by the hands of the white supremacists. If you feel this is unimportant and irrelevant, then that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. But the magazine is not written to please the fallible opinions of people and to massage the Ego Monsters of certain individuals. It is written to share the truth which alongside the Wilayah and Rank of Ahmad al Hassan (a.s) is also to expose the injustices committed by the enemy. In this month’s issue of “The Mahdi Times” we are continuing with looking at African history. When the Malcolm X issue came out, I got feedback from people who felt really moved by the contents of the magazine, especially some of our black brothers and sisters. There is so much to cover when we talk about black history and so much we can learn from. I also got some feedback questioning why I decided to take the magazine into this direction and why even talk about these issues. Here is how I see it; Imam Ahmad al Hassan (a.s) has spoken about America being Dajjal – not the people, but the policy and actions of the American government. For centuries America has brutalised and been the big bully of the world. So when I talk about the injustices committed by the white supremacists, I do it with the intention of exposing the tyrants and oppressors to the world for what they truly are. I feel no group has been more brutalised than the black people. And that has been continuous How will you defeat an enemy if you do not know his history? Know your enemy, learn its pattern, its tactics and go into the battlefield with your eyes open. Instead of going with your eyes closed and empty handed. Mola Ali Waaris Fi Aman Allah Laila Ali
