"Now for Kevin Ali
yes, I am considering registering in the nation but first there are questions that I have regarding the philosophy of the nation. I don't think that it is unusual to go on a Nation of Islam messageboard to ask those questions. I mean really. The last 2 times I went to a mosque to ask these same questions I was met with a cold, hostile reponse. A couple of days ago you posted that I should "register" so now as I contemplate registering I have a few questions and I think somebody on this messageboard can answer them. Do you have a problem with me posting questions regarding the Nation of Islam's philosophy on the Seventhfam message board? if so why? can you name a better place where I can ask in depth questions regarding the NOI? I already told you the last time I went to the mosque (Muhammads temple #11) in Boston the F.O.I. told me to come back later, same thing happenned in NYC.
As for calling you up on the phone, I appreciate your offer, but the best thing that you can do is post answers on the message board. I want to be able to read your inswer in written form. I will re-read it, and then read it again and if it makes sense I can work with it. When I speak to people in person I cannot re-play there response to double check it. I hope this make sense to you.
I hope I haven't offended anybody by posting questions on the message board. I thought thats what it was for.
Peace,
Abraham Apollo "
No brother I have no problems with you posting questions, it is just that you cannot be sure of the source of the answers, you don't even know if the people who post and answer are even Muslims or believers in Master Fard Muhammad and Messenger Elijah Muhammad! Your questions are very good and deserve COMPLETE answers, I just cannot type well enough to give you such, plus, to give you COMPLETE answers we must be somewhat assured of exactly who you are, in other words this Message board was not set up to be a substitute for the teaching and training you recieve from a qualified member or Minister of the FOI . A REAL MINISTER of Messenger Elijah Muhammad would NEVER turn away one of our people from the TEmple unless they were intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or dressed half-nude. Again I implore you to get in touch with us if you want REAL answers, if all you want to do is sit anonymously behind the computer screen then you are wasting our time and valuable server space! In the future , please respond to my posts directly under my posts, so it will make it easier for me to find our Message threads. Thank you brother!Anxiously awaiting your call so we can dialogue as brothers!
Your Brother, Kevin Ali
