6-10-1966 Will We Have Peace or Total War by Muhammad Speaks

By E l i j a h M u h a m m a d This is the history of Jesus, as taught me by Allah, r Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom be praised forever. JESUS THE REAL truth of this world and people was kept a secret only to be revealed and made manifest by the All-knowing One (Allah in Person) at the time of the end of this world. (Due to l i m i t e d space and time, please excuse my not point-

ing out to you every chapter and verse of Bible and Holy Qur-an w h e r e It can be found.) Lasi week, I toid you Joseph and Mary were sweethearts and of their promise to marry each other when they became of marriageable age — though not i n every detail, as Allah (God) in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad (to Whom be praised forever) taught me. which is not necessary here. I mentioned that part of the true history of Jesus where the physical side is mistaken for the spiritual

side. Teachers and preachers of Christianity have confused the public, themselves and followers due to the lack of the right understanding of the scripture. But you should be happy that you are living in these days of the manifestation of those hidden truths pertaining to this world that you have always wanted to know. FOR THE past 35 years, I have constantly preached and t a u g h t you what He (Master Fard Muhammad) taught me. Can you prove with truth what I am teach-

ing that He taught me, to be other than the truth? I have taken up Jesus and his teachings because after M a s t e r Fard Muhammad taught me, I saw quickly that t h i s man's (Jesus') history was the world's most misrepresented and misunderstood. What Allah has taught me of the truth is common sense and makes sense. The purpose of Jesus' birth and teachings was to show forth that w h i c h was to come. Allah, in the Person (Continued on page 2)

i Contiii ued from Page 1 ) of Fard M u h a m m a d (to Whom be praised forever) said that we would not have known Jesus if he had not died (or given his life for the truth that he taught); and the prophets before Jesus suffered death for the truth they taught; or, as Allah said, any true Muslim will give his or her life for Islam. I WILL agree with the teachings of the Holy Qur-an that Jesus and his mother was for a sign. I shall prove this in this series on the purpose of Jesus' birth and mission, according to the Bible and Holy Qur-an, on which the two books agree: The fulfillment of the Prophets of Israel, and to serve as a sign for the last Messenger and his p e o p l e (the lost and found, lost members of the black nation here in North America). The Ignorant preach that Jesus was the God Himself, while Jesus represented himself as one sent from God. And Jesus taught the people to believe in the God Who sent him, and said that he came not to do his will, but

the will of He Who sent him. Jesus was born as all human beings: flesh and blood, and he died as all human beings; In the flesh of which he was made. And his body is still dead like all other dead—just as Moses before him, and the Prophets after him. Your prayers to anyone who Is dead cannot be heard, for their hearing went with them in their death. Matt. 1:21, and she shall bring (give birth) forth a son, and Thou shall call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins. IT IS useless to say that the Jews were Jesus' people whom he must save from their sins. I n all his "teachings, Jesus never claimed kinship to the Jews. And most of his parables were made in condemnation of the wicked house (race) of Israel. And finally classified them as being a race of devils because their father was a devil. John 8:44. They claim to be the children of God (the god of righteousness; the same god of Abraham). This claim is still made by the whole of the Caucasian world today: "That we all are people from the same God," only to deceive the righteous. Their

god is not our God, and Jesus reminded them of this In Matt. 8:42 in the 40th verse of the same chapter: That they were the murderers of the righteous who preached the truth. This is fulfilled today by the same race. They know I preach the truth and they seek to kill me and my followers and d e s t r o y our places of worship, or any socalled N e g r o e s and their places of worship if they seek truth and justice. Would God give a son to die to save His enemies? Will God send another son to die for the sins of this same people that they have committed since the death of Jesus, and save them from the fire of hell which has now been kindled? If the world of white mankind is saved by the death of Jesus, and their sins forgiven, what was the cause of their sins s i n c e Jesus denounced them to be devils themselves? I t is repeatedly prophesied in the Bible and Holy Qur-an that God will forgive the sins of the lostfound members of the Black Nation, whom God, Himself, would find and restore at the time and end of the world.

