From numerous finds of pre-Islamic inscriptions in the Hijaz now, it's fairly clear that aḷḷāh was understood to be the name of the main monotheistic deity in the pre-Islamic period already. So it's not Islam's innovation.

Back in the mid-1980s of Detroit MI, this cartoon, with it's bangin' theme song, was the very last cartoon of the day and formally ended my favorite part of Saturday morning.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOQiDwiqzxOcW4AlAwL1H8n1ysfx0fWGnuETQkjZVuJ9VtbVUIkk0GeZt6LcSbl0IOUrX1suXYlM68d8kI71g8y8w441ANWk_sCAy-j2rEKEq_ggRxRB67-h7sS-u6Ykcwd5-LKBFsH4HOtcXH61xPKEvulomZUV1dv0MveZ5mdH6vSVLPzqAbOxJm_UG/s940/workingcanwait.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="940" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOQiDwiqzxOcW4AlAwL1H8n1ysfx0fWGnuETQkjZVuJ9VtbVUIkk0GeZt6LcSbl0IOUrX1suXYlM68d8kI71g8y8w441ANWk_sCAy-j2rEKEq_ggRxRB67-h7sS-u6Ykcwd5-LKBFsH4HOtcXH61xPKEvulomZUV1dv0MveZ5mdH6vSVLPzqAbOxJm_UG/w400-h303/workingcanwait.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzDkfj4KhWw&t=4s" target="_blank">Porky's Bear Facts (1941)</a></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - <span style="color: red;">♪ Working can wait!

fought and died for that symbol(that you take time out of your day, every day,
to hate despite your lack of understanding it). Those poor southern folk didn't
know any different. They were a proud and ignorant people. Much like your own.

poor white) people who have supported her economy, (actually and social) from

The Mule ruined a very detailed plan for the future with his unanticipated power.</div><div><br /></div><div>His power was the ability to influence… uh… strongly. He couldn't read minds, but he had a sense of the thoughts around him, and he could make adjustments. By playing with the internal control knobs of your psyche, he could cause you to live in mortal terror of the person you love the most. He could make you work non-stop until you died, on whatever he deemed worthy. He could tweak minds in such a way that his staunchest enemies would become his most loyal followers. These people would know that they'd been altered, but they wouldn't care. They would follow the Mule's wishes for the remainder of their lives.</div><div><br /></div><div>He could make you so desperately unhappy that you would die from it. He could give glimpses of rapturous pleasure so intense that you’d do anything just for a second look.</div><div><br /></div><div>His power has no outward clues. To watch him would be to see nothing at all happen, except that those he focused his mind on for just a moment would forever spin in a new direction.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - So, if there are no humans around, he doesn’t have any powers.</div><div><br /></div><div>Fail.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jim Christmas</b> - And if there's no metal, Magneto has no powers.</div><div><br /></div><div>No atmosphere, Storm has no powers.</div><div><br /></div><div>No people, Xavier had no powers.</div><div><br /></div><div>No yellow sun, superman had no powers…</div><div><br /></div><div>Etc.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - <u>“What is the <b>best</b> superpower to have?”</u></div><div><br /></div><div>Jim wrote: <i>“His power was the ability to influence”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>The ability to influence other human beings isn’t the best power because it is hinged upon other humans being around.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jim wrote: <i>“And if there's no metal, Magneto has no powers.”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Earth is full of metal.

This way no one would be able to arbitrarily take your powers away from you since they would be based on what you know (unless you were somehow lobotomized by a far more powerful being). An example of a character learning how to give himself such power is best demonstrated in the short story <a href="https://archive.is/6aPam" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Green Magic by Jack Vance</span></a>.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Olumide Maborukoje</b> - M.

I had a few teachers who literally hated cartoons, and were contemptuous about my work and the style I was attempting to develop... it left a real bad taste in my mouth. <br /><br />I figured I could reverse all of that negativity by attending an actual cartoon illustration school. <br /><br />The<a href="http://www.kubertschool.edu/"> </a><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.kubertschool.edu/">Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art,</a><a href="http://www.kubertschool.edu/"> Inc.</a></span>, functioned like a cartooning bootcamp. We had 10 classes per semester, two each work day, with assignments to do every single day. You had to really be on your game to stay caught up and not get left behind and forced to drop out/fail. It was very intense.<br /><br />It also felt very much like coming home. lol I had spent my entire 20+ years of life preparing for just such an environment.<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiEvJbcqw-DcYMS5EYAFYF1aa8vq-Hk6szP4LlEtvjEeCW8vgDpm9PZmtRioXgrO6HAFVHkbxavAiFxUCq2JkZDIK5ffAKYXHGcTkXS5n31I9LplMP9zRo3DMoiG_iiXSFOwoF9LJqII4ihFCBBOQ007AL78AQhZ2D5RN2wjTdiuRNXyHK2Lg4XrO7ncFkq" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiEvJbcqw-DcYMS5EYAFYF1aa8vq-Hk6szP4LlEtvjEeCW8vgDpm9PZmtRioXgrO6HAFVHkbxavAiFxUCq2JkZDIK5ffAKYXHGcTkXS5n31I9LplMP9zRo3DMoiG_iiXSFOwoF9LJqII4ihFCBBOQ007AL78AQhZ2D5RN2wjTdiuRNXyHK2Lg4XrO7ncFkq=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></div><br />All my teachers were working cartoonists in the field, from old school Silver Age veterans of comic book illustration, to a Disney studio artist on hiatus from his Blockbuster Film work; it was a great experience for an aspiring cartoonist. And they taught us every aspect of cartooning relevant at the time.<br /><br />They also turned us into drawing machines. Kubert school attendees are famous for getting work done.<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - After you graduated from the Kubert School, what was your next steps toward developing Second Sight Graphix?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed </b>- Oh, I didn't develop Second Sight Graphix right away. Even though I had spent my childhood and teens creating my own books under my own li'l kid publishing company, the college experience pushed that entrepreneurial spirit away from my conscious mind, and when I got out of school I felt I should submit portfolios to companies so I could work for them... the way I'd been taught.<br /><br />So I did commercial art for local companies and "worked on my portfolio." For years. It wasn't until I was well into the first 14 chapters of Monsters 101 did I seriously consider the idea of my own company.<br /><br />Until then I was just doing contract work until I could get a "good job."<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - Did you ever want to work for the Big Companies?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed</b> - Sure, because that was the Holy Grail back in school. That's what we were all supposed to want as a career end-goal. So I ate that up, too. Absolutely.<br /><br />And then I got over it. lol<br /><br />Once I held in my hands my own published book—my masterwork—and began to resent the idea of using up all my time to work on someone else's properties, or worse, give over creative control of my masterwork to some publisher, my boyhood entrepreneurial spirit began to resurface.<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - I've heard that tale before, so how long did it take you to realize that the Big Guys weren't for you and you wanted to do it your own way?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed</b> - lol About 14 chapters. lol<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - Too funny.<br /><br /><b>MRasheed</b> - It took a couple of years for the complete switch in mentality to take.<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - You say that you had all 14 chapters on Monsters 101 plotted out, when did you decide to go ahead and self publish?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed</b> - No, I had the first 14 chapters completed. Inked on bristol board. Books One & Two, and the first two chapters of Book Three.<br /><br />My decision to self-publish was only about a year old when I met you. (Note: MRasheed and I met on the online forum <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bshmuseum/"><span style="color: red;">BlackSuperhero.com</span></a> ~ RS)<br /><br />Nah, more like a little over two years. Yes.<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - Wow, you are prolific. Did you always intend to self publish or were you looking for someone to publish?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed</b> - I started off trying to get one of the creator-friendly publishers to do it for me... Dark Horse, Top Shelf, etc. But they all said that they thought it was very good, but not what they were looking for. Then I got married, moved to NC, and decided to do it myself.<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - We've been talking about Monsters 101, give us a little background on the series. What's it all about?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed </b>- Monsters 101 is an action-adventure series, with elements of classic horror and fantasy, featuring the tale of a former school bully turned monster and his partner, his former favorite nerd victim turned sorcerer. The tale is told in ten 150 page graphic novels, with the point of the series to transform a bully and a nerd into responsible heroes. Along the way they encounter child-eating monsters, ferocious super beings, demonic spirits, alien races, and all kinds of other stuff designed to challenge them and make the tale as exciting as I can.<br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh8rTu6fCgkb_SWcuvlt8tLvo4AQF0pA9dToAF9Z8eSKTZgiEc3hH7WkG5x8KUnCgS1yi0BrzLtRz-7XWbZ9XP_QZID-iPhw-ZRIgz9IC3BuoKhMkKQWc3SdGRqCRSoh-miE-bEoIbQjHjKQV6vB-xMjjYHGPsZoY-LLyPQmpVhpuy8nyEjFkSTSsPT2kvk" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="796" data-original-width="1341" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh8rTu6fCgkb_SWcuvlt8tLvo4AQF0pA9dToAF9Z8eSKTZgiEc3hH7WkG5x8KUnCgS1yi0BrzLtRz-7XWbZ9XP_QZID-iPhw-ZRIgz9IC3BuoKhMkKQWc3SdGRqCRSoh-miE-bEoIbQjHjKQV6vB-xMjjYHGPsZoY-LLyPQmpVhpuy8nyEjFkSTSsPT2kvk=w400-h238" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - What I find exciting about your work is that you're a one man army who creates every aspect of Monsters 101, from creating to writing to drawing to publishing. What are your general thoughts on indie publishing?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed</b> - I think the aspect that I like the most about it is that it does tend to reflect the purest beauty of cartooning, which to me is the one-man-show aspect. That's how I began all of this as a child, after-all. That's what appeals to me... it's just me, my pen-n-ink, my paper, and my imagination.<br /><br />The independent publishing movement as a whole is pretty vast to me. I've been studying aspects of it at a time over the years and always find something different and interesting to try out almost every month.<br /><br />I only recently discovered Dave Sim, and started reading the background on all of that history of comic book self-publishing. At first I thought Jeff Smith of Bone fame was the king, as an example.<div><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - As a Black creator/cartoonist, have you had any difficulty in the indie comic scene?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed </b>- lol No. All of my difficulties have involved trying to juggle my solitary cartooning lifestyle with being a new husband and father. The side effect was making me not as prolific as I was used to being. This is the year I finally figured it all out. Now I get to really create some difficulties in the indie scene. hahahaha I'm looking forward to it.<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - Is there any advice that you could give to other creators looking to self publish?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed</b> - I would tell them to get a body of work behind them as soon as possible. It definitely helped me with the credibility aspect out the gate, even though I wasn't a ''name" yet. And that sort of thing is vital in the direct market as well; retailers NEED to know that you can produce, and get books to them when you say you will, before they will give you any money. So setting up some kind of regular art production schedule where you can reliably put finished pages behind you, is the difference between making it and being shamed off the playing field.<br /><br /><b>Red Skew</b> - Sound advice. Lastly, where can fans find Monsters 101 and/or contact you?<br /><br /><b>MRasheed</b> - They can do both on my website at<a href="http://www.mrasheed.com/"> <span style="color: red;">www.mrasheed.com</span></a>.<br /><br /><b>Red Skew </b>- Well, thanks for your time and an interesting interview.<br /><br /><b>MRasheed </b>- Thank you for a very good interview!

So, O Muslim, WHO is that "he" Jesus is referring to in the "Book" that makes "People of the Book" the Quran says it confirms?

So, the point of the two verses is to tell the prophet that that particular portion of the Old Testament is still accurate enough for the prophet to verify with the learned among the children of Israel only if the prophet were so foolish as to doubt the revelation of Allah in verse 10:93.</div><div><br /></div><div>Clearly, Allah only said that in order to produce a stylized effect. Of course, the prophet took his Lord at His Word.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bruce wrote: <i>"THINK, please."</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, I did. You're the one who appears to be having some trouble.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Bruce Ramsey </b>- There is no verification, though, for the Red Sea incident in the Torah doesn't match with how the Quran has it (Pharaoh becoming a Muslim). But, hey, come to me to find out there is no verification, and, I'll then tell you how Jesus' death on the cross FOR our sins is the ONLY action that makes sense of all the sin offerings and blood atonement mentioned in the Torah (Allah's book given to Musa").</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Bruce wrote: <i>"There is no verification, though"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>The Qur'an is the inerrant Word of God that the bible only pretends to be. By default, the Qur'an <u>IS</u> the verification that corrects the previous errors.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bruce wrote: <i>"for the Red Sea incident in the Torah doesn't match with how the Quran has it"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Then fix your book.

