Thee Jerusalem Gangster - The Life Story of Emad U. Deen

from Colonial Outcasts · host Colonial Outcasts

Prior to October 7th, the only bulwark against Israel’s complete strangle of the narrative in America’s culture was the Black liberation movement and the stories of American Palestinians. The story behind every Palestinian who immigrated to the US is often a story of tragedy and resourcefulness. What makes Emad’s life story so unique and powerful is that it connects the struggles of American street life with the struggles of Palestinian oppression by the Zionist state through ironic parallels. Emad was born in Jerusalem a year before the ‘67 War to a strong mother of faith, a father who was a resistance fighter abused and tortured by Israel and in turn became abusive to his family. After immigrating to the United States, Emad gets involved in the notorious gang life of Chicago, is incarcerated into a brutal prison system and finds Islam. Emad U Deen is harnessing the wisdom he has accumulated from his tumultuous but fascinating life as a Palestinian immigrant and Chicago Saint to fight for his people facing extermination and ethnic cleansing and helping young kids find purpose in a world deprived of integrity and infested with top-down hypocrisy. We discuss the cycle of abuse, how the legacy of trauma is imposed on the innocent from the abused, making the abused the abuser and the importance of breaking that cycle. We also dive into the glory of Islam’s legacy throughout the world and the coming revolution which appears to be on the horizon in Muslim nations who are under regimes corrupted by Western empire.
