Towards a Black Muslim Ontology of Resistance

[FAH1223]

Because Black Muslims are not perceived as Muslim, they face rogue Islamophobic violence less often—but when that violence comes, their deaths do not garner as much outrage or mobilize Muslims in the same ways. Around the same time three young Arab Muslims were murdered in their Chapel Hill home, a Somali Muslim man was shot through the door of his apartment in Fort McMurray, Alberta. While Deah, Yusor, and Razan’s deaths trended worldwide, Mustafa Mattan’s murder was barely a passing blip outside of the Somali community. In a thought-provoking article co-written by UCLA Professor Khaled Beydoun and Muslim Anti-Racist Collaborative cofounder Margari Hill entitled “The Color of Muslim Mourning,” the authors pointedly ask the Muslim community who they prioritize and why. “Deah’s fundraiser for dental supplies for Syrian refugees went from $20,000 before his death to $380,000. In contrast, Mattan’s family still is struggling to raise $15,000 for his burial costs,” they write.

The reality for today’s Black Muslims is bifurcated into a war fought on two fronts: a battle with one’s own community to be seen and respected as well as a battle to resist targeted state and vigilante violence. Black Muslims are also being surveilled, detained, and harassed by state operatives with increasingly alarming regularity. As Muslims, and as politically concerned citizens, we know the name of someone like Omar Khadr. How many of us can say the same of Mahdi Hashi, a Somali British national who has been stripped of citizenship and currently rots away in detention in Manhattan after refusing to spy on other Muslims? The Muslim community’s disinterest in his case speaks to the violence of what Frank B. Wilderson has termed “anti-Black solidarity.” Even when protecting his community, Hashi remains invisible."

when will somalis learn carabta don't give 2 shits about us? you can keep talking about this muslim ummah shit but at the end of the day, they don't see us as the same as them.

I don't think anyone is crying for the carabs to want us. We're just confused why there are so many in our community that want to attach themselves to the carabs eventhough they have shown nothing but outward hoostility toward us? I don't care about the carabs. I care about Somalis that would rather cry for Palestine or Syria than their own people.

It is f-king pathetic. The amount of selfhating coons in the Somali community has risen expenentially.

For the love of God, this article is about racism! It should be highlighted because of the double standards here. You have 'Muslims' from all background fighting for a cause, but they have to be even and fair. See waye

^ what that got to do with Islam and changing the status quo?

You fight for rights, you don't whine.

I for one heard of Mahdi Hashi and etc, but sadly have not done anything? That's our problem, lack of mobilisation and organisation. We should fight for our voice to be heard.

I see where this article is coming from.

SubahnAllah

I don't not attach myself to Arabs because they treat our people badly, I don't do it because we aren't Arabs. Their treatment of Somalis has nuthing to do with anything. Having a special affinity for Arabs to the exclusion of other Muslims is bizarre on all counts, because we share nothing more with them that we dont share with Muslims from Brunei or Dagestan for example. If your disavowal of Arab allegiance is due to their treatment of Somalis, ur inadvertently admitting being butthurt about being rejected by them. If someone I don't care about treats me badly, it wouldn't make any difference to me because....I dont care about them lol. Simple.

And as for u, ur a bootyclapper for addoons, so u have no say.

The piece is full of bullshit (as f'ing usual from these Black wannabes). The "UCLA Professor" Khaled Beydoun cited is a retarded Arab on Black Twitter. The case of Mustafa Mattan wasn't an incidence of 'Islamophobia' and in the case of 15-year-old Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein, the prep was a deranged Somali. Both Khaled Beydoun and the writer of this piece knew this.

I have never in my life, seen a group of people eagerly wish trouble and suffering on their own racial group just so they can get close to another racial group and hopefully become a part of that racial group.

It would be merely cringeworthy if the victimhood mentality and race baiting being propogated in this article wasn't so insidious and utterly destructive. These inferiority complex ridden, pro-black, feminist, social just warrior, cultural marxist Somalis need to be excised from the community like the malignant tumours they are, before they metastasise and infect healthy Somalis with their addoon cancer.

so lemme get this straight. you would rather IGNORE the obvious discrimination and racism targeted at somalis by carabs in their countries and communities simply because you don't like to be grouped with other black people who also face similar discrimination by non-black groups? LOL.

wallahi I wish you losers would live in arab countries. I'd like to see what you say then.

its only destructive if you actually believe you are inferior. somalis who are calling out the arabs for their anti-black racism are not the ones who are creating an inferiority complex. its the somalis who attach themselves to the carabs and claim to be carab are the ones who are more insidious and destructive to our community since they are inherently admitting that to be somali is inferior to being an carab.

somalis who are proud to be black and don't run away from the way the rest of the world (especially the carab world) views us are NOT the ones who are destorying our community. they are the ones trying to save it.

Is this what Snet has become? A platform for people with insecurities? Tue mods need to sort this site out good and proper, I strongly believe the level of rubbish spewed here is due to the recent barrage of new users signing up after Topix closed down.