At no point <u>ever</u> did God say we should verify <u>anything</u> with the Christians who lost most of the message of the Christ, and even ignore the little piece you did manage to save.

This also enabled the revealed message the two of them preached to expand beyond the individual responsibility level to also instruct believers in how to walk out the Path of God while in community with fellow believers.

This goes hand-in-hand with the modern societal attack on organized religion principles and it infests all of genre fiction.</div><div><br /></div><div>Remember in Empire Strikes Back when Yoda point blank said that the dark side of The Force is <u>NOT</u> stronger than the good side? If you watched all the films and shows since then, would you be able to tell that was so? They've created an anti-good culture in which truth, justice and the generous, self-sacrificing altruistic hero of legend are no longer welcome. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Rodney Jean-Etienne</b> - Solid points. I completely agree.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Brett Barton</b> - We used to talk about stuff like this.</div><div><br /></div><div>Absolutely Miller, and many other influenced.</div><div><br /></div><div>I still prefer a Wolverine who doesn’t play well with others.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are certain tropes of characters and growth that are great….but some guys I just want to ride the line of what seems like a good idea at the time.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lobo, Wolverine, The Punisher.</div><div><br /></div><div>Let those guys just be assholes, who get the job done.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - @Brett... The problem is when the editorial staff allows the popularity trends of certain characters to influence the entire story-verse to the point where it damages both continuity and credibility. Of course Wolverine is supposed to be the quasi-barbaric "doesn't get along well with others" figure, but why would they make every single character introduced thereafter follow that template, and then revamp older, Good Guy characters with the same "dark & gritty" template to "make them better" and "revamped for the modern audience?"</div><div><br /></div><div>It's stupid and a demonstration of failed leadership.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Joe Kilmartin</b> - @Muhammad... the irony is that Wolverine is better with kids than either Batman or Superman is — and that’s just… wrong.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - @Joe... That reminds me of how gentle they had the feral Bixby/Ferrigno Hulk behave whenever he was around kids and animals.</div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe that's how they translated someone who was "closer to nature."</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Brett Barton</b> - @Muhammad... I don’t disagree many comics need an editorial enema.</div><div><br /></div><div>My favorite stuff is Marvel/DC 1980s for continuity, look, essentials.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think the more focus of todays folks are “super heroes are people too” which is overdone and boring, but being completely flawless is as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>It’s basically preference at this point and I haven’t read a ton of stuff since 08 the tropes and overuse and hack tactics just got to me from diehard to casual on many levels.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Brett wrote: <i>"but being completely flawless is as well."</i></div><div><br /></div><div>The strength of the golden age of comics was the wide variety and the "something for everyone" appeal.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Superman exists. The Cosmic beings exist. The street-level, costumed martial artists exist. The wild personalities like Guy Gardner and Lobo exist alongside pure characters like Meggan from Excalibur. And a rich & full spectrum of characters between the extremes exist.</div><div><br /></div><div>A whole "dark & gritty" genre universe is gimmicky, weak and not produced for longevity, but for a quick cash grab and it does more harm than good by negatively influencing the culture.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Brett Barton</b> - I agree dark and gritty doesn’t work for all.</div><div><br /></div><div>I do enjoy golden age as well, but the 1980s era is specifically where my main favorites lay. Both exist in that but it seems the balance was…well…balanced.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed </b>- ...and then they broke it.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Brett Barton</b> - </div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCCqMP2ViPbgPXDe42N6A9Z3j1l12kDvNen4IRqMgDxxde3fioycqJ3V5XIq7Sas1maTVHsf_IRdmqKxWoDNUfdVXHNDba2iXpMxF-U7UPc8A3tH_2W10uxDz-xnCIEtNzrV08N39-S_feGiYU-otSBqs5rSahe-xCovtcTdypGhGWUzhhVOlfs3pNlseS/s220/thanosSNAP.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="208" data-original-width="220" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCCqMP2ViPbgPXDe42N6A9Z3j1l12kDvNen4IRqMgDxxde3fioycqJ3V5XIq7Sas1maTVHsf_IRdmqKxWoDNUfdVXHNDba2iXpMxF-U7UPc8A3tH_2W10uxDz-xnCIEtNzrV08N39-S_feGiYU-otSBqs5rSahe-xCovtcTdypGhGWUzhhVOlfs3pNlseS/s1600/thanosSNAP.gif" width="220" /></a></div><br /><div><div><b>Raymond Smith </b>- #FACTS the whole antihero trope has been overdone to this point, instead of just putting good guys in tough situations, it has to be this whole dark gritty term about them. You can have antiheroes but you need variety.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jonathan A. Price</b> - It wasn't until I watched the MCU's Captain America movies that I realized how much I missed the pure hero archetype. Cap wasn't perfect but he was the closest thing to a lawful good for its own sake and that felt great.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed </b>- @Jonathan... And then suddenly they started having him cuss and talking about his ass, so I guess the "dark & gritty" era is about to come to the MCU. 🙄</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jonathan A. Price</b> - yeah...there's that. But it was still pleasant to be reminded briefly.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - No, I totally agreed. But at this point I've come to expect the execs to start to ruin a good thing.</div><div><br /></div><div>As much as I enjoyed the MCU while it pulled nostalgic tales from my favorite Silver Age era, we all knew it wasn't going to stay there forever.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Ben Whiting</b> - Alan Moore, who wrote The Killing Joke, has said that he regrets writing it & being responsible for the whole shift to dark, gritty misery graphic novels</div><div><br /></div><div>He said that by and large superhero’s are not meant to be taken seriously…”I mean…a man dressed as a bat?”</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Kenneth Alexander Wright Vazquez </b>- @Ben... superheroes walk a fine line between absurdism and idealism. Their aesthetics are definitely absurdly, but what they stand for, specifically Superman, is real and intrinsic to everyday life.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Ben wrote: <i>"are not meant to be taken seriously"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>That seems a bit naïve to me for someone in his position. There's a reason we keep referring to these tales as "modern mythology" since that implies a profound influence upon culture just like the previous traditional tales passed along through the generations. These have the additional turbo-boost power of mass media behind them, so although the basic concept of a man dressed up like a bat probably won't itself be taken seriously, notice that doesn't stop PepsiCo, Inc.® from spending millions of dollars for the chance to use that same "unserious" media product to literally indoctrinate the audience.</div><div><br /></div><div>Megacorporate's relentless pursuit of profit certainly isn't the only agenda taking advantage of this opportunity. I'm confident that Moore actually knows better than that.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Martin Jackson</b> - I think the rejection characters like Superman (who are just good because) has more to do with a disillusionment of organized religion then an attack on it. More people see the faults of the figures in organized religions and politics and probably other things that were once looked at pillars of good moral in society.</div><div>That disillusionment cared on to how some people's creative works which then helped shaped fans views.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - @Martin... People have recognized for thousands of years that mere humans are flawed and the point of religion is to try and try and try again and build up a culture of trying to get it right until it gets as close as we can get it until the species expires.</div><div><br /></div><div>Deciding to stop trying, throw away religion and just relax into degeneracy so the bad guys can win without any kind of resistance is a failure of people.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - There's nothing wrong with creating characters that do the right thing because it's the right thing to do and to train society to be that way ourselves. Teaching the next generation to think those characters are boring is not a good idea.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Raven Black</b> - true, he is just boring UNLESS they have great writers, Super powered White Jesus in a cape.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - @Raven... The character himself is boring, or the stories are boring?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Raven Black </b>- i liked the grant Morrison run and the Azzerllo story. So I guess it’s the character. Unless the writer is great. Too much power.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Give me an example or two of the types of characters you prefer, please.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Brent Eric Anderson</b> - Great thread. Thanks for the discussion.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Karl Dabney</b> - The Darkside Of The Force is not stronger, just unrestrained.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jerry Lee Brice</b> - I agree, I look at the backlash to the preschool character Barney got from adults in society,like it's a "cool" to make sure other adults know you hate Barney, as opposed to just letting the little kids enjoy a nice thing...</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't get it, most comic nerds are not even close to knowing what true darkness is, and if they did, they would not want to celebrate evil.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's like the kids that fantasize about being gang members and criminals, when they are not built for any of that life, and need to stick to cotton candy and rainbows, because that's their lane.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Keith Creech</b> - You can ask the big question, but being provocative for the sake of it is lazy writing. I thought Squardon Supreme was an interesting thought experiment: </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIjrhcur2kg" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">The Squadron Supreme Was Years Ahead Of Its Time! | Behind The Panel | SYFY WIRE</span></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Keith Creech I thought the Squadron Supreme was just the DC fans among the old Marvel bullpen doing fan fiction. lol</div></div></div>M.

Easy. Why reveal the Book in a language His prophet didn’t even speak? What sense would that have made?</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, Allah points out that if the Qur’an had come in any other language, the Jews wouldn’t have believed in it. That means the Deuteronomy 18:18 prophecy is confirmed to reference the children of the prophet Ishmael (pbuh) as the referenced “brethren” nation to the people of Moses (pbuh), through whom the prophet ‘like Moses’ would come to make the children of Israel envious.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another reason, is the fact that the 7th century Arabs had a high-level poetry tradition — Arabic was the language of the most sophisticated and subtle poetry traditions of the time. So, Allah choosing to send down His final revelation in Arabic, to the Arabic-fluent master poet connoisseur, was a flex of epic proportions and a sign of His Power and Greatness. When the greatest poets in the land evaluated these Qur’anic verses from a known illiterate, their awed response was, “This is evident magic!” Basically, the Arab poets responded to the Qur’an the same way the magicians of Pharaoh’s court responded to the signs that Moses was instructed to bring.</div><div><br /></div><div>In other words, Allah chose Arabic for the Qur’an because it was part of His perfect Plan. Glory be to Allah! Lord of the worlds!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>TERMINATORBCE</b> - Let's get some context to deutoronomy 18 18 why Muslims use this verse is comical 🤣 lol I thought the Bible is corrupt why you using it ?……. Anyways let's get some context from deutoronomy 18 14-18. Before I start roasting this false claim lol</div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>whenever you see the word “LORD” in capitals it means “YAWEH” in the hebrew. And what's the name of your God?<br /><br /></li><li>Moses says “ the “LORD” (YAWEH) your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you,from your fellow isreallites. Was muhammad a isrealite ? NO<br /><br /></li><li>Pretty simple if you read the context it's not talking about Muhammad at all but Muslims have to stay in a state of ignorance for their religion to thrive!<br /><br /></li><li>Also deutoronomy 18 20 is talking about Muhammad because Quran 53 19-20 Muhammad talks about Allah's 3 daughters al-lat al-uzza and manat. So if Muhammad would have said that verse in Moses time they would have stoned him to death !</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - TERMINATORBCE wrote: <i>“Let's get some context to deutoronomy 18 18”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>We already have the context we need. The Qur’an is the final revelation that confirms & fulfils the previous scripture and corrects the errors. That means, the Qur’an is the standard.</div><div><br /></div><div>TERMINATORBCE wrote: <i>“why Muslims use this verse is comical”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Allah confirmed that the previous scriptures mention Muhammad (pbuh), and since Deut. 18:18 is clearly one of those references, I don’t understand why we shouldn’t use it to point out this fact.</div><div><br /></div><div>TERMINATORBCE wrote: <i>“lol I thought the Bible is corrupt why you using it ?”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>The bible is <u>very</u> corrupt.

NO”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>lol I notice even you can’t help but contribute your own personal corruption to the text. What little respect the wayward people of the book have for their own so-called scriptures!

Muhammad literally matches him, including having the Qur’an as a “fuller explanation of the Book of Moses.”</div><div><br /></div><div>TERMINATORBCE wrote: <i>“but Muslims have to stay in a state of ignorance for their religion to thrive!”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Your book is corrupt, but you pretend it isn’t even though your own scholars admit the bible is a fabricated document written by anonymous writers to push evangelical agendas.</div><div><br /></div><div>TERMINATORBCE wrote: <i>“Also deutoronomy 18 20 is talking about Muhammad”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>You’re silly. Deut. 18:20 is talking about Paul of Tarsus, who put forth failed prophecies, revealed himself the false prophet of legend, and was thus executed for his presumptions and audacity in perfect fulfilment of the Deut. 18:20 prophecy. Your scriptural analysis skills are terrible. Oh, wait… you don’t have any scriptural analysis skills.

