My Mecca

El- Hajj Malik Shabazz-
And when I speak I don’t speak as a democrat or a republican
Nor an American
I speak as a victim of Ameikkka’s so called Democracy
You and I have never seen democracy
All we've seen is hypocrisy
 

Taqwa Jihad-
It’s too bad for those that buy into the lies
Thinking Islam can’t rise so they compromise
Claiming civilized cause they drive an expensive car
And the call their friends non-Muslims and not Kuffar
They feel pride when complimented on their success
Cause over seas they had less, now they have the best
From Allah they have been blessed, but give credit to these snakes
And do what it takes to please these fakes
Cause before they were here they used to go to sleep hungry at night
Now they are so full they can’t take another bite
And now they throw away more then they used to eat in a day
That’s why they look at me crazy when I diss the USA
Thinking their situation proves that this is the best nation
Can’t believe how they have been compensated for their integration
Instant gratification the capitalist basis of life
That why when it comes to Islam all they see is sacrifice

Can I do Dawah and still clear a G

Get all the newest things for people to envy

Everything has to be a benefit to how they are living
Before they even think about giving
That is why they won’t listen
Unless you have a show on tell lie vision
And sponsors make the decision to pay keep your show on
These corporate buyers get marking liars to make commercials to keep their product image strong
So while the nation watches your show, they see everything they need to try
All these new products, they think they need to buy
Hoping these products can put them a status above
They want be the people on the commercial so they fall in love
With material things and their accumulation becomes a lives purpose
Never see how emotions change and over time these products become worthless
Well, I guess you can’t see past their schemes, while you fulfill your dreams
They are the puppet masters and expensive things are the strings
So as long as you are happy you for a limited time
When you feel unhappy, you can bring it back for only a 19.99
And even when that wears out they got some more
More products you need to get, at the nearest store
See at their core is the need to get rich
So they design a system to keep them on top with no hitch
And leave you thinking that you have input in those elections
Leaving Allah’s straight path for different directions
 

"Weather you vote for the lesser of two evils you vote for evil"
Better get right the first time there is no sequel
Some feelings may get hurt, because of my work
But asking for a man to legislate instead of Allah to me is shirk
"Weather you vote for the lesser of two evils you vote for evil"

Islam and democracy Even if it was by the people, ain't equal
Lobbing politicians like they care meanwhile somewhere someone’s life isn't fair
You shouldn't even compare because of the American Dream the world has a nightmare.
Now that we have talked about how they have you strung
Lets see how the kept you down with the game they run
See this government ain’t what it claim to be
This isn't any true democracy it’s controlled by three?
First it is for the cooperation’s the real pimps in the game
You know those that own the generic and the brand name
They choose a few policy makers and paid for their education
 Let them establish think tanks for the policy of this nation
Last are the so-called politicians that they make you choose
Vote for in an election, and read about in the news
They implement policies developed by trained brains
To help their sponsors when in the cooperate games
See you think that these politicians represent you son
Not unless you made a campaign contribution
Mental pollution to think that a republican or democrat
Represents anyone whose pockets ain’t fat
Better check the fact, don’t believe this fable
Become complacent from scraps under the table
While other colonized countries gets none
In America we reaping benefits from unequal global wealth distribution
Were companies pay some one $2.00 a day
To make 10 pairs of shoes FOR $150.00 and us we pay
Turn it around and give us a job for $120 a day
To do nothing -----so we have nothing to say
But then we give it back to the government when we buy the shoes
Pay taxes twice, ain’t it nice how they get paid for the dues
This government SEE it doubles its money
Off an income and sales tax and it ain’t funny
It is all part of the american dream
For a select few and you are a part of the scheme
What I mean, thinking that everything is fine cause you living nice
Turing a blind eye to the third world’s natural resources the USA heist
From nations were citizens are left with zero
But a tyrant for a leader that you think is their hero
But most of you already know that, cause you from that
Why do you ignore that, and don’t think just react
These same companies that make the products you use
Is the same ones who make you like the politicians you choose,
And they pick who loose, just by telling ya the “news”
And don’t tell me you haven't seen the clues what got you thinking you can get your homelands protection in an election
Just wanna see what section buy your affection
A Republican and a Democrat, it all wack
Need to talk to those companies that control that
Just being macked and you relaxed
Just spending and counting your assets
Better fulfill your obligation
Forget voting need To establish an Islamic nation
Recognize Islam is the answer
And stop calling brothers working for the revival a cancer
Cause they don’t fit in your plan
To be an upstanding full fledged American
See these politicians are nothing more then a front to the people so it don’t seem
That the only justice you see is what the paper bring
Ask the dream team, the clought belong to the dead presidents and those holding them
While us Muslims get none and I don’t even wanna talk about are petroleum
They took from each and every one of us in this Ummah
Told us focus on a “religion” and don’t worry dunahh
Fake sheiks Saying material will ruin ya
Telling us better concentrate on the sunnah
That is why I won’t deviate
Follow the method of Muhammad to establish a state
Meanwhile brothers and sisters tricked in elections
Off the straight path of Allah in different directions
 

