Peace my brother, how are you today? First of all, let us reach a common ground. (a.) I am not in an intellectual or historical battle with anyone. I've spent too many years doing that. (b.) You have the right to your own beliefs if it makes you a good person. (c.) There is too much history and cross reference for you to do before you can arrive at any conclusions regarding anything.
Example: Since there were 16 bibles before the King James version, a resercher should be asking why and what is the difference between them...and at best, try to read them for himself.
Example: Prophet Muhammad spoke Quarish Arabic...yet the original writings were destroyed and we now have the FUSHA Arabic..I read why, I just simply didn't buy that. Once the Prophet was dead and the split began in Islam regarding WHO was the next top dog, my own common sense told me that from that day on EVERYTHING CLAIMED, WRITTEN OR EVEN SAID IS SUSPECT....how was I to just trust Abu Baker, Omar or Uthman when so much religious and political power was at stake? What about Ali or those that became part of the Shiite group? What of the Ansaars ? How many different versions of the Qu'ran are there, just like the bible? How many different divisions of Islam are there, just like Christianity. The point is that....THERE'S SIMPLY A LOT OF STUDY YOU HAVE TO DO BEFORE YOU LATCH ON TO ANYTHING AND SAY "OH, THIS IS IT".
Example: I spoke on a time line in one of my post, and mind you, that is not the same time line that Islam uses. In fact, between such people as Brested, Petrie, Manetho, Wilkinson (1836), Champollian-Figeac (1839), Bockh, (1845) Unger(1867)... that alone is 7 different timelines...and that's not counting the other 9 timelines I ran across. Now, the timeline I was using was the conventional one...you know, the one Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan uses. So in light of all these time lines, how do you state with such emotional conviction that yours is the right one ? Can you see what I'm saying my brother?
Example: If you're going to use the bible, then before Genesis chapter 12 we have no history of Abraham. According to this same bible, Abram was the father of nothing, was not blessed or famous...and as such, was poor. Please read chapter 12. "Today brother Aquil moved to California, and he took all his wealth with him." Does this statement tell me that you were wealthy ? You be the judge.
Oh, my apologies, Yes I do have the chiekhs woks...and if you can't find what I mentioned in Civilization or Barbarism, try Great African Thinkers, page 209. It is in Civilization or Barbarism that the leucoderm word is used...but I'm going to let you find it first, that way
I'll know if you're really reading. However, I didn't expect you to find the word in a dictionary. You see, that's why the word stayed with me all these years. He used a word that I couldn't find in at least 4 or 5 GOOD dictionaries. Brother I was UPSET, with a capital U. I was only able to find the meaning of the word because I knew that "derm" was skin. Think you can handle the rest? Sometimes if you can't find a word, you have to find it in parts.
Peace out Bro.