The subsequent backlash—where the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) political advocacy group calling for boycotts of such projects—has been a success. Because of this, Hollywood’s initial plans to immediately replace Boseman with an African-British actor were put on hold, fearful lest the political backlash of the decision should result in the MCU’s biggest financial flop in history between the first Black Panther film’s success versus the anticipated sequel.</div><div><br /></div><div>Instead, using their equally dubious ‘Plan-B’ option, they pushed all supporting Black male characters further to the background, made an Hispanic actor the “strong male presence” in a “Black movie” and turned the feminism dial up to 11.</div><div><br /></div><div>Marvel Studios appears to want to punish Black Americans for coming out in support of the first BP by turning them off of the product all together.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Dave Dolan</b> - What a load of BS they didn’t re cast out of respect, manor was cast in line with his back story and the storyline to explain his death was well thought out and respectful. Well done marvel</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - It’s “respect” to leave out the Black male lead in a movie franchise that excited the Black people who made the first one top a billion dollars, huh? Isn’t your group the one always making fun of Black people because of the absent father’s trope? But now you’re good with there being no Black men in their movie and replacing him with a hispanic?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>BlancoTheGod</b> - Did you even watch the movie? The fuck are you on about? Namor is not hispanic. His people predate the spanish conquest of mexico and south america. Also you seem to be saying a lot about black men while ignoring the black women that were heavily featured. Lastly, the end shows M'baku talking over as King of Wakanda. Incase you didn't know m'baku is a black man.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed </b>- Blanco wrote: <i>“Namor is not hispanic”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>lol I’m talking about the casting. smh</div><div><br /></div><div>Blanco wrote: <i>“Lastly, the end shows M'baku”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Exactly, at the END.</div><div><br /></div><div>Blanco wrote: <i>“Did you even watch the movie?”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>No way.</div><div><br /></div><div>Blanco wrote: <i>“Also you seem to be saying a lot about black men while ignoring the black women that were heavily featured.”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Didn’t I say they “turned the feminism dial up to 11” in my Answer? Pay attention. You’re the guy who is ALWAYS making fun of the “black absentee fathers” racist trope, but here you want to pretend feminism makes it all better while you gas light. smh</div><div><br /></div><div><b>BlancoTheGod</b> - This is nuts, bro. You have no Idea what I make fun of. You’re minimizing the stuggles and accomplishments of black women by says its just feminism.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Blanco wrote: <i>“This is nuts, bro.”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>I agree.</div><div><br /></div><div>Blanco wrote: <i>“You have no Idea what I make fun of.”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>lol Sure, I do. That’s why you’re calling yourself “White the god.” You all always make fun of the exact same stuff like a hive mind.</div><div><br /></div><div>Blanco wrote: <i>“You’re minimizing the stuggles and accomplishments of black women by says its just feminism.”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>lol I’m indifferent to feminist agendas trying to split the Black American family up into an artificial gender war situation. I particularly have zero respect for the scheme when I see white men partnering with it.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>BlancoTheGod </b>- Bruh. We are just blobs of cells on an organic spaceship hurdling through the comsos. Just roll a joint and enjoy life.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - I’m not inclined to take that kind of advice seriously.

Maybe a little classic horror, some interdimensional travel and, most important, good guys fighting bad guys. Then he tossed it all together.</p><p>The result is the imaginative, hard-to-categorize "Monsters 101," which tells the story of Willy Pugg, a middle school bully whose cruelties are inspired by an abusive home life. Abducted by a trio of squabbling, kid-eating monsters, Willy is offered a deal: Lure other kids into the monsters' lair, and they'll reward Willy by turning him into a monster, too.</p><p>But after Willy is transformed into the super-strong monster Pugroff, he chooses to use his powers for good instead of evil. Pugroff partners with his former bullying victim, the nerdy but clever Mort, and two[sic] set off on various interdimensional adventures.</p><p>Rasheed, 40, has made four volumes of "Monsters 101" so far, via the Raleigh-based self-publishing outfit Lulu. Each volume is black-and-white with a full-color cover, consisting of six chapters and 150 pages or so per book. The series is scheduled to end at Book 10 next year.</p><p>Besides the skillful illustrations, "Monsters 101" features sophisticated framing and paneling techniques that reflect Rasheed's formal training at the prestigious Kubert School, and a keen eye for the strengths of the medium. "Monsters" isn't for kids, though. While often funny and full of high adventure, the comic has some very graphic gore and deals frankly with issues of violence, bullying, child abuse and... monsters.</p><p>Rasheed, who works part time in display advertising at The News & Observer, talked about homemade comics, online promotion and "comic book boot camp."</p><p><b>On making his own comics when he was a kid: </b><br /><i>"When I was really young, I used to make these little hand-drawn comics. There was this TV cartoon called the 'Tarzan/Batman Hour' or something. That inspired the first one. I would get copy paper or notebook paper, fold it in half, put construction paper around it as a cover. I was making them all the time. Like, all the time."</i></p><p><b>On his experience at The Kubert School, the nation's only accrdited cartooning college, in Dover, N.J.:</b><br /><i>"It's like comic book boot camp. The workload is incredibly intense. Like with the Marines, I showed up with all these other students and by the end of the year it was, like, me and a handful of other people. Two classes a day, five days a week. Homework every night for every class. You may be able to draw really well, but if you can't draw fast, you're going to suffer. And if you can draw fast, but not well, you're going to suffer."</i></p><p><b>On making a living as a comic artist:</b><br /><i>"My book sales — combined with my cartoon portraits, workshops and freelance work — have enabled me to do well financially, up until the 2008 recession, then sales took a rather painful dive. Business has been slowly climbing back up since then. I've been making pretty good money, and more every year as my social networking efforts have really started paying off."</i></p><p><b>On the origins of "Monsters 101":</b><br /><i>"'Monsters 101' started out as a pitch for a newspaper comic strip. I got a lot of very nice rejections saying that, basically, it wasn't the right format. So when they said that, the idea expanded out into an adventure comic book. I started to ask — who are the monsters? Where do they come from? I was filling up piles of sketchbooks as I flushed out this whole universe. I started really getting into it. I realized this was my masterwork. I built it around everything I love to draw, everything I love to read about."</i></p><p><b>On moving to Raleigh from his hometown of Detroit and publishing:</b><br /><i>"I got married, moved down here around 2004, and a friend of mine recommended Lulu and self-publishing. So I got my first bound copy, and started promoting the books through social networks and online. I think the next time I was that excited was when my daughter was born."</i></p><p><u>glennmcdonald1@gmail.com</u></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4YJ_mlozEsGrugYUBMZnb-b9NWebIjevMZyqOC4Qj9sU-8tXoGXyEuZhEA-WznCgfy35yW7mCnQexLtD1C9HEySKt21HjNVYj_6P9uvuPrpU9P2F1dFN0bp9dBeakVuEwHiDHvziSGT77EvXGczzVqPRu8Wy9i2DCOjs2iDECmMNm6OMJ2VEQJYog9rKS/s6750/The_News_and_Observer_Sun__Sep_4__2011_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6750" data-original-width="3283" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4YJ_mlozEsGrugYUBMZnb-b9NWebIjevMZyqOC4Qj9sU-8tXoGXyEuZhEA-WznCgfy35yW7mCnQexLtD1C9HEySKt21HjNVYj_6P9uvuPrpU9P2F1dFN0bp9dBeakVuEwHiDHvziSGT77EvXGczzVqPRu8Wy9i2DCOjs2iDECmMNm6OMJ2VEQJYog9rKS/w195-h400/The_News_and_Observer_Sun__Sep_4__2011_.jpg" width="195" /></a></div>M.

Dumbest statement ever 😂😂😂</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - @Jason... "Skills pay the bills" not height & weight.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jason Gruntkosky</b> - @Muhammad... LIES and just a meaningless rhyme. 😂😂😂</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - English must not be your first language then if the rhyme confused you. Let me help.</div><div><br /></div><div>Boxing is a functional martial art, that enables a skilled practitioner to defeat a less skilled opponent with a natural height/weight advantage. Understand?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jason Gruntkosky</b> - I bet you just googled all those big words. Took a couple hours too LMAO 😂😂😂</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - So, both the rhyme confused you <u>AND</u> the general vocabulary. That's what I thought.</div><div><br /></div><div>You're just dumb. 🤣</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jason Gruntkosky</b> - Ya ok go back to the cartoons little boy. Leave the boxing up to the adults 😂😂😂</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - hahahaha I sure as hell hope you're not talking about yourself. What "boxing" do you think you know, dumbass? #adorbs</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - (he thinks he's people)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - You're from Boston (figures 🙄). What are you doing in Fiji? F*ckin' up somebody's contracting company? lol Try not to bite yourself shaving over there and embarrassing us Americans. #SafetyFirst</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jason Gruntkosky</b> - I know boxing because I’ve watched it since I was young, had thousands of fights in my life, and bounced for 15 years in places most people would be scared to go in. Mocking my knowledge of boxing will fall on deaf ears 😂😂😂</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Nick Snyder</b> - @Jason... Idc if you are ten foot tall. All it takes is a certain amount of pressure on the chin and your going down! Size does not mean shit. You’ve never seen a little dude beat a big dude up before?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jason Gruntkosky</b> - @Nick... that’s been tried and the chances of succeeding are extremely remote. Size means if you weigh 150 I throw you in the air and you land 50ft away out of my bar 😂😂😂</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Nick Snyder </b>- yeah. You in the wrong area than. I’ve seen it. So yeah. To me size don’t mean shit.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jason Gruntkosky</b> - that’s what all small guys think until they get tossed like rag dolls. 😂😂😂</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Jason wrote: <i>"I know boxing because"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>In order to know boxing, you need to actually know how to demonstrate that knowledge. Obviously, you don't believe in that. Probably because of the Boston thing. awww...</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Nick wrote: <i>"Idc if you are ten foot tall"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>We do have weight divisions for a reason though. Size difference wouldn't mean too much within comparable divisions if the smaller guy was highly skilled. Floyd proved that many times (I know y'all didn't actually watch his fights though).</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jason Gruntkosky</b> - @Muhammad... You can find me at UFC Gym in CA if you need me. Come on in the cage I'll show you all you need to know about boxing. And after you can draw me as a cartoon your favorite Superhero 😂😂😂</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - @Jason... You have all this so-called knowledge, but when challenged you default to being a white trash thug, huh? hahahahaha</div><div><br /></div><div>That's how I know you don't know sh*t.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - What actual knowledgeable person hides from talking about his knowledge? Instead, you start complaining about reading and vocabulary and sh*t. lol "Man, that rhymes! I can't understand that!"</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jason Gruntkosky</b> - It's all cartoons and nursery rhymes for you I guess 😂😂😂</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed </b>- Jealous? #sad</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Dean Evans </b>- For me Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward are the epitome of what a real fighter/boxer should be!! Every single fight they bring out the Mongrel in themselves and for me they are the real G.O.A.T’s and also Manny Pacquiao not Floyd Mayweather.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Dean wrote: <i>"For me Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward are the epitome of what a real fighter/boxer should be"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Those fights are ridiculous — just allowing the opponent to hit you, with zero skills, just throwing wild haymakers. No true fan of the art of the sweet science would enjoy that nonsense. You may as well watch drunk homeless people fight on YouTube.</div><div><br /></div><div>Boxing has the worst "fans" in all of sport. Just dumb.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Paul Gantt </b>- @Muhammad... you’re even Dumber if you waste your money watching floyd!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - @Paul... That doesn't make any sense. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is a superbly trained and highly-skilled boxer, who is uniquely a master of two opposing fighting styles imprinted upon him by his father and uncle. It's a genuine treat—as a true fan of close combat—to watch that level of combatant figure out an opponent and break him down.</div><div><br /></div><div>By contrast, watching those two wastes Gatti & Ward is like watching someone wearing a karate gi break an egg with a hammer. It's stupid and makes a mockery of the sport by degrading it down to the ignorant superficial expectations of the "casual fan."</div></div></div>M.

