Moorish Paradigm: Book 11

“The Journal of the Moorish Paradigm, Book 11” by Hakim Bey continues his synthesis of Moorish history, biblical revisionism, and spiritual science, focusing on what he calls “The Bible Deception”. The book argues that the traditional story of the Children of Israel was rewritten during the Babylonian captivity by the scribe Ezra, whom Bey identifies as the true compiler of the Torah and founder of modern rabbinical Judaism. Through comparative analysis of Genesis’ two creation stories, he claims they reveal evidence of redaction, symbolic grafting, and hybridization of ancient Afro-Asiatic traditions. The text also discusses Moorish artifacts in Illinois, ancient American place names linked to Africa, and concludes with the 1787 Moroccan-American Treaty of Peace and Friendship, presenting it as proof of Moorish sovereignty and enduring nationhood.
