		<description>Assalamu&#039;alaikum

I saw that photograph of the tombstone of a Muslim who was involved in &quot;Operation Iraqi Freedom&quot;.  In Islam, a Muslim cannot take up arms against other Muslims.

If they do, they go to hell.  There&#039;s a Hadith about that.</description>

		<description>@benmaar - it would seem that your &lt;em&gt;modus operandi&lt;/em&gt; in this case would Jim Crowism of a different breed, but same intention. While Barack may indeed be half-white, he identifies as a Blackamerican.

Secondly, the notion that all other Blackamericans are some how of &quot;pure blood&quot;. This is bonk, as most of us coming out of the Blackamerican experience have full knowledge that we are a mix of other elasticities ranging from European, Indigenous American, Jewish and otherwise. Nonetheless, this has not detracted from our sense of blackness [as if being white connotes some sense of racial purity as well...].

And lastly, I would assert that your allegations are to simply undermine the accomplishment and significance of the first Blackamerican president in the history of the United States. With Barack&#039;s victory have come the nay-sayers, crawling out from under the rocks and wood work to try and downplay or neutralize a moment of national celebration for, but not exclusively, for Blackamericans. You comments are both uneducated, arrogant and most certainly suspicious of an alternate agenda.

Like it or not, Barack &lt;strong&gt;IS&lt;/strong&gt; the first Blackamerican president and al-Hamdulillah for that.</description>
