played out on the stage of human civilization some thousands of years before the birth of Jesus who lived 2000 years ago and before Constantine concocted and devised the Christian Creed, which was designed to control how Christianity would be disseminated, as well as theologically protect the half-truths, distortions, and outright lies. They lied on Jesus, the Christ. (Reference: “The Historical Origin of Christianity” by Walter Williams).
Wikipedia online research engine stated, “December 25 was also considered to be the date of the winter solstice, which the Romans called bruma. It was therefore the day the Sun proved itself to be "unconquered" despite the shortening of daylight hours. (When Julius Caesar introduced the Julian Calendar in 45 BC, December 25 was approximately the date of the solstice. In modern times, the solstice falls on December 21 or 22.) The Sol Invictus festival has a "strong claim on the responsibility" for the date of Christmas, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. Several early Christian writers connected the rebirth of the sun to the birth of Jesus (sun/Son). "O, how wonderfully acted Providence that on that day on which that Sun was born . . . Christ should be born,"
Anthony Browder in his book titled, “Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization” he stated, “Auras, Aset, and Heru is the first story recorded in history of man of a holy royal family (the Trinity), immaculate conception, virgin birth and resurrection. Evidence of this Trinity is known to have exist.” (Reference: “Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization” by Anthony Browder).
H.P. Blavatsky in her monumental book titled, “Isis Unveiled” through meticulous research traces the original man’s history and culture back to Egypt (Kemet) which all philosophy, science, theology, and in essences human thought evolved.
she stated, “What Egypt taught to others she certainly did not acquire by the international exchange of ideas and discoveries with her Semitic neighbors, NOR FROM THEM DID SHE RECEIVE HER STIMULUS. ‘The more we learn of the Egyptians,’ observes the writer of a recent article, ‘The Marvelous they seem!’ From whom could she have learned her wondrous arts, the secrets of which died with her? She sent no agents throughout the world to learn what others knew; but to her the wise men of neighboring nations resorted for knowledge. Proudly secluding herself within her enchanted domain, the fair queen of the desert created wonders as if by the sway of a magic staff. ‘Nothing” remarks the same writer, whom we shall elsewhere quote, ‘proves that civilization and knowledge rise and progress with her in the case of other peoples, but everything seems to be referable, in the same perfection, to the earliest dates. That no nation knew as much as herself, is a fact demonstrated by history.”
There is no doubt that the story of Jesus was steeped in duality and shrouded in the mysteries, but the WICKLY WISE, the ten (10) percent who the Honorable Elijah Muhammad referred to as, “The rich, the slave makers of the poor, who teach poor lies to believe that the almighty true and living God, is a spook and cannot be seen with the physical eye. Otherwise known as the bloodsucker of the poor.”
Muhammad further maintained that December 25 was the birthday of Nimrod who is mentioned in the Bible (Old Testament) he is styled as a mighty hunter who is in opposition to God and he turned against the teachings of Moses (the law giver). Nimrod was born 300 years before Christ. Thus, he manipulated the teachings of Moses and set-up the early pagan empires such as Greece and Rome. According to the Bible he is the son of Cush. Nimrod killed his father and married his mother, whose name was Ester, and the Easter celebration is also tied to advent of Nimrod and the entire SUN GOD scheme. (Reference: The True History of Elijah Muhammad” Edited by Nasir Makr Hakim)
Moreover, when Nimrod’s wife (his mother) had their first child, he feared that people would lose respect for him, if they knew he was making babies through his own mother (it was a secret that they were married) therefore to fool the people Nimrod told people that the Holy Ghost had impregnated his mother. This was beginning of the GREAT LIE told about the birth of Jesus.” there is a lot in Muhammad’s lesson and was Christmas set-up by non-Christians who do not believe in Jesus Divinity, but has a stronger conviction to manipulate money and play on the theological ignorance of the people. (Reference: “The History of Nimrod” by Elijah Muhammad).
Manly P. Halls stated, “For reasons which they doubtless considered sufficient, those who chronicled the life and acts of Jesus found it advisable to metamorphose him into a solar deity. The HISTORICAL JESUS WAS FOR GOTTEN; nearly all the salient incidents recorded in the four Gospels have their correlations in the movement, phases, or functions of the heavenly bodies. Among other allegories borrowed by Christianity from pagan antiquity is the story of the beautiful, blue-eyed Sun God, with His golden hair falling upon his shoulders, robed from head to foot in spotless white and carrying in His arms the Lamb of God, symbolic of the vernal equinox. This handsome youth is a composite of Apollo, Osiris, Orpheus, Mithras, and Baccus, for HE has certain characteristics in common with each of these pagan deities.” Manly P. Hall whom this writer considers one of the foremost free thinkers in the history of mankind and he uncovers and interprets symbolism, signs and delved into ancient wisdom unlike any other this writer had read (Reference: “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” by Manly P. Hall).