So I’m genuinely inquiring… what does it take to be accepted in? Or should should I just leave this alone and stfu about being black.. but then that looks like me denocuning my blackness which I would NEVER. So confusing I HATE IT.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed </b>- <i><span style="color: red;">"National Hispanic Heritage Month is annually celebrated from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States."</span></i></div><div><br /></div><div>#SolvedIt</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thalia M LeBlanc</b> - What are you saying with this? that I should only celebrate being Hispanic and not ever celebrate my blackness?</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Your "blackness" is a fiction. Your lineage & heritage is Latina/Hispanic and you have a whole month for it to not be confused it while to draw attention away from the Black American ethnic group's month with this whining.</div><div><br /></div><div>Grow up.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thalia M LeBlanc</b> - Learn what RACE is and what ethnicity is. Being Hispanic just means you speak Spanish…look down this entire thread and you’ll see YOU are wrong. EDUCATE YOURSELF and YOU grow up!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Black History Month isn't about shallow 'race,' it's about recognizing the contributions of the Black American former slave class ethnic group to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's not about the immigrants. You all have your own observance day months. GO FIND YOURS, Ms. Confused.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - It doesn't even make sense to create a whole national observance month based only on shallow melanin. The effort is a hateful attempt of erasure of the Black American as a specific ethnic group -- we're the only group in the world who traditionally used "Black" as our ethnic designation and you immigrants are grifting it for political clout by pretending the term is only about race the way it's used in your home nations.</div><div><br /></div><div>SHAME ON YOU. >:(</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thalia M LeBlanc</b> - I was born here I’m not an immigrant.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Then you are immigrant-tied, and my point is the exact same. The Black American is the only ethnic group whose family didn't come to the USA "looking for a better life."</div><div><br /></div><div>That's immigrant talk, not "Black" talk. Go find your own month and stop being a parasite grifter. >:(</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Thalia M LeBlanc</b> - Fight with your fellow black brothers and sisters that are the majority under this post going against what YOU are saying</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Your logical fallacy is: "<u>Appeal to the People</u>"<i> (argumentum ad populum).</i></div><div>The Appeal to the People fallacy is a fallacious argument based on claiming a truth or affirming something is good because many people think so.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Khalima Alicia Thompson</b> (@dr.kima.alicia) - That is not at all true. Carter G. Woodson, who founded BHM specifically said that it was to celebrate “Negroes in History” not Negro history. Considering the contributions of Arturo Schonburg who was pivotal during the Harlem Renaissance and Joan Baez who was instrumental in the civil rights movement Afrolatiné have always been noted contributors to Black History. Your ignorance is showing boo boo.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - According to his own 1915 book, <i>The Education Of The Negro Prior To 1861</i>, Woodson defined "Negro" as the Black American ethnic group specifically, not any & all melanated people who happened to look roughly in the direction of the Americas. Numerous xenophobic, political grifting organizations usurped Woodson's mission to transform his work into a pro-immigrant scam to erase the Black American ethnic group and our unique history to give it to others, on behalf of white supremacy. This is evil.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Khalima Alicia Thompson</b> - Again that’s ignorant. He envisioned the study and celebration of the Negro as a race, race is all about outward appearance and in terms of Blackness, African ancestry. He did not believe in separation based on country of origin. In his book, The Miseducation of the Negro he said: I don’t understand why they would devote all this time to Europe, descendants of Europe, and not give equal time to the origins of Africans.” He didn’t say, as it only pertains to Africans in the US.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - You're trying to impose my political rival's self-serving schemes on me, and then call me "ignorant" when I reasonably protest the blatant xenophobic abuse.</div><div><br /></div><div>Before the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act was signed, all references to "Black" in the USA, referred to my former slave class ethnic group alone. Once the waves of "POC/BIPOC" immigrants started arriving after the 1980s, then foreign grifters started using "Black" as an ID fraud based, immigrant come up at my group's expense.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Woodson was interested in a deep study of the greater history of 'African descendants,' but that doesn't mean that he would agree with the current white supremacist-supported scheme of erasing & replacing the history of the American Descendants of Slavery ethnic group with fabricated immigrant historical retcons.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Khalima Alicia Thompson</b> - Sweetheart you are using race, a term and concept created by white supremacists to segregate and harm our communities while telling me that a certain definition of Blackness is all that is defined by white supremacists? Please just stop.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - No, I'm not. I'm protesting a political grift scheme that is attempting to destroy the history of the Black American group, replace it with a shallow race/melanin ideology that enables foreign melanated people to cosplay as Black Americans for fraud-based economic elevation. White supremacists first weaponized immigration against the newly-freed slaves during Reconstruction, and your gas lighting position represents the latest phase in the diabolical, centuries old long-con.</div><div><br /></div><div>Shame on you.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Khalima Alicia Thompson</b> - Wow dude. Your desire to segregate people of the African diaspora is pretty sick and sad. Black was a term created by racists with malicious intent and your clear sad need to exclude folks and gatekeep is not what is needed. Signed someone who actually studied Black history and isn’t just in needing of stomping on others to feel good about themselves.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - Only the American Descendants of Slavery ethnic group is being bullied into giving up our rich cultural heritage to allow others to ravage & divide it among themselves, as if they are entitled to our accomplishments. All other ethnic groups in the diaspora proudly represent their unique heritages. When ADOS does it, we are falsely accused of desiring to segregate the diaspora (whatever <u>THAT</u> means).</div><div><br /></div><div>Your handlers are racist, white liberal communists. I don't care about your paper credentials.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - <a href="https://twitter.com/NonHumanMedia1/status/1753570532501471616" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Angela Davis Autobiography</span></a></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: red;">“We would pretend to be foreigners and, speaking French to each other”<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="color: red;">“At the sight of two young Black women speaking a foreign language, the clerks in the store raced to help us”<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="color: red;">“We were invited to take seats in the front of the Jim Crow shop”</span></li></ul></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjGK0w9newjNCdqnblXAsEeZavZR6_1Lr7fC4riSmIBbEaAEOZq7BiQ6cctAyHOPNVTKWi_7QIHB688KGftw0hR433EM6JqIkMCII9EnuPy9WcwOOksSkrQ15BmQrP2wmwp82X58dXAdC3jMypNF9xBoVqWRBf2-EM0s-L-59MwCfPgmYEy2YSu80Fn3C5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1376" data-original-width="1010" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjGK0w9newjNCdqnblXAsEeZavZR6_1Lr7fC4riSmIBbEaAEOZq7BiQ6cctAyHOPNVTKWi_7QIHB688KGftw0hR433EM6JqIkMCII9EnuPy9WcwOOksSkrQ15BmQrP2wmwp82X58dXAdC3jMypNF9xBoVqWRBf2-EM0s-L-59MwCfPgmYEy2YSu80Fn3C5=w293-h400" width="293" /></a></div><br />U.S. race relations turned out not to be about "race" after-all. It was always xenophobia against the American Descendants of Slavery specifically. Immigrants have always been on the side of white supremacy against us.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Lisa</b> (@lisalex0807) - Except many Latinos are also descended from the Africans brought here as slaves. As a matter of fact, the ships' first stop when coming to the Americas was on those islands. They had to bring them in after they massacred the indigenous and had no one to mine their "gold". So, your minimization of our history and connection to our African ancestors is wrong. She has every right to celebrate that part of her heritage.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - You think pointing out that Hispanics/Latinos literally have their own observance month just for their ethnic heritage and lineage is minimalizing them when I point out that Black History Month isn't about "race" but about the specific non-Hispanic Black American former slave class ethnic group?</div><div><br /></div><div>You have that backwards. You're the one minimalizing our history. The Hispanic identified as 'white' until recently, when they sought to grift civil rights. They actually helped write the jim crow laws.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Lisa</b> - Wow. Imma step away and let you bathe in that hate, anger and frustration you're carrying around. Good luck with it.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - lol I have no "hate." White supremacists and their loyal lackeys have all the hate for my group, and they like to project as if my protesting their well-documented evil is the same as their own hatred for Black Americans ADOS.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm entitled to my righteous anger.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm only frustrated with the cowardly sellouts among my own group. I expect white supremacists and their loyal "POC/BIPOC" lackeys to be how they are.</div></div></div>M.

Where did Mohammed get to know how Jesus looks like, if they never met and he wasn't even in the picture for 623yrs ?"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>The prophets of God were blessed with second sight and were allowed glimpses into the unseen to make prophecies and gain insights to aid in their special mission. The miracles they were allowed to perform with God's permission are well-known. The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) actually got to meet some of the other prophets in a famous spirit vision-journey, and in one Qur'anic verse, it even hints that Allah had the archangel show the prophet different scenes in the past while the revelation was coming to him.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"Even in the Bible there's no description of how he looked like."</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Why would that be a surprise?

How come that Jesus will live on earth for 40yrs and than die"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>In the Qur'an, God says that Jesus (pbuh) will be one of the signs of the coming of the Day of Judgment. The idea that Jesus' second coming will involve him actually getting to fulfill his role of 'King of Israel' that his own people rejected, as well as live out his earthly lifetime, is what these hadith are supposed to represent.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"and the Muslims will pray over him..."</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Why wouldn't the Muslim followers in the Christ's endtimes kingdom pray over their beloved leader when he passes away?</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"does not Bukhari say that he will descent amongst us and judge the world?"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>If you're talking about the actual Day of Judgment, then no. The prophets aren't the Judge, only God is the Judge. If Jesus comes back to actually rule on earth in his long overdue role of King of Israel, then his judging will be on the level of David (pbuh) and Solomon (pbuh) as an earthly king only.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"3. Why should he FIGHT the people for the cause of Islam, when the message and teachings of Jesus NEVER was Islam nor FIGHTING in the first place?"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>In the early days of Islam, when the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was still in Mecca, the status of his mission was the same as that of Jesus' mission and he hadn't enough followers to be in a kingly role. After the Hijrah to Medina, then Muhammad had attained the level of a fully-realized Prophet-King of the One God and was now like Moses (pbuh). The Christ would have also had a chance to reach that level if his people hadn't rejected him, so he's returning both to fulfil his prophethood-ruler mission and live out the rest of his earthly lifespan.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"4. He will break the cross"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>The Pauline-influenced councils of Constantine usurped Jesus' true message and transformed it into the trinitarian paganism we know today, so of course King Jesus would wreck that blasphemy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: "<i>kill swine</i> [...] <i>And what on earth did the swine(s) do to him to be killed?</i> 😂"</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm sure it's just the for-profit swine distribution industry he will "flip the tables" on and kill, not the poor animals themselves. lol Killing innocent animals during battle isn't part of the Islamic rules for war.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"and abolish jizyah..."</i></div><div><br /></div><div>When Jesus returns, he'll <u>DEFINITELY</u> and unambiguously be Muslim, so the Jews and Christians who recognize him will absolutely revert to Al-Islam. Naturally, they won't have to pay the jizya anymore since they will be Muslims, too. Any foolish Jews & Christians who stubbornly refuse to let go of their corrupt nonsense will face the invincible sword of King Jesus and the unrepentant slain certainly won't need to pay the jizya tax either, will they?</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"Jesus will do all that"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Insha'Allah.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"but is it not established by Allah?"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>What? Who else would establish all of this? Why are you confused? Allah is the One you call "The Father" — the Only True God — who directs the Prophet-King Jesus (pbuh) as He so Wills.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"Why would he now come and abolish it?"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Because we operate on God's timing, not the other way around. Jesus didn't even know the hour of his return, right? So, we're all waiting on God's Signal. Why do people who are supposed to believe in God always asking when God is going to do something or another, as if He's not the One in charge? How spiritually immature the People of the Book are!</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"Is it because its evil?"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Some of it is evil (like this ridiculous 'cross' business) while other items just outlive their natural usefulness after a time.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ruthy wrote: <i>"The Hadiths itself are contradicting, confusing, stupid, senseless and irritating!"</i></div><div><br /></div><div>You lack patience, and you just don't know enough.