Negro Widow Blasts Husband's Death in Viet Nam, Father Calls U.S. 'Gangsters' NEW YORK — "The Viet Nam war is useless," a black soldier wrote to his 23-yearold wife shortly before he was killed by his own unit's artillery fire during one of the most criticized wars in history. " M Y HUSBAND told me before he died that the war is useless," repeated Mrs. Juanita Butcher, 23, as she sat in the living room of her family home in Jamaica, Queens, her eyes reddened from anger as well as tears. "He hated the whole slimy war." The young widow's eyes shifted to the mantel and a glossy picture of her husband in uniform. She remembered how he had written "everything is so desolate in Korea" during his 13-month tour of duty there in 1963. "It's twice as bad in Viet Nam," he wrote to her last December. "He wrote to me that he had killed a man. He saw some of his friends killed. I couldn't take it anymore," the grief-stricken y o u n g woman continued. " I told MUHAMMAD

ALGIERS — "Experiences have shown that in order to gain freedom and independence, it is necessary to take up arms and fight," said the executive secretariat of the Algerian National Liberation Front in a statement issued here marking "African Liberation Day." "THE historical current of the liberation struggle of the African peoples cannot be stemmed," the statement went oh. "With the support of t h e progressive forces of Asia, Latin America and of the whole world, the concerted action of the African people will hasten the end of the domination of colonialism and the attainment of their national liberation and unity." The statement expressed Algeria's support for the struggle of the people against imperialism and for national liberation.

Joins Against

Colonialism ALGIERS—Syria and Algeria have c a l l e d for a united front of "progressive socialist forces" to oppose the "attacks of colonialism and imperialism" in Africa, Asia and Latin America. THE APPEAL came in a joint communique published here today after the five-day visit of Syria's Vice Premier and Foreign Minister, Ibrahim Makhos. He left recently for Damascus via Moscow. However, Algeria avoided a direct reply to the Syrian minister's proposal for a meeting of "progressive" Arab states to thwart the efforts of Saudi Arabia's King Paisel to create an "Islamic Pact." The communique called only for a gathering of all progressive forces and condemned "the p o l i c y of pacts" in all forms. Diplomatic sources believe Algeria is acting to avoid a formal split between the conservative and socialist Arab countries before the Arab L e a g u e summit meeting here in September.

Visit T o (Special to Muhammad Speaks) N E W Y O R K — World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Muhammad Ali, looked back with M u h a m m a d Speaks upon a fantastic four weeks in Europe and Africa and the overwhelming tide of acclaim which swelled throughout three continents following his spectacular title defense against E n g land's Henry Cooper. THE YOUNG athlete arrived home t r i m , lithe and confident, stating that the historic events of the previous weeks bore testimony to the truth in the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, whose guidance and inspiration were responsible for opening the doors of the world to him — doorways t h r o u g h which he has walked to become the bestknown athlete in history. Together with H e r b e r t Muhammad, son of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and president of Main Bout, Inc., and John Ali, national secretary of Muhammad's Mosques of Islam and treasurer of Main Bout, Inc. — which handles the ancillary rights to the bouts of the champion — Muhammad Ali accepted an invitation to visit Egypt following the Cooper match and, thereby, began a new chapter in his unprecedented career.

"PRESIDENT Nasser told us that on the night of the fight, the streets in Cairo were practically deserted," Muhammad Ali related. "He said that all Egyptians were inside listening to their radios or beside their TV sets, waiting for the outcome of my fight with Cooper. "When it was announced that I had won," Muhammad continued, "Nasser said that great crowds surged out into the streets with cries of joy." The heavyweight champion said that President Nasser's first inquiry during a 45-minute visit in his home was to express c o n c e f n about the health, welfare and programs of the Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad, while also extending warm greetings and salutations to the spiritual leader of America's great black population.

The black male child and adult are truly victims of their environment—an environment not of their making. Because of the vicious, dehumanizing conditions into which America's color-race syndrome has forced black citizens, the Negro male has a shorter, more frustrating life than whites. 77ie black male adult has an average life expectancy of at least eight years shorter than the average life span of adult females, black or white. The infant mortality rate among black babies is four times greater than the death rate among white infants.

