Taharka Bey BLASTS Tariq Nasheed

In this episode of Interviews with The Forum Magazine, we sit down with Taharka Bey (Grand Sheik / “GS”), visiting Detroit from Baltimore, for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, nation-building, and what it truly means to uplift a people. Taharka Bey explains his connection to Detroit and why the city feels familiar—gritty, real, and built on authenticity. From there, the conversation moves into his personal journey into Moorish Science, first encountering the teachings in the early 1990s during a pivotal period of his life. He describes how an “old head” shifted his mindset from reckless reaction to observation, discipline, and purpose—turning a street mentality into a mission rooted in knowledge and development. A major theme throughout the interview is the difference between talking about empowerment and actually building it. Taharka Bey challenges the community to stop arguing over labels, stop “religious gangbanging,” and focus on tangible results—schools, land, businesses, and institutions that create real independence. He breaks down the concept of nationality and national identity, using examples like China, Nigeria, and other nations to illustrate how unified identity supports unified agendas, while confusion in identity keeps people scattered. The discussion also touches on misinformation, online accusations, and ideological attacks—where Taharka Bey emphasizes responding with information instead of emotion, and standing on facts in intellectual conversation. He critiques superficial interpretations of spirituality that focus on symbols, rituals, or “boxes,” arguing that the real work is daily discipline and community development. Ultimately, the interview is a call to action: stop waiting on a savior, stop living in debate-only mode, and start building the future with structure, unity, and real-world institutions—brick by brick. ⸻ ✨ Subscribe To The Channel & Hit The HYPE BUTTON ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_forum_magazine?igsh=OGl5ZHVjZG9kM3J4&utm_source=qr TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theforummagazine?_t=ZP-90F3WhaaQpS&_r=1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/17Tgqa3HBN/?mibextid=wwXIfr ⸻ 🎥 Filmed At: Dalion Nation Studios 📍 If you’re in the Metro Detroit area, book your session today at our home studio! https://www.instagram.com/dalionnationstudios?igsh=MThzY3Q5MWlyYXRqZA== ⸻ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER The views and opinions expressed by guests on The Forum Magazine are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views of our platform, brand, or production team.
