PBS: Pan-Islamist B. S. – Tonight, For Black History Month . . .
By Debbie Schlussel
One of the reasons I was disappointed in Newt Gingrich and the House Republican “revolutionaries” of 1994 was that they didn’t do most of the important things they set out to do–whether in the Contract with America or not. One of those things was abolishing PBS. They had it in their grasp, but they didn’t have the guts to seal the deal. Now, we must live with–and you must continue to tax-fund–the consequences.
I typically refer to PBS a/k/a Public Broadcasting Service by more appropriate nomenclature, such as “People’s Broadcasting System” or “Palestinian Broadcasting System.”
Now, though, I think the general “Pan-Islamist Bull-S**t” is vastly more appropos.
Tonight, in honor of Black History Month, PBS presents to you, “Prince Among Slaves,” the much-embellished/vastly unverified story of “Abdul Rahman,” a Black slave who was allegedly a Muslim and an African prince. The story of Abdul Rahman is questionable and is propaganda that CAIR–the Saudi/UAE-funded Council on American-Islamic Relations–and other Islamic groups have been bandying about for years.
And this “documentary” is no exception. It is co-executive produced by Michael Wolfe, who produced PBS’ previous CAIR-orchestrated “Mohammed” special. In addition, those consulted for this docu-fakery include: Hamza Yusuf Hanson and Zaid Shakir, Islamic scholars at the Zaytuna Institute. FYI, Hamza Yusuf called the Jews a “racist little tribe,” and warned on the Sunday before 9/11 that America had a great disaster from Allah coming. He’s tied to Al-Qaeda and his mosque brought Ayman Al-Zawahiri to the U.S. twice to raise money for the terrorist group. The Zaytuna Institute is equally extremist.
(And you are paying for this twice–not just through PBS, but through the National Endowment for the Humanities, which underwrote this entire baloney production. Although Republicans tried to cut NEH funding, the Bushes–Georgie and hijab-donning Laura–opposed that, raising more money for it.)
CAIR and company claim that “Abdul Rahman” was a Muslim and represents many of Black slaves in America–that most of them were Muslims who were oppressed by the evil Christian White man in America. It’s a lot of baloney. And we all know what this propaganda is really about.
Blacks are treated horribly by Islam. They are referred to as “Abed” or the plural, “Abeed”–slave or slaves. They are treated as trash. We all know and see how Blacks are treated throughout the Gulf–where they are slaves and in Saudi Arabia are routinely executed for nothing. We’ve all seen how Blacks are treated by Arab Muslims in Sudan–where, for decades, they’ve been gang-raped, tortured, and murdered en masse.
This “Black slaves were Muslim” crap is an attempt to cover that up, and make us overlook the way Blacks around the world are treated by Muslims and other Arabs. And it’s an attempt to hide from us the real story of slavery: That Arab Muslim traders captured, kidnapped, and sold many Blacks into slavery throughout the world. That Muslim countries are the places, today, where slavery of Blacks continues, while it is unacceptable throughout the rest of the world.
And if “Abdul Rahman” was actually a Muslim, he was unlikely to have been a prince of any kind. In fact, any Black Muslim slave in America at that time was likely only Muslim because he or his ancestors were forcibly converted by White Arab Muslims, then shipped and ultimately sold to slavemasters in the New World.
That’s the real story about Islam and Black slaves in America in the 1700s and 1800s. But you won’t hear it on PBS, where Pan-Islamist BS is the order of the day, of the week, of the month, of the year, of the last four decades. This so-called “documentary” is largely re-enactments that are highly speculative in nature. Sorry, but that’s not documentary. That’s fiction.
Supervisory producer and re-enactment director Bill Duke says:
Too many people continue to be enslaved by poverty, drugs and bad decisions. But like Abdul Rahman, they can come out of it and regain their dignity and respect.
Get it? The evil American White man caused today’s poverty, drugs, and poor plight of Black America. But if you’re a Muslim, then you can survive, “regain [your] dignity and respect.” Uh-huh. Go tell it to the Blacks of Sudan and elsewhere in Africa and the Mid-East.
FYI, to impress their baloney point upon the two 69-year-old cat-lady spinsters who still watch this boring waste of broadcast airwaves, the “Prince Among Slaves” special is narrated by Mos Def, a Black rapper who is a Muslim.
Good luck understanding it, since Mos Def speaks Mumblish and you can barely understand a thing he says.
Also, FYI, it figures that this “history” fake-umentary was written and directed by Andrea Kalin. Judging from her surname, she is likely one of my fellow co-religionists. It figures. Sadly, liberal Jews–who’ve dumped their religion and replaced it with self-hatred and worship at the alter of Hillary, Barack, and Ben & Jerry–are among the biggest enablers of the so-called “Religion of Peace.”
And so it continues, tonight on Pan-Islamist BS, your tax-funded, little-watched Jazeera sister-network.
Remember, the only place Islam has in Black History is as a subjugator and oppressor of Blacks worldwide. If ever there was “the man” who kept them down, Islam was–and continues to be–it.

In keeping with this topics theme of Black History month and Mooslimes, I wonder if victim television PBS will cover Idi Amin Dada Oumee.
After all, it was on Feb 2, 1971 that Idi Amin Dada assumed power in Uganda, taking the government from President Milton Obote. One of his favorite pastimes seems to have been eating the brains of live prisoners. Also, while in office, he eats one of his own sons.
The former dictatorial leader of Uganda from 1971-1979, Idi Amin
Other dictators might find their enemies to be targets, threats, or terror: Amin found them tasty: “After his coup of his predecessor, Apollo Milton Obote, Amin rounded up the military leaders that did not support his coup, murdered them, decapitated them and sat their disembodied heads around the presidential dining table, scolding them for not supporting him, and taking bites of their flesh.”
Wracked by sexual diseases, almost totally illiterate (unable to write and barely able to read), and prone to marrying and divorcing multiple wives, Amin was not what one would call the most stabilizing force for the war-torn Uganda. However, as they were thrown into one small war to the next, the citizens could at least take heart that their leader was so many ants short of a picnic that he’d probably never turn on his own people… until he did. At one point, he gave all Asians in Uganda 90 days to leave, sans their businesses of course. Similar attacks against Christians, his wives’ lovers and his own cabinet ensured that nobody came to him asking for advice on matters of the heart.
Of course, the most astounding fact about Amin is that after years of torture, military insurgency, mismanagement of Uganda’s economy to the point of disaster, and deaths of over 300,000 of his own citizens, he was never incarcerated. He lived for years in exile in Saudi Arabia, where one newspaper reported that he ate “40 oranges a day” to keep up his “sex power”.
Dada died in 2003, and is survived by 4 wives and 45 children.
1894 Britain declares Uganda its protectorate.
c. 1924 Idi Amin Dada born.

1966 Amin formally marries his first wife, Malyamu. He has already fathered several illegitimate children by her.
Feb 1966 Parliament alleges that Amin has been stealing gold from Congo. Amin goes into hiding with his newly-married second wife, Kay Adroa.
1967 Marries Nora, a girl from President Apollo Milton Obote’s tribe.
25 Jan 1971 Ousts Ugandan President Apollo Milton Obote in a coup.
Sep 1972 marries his fourth wife, Madina, and divorces his previous three wives later that year. His second wife, Kay, would later die during an abortion; her body is discovered dismembered.
1975 Marries his fifth wife, Sarah.
Oct 1978 Invades the neighboring country of Tanzania. The invading army is repulsed, and Tanzania counter-invades.

17 Aug 2003 Idi Amin Dada dies.