In his intolerable condition of second-class citizenship and bone-grinding poverty, the life span of the Negro male is cut short by a number of physical ailments indigenous to that environment—cancer, tuberculosis, heart disease, high blood pressure and others. This does not take into account the devastating impact on the black male of the assassination of his aspirations by white supremacy, making him a victim of chronic frustration and hopelessness—and his life, short as it is, is a dirge of futility.

The following article, another in a continuing series on the general subject of the "Deadly Neglect of the Negro Male," spells out in detail the nightmarish existence in which the Negro is forced to struggle— and how these conditions emasculate him, completely disarm him and eventually take his life.

WASHINGTON — T h e highly-publicized President's Conference on Civil Rights opened with its 2,500 participants, minus a notable corps of independent black leaders who declined the invitation and questioned its usefulness.

ministration's Viet Nam war policies had questionable loyalty. The famous comedian — whose outspoken denunciation of the Viet Nam war p o l i c i e s has encouraged ether Negro leaders to take similar stands — explained his position by quoting from Paul Christian. F r e n c h w r i t e r and author of the "History of Magic on War:" "By means of settlements in Greece and Asia, Egypt promoted civilization," the French writer wrote nearly 100 years ago.

finally, fell to the barbarian hordes, bringing a new world with them in the waves of their irresistible ocean." Gregory called the principle of protest greater to the preservation of the freedom of all Americans because it underlies the principles of civil rights.

TOGETHER with previous statements by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the Student Non - Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the recent action by the board of the Southern Christian Educational Fund (SCEF) has been described as a dramatization of the fact that civilrights is not merely a local or national issue, At their annual Spring meeting here, the SCEF board said: "We believe that the civilrights movement in t h e United States cannot remain indifferent in the human tragedy being inflicted upon a people of color in Southeast Asia.

"We believe there is a close relationship between the use of violence and repression in Viet Nam and the use of violence and repression in our own country, and particularly in the South, to maintain things as they are." THE SCEF board joined SNCC and SCLC and other groups in condemning the war as a way to solve the problem. "As the SCLC says, 'Mass murder can never lead to a constructive and creative government or to the creation of a democratic society in Viet Nam.' We urge the administration to stop the killing now. in order

that a climate for negotiations may be secured." The SCEF leadership also endorsed "the call by SNCC and Georgia Representativeelect Julian Bond to widen the Selective Service law so that young men classified as conscientious objectors may do their alternative service by working for civil rights or peace."

Freedom W A S H I N G T O N — Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, Harlem Congressman and chairman of the powerful House Committee on Education and Labor, called upon black people in America to drop their "self-shame" and seek "audacious power" in t h e i r struggle for freedom and equal justice in the land their forebears had contributed so much to making the mighty power it is today. POWELL'S programmatic projections were given before the 1966 graduating class at Howard University as he delivered the baccalaureate address. "We must . . . cast off the leprosy of self-shame in our black skins . . .," Powell said. The veteran but youthful Congressman, who towers over his legislative compatriots, warned black leaders that there were better crusades than the "sterile chase of integration as an end in itself in the debasing notion that a few white skins sprinkled amongst us" would elevate the genetics of our development. He paid tribute to the historic greatness of the Negro college and called for "a black renaissance at Howard University." "Resurrect black creativit y , " Powell cried out, "not only in literature, history, law, poverty and English, but more so in mathematics, e n g i n e e r i n g , aerodynamics

and nuclear physics." " L I K E Nicodemus, Howard must be born again," Powell continued. " B o r n again in the image of black greatness gone before." Excerpts from P o w e l l ' s projections, delivered before a rapt audience of future black intellectuals, emphasized the following views: "As black students educated at America's finest black institution of higher learning, you are still second-class citizens . . . " A mere 100 years in the spectrum of time separates us from the history of slavery and a lifetime of indignities . . . "WHILE BOTH Howard and I , as chairman of this Committee, will c e l e b r a t e our 100 years together, joy of our success is tempered by the sobering fact that our status as black people has been denied first-class acceptance . . . "To possess a black skin today in America means that if you are in Los Angeles driving your pregnant wife to a hospital, you'll be shot to death by a white policeman . . . "A black skin means that if your family lives in Webster C o u n t y , Mississippi, your average family income will be $846 a year — $16.30 a week for an e n t i r e family . . .