We have been taught and perhaps more indoctrinated into believing that December 25, represent the birth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth who lived perhaps 2000 years ago in around modern day Palestine. There is some evidence that points to Jesus birth place being in the ancient city of Bethlehem, but most Biblical historians has argued that Jesus was born in Nazareth. but there was a plot and a conspiracy orchestrated by King Herod to kill the first born male; thus Mary’s pregnancy and Jesus birth became a top priority and secret, this cloaking and concealment was only necessary to protect Jesus from his conspirators. (Reference: The Jesus Scroll” by Donovan Joyce).
This next quote is from a book titled, “The Lost Books of the Bible to Jesus Christ, His Apostles and Their Companions” originally published in 1820 by William Hone. Most Christians do not know their were some lost books to the original Bible or perhaps this writer should say that a number of books were deliberate and intentionally removed from the Bible as an act of deception. Nevertheless, Hone stated, “Now Herod, perceived that the wise men did delay and not return to him, called together the priests and wise men and said, Tell me in what place the Christ should be born? And when they replied, in Bethlehem, a city of Judea, he began to contrive in his own mind the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. But an Angel appeared to Joseph in his sleep, and said, Arise take the child and his mother and go into Egypt as soon as the cock crows. So he arose, and went.” (Reference: “The Lost Books of the Bible to Jesus Christ” by William Hone).
December 25 had nothing to do with Jesus Birthday in fact his name was probably more like Yeshua Ben Yosef or Isa Bin Yusuf (Jesus the Son of Joseph) in accordance to the Amharic and/or Hebrew languages that were spoken in that region of the world, long before the English language was even a thought. Jesus was atypical of pagan tradition that evolved around the son god concept and there were many more world saviors who had similar histories of Jesus and many of the things we ascribed to Jesus were actually borrowed from more ancient cultures and civilizations. The birth, death, resurrection and ascension fables seemed have been concocted by money changers and merchants which as stated above, many of them do not believe in Jesus divinity, but the commercialization and the exploitation of his name is their only motive. (Reference: “The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors” by Kersey Graves).
How then did December 25, become associated with the birth of Jesus Christ? John King in his monumental work titled, The Celtics Druids: Seasonal Cycles of the Ancient Celts. King states “In fact, Christ birth-date was deliberately and artificially set, during the third century AD, to coincide with, absorb and supersede the pagan festival dedicated to Saturn. It is not even certain that Christ was born in the winter: many legends speak of his being born in the spring. The controversy caused by the switch from the old Julian calendar to the Gregorian persists in the popular folk story that Christ was actually born on 6 January, and that at midnight on the eve of that day animals kneel in homage to the Christ child in mangers and stables. Many of the original customs of the Saturnalia have survived into the Christmas celebrations with remarkable persistence. The theme of the advent and the Virgin Births is, of course, not Celtic or Roman, although there are virgin births in other religions and mythologies.” (Reference: “The Celtics Druids: Seasonal Cycles of the Ancient Celts” by John King).
King’s research points to the fact, that the entire Christmas tradition perhaps has it roots in pagan tradition (interpret to mean Christmas is a non-Christian ritual), which ancient people had developed sophisticated customs and rituals that pre-dated the birth of Jesus. The Ancients charted the universe son, moon and stars, thus developing agricultural rites that paid homage to the power of life and death as it was seen in nature (the Freemasons, Rosicrucian, Elks, Illuminati, Sun Gods of Kemet and quite naturally the Sun Gods of Ancient Greece and Rome), as well as others have relied in an interdependent manner on the winter and summer solstice for ritual justification and theological explanation. Nature dies (winter months) and it resurrects itself every year (spring time) and all of the above Societies, as well as Christianity developed elaborate customs and theological rites giving to some aspect of death and resurrection that was observed in natural creation. (Reference: “Secret Societies: Inside The World’s Most Notorious Organizations” by John Lawrence Reynolds).
