The Meaning of As-Salaam-Alaikum

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad

Transcribed from an audio-taped radio broadcast

To the radio audience, I am Elijah Muhammad, the preacher of Freedom, Justice and Equality, to the American so-called Negro. Not Negroes but are really lost and found members of the great Black Asiatic Nation from the Tribe of Shabazz as almighty God Allah has taught me in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad to Whom Praises are due forever for coming in this part of the world giving to us the knowledge of self, and the knowlege of others. The knowledge of God and the knowledge of the devil and making clear and understandable that which we had never before been able to understand of the truth. Today we are thankful, who have heard this truth coming from the mouth of almighty God, Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad. Islam! The Muslims greeting.... This is always greeted in the language of Arabic. Arabic language is that.....

The greetings, As-Salaam-Alaikum, which means peace - peace be to you- or unto you.

My. Dear. GOD.

I haven't see the English language take a beating this severe since I passed the gangsta rap aisle at FYE!

For pity's sake, Maxus-can't you see it's down!? Just...just leave it alone!!!

Alkeem is a Kabalarian name, btw. Guess your dad got muddled, Maxus.

I have just ploughed through this post, wow, some very testing alternative English in this one. But I think I have established the general plot.

They banned you because your are a whining, childish little pain. Who cares what color you are? You were in a club watching pixel women lap dance and the guy you tried to scam pulled a virtual gun on you. And now you can't go watch your cartoon porn anymore?

If you are really so concerned about race rights, Sir, might I suggest spending your time more productively?

Is it wrong of me to be dissapointed to the point of being disgusted that this thread has managed to stay alive this long?

Sim Down = massive boredome -_-;;

just to let you all know 4:31] Karen Linden: Greetings! In order to patch a known exploit, we need all users to log off of Second Life. The grid will be closed at 4:40am PDT for an update. I estimate it will take two to three hours to open back up. Please log off now!

Yikes, what a lovely flame war! Read page 1-3...then the last page, so I've probably missed some exciting developments. Anywho....

"If you give me one good reason i would get banned for a guy pointing a gun at me then you win"

I would ban you for so rapidly and inappropriately playing the race card, embarassing and insulting everyone who has spoken out against racism where it isn't just a delusion of someone who feels he's been slighted.

Musuko.

Wow i wonder if you happen to know your post makes no SENSE. Why does everything have to be about race? Is it because you know you dont have any other leg to stand on but the RACIAL aspect of the event that happen? I do agree with you that RACIAL discrimation is still happening everywhere, but thats just the ignorance of the world. I think that you should have just given the guy back his money and left the club instead of trying to use your RACIAL background as a stepping stone to bring some attention to yourself. Seriously dude its just L's and the amount that was given 9 times outta 10 wouldnt even buy you a pack a gum ( I love gum by the way). SL is a GAME enjoy the game for what it is and stop trying to make it in to something its not.

P.S. The caps are because dude is trying to sound intelligent but he can't spell simple second grade words, sighs @ the lack of schooling kids are gettin nowadays. Hooked on phonics worked for me

i disagree! i played as a black guy in SL 1 time cause i just LOVED this black skin som1 was selling, so i got it

perhaps you were being racist to the white guy byt taking the money and not paying for the lapdance?

PS - if you think this is serious racism :/ i guess you don know proper racism?

Not sure what to say. It sucks if they are racist but you have no proof of their racism and you just automaticly assume they are. Thats not very nice of you. Also try wording and punctuating your posts a lil better please. Hard to follow sometimes, especially this early.

I'm not a muslim but I play one in SL

Prayer rug and everything... and chip midnight pays me a buck every time I use it!

Reply first from radio guy that is funny and I totally agree with?

*edit* woot go me! do I get a cookie or somthing?

Down with Siggy! Send the bugger home!

LOLOL

I play a tiny robot in SL (sometimes). Where are the robot bars and robot sex balls? I feel discriminated against.

Although I suppose on the sex ball issues, I have all the onboard attachments I need.

Maybe - irrespective of gender, colour, sexuality or anything else ... people just annoy the owners of venues and when they keep on being annoying and disrupting the enjoyment of other patrons AND the staff ... then they have the right to kick anyone out they choose.

This includes, if someone is acting like an asshole, getting down to their level and becoming implicated by association. Has nothing to do with any form of -ism.

now why do i envision the movements of robot sex balls as being too... mechanical and repetitive?
>giggles!<

same here, i have a man avatar for making my men's clothes and i have an avatar with gothic skin, neither am i a dude (unless i was the first dude to have a child with no complications ever) and i dont have vampire dead skin in real life am and english irish italian with olive skin). I also ahve a black avi for my clothes modelling so i can appeal to a wider audience for my clothing. I also hvae a snoopy and a red rabbit avatar but in real life i am not neither snoopy or a cute bunny

I dont think its fair to call the "race card", i get shot, as do i shoot (only when griefers shoot me first) i have been banned and have banned, not just by "white avies but by of every race, but the first thing i assume is " the naughty little monkeys (obviously replaced with expletives) i dont think, ooo i have been shot because i have a white avi skin and they are racist, i look at the situation and make my jugdement based on the situation as oppsed to why they did it. Its walways safe to assume, you never know who is behind an avi so looking at racisism fist is illinformed.

I am not denying that racisim /sexism/ and sort of bigotry doesnt happen, because i would be a fool, but give people the benefit of the doubt,

Punctuation, man! It works.

If he said anything to you that was hate speech or a racist remark then report the incident and LL can check the logs to read what was said.

Sadly, racial and antisemitic sentiment is present in SL, not a lot, but it's there and every now and then there is an ugly incident. The people typing and moving avies around are real people and they bring to the keyboard the prejudice and hatred they feel in real life. Now that there are so many kids running around SL I expect we will see more of that. I hope you never have reason to encounter the neo Nazi element that is present in SL, but if you do, please know they have insulted others in the past. Also, racial, religious and gender intolerance is something that LL will not tolerate but you must provide proof that the incident really occurred. An abuse report at the time of the incident that includes a chat log is the best documentation.

All you can do is report incidents as they occur and take heart that you are not the lower form of life that bigots are. Don't let this incident ruin your SL and don't worry about being banned from a place like that. After all, why would you want to be there if you dont feel comfortable plus there are plenty of other wonderful clubs inside SL that you can explore!

I appreciate, and am thankful for all the brotha's and sista's out there, that play SL, no matter what the color of your skin is behind your avi. Be you furry, goth, vamp, gor, whatever, and you are the type of person that has always been kind, never offended anyone, not even by accident,you have always done, and gave your best to everyone you have had the opportunity to meet, and call friend, whatever you have to give, you give, and you have had some negative experience's in world, you got hurt, you got pissed, you got used, but you kept your head up, you didn't cry, you didn't whine, and you decided to hang on in here because you know that there are some truly awesome people here behind those avi's that are hanging in here too, just looking for someone just like you. Be you friend or lover, partnered or not. Every encounter with someone here is an experience. No matter what that experience is, someone just stopped by into your SL. Hang on in there.
Oh, by the way, if any would like to flame my post, flame on baby, I can take it.

once again my picture is on my SL profile shows i am black ok