Islam and democracy Even if it was by the people, ain't equal
Lobbing politicians like they care meanwhile somewhere someone’s life isn't fair
You shouldn't even compare because of the American Dream the world has a nightmare.

El- Hajj Malik Shabazz- 
When we open are eyes today and look around America
We see America not through the eyes of someone who has enjoyed the fruits of Americanism
We see America through the eyes of someone who has been a victim of Americanism
We don’t see any American dream
 We’ve experienced only the American nightmare

-ANP

From amongst the fifty-two plus nation states they create

to develop hate between the once great Muslim Ummah

now devoured by this dunya.

They know the sooner we come together the better.

They want Islam gone forever, as we strive (in the cause of Islam)

things get hotter than the desert.

From the beginning, first inning, the likes of Abdullah Bin Sabah

tried to cause division even while the Sahaba were liven.

What makes you think in a time where Islam is considered last,

they won’t try and cause a clash, to keep the Muslims second class.

Remember Laurence of Arabia!! Pitted the Arabs against the Turks,

see how these divisions work?

While we concentrate on Wudhu and Salah they develop plots,

remember Ghulam Ahmad and W.D. Mohammed?

Elijah claimed to be a prophet!

Whats next on the agenda? Never befriend a kafir!

Our trust belongs with us they lust to see us fall.

Islam is a threat to manmade system stability so they create enmity

between me and my brothers to make us enemies!

Divide 1 from 1 it equals 1, add 1 to 1 it equals 2 I thought you knew! 

The miscalculated policies of the US administration in the Middle East are quickly depleting the country's ability to sustain its once unchallenged global position. Winds of change are blowing everywhere, and there is little that Washington's ideologues can do to stop it.

The above claim is increasingly finding its way into the realm of mainstream thinking, despite all attempts to mute or relegate its import. A recent speech by US Republican congressman and chairman of the House of international relations committee, Henry Hyde was the focal point of analysis by Martin Jacques in The Guardian. "Our power has the grave liability of rendering our theories about the world immune from failure. But by becoming deaf to easily discerned warning signs, we may ignore long-term costs that result from our actions and dismiss reverses that should lead to a re-examination of our goals and means," Hyde said.

In his poignant analysis - decoding Hyde's deliberately implicit thoughts - Jacques argued, "The Bush administration stands guilty of an extraordinary act of imperial overreach which has left the US more internationally isolated than ever before, seriously stretched financially, and guilty of neglect in east Asia and elsewhere."

Ironically, the invasion of Iraq with its "thousands of tactical" mistakes - as recently admitted by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice - was meant to solidify and ensure the US' post Cold-War global dominance. According to Jacques, as inferred from Hyde's notable speech, "It may well prove to be a harbinger of its decline." It can also be argued that the US adventurism in Iraq has provided the coveted opportunity to other countries to further their national and regional interests without the constant fear of US reprisals. 

