Hizhul Islam and Al Shabaab groups control a large amount of the region and enforce  a strict interpretation of Islam which bans sports, music and dancing.  This is the first time that the World Cup has been held in South Africa, and some Somali residents have continued to watch the event regardless, using makeshift satellites and tuning into local FM stations.

After receiving an anonymous tip, authorities discovered the body under a chicken pen with large amounts of soil in the stomach and lungs indicating the girl had been buried alive.

They girl complained to authorities two months before about being beaten by her grandfather for talking to boys.

The girl had no bruises and no harmful substances in her body and was fully conscious during the live burial.

Her family had previously reported her missing.

Police have arrested her mother, father and grandfather.

Police estimate that at least 200 "honor" killings occur in Turkey every year, accounting for almost half of the murders in the country.

For Mutah Beale, formerly known as Napolean from Tupac's rap group the Outlwaz, his experience within the music industry has shown him with high points, successful album sales, and low points, participating in shoot outs and club fights.

Still standing and able to speak on everything, the former rapper looks to present the documentary Napolean: Life Of An Outlaw chronicling his life from the start line to now.

His story will also be told by others such as Tupac's brother, Mopreme Shakur, record producer Mikal Kamil, his brother Mooney, Freeway and Amir “Loon” Muhadith who give their own personal accounts of Beale.

Also featured on the documentary is actor/comedian Mike Epps, who was the producer for the upcoming project.

“I was three years old when my mother and father got murdered.  After the murder of my parents, me and my brothers, we was in the house with the dead bodies for 24 hours and I remember as a kid biting my mother, trying to wake her up.”

Rapping street stories of things that he witnessed around his environment, a chance meeting with Pac landed him with the rapper.

Riding alongside 2Pac, Beale was able to embrace the finer things in life, but all things that go up must come down as the murder of the rapper completely changed the life of the Outlaw.

Stepping outside of the rap game, a discussion with Kamil led to his conversion to Islam and 2002 and he now serves as a motivational speaker.

Now casting the music business to the side in order to embrace his religion, the former rapper has diffused any speculation of him ever picking up a microphone to throw any type of lyrical bars.

Muuhadith was recently spotted on Georgia State University's campus as he was handing out copies of the Qur'an with his non-profit organization in order to kick knowledge to those that were curious about the religion.

While at GSU, he was able to speak on his perception of the Hip Hop game now and the shift of the industry that has been present since before he left.

“To be honest, I haven't listened to Hip Hop music in like 10 months now, but just knowing that certain times that I've been able to bump into brothers like my man P. Diddy and my other ex-peers in the business, it seems like the state of Hip Hop is in the same state it was when I left.”

After being submerged in the business, he adds that not too much positivity comes from dealing with the music and the shady ventures reap no benefits in life at the end of the day.

“It's a dirty business, it's a grimey business.  I think it extracts the soul out of people and it's really just something that doesn't contribute to any type of reward when it comes down to doing things that are pleasing to the one that created the Heavens and the Earth.”

Feeling as though the music industry is generally based off a person priding his/herself on materialistic things, his conversion allowed him to embrace the innocence that he once had when he was younger.  Embracing the Islamic faith allowed him to have a clear understanding and brought him back to a place where everything in the world made sense.

The music business has been notorious for embracing particular negatives under the belief that there will be a reward at the end of the trail.  As Amir Junaid Muuhadith sees things, however, the business has only prevented cloak artists from realizing what is the true reward in life.

The mayor of Arlington, Tennessee rebuked the President of the United States for having the audacity to interrupt what was to be one of numerous showings of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” on national network, ABC, to inform the world of his plans in regard to the War in Afghanistan.

Taking to the publicly private world of Facebook, Wiseman unleashed a moronic tirade of unearthly proportions in which he ignorantly dubbed President Obama, a noted Christian, as “our Muslim president.”

Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch ‘The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim [sic] president is there, what a load…..try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation [sic] about it….w…hen the answer should simply be ‘yes'

You have to be some kind of special, hatred infused, remedial peon to even mentally fathom gallimaufry of that magnitude.

Only in America. . .

Was this online outburst racially motivated???

What do you think Hip-Hop Heads?

“I'm a Muslim and I believe 100% Islam and there's a lot of things that got to happen before the Day of Judgment comes.  I don't see it [all] happening in two years.”

When 1999 was coming to a close, many citizens were spooked about the following year which was penned as the Y2K problem.

Many were under the belief that when the clock brought in the new day, there would be utter chaos as computer technology would malfunction and cause databases to crash which would essentially leave many people without necessary documentation/identity.

A greater scare was the fact that some were under the belief that the world would shut down and revert back to its primitive stages and everyone would have to start again from scratch.

The ball dropped to bring in 2000, and not one thing, out of the ordinary, went wrong.

As 2009 comes to a close, another prophecy comes about as the Mayan calendar marks December 21, 2012 as the Day of Judgment.  This day would basically mark the end, as the Earth would be destroyed or cleansed of those that do wrong and those that have a  belief in God will reside with him above in His Kingdom.

Whether there is validity to the prediction or not, many faces are starting to feel likes its 1999 as they ponder the question, “What if this is the end?”

Freeway and Jakk Frost, both Muslim, recently showed up to speak with DJ Kay Slay where the same question was presented to Freeway to gain his perspective.

“Prophet Isa (Jesus) has to come back and he's gonna come back and establish Islam and all that and I can't see that happening that quick.  Then after that, there's some things that happen after that too before the Day of Judgment.”

Freezer also reflected on where he was back in 99 at the time when everyone was afraid of an electronic global shutdown.

“99-2000 I was in jail like, “Aw, sh*it, I'ma be locked in this mother*cka, all the electricity gonna cut off.”

Artists such as Mase and Kanye West haven't shied away from being more vocal as it pertains to religion whether it be through church or within the music.

“A lot of people are starting to get religious, but that's good.  That's the direction people need to go to because religion is important.”

Free was also able to address the situation regarding Busta Rhymes and the Arabic prayer for his single “Arab Money."

“It's certain things you can and can't do.  Busta probably didn't even know, but like that's one thing you can't do.  You can't have no Islamic prayer inside of a song because people are going to be playing the songs in the clubs and everything where the prayer shouldn't be recited.  It's like a fine line that you have to walk and it's hard to do.  Some people can't do it.  I have a problem doing it myself.”

With 2010 barely two months away, time is essentially slipping away if the calendar has any truth to it.  What would you do if you only had two more years to live?

The 20-year-old student was walking in a parking lot with close friend, 43-year-old Amal Edan, when her father ran both of them over with is Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The reason for this travesty? Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, believed that his daughter had become “too ‘Westernized,” also noting that she was not living according to “traditional Iraqi values.”

About one year ago Noor was scheduled to be married against her will in an arranged ceremony. She objected to the ritual, and left home, moving in boyfriend and his mother.

This attack undoubtedly adds more stains to the image of Islam, and those whom practice its teaching, with each “honor killing” attack giving mainstream media outlets more opportunities to slander a beautiful religion.

“It's reprehensible,” said Ibrahim Ramey of  the Muslim American Society. “It's wrong.”

The young Almaleki suffered horrendous injuries during the attack and is currently listed in “life-threatening” condition. Hassan Almaleki was last seen at the crime scene and has yet to be apprehended.

He was last seen in a grey or silver Jeep Cherokee (2000) with Arizona license plate ADS-9192.
