I intially put his long standing Islamophobia down to his upbringing as some Assyrians and Coptic Christians are indoctrinated to dislike (hate) Islam from youth. Unfortunately, Sam has been unable to curb his rebellion and resentment towards Muslims despite being in his 40s.
It seems as though Sam Shamoun's problems are in fact deep routed. In his younger days Shamoun dabbled with the ideas of the racist black supremacist group known as Nation of Islam (NOI).
The teachings of this group would appeal to rebellious and disaffected youth. This group is extremely racist towards White people.
The official beliefs as stated by the Nation of Islam have been outlined in books, documents, and articles published by the organization as well as speeches by Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, and other ministers. These include inflammatory statements as well as the pejorative use of the term “white devils” to refer to white people [2]
Louis Farrakhan has stated that "White people are potential humans…they haven’t evolved yet." (Philadelphia Inquirer, 3/18/00). [2]
Sam Shamoun, if I am not mistaken, left Christianity for the NOI and stayed with the NOI for FOUR (?) years. Four years (?) is along time for black supremacy especially considering Shamoun is Assyrian (not of African origins)! *
Sam Shamoun Admits to Leaving Christianity for the Racist NOI:
It appears Sam Shamoun has been unable to free himself of the shackles of discrimination and resentment. In his conversion back to Trinitarian Christianity he merely redirected his hatred, resentment and vilification away from a race of people but towards a religious group, Muslims (people of all races), and Islam. Sad :(
*NOTE: IT IS NOT CLEAR IF SHAMOUN STAYED WITH THE RACIST GROUP FOR 4 YEARS.

ReplyDeletesam shamoun used to be a nazi against european ppl
ReplyDeleteWhere in this video clip which features only Farhan speaking does it provide evidence that Sam was once a NOI?
ReplyDeleteTowards the end Shamoun confirms it.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I think he's lying about him being part of NOI, because on his website, he's brought up the beliefs of the members of NOI and attacked Islam. Yet in this video, he admitted that NOI was heretical. If he was really was part of NOI and knew it was heretical afterwards, why would he attack Islam? It is inconsistent and it seems he is lying.
ReplyDeleteAlso, where did Farhan get the idea that Shamoun converted to Islam? That's what Farhan said. This indicates Farhan knew something about this before Shamoun said anything.
Good Afternoon