Editorial The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah and one of the great leaders of the world, has put forth the only solution to the problem of black people in America by calling for an independent territory for the 22 million descendants of African slaves, a growing number of leaders here have declared. I N THE midst of the chaotic civil rights struggle, the program advanced by the Messenger of Allah is gaining momentum while all efforts to achieve equality and freedom for Negroes within a sc-called "integrated society" is failing. The Muhammad proposal for separation, rather than being withdrawn or "modified" or "postponed" as some misguided speakers have proposed is b e i n g examined anew following the great Savior's day Convention of Muslims in Chicago. "SEPARATION is absolutely necessary," Mr. Muhammad has pointed out. "We must unite and show the world that we love our own black nation and that we intend to preserve i t . " "We must fight with truth and justice and with our very lives for respect and recognition," the Messenger has declared. THE LACK of police protection for Negroes, North and South, the obvious refusal of the Justice Department to grant to black Americans the same type of protection granted white Americans, the program of the Muslims first projected at McCormick place by Mr. Muhammad is new being carefully studied in colleges, universities and by civic and social agencies throughout America. Is Mr. Muhammad right in calling for separation of the so-called Negro in a separate state or territory of his own if the Negro is not given full and complete freedom, justice and equality?

"But do not say we are the same as you. Then you deny us the rights, human and civil, and the privileges New Y o r k you enjoy as citizens or nationals of America." All will agree that it is better for the white man to treat the so-called Negro with justice as the white man treats himself right now, or let the Negro go right now. IT IS unjustified to ask the Negro to wait forever for his freedom, or to disappear by "integration" into the main body of white America. It is incumbent upon the black man in America, who considers himself truly interested in the salvation and future of his people, to write to Muhammad today. Place any question you desire before him — and examine his proposals. But hurry, for the days of the Old World is limited, and the dawn of a new era is on the horizon.

After four years in the service, Hubbard returned to school, receiving his bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Chicago. He then worked for the Detached Worker Program for eight years, earning international praise for his efforts in curbing delinquency and for his work with slum teen-age groups. Having worked with juvenile gangs these years with such overwhelming success, Hubbard might be considered one of Chicago's best authorities on the subject. Is there a solution to the gang problem? Can the fighting and killing be stopped? Can gangs be wiped out altogether?

Africa

UMTALI, Rhodesia — A conspiracy of white-ruled African territories, designed to solidify the notorious realms of aparthied, has been brazenly foretold by the Prime Minister of renegade Rhodesia, Ian Smith. DURING a civic reception here in his honor, Smith s a i d that through links with the Portuguese a n d South Africa, a m o v e m e n t would soon be instig a t e d in southern AfSmith rica leading to the unification of "those who believed in t h e preservation of (white) standards and the upholding of western Christian democracy." Proposing a toast to the great friendship being developed a m o n g white-Rhodesians, Portuguese and South Africans, Smith said: "After the little upset we are now going through is completed— and there is no doubt that it will be completed in the right way, as far as we Rhodesians are concerned — the bonds of friendship between ourselves and our Portuguese friends, particularly those in Mozambique, will be far stronger than they have ever been before . . .

Centuries Later, West Copies Africa's 'Round Houses' (Special to Muhammad Speaks) A promising young African engineering s t u d e n t studying in Chicago proudly p o i n t e d out the ingenuity and practicality of round, thatch-roofed houses found throughout parts of the African countryside which "people of the Western World erroneously call 'mud huts'." "THE simplicity and practicality of these houses often go unnoticed in the West," said O. I . Namulanda in a l e t t e r to MUHAMMAD SPEAKS, "because of the v a s t l y different kind of structures needed in the intemporate climates of the West. Some people have a way of looking down on the unusual. "The simple truth is that these grass houses have fulfilled the needs of the African people for many centuries and demonstrate several important architectural principles."

vides is immediately apparent. Rectangular buildings always have four corners which waste living space. Round houses eliminate this waste, he pointed out. "The round structures are very roomy and serve excellently as courts, live theaters, c l a s s r o o m s and homes," he continued. " I n many towns and cities of Europe and America, round buildings now are being constructed. "MODERN apartment buildings, such as Chicago's Marina Towers, are actual s u p p o r t of the ingenious thought of the early African designers," he added. He p o i n t e d out that nowhere in the world can the African f e e l as free and proud as he would feel in his own grass house.