And I say that because, you see, the true prophet must receive a direct call from God, especially if he will be the founder of a religion. Mohammed didn't receive a direct call from God.</div><div>Read more....[sic]</div><div>Mohammed Was Muhammad a true prophet?</div><div>Was Muhammad a true prophet?</div><div><br /></div><div>Mohammed was not a true prophet. And I say that because, you see, the true prophet must receive a direct call from God, especially if he will be the founder of a religion. Mohammed is the founder of Islam. Moses received a direct call from God. Mohammed didn't receive a direct call from God. The story is very interesting. He was in the cave of Hira, outside of Mecca, and there, a spirit appeared to Mohammed. And then, the spirit squeezed Mohammed very tightly, that he thought that he was going to die. And the spirit said to Mohammed, "Read." Mohammed was illiterate, he could not read. And he said, "I cannot read." Then the spirit squeezed him more tightly that he thought he was going to die. And the spirit said to him, "Read!" "I cannot read," Mohammed answered. Then the spirit squeezed him more tightly. He was afraid that he was going to die. And he said, "Read!" He said, "What shall I read?" The words should be recited because he could not read. How could you command someone who doesn't know how to read, read? You say to him, "Recite!" And then he said, "What shall I read?" And he said, "Read, in the name of thy Lord, who created man from the clot," etc, etc. So the Quran is not the invention of Mohammed. The Quran was given to him by that spirit who appeared to him at the cave of Hira. The Muslims say, that the spirit was Gabriel the angel. They say the angel Gabriel is the spirit who appeared to Mohammed at the cave of Hira , and he squeezed him tightly.</div><div><br /></div><div>But listen, when you go the Bible, Gabriel appeared to many people. Gabriel appeared to Daniel, and Daniel was scared. And he said, "Do not be afraid, Daniel." Then he appeared Zecharia, the father of John the Baptist. And he was afraid, and Gabriel said, "Do not be afraid, do not be afraid." Then he appeared to Mary. And Mary was troubled, and Gabriel said, "Do not be afraid." But that spirit who met Mohammed and squeezed him, left him very troubled. He was scared to death. And when he went back to his wife Khadigah, he said, "I am scared, I am scared! I am trembling?" She said, "What?" He said, "I don't know, I don't know. I am afraid that I am possessed." Then she took him to a bishop in Mecca, by the name of Waraka Bin Nawfal, who was her cousin, and she told him about what happened. And this Waraka, the bishop of the Amunit cult in Mecca said to her, "Oh, be quiet. Be quiet. Mohammed will be the prophet of the Arabs."</div><div><br /></div><div>So the one who declared Mohammed a prophet was the bishop of Mecca. And that is the historical fact. So the Quran is not the invention of Mohammed. It was dictated to him by that spirit. And I want to tell you something, it's not a miracle, because any book would not be a miracle. Any book, you know, Homer wrote the Iliad, and Odyssey, it's not a miracle. Shakespeare wrote many books, it's not a miracle. Plato wrote many books, not a miracle. The books cannot be a miracle because if I cannot understand the language, I cannot confirm if it's a miracle or not. The miracle is to raise somebody, to heal somebody, to give the sight to somebody, these are miracles! But to tell me that a book is a miracle, I don't buy that!</div><div><br /></div><div>Exodus: 3:2-6</div><div><br /></div><div>Sirat Ibn Hisham</div><div><br /></div><div>Daniel 8:15-19</div><div><br /></div><div>Luke 1:13</div><div><br /></div><div>Luke 1:26-31</div><div><br /></div><div><u>References</u>:</div><div>The Bible: <span style="color: red;">Exodus: 3:2-6</span></div><div><span style="color: red;">2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.</span></div><div><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: red;">3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.</span></div><div><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: red;">4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses.

The unseen entities on the <i>Otherside</i> are all too willing to instruct their eager pupil in the shamanistic arcane arts, but Mort’s studies must take a back seat when his second sight discovers a mysterious, thieving menace stalking the showrooms of a famous Oasis City museum, a place dear to his heart from childhood. Mort & Pugroff desperately attempt to rescue an ancient artifact the entities pilfer before they are able to unleash a literal hell on earth upon humanity. But all of this may be in vain as that very earth belches up a diabolical force that renders Dragon’s Fang itself useless, while Pugroff displays symptoms of a sickness that very well may result in an actual Armageddon of total destruction!<br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""tahoma" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;">____________<br />Graphic novel<br /></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">6.14” x 9.21”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""tahoma" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;">Perfect binding</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""tahoma" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">150 pages, b&w interiors</span></span><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span><span face=""tahoma" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;">www.mrasheed.com</span></div></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">***********************</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - I made this Monsters 101 sneak peek entry specifically to link to it from <a href="https://www.mrasheed.com/2024/01/brian-cronin-cbr-review-of-monsters-101.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">the Brian Cronin review page</span></a>. Brian reviewed a bunch of 'African-American' comics over on CBR for 2014 Black History Month, and I drop-shipped him all ten of my recently-completed graphic novel series to take advantage of the free press. When I got the notice that the review was published, I noticed that within the entry, Brian said he never received Book Six. I promptly contacted my printer and they confirmed that they had sent it out with the rest of them. I kept an eye on his review to see if the Book Six part would update once it finally arrived. It never did. I reached out to Brian a couple months later in an Facebook DM he responded to before and asked him to let me know when he received it. He said he would.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And now the original CBR review page is gone. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I let it go, though I do still think about it every now and again. Monsters 101, Book Six does stand out in the series. I put a lot of fun genre stuff in the sixth title of Monsters 101. There was also a lot of racial stuff, too. Something happened in Book Four that triggered my co-protagonist Pugroff to initiate a stereotype-based running gag to piss off Mort that finally came to a head. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That was very important for my two protagonists' character development. I also introduced Thundermine, who functioned as a tribute to my father, though from an antagonist angle. The character represented my dad's rage, and his story was a loose caricature of a real life event.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLCINPcd9AlpgR0egaWEsKZHKvv5FKzztwI0xZDcuybXSWxVLsoYp6IZC8MP_R1ZmtXx4nSu4xvIIYws7TnEqckE3yb1K4WqnJJH0MULIjRaTUff9oR9xKxqJ0jwtyA4mybU765M8Z7de-aFfsuWVPdbQsGLCq7w-kmU1fqHR6vzqThb7FTVw-euxnDtv/s3300/thundermine_profile%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3300" data-original-width="2550" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLCINPcd9AlpgR0egaWEsKZHKvv5FKzztwI0xZDcuybXSWxVLsoYp6IZC8MP_R1ZmtXx4nSu4xvIIYws7TnEqckE3yb1K4WqnJJH0MULIjRaTUff9oR9xKxqJ0jwtyA4mybU765M8Z7de-aFfsuWVPdbQsGLCq7w-kmU1fqHR6vzqThb7FTVw-euxnDtv/w309-h400/thundermine_profile%20(2).jpg" width="309" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I don't know if the story and character would've turned out the same if dad was still alive when I wrote it. I would've had a chance to pick his brain about the incident and gain more insight. I also wouldn't have wanted to annoy him, since dad devoured everything I created, including the first seven or eight chapters of Monsters 101 that were in the can at that time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A long time ago, Dad used to work in the Chrysler assembly plant back in Michigan. His favorite hobby (probably outside of golf maybe...?) was to debate the regulars at his favorite restaurants, book stores and at the job. He kept a little stack of oft-referenced books in the truck. lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm trying to find that old Richard Pryor bit, where he said his father used to reference this sports almanac's stats & figures just so he could (<i>"I got the </i><u>BOOK</u><i>, n*gga! I'll show you!"</i>) flex on his boys. The bit used to crack me up because it reminded me so much of my own dad's style.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One of the books in dad's stack was called <i>Medical Curiosities</i> (1892) by George M. Gould & Walter L. Pyle. I remember watching the commercial for it back in the late 1970s, sitting on the carpet in front of our old floor model television, and dad getting VERY excited about it. He ordered it that day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhn9aRi5Gs8QSBBk98HBjJ4Hz2ZsbWpP_KOvGTRNhTQEnLZjyK0WAzRNZfWyJ0SRokSPOz8-Y4Wqj_I8RvDFIPAnF4ehQES7iW_qflIojSDjD1ZAwfhV1Z8OdsNyWmNzV30odr9lWZIVOhGbCruQfw9_VO-bn9cVg9Ex3_MVE459BZoOZGQXfpwZAnBJCuL" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="391" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhn9aRi5Gs8QSBBk98HBjJ4Hz2ZsbWpP_KOvGTRNhTQEnLZjyK0WAzRNZfWyJ0SRokSPOz8-Y4Wqj_I8RvDFIPAnF4ehQES7iW_qflIojSDjD1ZAwfhV1Z8OdsNyWmNzV30odr9lWZIVOhGbCruQfw9_VO-bn9cVg9Ex3_MVE459BZoOZGQXfpwZAnBJCuL=w317-h400" width="317" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One of the entries featured a certain demographic being born with 6-inch tails, so I can just imagine the nature of the debates going down at Chrysler. It also led to the incident that I ended up caricaturing for my Monsters 101, Book Six opening chapter. People were mad. lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When he was stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam War, the natives would lift up the back of the ADOS soldiers' shirts looking for the tails that the white soldiers insisted they would find. Because my dad had the definitive proof of who <u>really</u> had the tails, he made enemies for the revelation.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">His work colleagues at Chrysler vandalized some equipment and spray painted obscenities on the wall, etc., and wrongfully blamed it all on dad. The company blindly laid dad off, and my folks promptly sued.

General "Thunderbolt" Ross had transferred his mind into the body of the electrical elemental alien creature called Zzzax and <u>THAT</u> was the problem. Listen, if you were actually going to give General Ross powers and have him fight the Hulk, that's what you're gonna came up with? Really? I was really disappointed. For one, the best Hulk fights are the ones when he's battling big, super-strong bruisers like him. You made General Ross an energy guy who just flies around, mostly incorporeal, zapping at the Hulk at distance. Lame. That's just as unsatisfactory as the abstract battle with Nick Nolte's knockoff Absorbing-Man character at the end of <a href="https://letterboxd.com/mrasheedcartoon/film/hulk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Ang Lee's <i>Hulk</i> (2003) movie</span></a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">After reading that comic, I would play around with the idea of giving General Ross powers for REAL to solve how that would work for me.

The milk money stealing, nerd tripping, rule breaking bully from every school in the country and every John Hughes movie of the 80's, and he's pretty proud of that fact. When we first see Willy who is known as ‘The Pugg' by his victims he's turning a girl upside down to get her money for the day. Willy seems to run the school like the warden at a prison and he is almost unstoppable when the teachers aren't around. However, someone is watching Willy, someone who even he is afraid of and will have to eventually answer to. Willy runs into these ‘people' on the outskirts of town in the form of three monsters that want him to bring them other kids to eat. Apparently, children are a delicacy where they come from and they need a supplier, in exchange, they will turn Willy into a monster. However, Willy isn't well liked and after being caught attacking a student is threatened with expulsion, if he attacks another. His attempts at being nice land him three friends; Jerome, a young foreign exchange student, Mort, his primary target in the school, and Katina a girl whom he inadvertently saves from another bully. These three interactions will shape his life for rest of the book and change the way Willy Pugg interacts with the world around him.<div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiRUmv1Lon6ld5rZEZeT4Gl0hUOXk9j1cFJ3v9PG-jAfiSUwdmWFsMkmGnjbie-3HnZexkGISGLoKpmJR2DhCpGWrunCqrw_SptgfTjT0dsewkSDcFB_tprs9-xsnWsU9CYovNCpUlw7t10WFeXvu82PqMjZ4YBfuavuoX5jCOFfhrzun_BYSpBAD6bMJDH" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiRUmv1Lon6ld5rZEZeT4Gl0hUOXk9j1cFJ3v9PG-jAfiSUwdmWFsMkmGnjbie-3HnZexkGISGLoKpmJR2DhCpGWrunCqrw_SptgfTjT0dsewkSDcFB_tprs9-xsnWsU9CYovNCpUlw7t10WFeXvu82PqMjZ4YBfuavuoX5jCOFfhrzun_BYSpBAD6bMJDH=w267-h400" width="267" /></a></div><br /><div><b>Story</b></div><div> </div><div>I will be honest when I started to read this book I wasn't expecting much. The idea of a comic book aimed a younger audiences never inspires confidence in me as they're sometimes campy and nonsensical, that being said this was the most emotionally jarring comic I have read since Gaiman's Sandman. Rasheed does a great job of making us hate this character in the onset, when he tries to be nice to people and they turn him down there is no question about why. Willy Pugg is one of the best villains I have seen in a comic in a long time simply because he is real. We all knew a Willy Pugg, some as his victims others as bystanders and some of those who have challenged him. This isn't your handsome jock, Flash Thompson bully, this is your emotionally damaged, broken home bully who in their heart just wants to be understood like everyone else. The character of Katina is that chance for him and probably the thing that saves his soul, and though their relationship cannot be described as a romance, there is true love at work, the kind that young children feel for each other and the kind that adults lose as they grow.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcQ2de9zVKZIqftSqW-_D9JKN3xsSu7UlBR3Xt263F7zLp77fS0C1TB_NUIYxeUqtGSEo-A9AZ9-N7Bqx0nFFHa8HYRxLn5QW8TvPmnmdj6iM39Zi5Q9fOVHu-ikZbuOIstSsFCMA-Vv7MRhvWs3Fw5VuFThjTP3QdcwTmZmNj0S6JiN3TTkb707efI6ax" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcQ2de9zVKZIqftSqW-_D9JKN3xsSu7UlBR3Xt263F7zLp77fS0C1TB_NUIYxeUqtGSEo-A9AZ9-N7Bqx0nFFHa8HYRxLn5QW8TvPmnmdj6iM39Zi5Q9fOVHu-ikZbuOIstSsFCMA-Vv7MRhvWs3Fw5VuFThjTP3QdcwTmZmNj0S6JiN3TTkb707efI6ax=w267-h400" width="267" /></a></div><br /><div><b>Pictures</b></div><div><br /></div><div>I give props to anyone who writes and draws their own comics. M.Rasheed wrote and drew a 150 page graphic novel and while it can get a bit inconsistent towards the end, it’s more than understandable. His inks are crisp and the way he foreshadows the ending in Willy’s silhouettes is great. I’m surprised this isn’t run as comic strip in a news paper as it reminds me of classics like Gasoline Alley in some subtle ways, with simple facial structure that is also capable of conveying complex emotion.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgbZhwpvuRHI4aoEQfGJkBg_8ROoVUgGC9o-g8tALyPJZEf_hc5OVGwULJncaZQ7G75QbUlW_crRbC6c7HBcopNTEd-8uO8-HxXWSVLkbEzzV9nwFut2JculqOHbMi55_IgG4yF7q7lPEbOeBGP7WepPsNG6yqEbVKixxfwvmGY8EYJeCGwKVMIDNMz-fGM" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgbZhwpvuRHI4aoEQfGJkBg_8ROoVUgGC9o-g8tALyPJZEf_hc5OVGwULJncaZQ7G75QbUlW_crRbC6c7HBcopNTEd-8uO8-HxXWSVLkbEzzV9nwFut2JculqOHbMi55_IgG4yF7q7lPEbOeBGP7WepPsNG6yqEbVKixxfwvmGY8EYJeCGwKVMIDNMz-fGM=w267-h400" width="267" /></a></div><br /><div><b>The Real</b></div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>I loved this story, there were times when I felt a little unsettled by the sheer brutality of the main character, but it worked with the way the story played out. Willy Pugg was already a monster, but by the end, to keep a promise he must learn how to become a man, or at least a human boy. I'd recommend this for people of any age as it is not only a great read but an audit on our current society. With bullying on the rise in school as well as online I think something like this might serve as a tool for discussing the problem.

