Since Nationality is the first rung, I just want to explain it first.
Everybody by birth has a Nationality. People born in Nicaraguan who have Nicaraguan parents are inherently Nicaraguan by Nationality. Even if the Nicaraguan parents go to Mars and have a child, that child will still be Nicaraguan in terms of Nationality.
So if we study history, we would see that the Europeans carved up Africa and made all of these separated "Nations". Rhodesia is named after Cecil Rhodes, the imperialist diamond miner who raped Africa of much of its wealth. So before all this carving up took place, we all understood that we were Moors, but we had more local or tribal names. However, we had the unification through the fact that we were and are all Moors.
So once again, we go to the dictionary, which will tell you that you are a Moor.
BlackaMoor
It is a compound word. Black + Moor. Black is the adjective(describing word) and Moor is the noun(person/subject). So they were calling you a Black Moor. This OBVIOUSLY shows us that firstly Moor does NOT mean Black. They weren't saying BlackaBlack, or BlackBlack. That's illogical. And secondly it shows you that we were Moors because the noun is the person, place, or thing, in other words the subject.
Secondly there is some stigmatism around Islam/Moslems.
So let's just break these terms down.
What is a Moslem? A Moslem is one who lives according to Islam, believes in one God, and follows the Holy Quran of Mecca(not exclusively, but that is one book they live by).
So then what is Islam? Islam means attaining peace through submission to God(higher self). Essentially Islam means living according Peace, but to do this, you have to let your higher self guide you.
So when people say "Give your life to Jesus" what they are really saying in essence is to live according to your higher self like Jesus and the other Prophets did. But since they are confused, they think that ONLY Jesus could do it, and that only he could be a God-man. But once you get all the complete lessons that the Christian Church doesn't give us, you will see that he said, "What I have done, all men can do, what I am, all men shall be".
By the way, Jesus and Mohammed were cousins by blood. Mohammed came from the seed of Ishmael, and Jesus came from the seed of Isaac, and Isaac and Ishmael were blood brothers, both sons of Abraham. Oh, and Jesus is mentioned HEAVILY in the Quran.
Jesus/Mohammed Family Tree
Ibrahim is Abraham. Isa is Jesus. Ismail is Ishmael. Ishaq is Isaac.
The terms are NAUGHT. I can just as easily same I practice Hotep rather than Islam. They both mean the same thing. And culturally, we wear the Fez and Turban, because those are two of the main headdresses that we have worn historically. However, I am NOT RESTRICTED to wearing another ancient headdress that my forefathers wore.
So a "Moslem" just means that you study all the ancient lessons and live your life in Peace by acting on your Higher Self which is God in man.
Oh and remember, only the pale skin Arabs are confined to reading the Quran, I study the Quran, Bible, Vedas, Kybalion, Egyptian Spirituality, Bghavad Gita, etc. All of these texts are essentially saying the same thing. So it's all about putting the science together and utilizing it. Not tripping off of terms.
Some say "Islam ain't a religion, it's a way of life".
Peace
