The recent overthrow of the Nigerian leaders who had inherited power from Britian came upon the heels of other military coups in smaller African countries.

F E B R U A R Y 25, 1966

of Allah Presents

M u s l i m

What the Muslims Want This is the question asked most frequentl y by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible.

1. We want freedom. We want a f u l l and complete freedom.

2. We want justice. E q u a l justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to a l l , regardless of creed or class or color.

3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership l i j society w i t h the best In civilized society.

4. We want our people In A m e r i c a whose parents or grandparents were descendants f r o m slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or t e r r i t o r y of their own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and m l n e r a l l y r i c h . We believe that our f o r m e r slave masters are obligated to m a i n tain and supply our needs In this separate terr i t o r y for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs.

Since we cannot get along w i t h them i n peace and equality, after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in r e t u r n some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our ' contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white A m e r i c a , justifies our demand for complete separation i n a state or t e r r i t o r y of our own.

5. We w a n t freedom f o r a l l Believers of I s l a m now held i n federal prisons. We w a n t freedom for a l l black men and women now under death sentence i n innumerable prisons i n the N o r t h as well as the South.

We want every black m a n and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated f r o m the slave master's children and establish a land of their own.

We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.

6. We want a n immediate end to the police b r u t a l i t y and mob attacks against the socalled Negro throughout the United States.

We believe that the Federal government should int.ercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice i n accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation f o r ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and l i b e r t y .

7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or t e r r i t o r y of our own. we demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States, but equal employment opportunities—NOW! We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become r i c h and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, c h a r i t y or live i n poor houses. • 8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people f r o m A L L taxation as long as we are deprived of equal j u s tice under the laws of the land.

9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 f o r boys and 18 f o r girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want a l l black children educated, taught and t r a i n e d by their own teachers.

Under such schooling system we believe we w i l l make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide.

P r o g r a m

free, a l l necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The M u s l i m teachers shall be left free to teach and t r a i n their people i n the w a y of righteousness, decency and self respect.

10. We believe that i n t e r m a r r i a g e or race m i x i n g should be prohibited. We want the religion of I s l a m taught without hinderance or suppression.

These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people i n N o r t h A m e r i ca.

What the Muslims Believe

| |

1. W E B E L I E V E i n the One God Whose proper Name is A l l a h .

2. W E B E L I E V E i n the Holy Qur an and In the Scriptures of a l l the Prophets of God. 3. W E B E L I E V E In the t r u t h of the Bible, but we believe that It has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that m a n k i n d will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to I t .

4. WE B E L I E V E i n Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people.

5. W E B E L I E V E i n the resurrection of the dead—not in physical resurrection—but i n mental resurrection. We believe that the socalled Negroes are most i n need of mental resurrection; therefore, they w i l l be resurrected first.

F u r t h e r m o r e , we believe we are the people of God's choice, as i t has been w r i t t e n , that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons f i t ting this description i n these last days more than the so-called Negroes i n A m e r i c a . We believe in the resurrection of the righteous.

6. W E B E L I E V E i n the judgement; we believe this first judgement w i l l take place as God revealed, i n A m e r i c a . . .

7. W E B E L I E V E thi,= is the time i n history for the separation of the so-called Negroes and the so-called white Americans. We believe the black m a n should be freed in name as well as i n fact. B y this we mean that he should be freed f r o m the names imposed upon h i m by his former slave masters. Names which identified h i m as being the slave master's slave. We believe that i f we are free i n deed, we should go in our own people's names —the black peoples of the earth.

8. W E B E L I E V E i n justice for a l l , whether i n God or not; we believe as others, that we are due equal justice as human beings. We believe i n equality—as a nation—of equals.

We do not believe that we are equal w i t h our slave masters in the status of " f r e e d slaves."

We recognize and respect A m e r i c a n c i t i zens as independent peoples and we respect their laws which govern this nation.

3 . W E B E L I E V e . m a t me offer of integration is hypocriticai and is made by those who are t r y i n g to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, a l l of a sudden, their " f r i e n d s . " F u r t h e r m o r e , we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people f r o m realizing that the t i m e in history has a r r i v e d for the separation f r o m the whites of this nation.

I f the white people are t r u t h f u l about their professed friendship toward the so-called Ne-

Honorable Elijah Muhammad

gro, they can prove i t by dividing up A m e r i c a w i t h their slaves.

We do not believe that A m e r i c a w i l l ever be able to furnish enough jobs f o r her own millions of unemployed, i n addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 black people as w e l l .

10. W E B E L I E V E that we who declared ourselves to be righteous M u s l i m s , should not participate i n wars which take the lives of h u mans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take p a r t i n such wars, f o r we have nothing to gain f r o m i t unless A m e r i c a agrees to give us t h e necessary t e r r i t o r y wherein we m a y have something to fight for.

11. W E B E L I E V E our women should be respected and protected as the w o m e n of other nationalities are respected and protected.

12. W E B E L I E V E that Allah (God) ap peared in the Person of Master W. F a r d Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited " M e s s i a h " of the Christians and the " M a h d i " of the Muslims.

We believe further and lasUy that Allah is God and besides H I M there is u u God <».id He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