A quick note – since this month is so relatively short, I’ll be featuring an extra comic every week, for a total of 32 comics spotlighted! <strike>Here is a list of all the comics spotlighted so far!</strike><p></p><p>I apologize for the recent delay. M. Rasheed mailed me copies of nearly his entire 10-book Monsters 101 series (each book is about 150 pages). That’s a looot of comic books to read but it’s also a lot of comics to mail, so I figured I really should just review them all. So the end result was my schedule was thrown off a bit. I’ll try to catch up today and I’ll be back on schedule hopefully by the start of the new week.</p><p>With that said, in this installment we take at the M. Rasheed’ thirteen-year epic, Monsters 101 (<a href="https://www.mrasheed.com/2024/01/sneak-peek-monsters-101-book-six-pieces.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">I didn’t actually receive the sixth volume</span></a>, so I’ll just be reviewing 9 out of the 10 books)…</p><p>Right off the bat, let me tell you, Monsters 101 is definitely quite unlike pretty much every other comic I have read. Rasheed is a strong cartoonist but the style of his art is that of an all-ages comic. However, he makes a point to tell a story that is definitely not all-ages. As you can see from the covers above, he specifically warns people on each comic that it is for mature readers. Here’s the thing, though, in the nine books that I read, I could probably make, like, ten edits and the books would be readable for, if not “all-ages,” certainly at least, like, a fourth grader. People still die, but I don’t think that means that a book can’t/shouldn’t be read by pre-teens. Heck, plenty of people die in the Harry Potter books, right? Moreover, the vast majority of the series tells a fairly normal fantasy adventure.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQmpbWc66yKc0AboctixpDlpXhIu8sYcBa9pDgoBzWCmeQZH9YskxI7J0l_68VX_VIVvtCd9eHff0WSfSrMC5d7q7BWdYvB0z_NTuMRZ6xoC6sqT9g_Wr8zKvchWYLterxiRkHyC251p1wDGzSqmtDAzE0GcRE5qk3kOiA2tU8MqFZCmnKw6wZ6KLMC39O" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="754" data-original-width="488" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQmpbWc66yKc0AboctixpDlpXhIu8sYcBa9pDgoBzWCmeQZH9YskxI7J0l_68VX_VIVvtCd9eHff0WSfSrMC5d7q7BWdYvB0z_NTuMRZ6xoC6sqT9g_Wr8zKvchWYLterxiRkHyC251p1wDGzSqmtDAzE0GcRE5qk3kOiA2tU8MqFZCmnKw6wZ6KLMC39O=w259-h400" width="259" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sample splash page from <br />Monsters 101, Book Three: <br />"Devil Take the Hindmost" <br />CHAPTER TWO - "Tcharen City" <br />pg. 29</td></tr></tbody></table><br />There’s really not a whole lot of “darkness” in the series (besides some occasional killing).

One day, though, Pugg is accosted by, well, monsters…<p></p><p>They admire him for his bullying and offer him a deal. If he brings them kids to eat, they will turn him into a monster. If he doesn’t, then they’ll just eat him themselves. And they can get at him wherever he goes, so he is kind of screwed.</p><p>It is a fascinating exploration about the idea of how much evil can you do before you really ARE a monster before TECHNICALLY becoming an actual monster. In a moment of chivalry earlier in the story, though, Pugg saves a girl from a different bully. She becomes enamored with Pugg and even after seeing him deliver a kid to the monsters (it is pretty messed up), she believes that there is goodness within him. Ultimately, she teams up with the kid that Pugg was picking on, Mort, to round up a bunch of kids to stop the monsters. By now, Pugg has officially been transformed into a monster.</p><p>The book ends with Pugg embracing his inner hero, but not before he loses someone very close to him. It’s a touching and bittersweet ending. Really, Volume 1 could easily just be read as a complete tale.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh5N4h_azESi2-Qwt_ulIOe-TzkZRiXd8eMp7_zzYEUhHaIk0NPvMu_4hsR7kr8fqwAuF5gTbMM8L-QRWAosTy3EhzaW8GmuUdQcQ-n2oH72OIyOva8N9d75MnBAL9E2-6um_449Swnfju-VDRJrDnxGl4sF2VGznyyFMDkX2JNnpL2RVFIZz2Hvjh9P2Di" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="410" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh5N4h_azESi2-Qwt_ulIOe-TzkZRiXd8eMp7_zzYEUhHaIk0NPvMu_4hsR7kr8fqwAuF5gTbMM8L-QRWAosTy3EhzaW8GmuUdQcQ-n2oH72OIyOva8N9d75MnBAL9E2-6um_449Swnfju-VDRJrDnxGl4sF2VGznyyFMDkX2JNnpL2RVFIZz2Hvjh9P2Di=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Monsters 101, Book Two: <br />"Heroes & Devils"</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />And then things go a WHOLE other direction, as Rasheed basically just turns the book into a fantasy adventure series. Which is fine, of course, I am not knocking that, it’s just an interesting transition. It’s really a lot like if William Golding wrote a sequel to the Lord of the Files where the surviving kids all formed a team of adventurers, using the skills that they learned on the island to fight crime.<p></p><p>Book Two pits Pugg (now calling himself Pugroff) against a superhero, who happens to be the father of the aforementioned foreign exchange student who was killed by the monsters. The book also develops the relationship between Mort and Pugroff. Mort is helping hide Pugroff, but not just because Mort’s a good guy, but because he has always wanted to be a REAL magician, and now that he knows that monsters exist then that must mean that MAGICK exists, so he figures if he hangs out with Pugroff long enough, he’ll get the chance to do some magic. That wish comes true when the two comes across a magical talisman that the monsters who Pugroff defeated in the first book had and it transports them to another dimension. When there, they run afoul of a jerky young devil and his sweet sister. When they meet the sister, they end up pledging to rescue her brother and that’s when they meet a MONSTER magician! This sets up the third volume, when they are now guests of the devil kingdom where Mort will begin learning magick (as the girl they help is a magician). The second volume is split pretty evenly between the superhero/Pugroff conflict and the adventure in the other dimension. The superhero is an interesting character, a man who uses all of his wealth to become the most powerful superhero out there (genetic modifications, etc.) but you can see that it is all about ego and not really about doing good. He’s an intriguing foil for a monster who’s trying to be hero. The new magical characters introduced in the second volume are interesting, as well, especially Benkom, a monster who is trying to become a magician himself.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjaq0K7GY95CqgP_v_xIkR2RzcyeZTeqgf4DiVHIRcGDjtdB5GvDeW9yXitL1Fe8okI6qj7i_j88FIor2oZriSPXTbHvXNsH7LyisWjt61rUDBxrA9tIwhhPWD2MfYXH8RGmqDpkOIpEbTf6Edol30PJJBn5VxHfTU39SmL7VcjJtmUdfishPPzUWpo6Ymi" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="409" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjaq0K7GY95CqgP_v_xIkR2RzcyeZTeqgf4DiVHIRcGDjtdB5GvDeW9yXitL1Fe8okI6qj7i_j88FIor2oZriSPXTbHvXNsH7LyisWjt61rUDBxrA9tIwhhPWD2MfYXH8RGmqDpkOIpEbTf6Edol30PJJBn5VxHfTU39SmL7VcjJtmUdfishPPzUWpo6Ymi=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Monsters 101, Book Three: <br />"Devil Take the Hindmost"</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Book Three takes place in the Devil’s dimension, where Mort is a hero but Pugroff is seen as basically his servant. Meanwhile, the monsters from the first volume are back to cause some trouble, along with a new villain, a dragon. The devil girl that we met in the previous volume turns out to be a PRINCESS and this gets Mort into trouble when he has to put the little magick that the princess taught him to duel against the devil that is betrothed to the princess. There’s a lot of good world-building in this volume, as we learn more about the world and the customs of the devils. However, while Mort wants to be a magician, that doesn’t mean that he wants to live in a devil dimension and his spurning of the princess, even though he does so nicely, will have consequences down the line.<p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEheddLwz22WTacf6MHPaN65gqMoue8sX4xP_fkbbmyvmO3AaNu-Ss_Ehzu7H1hdvgutsW48ng16TmMRR-42u5DQTNX3E2Y-vY4WlpKAm3em1nnS_GSKh_KDj6g8HO4_--u3Je2cJYwRQu5N9XF7Lj-uIHFIvKqajxY3LEHL3U5eycRClW8ia7-JIxqca1JD" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="408" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEheddLwz22WTacf6MHPaN65gqMoue8sX4xP_fkbbmyvmO3AaNu-Ss_Ehzu7H1hdvgutsW48ng16TmMRR-42u5DQTNX3E2Y-vY4WlpKAm3em1nnS_GSKh_KDj6g8HO4_--u3Je2cJYwRQu5N9XF7Lj-uIHFIvKqajxY3LEHL3U5eycRClW8ia7-JIxqca1JD=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Monsters 101, Book Four: <br />"Late Enrollment"</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Book Four has the monsters from Volume 1 trying to improve their lot in life by finding a magical weapon of their own (they are set on their way by a duplicitous dragon who figures that he can just steal the weapon later from them). It is actually pretty amusing watching these brutes try to solve riddles and the like. Mostly they try to use brute force to get past the challenges required to get an ancient faerie weapon (we get a quick chapter just giving the origin of the original owner of the super-powerful axe). Once in possession of the axe, though, Maescus (the head of the monsters from Book 1) actually tries to strategize a bit and decides to try to become the king of the monsters, with the help of Mort’s magic. This leads to a journey to the land of monsters, where Pugroff meets a monster similar to him who becomes a mentor of sorts. We also see the monster king. The monster king has an interesting set-up – throughout the series, whoever is the monster king gets challenged CONSTANTLY. It’s a pretty funny gag by Rasheed. Anyhow, Maescus’ plan fails miserably and it is up to Pugroff and Mort to save the day before the monster king can kill Pugroff’s new mentor. At the end of the volume, Pugroff ends up in possession of the super axe. He rescues the other monsters, who from this point forward now become basically supporting characters. It is interesting to see the way Rasheed plays with the idea of morality when you are a monster. To wit, can we really call a monster evil for killing humans? Are we evil for killing chickens and cows?<p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgy8hjN7alQWNSEw_P6NBIhlWNk70jVwTqbfV6UzZ2_P09FDHgB9vfESCgXZTIEnjTIiw2SDKTZ5NvfhpfOL1iJJfF2T25ppS5MT8VJfepLUw86V7wbOoHwnztkIJdxX97iGTh_ljVptZB0fs7iWcnhuWDUzAhhnIPFpOLNaCCCZavdFkGgBNzgxUSa4CMh" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="410" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgy8hjN7alQWNSEw_P6NBIhlWNk70jVwTqbfV6UzZ2_P09FDHgB9vfESCgXZTIEnjTIiw2SDKTZ5NvfhpfOL1iJJfF2T25ppS5MT8VJfepLUw86V7wbOoHwnztkIJdxX97iGTh_ljVptZB0fs7iWcnhuWDUzAhhnIPFpOLNaCCCZavdFkGgBNzgxUSa4CMh=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: medium; text-align: start;">Monsters 101, Book Five: <br />"Monsters & Monarchy"</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Book Five brings the boys back to Earth, where we discover that their old principal used to be a superhero!