Bamba is a member of former President Joseph Kasavubu's Bakongo tribe. Kasavubu was ousted by Mobutu Nov. 25. KIMBA was an associate of former Premier M o i s e Tshombe during the days when Tshombe led the secession of the province of Katanga.

body thrown into the river— it unfolds in moving and gripping sequence to lay bare racial hatreds and resulting violent reprisals. The writer depicts a community which vents its animosity on a Negro youth because he was "uppity" to a white woman, and goes deep into the causes which twist minds into festering sores of bitterness and mayhem. Significant, also, is the fact that he manages to hold the reader's attention despite several s t i c k y , sanguine passages of overdone prose and rhetoric.

Elijah is the name in the bible you see And Elijah is here, so it must be he; He's here on time for me, you see, For this world seems pretty dreadful to me. Elijah is the man that Allah did raise To save his people from bang a slave. Elijah is the man that the people say Is like a modern day Moses in every way. Elijah is the man they put in jail And had running all around this world. Elijah is the man that Allah has sent To save his people from his chastisement.

Elijah is the man that has the key to Heaven— Not while you are dead but while you are living. Elijah is the man they tried to kill But he did not fear because it was not Allah's will. Elijah is the man so tall yet short— That Allah came here to America and taught. In 1930 He came to teach That little Black man of the world deceit And taught him for three and a half long years In Detroit, Michigan, the birthplace of our new Nation And gave him the crown which he now wears He taught him who he was and where he came from; Who his people are so he can build a Nation. Elijah is the man no bigger than 5 feet 10 And has this world shaking from end to end. In Africa and Asia the people say "Allahu Akbar" day after day.

About Y o u There's No Such Thing as 'Something for Nothing' By Harriett Muhammad Dear Harriett: Since you wrote on the woman's role, I would like to know what field of work would it be wise for a woman to choose if she was aware that the black man was going to regain his position in the near future but wanted to study something that would be useful and not subtract from her femininity. I KNOW that soon we are going to have to depend upon ourselves for our needs. But until we can get to the point where our men's pay checks are sufficient, we women are going to have to help by w o r k i n g . I have gained much knowledge in the past and am able to submit and I don't resent our men, but have a real love and desire to help them as well as myself. I know that there is no such thing as "something for nothing" and I want to study something that will pay off in money—now while we are building a nation, and in the future. I have studied art and costume design, but I want to study something more beneficial. I ' l l soon have the means to send myself to school, and will be able to attend classes as long as it is necessary.—P.B. Los Angeles, Calif. DEAR P.B.: There are many fields open to women which will still permit them Tanzanians in Russia LONDON —Following an invitation by the Russian Government, Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere has sent an economic mission to Moscow to negotiate and conclude a financial loan agreement, report Tanzanian officials here. The mission, headed by F i n a n c e Minister Amir Jamil, includes Deputy Secretary to the Treasury Gabriel Mawalla and other top Tanzanian ministers.

to keep their femininity. Being feminine is a quality that would conflict with any field or position that requires a lot of heated competition or a lot of dealing and scheming. I t probably would be better to m e n t i o n the situations that should be avoided so that they could be identified. I f you want to help the man and yourself, don't put yourself in such a position that you have to out-talk, argue with, or con others. When a woman does things like that to and with men. they tend to treat her just like they would another mar — with no more respect or courtesy. Some fields especially l i able to involve these situations are: law, business administration, politics, some salesmanship positions, the entertainment w o r l d , and the armed forces. " I ' M NOT saying that you can't hold such positions and still maintain your femininity. I ' m only saying that such fields are necessarily more competitive and rougher. To mention a few fields conducive to femininity and beneficial for the future: teaching, secretarial sciences, social work, laboratory technology, public relations, journalism, and nursing. We have a nation to build and to do this calls for qualified and trained workers. I ' m pleased that you are taking advantage of your chance for more education. More of our people need to learn and train themselves. This is the only way to make solid progress. Something on your mind? Write and tell me about it. Harriett Muhammad P. O.

