Loon and Gates: Embrace Islam and Go to Jail

Islam has been unanimously dubbed to be the world’s largest religion by 2050. Most Muslims believe Islam is already the world’s largest religion owing to the rapid decline of other religions, high rate of conversions from other religions to Islam and the high fertility rate among Muslims.

Unlike other religions which get new members majorly from people of the low and middle classes, many reverts to Islam acquired fame and wealth before coming into the fold. Reverts to Islam have also been found to have been very knowledgeable in whatever religion they practiced (e.g. Yusuf Estes and Amina Assilmi) while a lot of those who had no religion have been high profile intellectuals (e.g. Arnoud Van Doorn and Keith Ellison).

Islam has also seen a lot of people who led rough lives coming into the fold especially from the entertainment industry notable mentions being Mutah Wassin Shabbaz Beale (Napoleon from Tupac’s ‘Outlawz’) and Muslim Belal (Ashley Chin of ‘South Man Syndicate’).

These individuals embrace Islam in search of the one thing no amount of money can buy; inner peace and they always find it.

Entertainers in the west enjoy a lot of government support for two major reasons:

• They contribute to the economy of the west through the sale of their works to other regions and
• They assist the agenda of the west which are primarily:

1. Psychological enslavement of other people and
2. Establishment of atheism

It must have been observed that western governments often take against secular entertainers or westerners of high status who decide to embrace Islam and do the dirty on them, they (western governments) almost see it as treason. This is born out of the fact that notable personalities embracing Islam boosts the image of the religion in the eyes of their fans who might decide to take in their steps (one famous westerner embracing Islam could lead to hundreds of others doing the same). It also makes the world question the various narratives on Islam by Islamophobes which will ultimately expose the various western conspiracies against Islam.

A number of westerners have gotten into one form of trouble or the other the moment they declared their Islamic faith, the latest has been ex-gangster rapper, Kevin Gates.

Dreka Haynes and Kevin Gates in 2016

Kevin Gates (born as Kevin Jerome Gilyard) and his wife, Dreka Haynes, embraced Islam in 2016 and went for Hajj together in September the same year. A month later, Gates was arrested for a crime he is said to have committed the previous year. Gate is said to have kicked a ‘female fan’ on the chest during a show in Florida in late August 2015. 31 year old Gates said the woman was pulling on his shorts and he had to free himself. On 26 October 2016, Gates was sentence to 6 months in prison for the alleged crime. 

He was due for release on Friday 25 March 2017 but his released was halted on the grounds that he had an outstanding charge of weapons-related felony in Illinois consequently, the judge ordered for him to be held without bail. 

Brother Kevin Gates is currently serving a 30 month jail sentence at East Moline correctional facility Illinois, his estimated date of release is 22 June 2018 (if a new charge is not cooked up again). Gates and 31 year old Dreka have two children together, Islah Koren Gates (5 years old) and Khaza Kamil Gates (3 years old).

A similar scenario played out on 22 November 2011 when superstar revert Amir Junaid Muhaddith (formerly Loon of Bad Boys Records and Boss Up Entertainment) was arrested in Brussels while on an Islamic lecture tour based on allegations of crimes committed as far back as 2006. In May 2012, he was extradited to America and in July 2013, he was handed a 14 year prison sentence for conspiracy with intent to traffic heroin. The full details of his trial never got to the ears of the public.

Loon embraced Islam in December 2008 after visiting Abu Dhabi. Born Chauncey Lamont Hawkins, the 42 year old changed his name to Amir Junaid Muhaddith and performed Umrah. After embracing Islam, brother Junaid ended his music career and moved to Egypt where he lived and studied Islam till he was arrested in 2011.

The American government froze his accounts and assets hence; his family now relies on community assistance. Under the current situations, he will only be due for release in 2027.

Andrew Tate: Embrace Islam and Go to Jail

So it has become the zeitgeist, anyone thinking of embracing Islam has to pray real hard and recount every step he/she has taken in life because as a westerner, you are an entertainer and your crimes are just one of those things, but as a Muslim, the government’s ‘crime umbrella’ really does not cover you; you are bad business.

May ALLAH hasten the release of every Muslim who has been imprisoned for his/her faith in the Deen of ALLAH, Ameen.