There’s also an interesting sequence where Pugroff discovers bullying among the various monsters and decides to take a stance against bullying.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiZbVkrMtCvng1JeFccpYamy97SMhP_vgVE348D5mwR0I-qp0O3ld6TjJua129vw2W3-j0zcCD4Vy330DGAUgWVJ3fOSGdxUgnNQAld_SCxV2iZ2ihM7OaXCTAqgTbmpird6L3Tb8PU40jO_f06NsWUkWbZ5L3jmUmUWnUflw6UnjfO3lGoTqV_WwrgW57" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="406" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiZbVkrMtCvng1JeFccpYamy97SMhP_vgVE348D5mwR0I-qp0O3ld6TjJua129vw2W3-j0zcCD4Vy330DGAUgWVJ3fOSGdxUgnNQAld_SCxV2iZ2ihM7OaXCTAqgTbmpird6L3Tb8PU40jO_f06NsWUkWbZ5L3jmUmUWnUflw6UnjfO3lGoTqV_WwrgW57=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Monsters 101, Book Six: <br />"Pieces of the Puzzle"</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><a href="https://www.mrasheed.com/2024/01/sneak-peek-monsters-101-book-six-pieces.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">I didn’t get Book Six</span></a>.<p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTzdadHhVZe5SS7j9E0RdoiA9u5GUbs9hQJh77js7MwlQgNcEr0HLEfj65t-wwKvOtzgJ6nJY5luvqXl4YOwribF7NGmtpggLINETpdCcQr-PdcoAAFsHR_K09NBTSv5roPRlrNWIOPcnHpASKLUjOJChXCwJJOOMjJH93S7ZU3sz3QT8OqFu6ZjdAqZ9V" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="407" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhTzdadHhVZe5SS7j9E0RdoiA9u5GUbs9hQJh77js7MwlQgNcEr0HLEfj65t-wwKvOtzgJ6nJY5luvqXl4YOwribF7NGmtpggLINETpdCcQr-PdcoAAFsHR_K09NBTSv5roPRlrNWIOPcnHpASKLUjOJChXCwJJOOMjJH93S7ZU3sz3QT8OqFu6ZjdAqZ9V=w267-h400" width="267" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Monsters 101, Book Seven: <br />"Eye in the Sky"</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Book Seven opens with Pugroff as the king of the monsters, but he ends up possessed by an evil being known as Irylor. Irylor (in Pugroff’s body) then basically declares war on Earth. This volume is almost entirely just balls to the wall action as a team of superheroes shows up to fight the possessed Pugroff. When that doesn’t work, some Earth-based magicians take their chances. Mort teams up with these Earth magicians (since Volume 3, he’s been searching for an Earth-based magician to mentor him) and their battle for Pugroff’s soul is pretty intense. The end result is Pugroff becoming human again.<p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjeRzdkEoUtPRXaXkD_L-WOcDvHYyp1zsAyPdQeVl0CzDcvPnZgYut_zNajxZ-gItLD3PdtospBoWsEpyJVgFOzK604S6A01Kf0BvGwKbCr7XdAqOHl1Qa-sh_fVMSqVaaJVaWMU0T9W2LM9y79Aq1hqSp8tm0MXcB4WLxXvZFX4Gz-Kx3eD7koLFme28aC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="406" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjeRzdkEoUtPRXaXkD_L-WOcDvHYyp1zsAyPdQeVl0CzDcvPnZgYut_zNajxZ-gItLD3PdtospBoWsEpyJVgFOzK604S6A01Kf0BvGwKbCr7XdAqOHl1Qa-sh_fVMSqVaaJVaWMU0T9W2LM9y79Aq1hqSp8tm0MXcB4WLxXvZFX4Gz-Kx3eD7koLFme28aC=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Monsters 101, Book Eight: <br />"Little Boy King"</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Book Eight is split between Mort’s further development as a magician now that he knows how to enter the spirit world, mixed with Pugg’s situation as the king of the monsters while not actually BEING a monster.

He first must deal with the unresolved situation in the devil dimension and then must also continue his training. He comes across a group of “magicians” who turn out to want something less noble from the pursuit of magic. It’s a fascinating exploration of the power of being part of a “clique.” I was watching this week’s edition of Frontline on PBS and a big part of it was how companies were catering to teens by trying to make them feel PART of something (like being able to prove that you are one of the world’s biggest Hunger Games fans). Rasheed addresses a lot of those themes in Mort’s interactions with the “African Architects.” This also allows Rasheed to go on a riff about the way African culture has been European-ized when it comes to Ancient Egypt. The book ends with Pugroff beginning to make some waves with his new found kingdom.<p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLzN3ktfhvV8agu6cUlLdewAyPGYkjZI-vzMHjq9JLuQQSMcfwM9EtK-soV2Lg_gvPhwSwGx5sZBgmxwSf61O8BcqokY0wkI4Qg37YpFrYB9YQG8ORodWpaT2WLtSfw1cFIRgxVUpGf7DcRwnsSanEhHydQQLDHkY5oEhaRtJg-u-0_q7WOdDY3mx67_BS" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="406" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLzN3ktfhvV8agu6cUlLdewAyPGYkjZI-vzMHjq9JLuQQSMcfwM9EtK-soV2Lg_gvPhwSwGx5sZBgmxwSf61O8BcqokY0wkI4Qg37YpFrYB9YQG8ORodWpaT2WLtSfw1cFIRgxVUpGf7DcRwnsSanEhHydQQLDHkY5oEhaRtJg-u-0_q7WOdDY3mx67_BS=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Monsters 101, Book Ten: <br />"Class Dismissed"</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Book Ten basically wraps up everyone’s story, with Pugroff making a world for himself (while also sadly having to sever ties forever with humanity, since full monster Pugroff, well, you know, wants to eat humans) and Mort coming clean to his grandmother about his magick and also making strides of his own towards reaching the next level of being a magician. Also, there is a hilarious riff on the candy bars that Pugroff has been obsessed with the whole series (he has been stealing so many that the company has gone out of business – so his monster lackeys have to find a way to get the company to start making the candy bars again).<p></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

To make fun of and who knows what else, I have multiple accounts. For this man will try to block and personally blocked my main. Instagram is already investigating him. DM if you’re interested in proof. Much love to you guys and be careful who you trust online. For I am a man who can track IP. As well have ways of information you can’t imagine. Be afraid, but yet cautious on whose eyes you catch. For we will create a Revelation</p><p><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - @xxrevelations None of this is true. </p><p>This is a white racist who got triggered over my pro-Black American content. That's all.</p><p><b>Josh Hazlewood</b> (@xxrevelations) - @mrasheedcartoons white racist? You’re hilarious, you’re digging yourself in deeper waters. I have many black friends and friends you would be scared of. You’re the racist for “assuming” me to be one.</p><p><b>Josh Hazlewood</b> (@xxrevelations) - @mrasheedcartoons I have proof, all I want is an apology, like I said. If I don’t get one expect a phone call</p><p><b>Josh Hazlewood</b> (@xxrevelations) - @mrasheedcartoons you deleted your comment on a little girl who had her baby tooth pulled out. In the comment you were making fun of her a grown man.

I’m not a terrorist we are an organization. You just happen to be black and you’re playing your emotional card. You can apologize for when you were asking to for links to see kids.</p><p><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - 1.) You clearly do not love Black Americans since you pretended to be insulted when you saw a Black American joining in on teasing an accident-prone kid on the 'kidsgettingturnt' site as an excuse to cyber attack me.</p><p>2.) You're clearly a terrorist who is attacking me based on my lineage/heritage as a member of the Black American ethnic group.</p><p>3.) lol I literally mock-asked you if you had any links to videos you had also uploaded to 'kidsgettingturnt' site of your own kids getting hurt so I could tease you more personally, since you wanted to pretend to be so butthurt over my original comments. Now you're trying to pretend my request was both serious and suspicious because you are a cyber terrorist dirtbag.</p><p>You need to apologize to me and stop being a racist dirtbag.</p><p><b>Josh Hazlewood</b> (@rasheedcountdown) - @mrasheedcartoons ah I see, I’m racist for defending children.</p><p>You just so happen to be black, we are a community of a whole of many colors. For we are hidden. We have came across a lot like you who take advantage of the creation of God for use to protect themselves to point fingers.</p><p>I see you are lying now. We do not accept that.

Happy Martin Luther King Day. To me, Martin Luther King stood for a lot and he had a dream. That dream has not still been totally fulfilled because we still hate people for difference reasons that are really unjust reasons. So, if you can today, just think about what he did, all the sacrifices he made, the things he stood for and try to stand for those same things on a daily basis. Peace, God bless y'all and have a great day. </p><p><b>Monster Richard</b> (@monsterrichard951) - In my view, many of the so-called Black leaders are just pure race hustlers that try to divide and want animosity between different groups of people. However, I have a lot of respect for MLK Jr., and believe he was a great leader.</p><p><b>Muhammad Rasheed</b> - In my view, whites get defensive whenever racial topics come up because they know they did the Black American ethnic group dirty, but they don't want to be held accountable at all for their history of foulness. You all have a culture of cowardice and lack of integrity.</p><p><b>Monster Richard</b> - Let’s agree to disagree. I’m not responsible for something that happened 200 hundred years ago, and I don’t owe you anything. Let’s talk about accountability. Considering Asians and East Indians kick the white man’s azz in education achievement and income, and they’re racial / ethnic minorities, why do Blacks always blame racism for their problems. The disproportionate amount of Blacks in prison is not because of racism, it’s because they’re the ones committing a disproportionate amount of crime. If Blacks do not perform well on standardized tests, it’s not because of racism. It’s because they didn’t study / prepare themselves to learn and do well. Failure to recognize these things as the truth is cowardice. It’s easier to blame it on the even white man. Believe it or not most white people I know are color blind and judge others on the character. But, you’ve bought into the narrative of yt people are evil ra cists. That’s fine.

