Sometimes that load feels heavy but the things I have to say are meant to touch people. I have no choice but to do this.” . SOURCE: THE OFFICIAL JAZMINE SULLIVAN SITE

Holy hip-hop artist, Flame, rocks and hip-hops for Christ. "To be born and raised in the inner city of St. Louis, immersed in a dominant hip hop culture, and heavily influenced by the ills of our society, the chances are considered bleak for one to become a successful byproduct of their grimy community. The childhood stories of many young men begin as such and rarely progress towards a sold out lifestyle for Christ. For FLAME, he was headed in the wrong direction until..."CLICK HERE FOR THE REST OF FLAME'S STORY

How bizarre is the biz of CHE marketing? On principle, almost everything in the world of free market capitalism that this mass murderer stood against is what is keeping his cartoonish image alive. It would be a stretch to say that anything historical is behind keeping the memory of Fidel Castro's hatchet man alive. As best as it can be said, it is all about the almighty buck that the face of Che Guevara is plastered on T-shirts, surf boards, watches, bodies (Tyson), posters, hats, and more.
Che's most famous quote -
"Don't Shoot! I'm Che! I'm worth to you more alive than dead!"
"One genuine accomplishment in Che Guevara's life: the mass-murder of defenseless men and boys. At everything else Che Guevara failed abysmally, even comically."SOURCE
..............................................
GOT CHE?
"There is no doubt that Guevara was inspired by Josef Stalin." "At one point he even took to signing his name as “Stalin II”. Today Guevara's face can be seen on t-shirts and posters in every corner of the world. He symbolizes an idealized revolutionary spirit but the truth is that Che Guevara emulated Stalin to a tee."
"After Castro took power, Che Guevara was placed in charge of the military fort known as La CabaƱa. While there he supervised and personally participated in the torture and execution by firing squad of hundreds of Cubans. El Che, to me, seems like the kind of guy who only felt alive when he had the power to kill a defenseless fellow human being in his hands. I doubt that he was ever really a medical doctor. I have yet to see one shred of proof that he ever graduated from medical school and have studied him intensely. In addition to the firing squads Guevara was responsible for setting up the gulag system in Cuba where people were imprisoned for such crimes as being homosexual and listening to rock and roll music. Just the kind of hero you'd want adorning the front of your t-shirt."SOURCE: trenblindado.com 'Exposing the truth about Che Guevara'

"India.Arie is heartbroken, and she wants the whole world to know it."
"Not only is her latest, Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship, essentially a breakup album through and through. It may very well be the first-ever inspirational breakup album"
"While a few hip-hop and neo-soul proponents have subtly championed spirituality and positivity in their music ...Testimony outdoes them all in terms of religious frankness. From the opening strains of the brief intro "Loving" to the breathtaking hidden track "This Too Shall Pass," it's a testament to India.Arie's strong spiritual pulse."
"But that's nothing new. Her previous albums, Acoustic Soul and Voyage to India, brimmed with clear-cut declarations of faith, but none as bold as those on Testimony." CLICK HERE TO READ THE WHOLE STORY BY ANDREE FARIAS OF CHRISTIANITY TODAY INTERNATIONAL ON THE FISH
Palestinian Hip Hop Artist Surrounded by 8 Gunmen in Israeli Airport
"British-born Palestinian Hip Hop artist, Shadia Mansour was surrounded by airport security and “intelligence officers” armed with guns on Saturday, September 4, 2010, in Ben Gurion Airport, Israel."
"Ms. Mansour was told to return to her luggage after a usual baggage xray and multiple searches, when eight agents ran towards her, weapons drawn and pointed, they aggressively kicked away her bags and surrounded her."
"The eight agents had their guns pointed at Ms. Mansour while having her stand in the same position for one hour in suspicion of a bomb being planted in her microphone which they had in their possession for ten minutes already."
"Although standard for Palestinians to be strip searched upon departure of Israel, Ms Mansour was made to lay down on her back as female agents pushed aggressively into her joints and neck."
"Once the female agents finished searching her the microphone was returned and Ms. Mansour was directed to her flight en route to London as though nothing had happened."
"Ms. Mansour told us “For a few minutes I really thought they were going to take my life, the way they handled the situation literally made me feel like I was an attempted suicide bomber that had just been captured or something”."
"this is a perfect example of why i do what i do, so people can have fun and vibe out and feel something. a lot of the comments n this youtube post talk about the old man being on some type of drug or whatever, but fuck all that. i know people his age that aint doin shit but watching golf and the grand kids. this dude is my hero and exactly how i wanna be living when im his age, still havin a good time just listening and vibing to great music. still feeling the feeling. go head old homie, you go head" Kid Cudi
"Heads turned during the filming of singer Erykah Badu's latest music video, "Window Seat." "The video was shot in and around Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. In it, Dallas native Badu walks down Elm Street while stripping her clothes off one piece at a time - until she's fully nude. Elm Street is the place where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated."
"Badu is completely nude as she approaches the spot on Elm where Kennedy was shot (which is marked with an "X" on the pavement). The sound of a gunshot can be heard and Badu collapses as if she has been shot."
"Streaks of blue "blood" then spill from her head as she lays in the street, spelling the word "groupthink.""CLICK HERE TO READ COMPLETE ARTICLE
Rapper Swizz Beatz in Serious Trouble With IRS "The rapper Swizz Beatz, and newly made husband of Alicia Keys, is being hit hard by the IRS for allegedly falling behind on his taxes. He allegedly owes $652,727 in unpaid taxes going back to 2008."
"As long as there have been black celebrities, there have been problems with the IRS. The actor Wesley Snipes recently asked for a new trial on his tax evasion charges, for which he was sentenced to prison. The boxer Joe Louis died in debt to the IRS, along with the great comedian Redd Foxx."