Moreover, as the earth rotates on her axis the Ancients became infatuated with the mystique of the winter and summer solstice. The word Sol is a Latin word meaning Sun and word Stice mean to stand still and in scientific terms the winter solstice and the summer solstice are one of the ecliptic at which its distance from the celestial equator is greatest and which is reached by the Sun each year around June 22nd and December 22nd. In our hemisphere (North America) December 22, starts winter, in which days get long and nights get shorter and it was believed by the Ancients that the Sun died during this time, but the manipulators of truth switched and presented us with the story of Jesus, the “Son God” and then concocted a story that is very much inconsistent with the Holy Bible about the events surrounding Jesus birth. (Reference: Recapturing the African Mind” by Bruce Bridges).
For example, in the book titled, "The Book the Church Doesn’t Want You to Read", edited by Tim C. Leedom. Leedom maintains that, “It is also noteworthy that during the month of December, Bethlehem and its surroundings are subject to wintry cold weather, chilling rains, and sometime snow. One does not find shepherds with their flocks outside at night during that time. This is not a recent weather phenomenon… all of this indicates that weather conditions in Bethlehem in December do not fit the Bible’s description of the events connected with the birth of Jesus Christ---Luke 2:8-11.” (Reference: “The Book the Church Doesn’t Want You to Read” by Tim C. Leedom).
Kersey Graves in his book titled, The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors, wrote about the historical fact that there were at least Sixteen Saviors that resembled the story attributed to Jesus Christ. He maintained that all of these world Saviors were born of virgin birth (immaculate conception), wise men predicted their birth, the heavens roared, born on December 25, died, resurrected and ascended to heaven. These various Saviors born on December 25th could be found in Kemet (Egypt), India, Persia, China, Mexico, Greece, Rome, Germany and all of them represented aspects of the Sun Gods who were deified long before the man, we came know as Jesus. It was at the Council of Nicaea (modern day Turkey) on May 20, 325 AD that Constantine and his Biblical scholars conveniently and systematically set-up Christianity (meaning the establish creed and doctrine) and in most instance it went contrary and was outright inconsistent with the original teachings of Jesus.
The two authors Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas in their book titled, "The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secrets Scrolls of Jesus" describes some of the challenges that the non-Christian Constantine the Great and the Council of Nicaea faced, “The result of the Council was the ‘Nicene Creed’, which sought to reconcile the differences between various Christian factions and to avoid doctrinal gulfs that had looked as though they might split the Eastern Church away completely. The rulings that emerged still provide the basis for most Church establishments today, covering many points of detail such as when congregations should stand and when they should sit during services. The central issue, however, was the problem of whether Jesus Christ was a man or a god, and if he were indeed a god, what was the precise nature of his divinity.” (Reference: “The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secrets Scrolls of Jesus” by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas).
Also, the entire system of Freemasonry is built on the on the Solar Deity hypothesis; thus, one can point to the allegorical story of Hiram Abiff (this story has no Biblical foundation) and he too is a prototype of the SUN GOD conjecture. Hiram Abiff was considered a Master Builder of King Solomon’s Temple and serve as a duality in Operative Masonry (Guild Masonry—Trade Skills) and Speculative (philosophical) Freemasonry and He is equivalent to Jesus in fact and fiction. Shabazz “Symbols, Holidays, Myths and Signs” stated, “In Masonry the sun has many symbols. One expression of the solar energy is Solomon, whose name Sol-om-on is the name for the supreme light in three different languages. Hiram, the Chiram (Hiram) of the Chalders, is also a color deity, and the story of his attack and murder by three Ruffians.”
The circumstances of Hiram Abiff’s death transcend earthly reality and moves into immortality (eternal life and the realm of infinity). Hiram Abiff was murdered at high noon by three Jewish Ruffians that conspired to steal his LIGHT (knowledge and wisdom). Death is viewed as temporary, no different than the changing of the seasons and Jesus life is styled as the zenith of the concept of immorality (Christians believe that Christ has ascended to heaven and is sitting on the right hand of the Father, but will return). Hiram Abiff’s fate is only temporary just as all the other SOLAR DEITIES which life and death is charted by the sun, moon and stars. Hiram Abiff like Jesus suffered a cruel death and was resurrected (He was raised from a dead level) from the grave in which he eventually stood Ninety degrees upright as a LIVING PERPENDICULAR ON THE SQUARE.