Islam

BY TYNNETTA DEANAR The woman who accepts Islam today is among the most honored of the women in the world. She not only accepts a life of aspirant spiritual perfection but also a way of life of the highest quality which yields inspiration, harmony and fortitude to the relationship of the family and of the society. The reasons why many of our women are unable to see Islam in this way is because they have never accepted Islam to realize the results. BUT OBSERVE the Musl i m women who follow the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and notice the change that has transpired. It is not in the spirit of condemnation that I offer this observation but in the spirit of hope that you will like what you see and with the added hope that this observation may affect ycur conversion.

IT IS not in passing that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad reminds us of the times in which we live but it is in the realization of the dark and dreadful days that are approaching. Our ancient history is glorious and magnificent, and it is only since we were captured by our enemies that we have forgotten our g r a n d trek through the past. Do you remember the history of Egypt, perhaps the first country of antiquity that the historical accounts were able to preserve? What do you think or know of the racial origin of the Egyptians?

Minister

Who

Of Mississippi By Minister Clyde Rahaman

(St. Louis, Mo.) The bitter fruits of a Mississippi childhood—deprived of education, forced to work in the fields from sunup to sundown, seeing my black neighbors beaten, castrated and murdered by whites, living on corn bread, fat back, potatoes and meager vegetables — made of me a man hating all I saw and steeped in my desire to change this world. Further, now that my eyes have been opened by the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, I realize that I even hated myself. I F E L T unequal to others, and had neither dignity nor self-respect. But the Messenger of Allah has given me knowledge of myself and taught me the greatness of my people. With this comes dignity, self-respect and confidence. Early in my youth I developed a passion for gambling which led to the destruction of three marriages and a life of frustration and despair. The worst part of it was that I didn't care—about myself, nor anyone else. Looking back, I can see that, instead of living, I was just waiting to die. Islam has changed all this. Now I am alive in the truest sense of the word. I have the respect of others and the

Black children never went beyond the sixth grade during that time. We had a little broken-down school house with two teachers for 500 children. MY HOME was no more than a hovel. We had a wood

stove and I remember one of my main chores was to gather wood for cooking and heating the house. Black children during that time in Mississippi never had money. I would get 10 cents to put in the Sunday School basket, but I usually gave a nickle to the church and kept a nickle for candy. I knew this was wrong, but I also knew, at a very early (Continued on page 26)

Hawaiian Student Praises Muhammad, Whose Teachings Changed His Life By JAMES ALOKAI (Honolulu, Hawaii) For a long time I've wanted to write this letter to make clear that the message of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is taking root as far away as Hawaii. Although I first heard the teachings of the Messenger of Allah while in Los Angeles, I was so taken with the revelations made clear to me during my few visits to the Mosque there, that I came home and began practicing the teachings and telling my friends of this marvelous way of life. When I went to Los Angeles — this had been my third trip — I regret to say I was "Americanized" all the way. I smoked, drank, chased the wrong kinds of women and was generally wasting my life and money.

I had been in the U.S. Army and it is very easy while in the service to fall into bad habits. I say this because I want it to be clear that we are not a people addicted to smoking and drinking. This is the byproduct of having so many Americans visiting our islands. Even now, people living on the distant islands do not engage in the filth which seems to be a part of everyday life on the mainland. I work for a beverage company now and have saved enough money to purchase

She is as free of bad habits as I am, and I ' m sure will make a wonderful wife. I also am attending the University of Hawaii parttime and plan to become a civil engineer. With s u c h knowledge, there is no limit to my possible accomplishments.