In a recent interview, MIT professor Noam Chomsky, known for his sharp criticism of US foreign policy particularity in Indochina, Central and Latin America, delineated a new global political reality that is being forged as the US stubbornly insists on fighting a lost battle in Iraq. "What's happening is something completely new in the history of the hemisphere. Since the Spanish conquest, the countries of Latin America have been pretty much separated from one another and oriented towards the imperial power. For the first time, they are beginning to integrate and in quite a few different ways."

That integration is evident, according to Chomsky, not only by examining the rise of the Left in these countries and the almost immediate alliances - economic cooperation, for example - that these popular governments have achieved. There is a simultaneous rise of the political relevance of the indigenous Indian population in Bolivia, and the opportunities it represents to the Indian population of Ecuador and Peru. Moreover, there is a noteworthy South-South integration that is already breaking regional boundaries and significantly undermining the overpowering grip of the IMF, which has played the infamous role of the unfair middleman between the rich and hapless poor. 

China and India, on the other hand, continue to achieve astounding economic growth with China's economic might and relevance to soon surpass that of the US. In fact, there is an intense diplomatic clash underway between the US and China, since the latter has dared to violate the understanding of the Monroe Doctrine of 1823, which gave the US alone the right to manage its Latin American domains. For the first time, says a BBC analysis, a foreign country has challenged American influence in the region, and successfully so. Indeed, China is upgrading its economic relations with Brazil - both increasingly formidable economic powers - in ways that will eventually help Brazil break away from a domineering US hold.

These are all part of the "warning signs" to which Hyde was refereeing in his speech. While there are indications that Washington is finally waking up to this grim reality, which it has helped create, there are no signs whatsoever that a fundamental change of course in US foreign policy in the Middle East is taking place: the destructive war in Iraq rages on; the self-inflicting damage of unconditionally backing Israel in its endless colonial ambitions perpetuates; and the same detrimental policy line used with Iraq is employed, almost identically with Iran. US policy planners are as ever insistent on following the same destructive course that has compromised their nation's global standing.

Instead of paying attention to these woes, the Bush administration is trying to recover some of its Southeast Asia losses by signing a nuclear treaty with India, an action that reeks of double standards and miscalculations. The administration has also lifted the ban on sales of lethal arms to Indonesia in recognition of its "unique strategic role in Southeast Asia," despite protests from human rights groups.

Despite Bush's recent Ôhistoric' trip to India and other top officials' hasty attempts to reassert America's global dominance, there should be no illusions that the US' chief foreign policy debacle starts and ends with the Middle East - especially its Ôspecial' relationship with Israel. While the latter has served the role of the client state since its establishment on ethnically cleansed Palestinian territories, this relationship was significantly altered in recent years, with the pro-Israeli lobby taking centre stage, not simply by influencing US foreign policy toward Israel, but eventually by directing it altogether in the region.

The rise of the neoconservatives helped create the false impression that the US and Israeli policies are one and the same, including their mutual interests in maintaining Israel's military "edge" over its neighbors, which eventually led to the invasion of Iraq. While the neocons are washing their hands of any responsibility in the Middle East impasse, the Bush administration's arrogance is stopping it from immediately withdrawing its troops from Iraq and reassessing its relationship with Israel.

The world is changing, yet the US government refuses to abandon its old ways: militaristic, self-defeating and overbearing. Indeed, the US must remold, not only its policies in the Middle East, but also its hegemonic policies throughout the world. For once, the US administration needs to tap into its sense of reason, and discern the "warning signs", that should lead to "the re-examination of [its] goals and means." A first step is to bring the troops home, and with them the entire doctrine that unrestrained violence and perpetual wars can further the cause of an already distrusted superpower.