Immigration was reestablished as a systemic racism weapon against my people specifically with the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, which was the direct counter to the 1964 Civil Rights and 1965 Voting Rights Acts that Dr. King helped get signed. So the "POC/BIPOC" immigrant is just a support lackey of systemic racism, he's not an oppressed racial/ethnic minority.</p><p>monsterrichard951 wrote: <i>"why do Blacks always blame racism for their problems."</i></p><p>uhh... Because my problems in my country literally began in the 1600s, when the light-skinned descendants of the European ethnic tribes colluded to permanently delegate the enslaved Africans to a hereditary, chattel bondsman class. This act created the concept of "whiteness" which is the economic caste system aristocracy of the USA, maintained with racketeering, organized crime tactics. The point of which was to prevent my group from being able to accrue wealth to pass along through the generations, but instead add it to white wealth, which is the root cause of the racial wealth gap between our two groups. Throughout the last 400 yrs, every chance whites have had to fix this historic wrong they refused, while pretending in their chronic greed and evil that racism isn't real, the way you are doing in this thread.</p><p>monsterrichard951 wrote: "<i>The disproportionate amount of Blacks in prison is not because of racism"</i></p><p>Sure, it is. In fact, we can track it at two key points:</p><p>1.) The former slave holders placed the following loophole into the 13th Amendment:<i><span style="color: red;"> "...except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted..."</span></i> in order to continue the slave institution under a new name ("convict leasing"). </p><p>2.) After the lucrative manufacturing era ended by sending factory work overseas, the Reagan Administration unleased the designer drug called "crack" into the Black American (ADOS) community, which siphoned away our little bit of wealth to fund his CONTRA wars. <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Gary-Webb" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Investigative journalist Gary Webb discovered that the CIA orchestrated the entire "War on Drugs" scheme</span></a> and was killed, execution style, for his findings. The 1994 Crime Bill drafted by Joe Biden and signed by Bill Clinton effectively solidified the mass incarcerate 'convict leasing' program at the national level, which came with your manufactured "they’re the ones committing a disproportionate amount of crime" propaganda to keep the prisons filled with Black flesh. </p><p>monsterrichard951 wrote: <i>"If Blacks do not perform well on standardized tests, it’s not because of racism."</i></p><p>lol Sure, it is. Let's learn. In 1954, the Supreme Court found that "separate but equal" schooling was impossible to attain in the USA because of the legacy of racial discrimination against the ADOS population -- whites would ALWAYS hoard wealth & resources for themselves and exclude us when given any kind of opening to do so. Therefore, the Brown v Board of Education decision declared that ADOS had to go to white schools in order to get the education we needed to improve our quality of life. The response from the white American population was the concept of "white flight" -- where whites merely fled to the suburbs and refused to share their toys with ADOS. Creating political schemes like redlining/gerrymandering to hoard their quality schooling systems behind the racial wealth gap lines, <a href="https://archive.is/xYzjn" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">whites deliberately continued the old school segregation practice in the blatant defiance of the SCOTUS decision</span></a>. </p><p>monsterrichard951 wrote: <i>"It’s because they didn’t study / prepare themselves to learn and do well."</i></p><p>That's a lie. The ADOS ethnic group has always held high esteem for education, even more than our white counterparts. That's the entire point behind why you refused to comply with the 1954 SCOTUS decision and committed to cheating and political scams that favor your sneaky group. </p><p>monsterrichard951 wrote: <i>"Failure to recognize these things as the truth is cowardice."</i></p><p>lol The facts are actually on my side.

Since I've been faithfully fasting since I was a pre-teen, I had long ago gotten used to the hunger part of it, and can eat that ritual up like a champ with no complaint. In fact, after the previous 2022 Ramadan, I had started performing some of the voluntary fasts since I felt that I had the capacity for MORE. As I researched in this "more" spirit, I came across the following Qur'anic verse:</p><p><u><b><span style="color: red;"></span></b></u></p><blockquote><span style="color: red;"><u><b>Qur'an 17:79<br /></b></u><i>And pray in the small watches of the morning: it would be an additional prayer or spiritual profit for thee: soon will thy Lord raise thee to a Station of Praise and Glory!</i></span></blockquote><i></i><p></p><p>I looked up how the prophet Muhammad <i>(May the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him!)</i> performed this special Night Prayer (Tahajjud), and it turned out he would get up before dawn and do it with 8-rakats, followed by 3-rakats of the Witr prayer to formally close out the salat of the day. For Ramadan, he also performed an additional 8-rakats (Tarawih) right after Isha. This all seemed really challenging—and it was!—and I found that depriving myself of sleep at night in that way, returned the challenge of Ramadan that the food deprivation aspect of the ritual no longer provided. I looked up what simple good deeds I could do everyday, and found this gem:</p><p><span style="color: red;"><b><u>Al-Bukhari, 3119; Muslim, 2691</u></b><br /><i>Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever says</i> 'la ilaha ill-Allahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu’l-mulku wa lahu’l-hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadirun' <i>one hundred times in a day, it will be as if he freed ten slaves, and one hundred hasanat (good deeds) will be recorded for him, and one hundred sayiat (bad deeds) will be erased from him, and it will be a protection for him against the Shaytan all that day until evening comes. No one can do anything better than that except one who does more.”</i></span></p><p>Thrilled, I took the time to learn to recite it smoothly and added it to my dhikr (remembrance) folio.</p><p>At the end of Ramadan 2023, I found myself super-charged in faith & devotion and made the effort to increase my voluntary prayers to the max while I continued to get up at around 3am for the Night Prayer + Witr. Continuing my "more" research, I came across the following hadith:</p><p><span style="color: red;"><b><u></u></b></span></p><blockquote><span style="color: red;"><b><u>Musnad al-Ḥārith #126</u></b><br /><i>Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Allah will announce on the Day of Resurrection: Where are my neighbors? Where are my neighbors? The angels will say: Our Lord, who is befitting to be your neighbor? Allah will say: Where are my servants who frequented the masjids?”</i></span></blockquote><span style="color: red;"><i></i></span><p></p><p>"Allah's neighbor" seemed like some awesome lanyard flair to pick up. lol I also found a hadith where the prophet said that to walk to the masjid with the intention to make a mandatory prayer, it would give the same reward as making the Hajj. In fact, he said it would actually count as making the Hajj in case you never get to officially perform the pillar. I'd walked to masjids in Kuwait plenty of times to make the mandatory prayers, but never with the intention to take advantage of that particular <i>Mercy of Allah</i> benefit. I wanted it!</p><p>My problem at the time I read that was that I was no longer in a Muslim majority country, where there was a masjid seemingly every two feet, like a Detroit liquor store. My current adventure location didn't have any masjids at all, which meant there were all kinds of spiritual benefits I was missing out on (including the mandatory Friday <i>Jummah</i> prayer!), especially tragic now that I was actually made aware of them. This dilemma reminded me of a telephone discussion I had long ago when I was a young man in my 20s. I was living with my maternal grandparents at the time, but I no longer remember who was on the phone. I remember they were very excited that I was in Texas, and suggested that I should "establish a masjid" while I was there. I remember being appalled by the idea of it, like it seemed <u>LITERALLY</u> impossible for me to pull off, and I dismissed the ideal with a sniff. 26 years later, as I found myself without a masjid to go to, I recalled that old discussion from my new position in life, and started mentally working out the puzzle of how I would establish the first masjid in an environment even more alien to me than 1997 San Antonio, Texas was to my younger self. I reached out to the base Chaplain and told him my needs on 08 Jun 2023. </p><p>Skip-jump to 28 Jul 2023, and I found myself posing with the Camp Commander and his team for the official ribbon cutting of the first masjid in the area. <span style="color: red;">#WontHeDoIt</span> The whole thing worked out without a single hurdle; it was ridiculously easy. I was certainly <u>expecting</u> a whole lot of hurdles, and simply prepared to face them with fortitude, to add the great good deed of patient perseverance in the <i>Name of Allah</i> to my record, but no need. I enthusiastically walked up to the new masjid all the time so I could claim my 'Allah's neighbor' flair, even groggily walking there when I awoke for the Night Prayer/Witr. I would come to fully unlock the <i>dhikr</i> ritual (<i>'The People of Remembrance'</i> is also great lanyard flair!), reciting in the 2,000-3,000 range a day, most of it pointedly done in the masjid; remembering Allah and celebrating His praises within this new space for worship dedicated <u>ONLY</u> to Him and Him alone. I put together a promotional flyer and was pleased to surprise some recent reverts who joined me for Friday congregational prayers. 2023 proved to be the <i>Year of Ascension</i>. Glory be to Allah!</p><p><b>THE SHADOW</b><br />Even though the Commander's ribbon cutting event marked the official opening to the public, the space was actually ready on 15 Jul, when after a formal inspection with the Chaplain, I immediately began making salat in the new space. I also decorated, adding my favorite faith-inspiring Qur'anic verses, hadith and dhikr phrases to the display board (including the ones quoted here in red). One night, when I walked in for one of the late evening prayers, I saw a shadowy figure standing in the darkened room in front of the display board. I felt an instant flash of anger, that someone was messing around in the sanctuary, but when I turned on the lights, the 'figure' vanished. Embarrassed, I blinked at what was clearly an odd trick of the light, fully expecting to see whatever it was again the next time I opened the door at night, but this was not to be. I never saw it, or even a hint of what that shadowy image was again, leaving behind an odd mystery. </p><p>Is it possible that it was actually some kind of normally unseen spirit being that had somehow become partially visible to me due to all the heightened spiritual activity I had performed since the Spring? </p><p><b>THE MARK</b><br />The intensity of the spiritual high I was riding lasted until early fall. Every day, I made all ten sunnah (voluntary) prayers along with the mandatory five, in addition to the 11-rakat of the Night Prayer + Witr, along with thousands of dhikr chants throughout the day. One day, in the first week of August, I caught a glimpse of something weird in a bathroom mirror. It looked for all the world like a darkened birthmark high up on my forehead where I touch down during the prostration position in salah. I dismissed it at first, thinking it wasn't actually possible. I pray on a mat that sits on carpet; it's not like I'm setting my head on hot stones, coarse sand or gravel... how could I possible get that prostration mark on me in the comforts of a 21st century life? Over the next week or so, it became increasingly obvious that it was indeed the prostration mark. </p><p><span style="color: red;"><b><u></u></b></span></p><blockquote><span style="color: red;"><b><u>Qur'an 48:29 </u></b><br />Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, but compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves in prayer, seeking Grace from Allah and His Good Pleasure. <span style="background-color: #fcff01;">On their faces are their marks, being the traces of their prostration</span>.</span></blockquote><p></p><p>I always assumed that the Qur'an's mention of the prostration marks were spiritual in nature <span face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #282829; font-size: 15px;">—</span> I remember reading that they would actually glow while on the Resurrection Field. But I found myself with the mark that came seemingly from earnestly seeking to please Allah by increasing my prayer habits from the mandatory five to purposely committing to the voluntary prayers as well. In just a matter of weeks, the effort burned an actual mark upon my body, the physical mechanics of which fail to make any sense to me. </p><p>With eight points of contact while in the sajdah prayer position, it's not like I'm putting <u>all</u> my weight on my forehead. I'm not. It's actually a comfortable position. I also prostrate on 2-3 layers of soft cloth material, so how is this mark on my forehead? lol What am I missing? Without a sensible material explanation, it forces me to speculate in the other direction. Hear me out:</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Allah wants us to strive to get closer to Him in paradise. We can get in by strictly adhering to the mandatory 5-prayers alone—which what I had been doing for years—but the prophets did way more than the bare minimum and they will be in the company of those nearest to Allah in the shadow of the Throne, not down at lowest tier where the bare minimum dwellers will be (collecting people's coats in the foyer). <br /><br /></li><li>Allah said that salah is how you get closer to Him, and prostration specifically is the act of being closer to God, in full submission. <br /><br /></li><li>Our physical bodies are not designed to be in proximity to God. When Allah showed Himself in His Majesty to Moses (pbuh), it killed the prophet instantly and Allah had to resurrect him. Moses bore the golden burnt effects of the event on his skin for the rest of his natural life. </li></ol><div>Perhaps frequent prayers performed in devout duty to Allah, done while honestly seeking His Face striving to reach a higher rank in paradise, is basically pressing your forehead against the mystic <i>third eye</i>, and when done with true sincerity, discipline, patience and constancy — the four items on which our good deeds will be evaluated on the Day of Judgment — the quality of your righteousness will actually cause that mark to appear on the area of prostration. I reference the <i>third eye</i> here only as an analogy, to conjure the image of prostration as submitting so sincerely to Allah's Will, that the believer is spiritually pressing himself against the <i>veil between realities</i>, with the pleased attention of the Lord of the worlds leaving an actual physical mark on this side of the veil. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's fun to play around with the idea in genre-fueled speculation, but without any sure knowledge, it can only really be a fruitless mental exercise. It may not be true, but the idea excites me and strengthens my faith!</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiKMBbtk-C9VOpvmp4PMcTk_E2CD1mCP-ZUmmkDsGfMBNq7BLhjR6S3SyVF8dM-gNAgOTyEZ4yaCle8JkaSSOh6-BISY8gobTiSV9YB1fylRbh3Ys4WMQG1qQBZkREHQYYPyPOP3pmuKU7hnzSUqBS7H27if8u2FoSNl_YPdlglb2oJ7cRN92vZnY-6XTxK" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="860" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiKMBbtk-C9VOpvmp4PMcTk_E2CD1mCP-ZUmmkDsGfMBNq7BLhjR6S3SyVF8dM-gNAgOTyEZ4yaCle8JkaSSOh6-BISY8gobTiSV9YB1fylRbh3Ys4WMQG1qQBZkREHQYYPyPOP3pmuKU7hnzSUqBS7H27if8u2FoSNl_YPdlglb2oJ7cRN92vZnY-6XTxK=w400-h208" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div>Peace.</div><p><br /><br />Very respectfully,<br /><br /><b>M.