Wesley Snipes Gets 3 Years in Prison for Not Filing Tax Returns
"Snipes is by far the most prominent person in a small current of individuals and small business owners who have rejected the 16th Amendment, which in 1913 authorized the income tax. Asserting that the amendment was fraudulently adopted, these nontaxpayers argue that federal law does not apply to them and have stopped withholding taxes and paying the government. The Courts have rejected many of these assertions."

"The gruesome death of Ms. Hassan prompted outrage from pseudo-Muslim leaders after suggestions that it had been some kind of “honor killing” based on religious or cultural beliefs." No comment has been reported from orthodox Muslim leaders living in America or those living abroad in predominately Muslim nations where such 'punishment' of disobedient females is normal in the Islamic family structure.
Unconfirmed eyewitness accounts report to have heard Mr Hassan only make a two worded statement when arrested, "Praise, Allah" GET THE WHOLE STORY HERE
"Hip Hop music has typically been associated with the promotion of controversial issues such as violence, promiscuity, drug use and misogyny, but until only recently, with the establishment of groups such as Native Deen and Seven8six, the popular music genre has been used to communicate another choice, the message of Islam."click here for complete article
Is it, or is it not, Islam? What do the basic teachings of Islam have to do with the often vulgar, sexually explicit, and 'sinful' soul based genre of Hip Hop? On the surface, not much. Peel back a layer or two and behold, have we madmen with oppressive and demeaning characterizations of females and promoting of violent posturing?
Many Muslims reading this may have a different view of their claimed theological beliefs. The majority of these, like the majority of most who have claimed some system of religion, have not read from the source which defines their plan of eternal salvation.
Before you make a choice - READ!
"Do not sign on the dotted line until you read the fine print". How many times have we all heard that saying. This applies here. The most important decision you will make in this lifetime is what path you will choose to follow for your eternal condition. Islam is for some, but, not for everybody. The Bible tells that a place of eternal punishment has been reserved for many, for few will find the narrow way.
I like hip hip (or, hippity hop, as I like to call it). Like everything else that we encounter under the sun it has it's good and bad. I wouldn't have thought that it would be the best choice as a tool of radical Muslim conversion because of it's very sinful lyrics and videos promoting sex, drugs, and thugs which definitely clash with the basic teachings of the Koran. Actually, country music would have been a better choice!
There is more to the story than the media wants our eyes to meet. Madmen guising as Muslims are in the kitchen cooking up a mess of misinformation about just what it means to be Islamic. Are they part of a larger conspiracy to invoke fear and terror to solicit support and protection?
I like West. I am concerned with the push by well meaning politicians to make Muslim's more of a problem than they are. That is a CIA/KGB joint venture to control through war creation - - and, the Obama was even involved in his earlier years with the CIA as a field agent instigator in the Turk/Soviet conflicts.
Take away Islam's teeth to force conversion and submission and Muslims would flee from the religion of 'peace' in droves!! Especially, women!
DR JAMES DAVID MANNING OUTLINES OBAMA/MUSLIM/CIA/KGB CONNECTION.. AND MORE
What does it matter to me what somebody else believes... it's their eternity, not mine. I can say this and that is Joel 2:32 "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."
Allah is not the name of the LORD. Muhammed was a mentally ill madman. Islam has been spread throughout the world by violent conversion. And, a Muslim will live life never sure whether or not he has done enough to be saved.
Another thought... just wondering outloud... if a Jew eats pork, than is he a Jew? If a Muslim does not control his uncircumcised wife in public by forcing her to wear a burka than is he a Muslim? If an Amish drives a car is he Amish? If a Wikka does not worship nature is he a witch? If a Catholic believes the Bible is the final authority is he a Catholic? If a Jehovah's Witness celebrates Christmas is he a Jehovas Witness? If a Hindu does not believe in reincarnation is he a Hindu? If a Christian believes he is saved by his good works is he a Christian? - - - - - People can say they are this and they are that, but if they do not adhere to the traditional teachings of what they proclaim than what do we say? Are they or are they not what they say they are?
Your friend can practice some of the fundamentals of Islam, but not all of them, and still call himself a Muslim? . . . That is the foolishness of most manmade religions.. they cannot be followed and therefore the follower cannot ever be totally sure of his/her eternal condition.
Born again believers can follow the one fundamental belief and know eternal salvation - John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
