As I have stated before, let us not swirl around issues or assumtions of what the issues are.

"Judeo-Christian religion sprung out of Afrika...not the area known as middle east, but continental Afrika. Much information is available to substanciate that. Therefore Rastafari's goal is to return to the source/root, InI must look to the place where it all sprung forth...not a branch..seen?" I do not think that this has been questioned by anyone, certainly not by me. The Bible clearly states that Moses learned the wisdom of the Egyptians. And as I said that even up to recent times, many of the scholars who shaped even the Western versions of the Judaeo-Christian religions were Africans.

"I may be wrong but I thought Eja was against the focus being on the "Semite" Solomon and not on the "Hamite" Makeda. The bible said that people in the land of Sheba were pagans as if their indigenous livity had no merit within the Judeo-christian framework."

You thought wrong. I was also under that assumption, but it emerges that Eja hates any African who finds his inspiration from the Bible, Torah or Koran. What someone has tried to justify as the "blast of the message" is simply him coming out with this true sentiment. It is really deplorable, this man comes from a country that has been in the news over Christian-Muslim hatred, and you'd think he would be the first to seek tolerance.

When I read the Bible, I see a religion battling the other more established ones. Yet the ones to whom it had been given were always going astray. Obviously King Solomon received a lot of visitors, but this one, a well-educated, powerful African monarch embraced the Faith immediately. While Solomon was thinking his own thoughts, and hatching a scheme to get laid, God was thinking of transferring the Ark and the Solomonic bloodline to Africa. The copy that I have of the Imperial bloodline does in fact emphasise its Kushitic origins. (After all, they were kings already, whereas Solomon was only the second of the bloodline. In other words, most of the Davidic Kings have been Africans!!!!)

"Well, I think that one of the problems is that we tend to use Judeo-Christian terminology to describe the races of Mankind. Genetically, tell me what a semite is? Is it a mixture between Ham and Japhet? or is it a whole different racial category off it's own? If this is the case, how are we the same people? Similarities in culture and philosophy doesnt necessary denote the same people. As people migrate, they adopt some of the customs, or give some of their custom to the area they are migrating to."

Well, I did my research on the origins of the nationalities and came to the conclusion that the listing of nations in Genesis 10 was not fiction, but can be backed by the lore of various nations. That is why I stick to it, despite there being a lot of confusion today about who goes where. For instance, many Africans in North Africa, many Europeans and Orientals regard themselves as Arabs- therefore Semitic- on the basis of their being Muslims. Americans are a clear example of people who are from other nationalities, and the real Americans are the Sioux, the Apaches etc. And then you have the Zionists who- as genetic tests reveal- are not Semtic.

How are we the same? Well, it would appear that Hamitic and Semitic people have always shared land on the continent, and areas such as where Iraq etc now exist. This is why we have the same culture, we've been together for years!!!Remember that Ham, Shem and Japhet were brothers, they did not split up to become enemies, not originally anyway. Japhet moved to the cold lands to the north,(Jupiter, iapetos) and then to the south ( in Zimbabwe, we call the Indians majapati- the Japhetites) and to the East, where you have the Chinese (Kittim, Cathay) who then marched towards Roman Europe as the Huns (Hungary). Ham and Shem interbred more than with the other one- it was only when he emerged as a military power that Japhet started going global. So, it is my contention that African people are Hamites and Semites at the same time.

"I think it is a stretch to compare the brotha to a Nazi. That is like comparing apples and oranges." Again, you are entitled to your opinion, but I would sleep with one eye open if I was camping with him. I would advise anyone else who happens not to share his religious beliefs to do the same.

Misgana wendem!
