Thanks for your help. I was looking for a simple answer, but I guess there is none. I dont think Salassie knows either.

Can anyone tell me why Haile Selassie is the king of the rastafari? I am pretty ignorant to the religion.

Selassie actually had nothing to do with the Rasta movement, Rastafarians (in Jamaica) just claimed he was God.
read this book if you're interested.. excellent background on Rasta:

So much trouble in the world
--Bless my eyes this morning
Jah sun is on the rise once again
The way Earthly things are going Anything can happenYou see men sailing on their ego trips
Blast off on their space ship
A Million miles from reality
No care for you, no care for meAll you got to do is give a little
Give a little, give a little
One more time YE-A-H!So you think you have found the solution
But it's just another illusion
So before you check out your tide
Don't leave another cornerstone
Standing there behind
We've got to face the day
Ooh-we come what may
We the street people talking
We the people strugglingNow they are sitting on a time bomb
Now I know the time has come
What goes on up is coming on down
Goes around and comes around.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. selah
5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
rasta is the future. living of the land and not from it. babylon is burning and we are all here to bear witness.
we are living revelation. revelation's words are coming to pass. jah show us the light so we can pass thru this time of darkness.
rastafari.