Messenger's Warning of Christianity's Doom Now Being Borne Out by History BROOKLINE, M a s s . — Christianity is definitely in the throes of a momentous crisis, something long ago predicted by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, but only now agreed upon by a group of top white intellectuals who spent the weekend here discussing r e l i g i o n and American culture.

Genocide Study Concentrates on Whites, Ignores Steady Non-White Annihilation WASHINGTON — Social scientists working u n d e r million - dollar grants are taking a new approach to a study of motivational factors leading to genocide by reexamining German atrocities against the Jews during the Second World War. TRADITIONALLY, however, genocide has b e e n practiced against the world's non-white peoples, and is still b e i n g practiced by whites against black people of Africa and South Asian people of Viet Nam. Yet this p r e s e n t -day genocide is being i g n o r e d by the researchers. Details of the seven-year, million - d o l l a r proj ect to study genocide were outlined recently by David Astor, editor of The London Observer, at a concluding luncheon session of the 60th anniversary meeting of the American Jewish Commit-

tee held at the State Department. Astor said the study is focusing on the processes by Which one group of people can come to believe that certain social groups are "subhuman" and therefore consider it a "duty" to exterminate them. This phenomenon of "socially or politically approved killings, done by ordinary people," A s t o r continued, reached its height "in the Nazi massacres of European Jewry."

sanctioned by his country or society." Astor said that m a n y s t u d i e s of the traditional side of man as an individual existed. However, he deplored the lack of studies of whole "societies which do big killings." "An Eichmann is only a harmless mechanic or at worst an individual murderer — until society tells him that he may, and indeed o u g h t , to kill," he said. "Then people, even quite ordinary people, seem capable of going to a l m o s t any lengths." No mention was made of the ordinary American soldier sent to slaughter the Vietnamese, or the day-byday undisguised genocide of whites against b l a c k s in South Africa, Rhodesia or Portuguese Angola.

NO MENTION was made of the socially or politically approved killings of black people of Africa nor the systematic extermination of the Vietnamese people. The study is being conducted by an international group of historians, sociologists and psychoanalysts investigating "man's peculiar propensity to kill — and even enjoy killing on a mass baWASHINGTON — T o t a l sis when such crimes are population in t h e United States was estimated by the Census Bureau at 195,384,000 as of April 1—up 9 per cent from the 1960 census and 1.1 per cent from the the group; estimate of a year ago. b.

What the Muslims Want This is the question asked most frequently 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 full and complete freedom. 2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color. 3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society. 4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory 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 minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs. Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in return 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 America, justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own. 5". We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South. We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from 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 an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the socalled Negro throughout the United States. We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty. 7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or territory 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 alter 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses. 8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from A L L taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land. 9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want all black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers. Under such schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide,

free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect. 10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion of Islam taught without hinderance or suppression. These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

What the Muslims Believe

1. W E B E L I E V E in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah. 2. W E B E L I E V E in the Holy Qur an and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. W E B E L I E V E in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it. 4. W E B E L I E V E in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people. 5. W E B E L I E V E in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical resurrection—but in mental resurrection. We believe that the socalled Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they will be resurrected first. Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been wrftten, that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons fitting this description in these last days more than the so-called Negroes in America. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous. 6. W E B E L I E V E in the judgement; we believe this first judgement will take place as God revealed, in America . . . 7. W E B E L I E V E this is the time-in history for the separation of the so-called Negroes and the so-called white Americans. We believe the black man should be freed in name as well as in fact. By this we mean that he should be freed from the names imposed upon him by his former slave masters. Names which identified him as being the slave master's slave. We believe that if we are free indeed, 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 in justice for all, whether in God or not; we believe as others, that we are due equal justice as human beings. We believe in equality—as a nation—of equals. We do not believe that we are equal with our slave masters in the status of "freed slaves." We recognize and respect American citizens as independent peoples and we respect their laws which govern this nation. 9. W E B E L I E V E that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their "friends." Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation. If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the so-called Ne-

Honorable Elijah Muhammad

gro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves. We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 black people as well. 10. W E B E L I E V E that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for. 11. W E B E L I E V E our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected. 12. W E B E L I E V E that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. F a r d Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims. We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