The Worshipful Master stationed is in the East (there is where the Sun Rises) and HE is considered the light of the Masonic Lodge and as the physical sun gives light which to set the earth into rotation, the Worshipful Master is styled as Wisdom and the Craft should radiate from his illumination and enlighten coming out of the EAST. The sun as it crosses the meridian sets in the WEST and this is the station of the Senior Warden and HE is styled Strength and in the SOUTH stationed Junior Warden, he is styled as Beauty. (Reference: “Who is Hiram Abiff?” by JSM Ward)
John G. Jackson in his book titled, “Man, God, and Civilization” he stated, “Interesting relics of ancient sun worship may be observed in the ceremonies, symbols and ritual of modern Freemasonry. According to Masonic Tradition, the word of Freemason can be traced back to ancient Egypt. It was derived from two Egyptian words, ‘phee” (the sun) and ‘mas’ (a child), meaning children of the sun or sons of light; and from this combination we derived the word freemason. A Mason is advised to travel to the East in search of light, for the sun rises in the East. The Masonic initiation rites like those of the ancient mysteries of Egypt, are drama based on the astronomical allegory of the death and resurrection of the sun, and the doctrines of the unity of god and the immortality of man; and these tenets are learned from Dr. Oliver’s Dictionary of Symbolic Masonry , that a lodge has their lights situated in the East, the South and the West respectively.”
Jackson continues, “They are so placed in allusion to the sun rises in the East, cross the meridian by way of the south and sets in the West. There is no light in the North part of the lodge, since the sun directs no rays from that area. Every Masonic Lodge Should be oriented due East and sets in the West because the sun, the glory of the Lord, rises in the East and sets in the West and in the lodge, the Master stands in the East, the Junior Warden in the South and the Senior Warden in the West, which positions are representative of sunrise, noon, and sunset, respectively.” (Reference: “Man, God, and Civilization” by John G. Jackson).
Perhaps the most colorful of all the SUN GODS was Osiris of ancient Kemet and in reality, this writer could have started this topic with Osiris ended with Osiris because of all the SUN GODS, it was from his legend that all other legends sprung. The Christianity Trinity perhaps originated in ancient Egypt long before Jesus the Christ. Osiris, Isis and Heru—is the father, son, and the holy ghost. These ancients’ tales were derived from agriculture and fertility festival rites. Osiris had a jealous brother names Seth (Satan) who conspired against him in a vicious plot to take his life just as the Cain and Able story of your Christian Bible.
Seth succeeded in murdering his righteous and innocent brother moreover, cutting his body—up in 14 pieces and depressed the pieces in the river to be ever lost. But Osiris had a zealous sister named Nephthys who desired to search the river in order to find Osiris to reconstruct his body. She found Osiris’ body, some historians say that she found his body in pieces scattered throughout the vast river with the exception of his penis. Osiris’ sex organ was forever lost. The Egyptian started constructing the obelisk symbols as duplication of Osiris lost penis. Osiris being associated in the larger scheme of the sun. However, there are many different slants to the Osiris myth.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. I know and respect intelligence once I hear it. See this is what people are forgetting, Islam is an alien religion to the continent ofAfrica . The original religion in that region was Coptic Christianity and in some early nations Fulasha Judaism. The Khartoum Government classify themselves as Arabs because they speak the colonizers tongue and converted to his religion of Islam; although they are black in skin color, but they identify with being Arabs and not African. Now! You did not mention the military and economic support that the Khartoum Government gets from Islamic Saudi Arabia and these Sudanese practice an Islam very similar to the Wahabbis of Saudi Arabia. I could see these ethnic, nationality, and religious antagonisms being carried out on different stages. I am not willing to give Islam a free pass in this over-all conflict. The SEVEN OIL SISTERS is perhaps definitely doing their thing, but the CIA and Mossad do have away of exacerbating the foreign policy for ulterior motives and agendas. Islam made the Northern Sudanese believe he is superior to his black non-Arab speaking country men to the South and this can not be overlooked. I do know and is fully aware that Great Britain and the United States

Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.
Of course you do, it goes with your supersized ego.
You dare to accuse me of weak commentary when you make such blatantly unsubstantiated claims? Where is the proof? I can provide the evidence that Sudan is undergoing severe resource shortages.
I suppose you are correct in the sense that if you are debating a brick wall, the chances of defeating it are slim.
You are standing on your own set of so-called truths invented to excuse your racial prejudices.
Neither do I. So what?
I am not justifying anything. Didn't you read that? Are you capable of reading anything other than your own pompous screed?
And the proof to back up your wild allegations can be found where, precisely?
HAH!
Ya GOT me fahim!....I surrender!
I will admit that I did belong to a very powerful cult from the 60s. There I was shrieking, hot tears streaming, my heart racing, my little fists pounding
