IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD, to Whom Praises are Due Forever: This week, we see coming to pass more of the terrible power and force of nature as Messenger Muhammad has been warning us of. The news media gives reports of millions upon millions of dollars worth of damage to land and people, because of the rain, hail, wind, storms and tornadoes.

The land is being battered and so are the hopes and plans of the people who put their confidence in this world of the wicked that we have known.

Now in his new article, Messenger Muhammad teaches us of the terrible, awesome Ezekiel's Wheel, another Weapon of Allah.

We continue to see the reports of worsening scandal in the government and the fall of the prestige of the heads of this government, and the fall of the pride and the confidence of the people in the heads and the structure of the government.

While the True Guide from Allah, Messenger Muhammad, is telling us the terrifying truth of what is and what will come upon this wicked world, would be Black leaders—false Black prophets to our people—are trying to steal the minds of the people by claiming for themselves parts of and the very title itself of "How To Eat To Live."

IN THE BATTLE IN THE SKY, it is scientifically clear that THE WHEEL, THE MOTHER PLANE, will be the victor due to the fact that nature has given anyone the advantage over the other, if the other is not able to produce the type of weapon that is needed to overcome the attack of that one (the enemy).

WHEN the Prophet Ezekiel (Bible) saw this BATTLE IN THE SKY and saw The Wheel, The

Battle They steal parts of the ideas of the economic plan of Messenger Muhammad and then are so bold as to claim that no one has had this idea before them.

They are like the devil who reared our Black people.

These Black so-called leaders mix the true dietary laws from Messenger Muhammad, given to Messenger Muhammad from Allah; they mix Allah's Truth with their falsehood.

This poison teaching is like the poison that the devil has poisoned us with all of our lives by mixing and feeding to us truth mixed with falsehood.

What will be the reward of these proud, haughty, false Black prophets?

Their false teachings fall immediately, but they have more falsehood with which to poison our people. And what about the harm that their momentary falsehood does to those who follow them even for a moment in their madeup and mixed-up teaching?

Mother Plane, that would be the victor, it has encouraged us, the Black Nation, to have confidence in the victory of that Wheel (Mother Plane).

WHEN the Prophet Ezekiel saw the vision of this Wheel (Mother Plane) Ezekiel became a little excited in his words, Ezekiel said, "Oh, Wheel. Oh, Wheel. Oh, Wheel." The Saviour Affirmed it.

THE WHEEL, the Mother ship, is one of the greatest wonders of

in the Black Brothers and Black sisters—this is no time for us to let false prophets, Black or white, divert our attention from the terrible oncoming times and the predicted Battle in the Sky. The Black so-called leaders are haughty and proud. They seek self-glory from self-plans, while Allah is present to make a glorious Black Nation of us all if we follow Allah's Divine Guidance given to us through His Messenger Muhammad.

Read what Allah's Holy Qur-an, Chap.

7:40-47, has to say regarding THOSE WHO ACCEPT the Message of Allah and those who reject the Message of Allah given to us through His Messenger Muhammad. All Praises are Due to Allah, for His Divine Messenger Muhammad, and His DIVINE Message.

The Black Scientists knew at the time that they built the Mother Ship, that the Mother Ship and its well-trained crew would have to fight with her and the other Nations of the earth.

THE well-trained crew of the Mother Ship, The Wheel, can dodge the enemy and make the enemy to look for The Wheel, where the Wheel is not.

ACTUALLY, The Wheel, The Mother Ship, serves as a carrier for 1,500 deadly prepared planes with which to visit mankind on the Planet Earth.

DO NOT look for The Wheel, The Mother Plane, because it is not out there for you to find it where you are looking for it.

I AM so happy that Allah (God) Has Prepared this unmatchable weapon to save us, the Black People! It carries supplies for the crew of this made Wheel-like Plane...it is something to marvel at!

think that the Black Man will allow the made man (the white race) that has been on the Planet Earth for only 6,000 years, to out-wit the Black Nation in any war whether it be physical or mental?

I F I was the white man I would just give up and not try to fight an old ancient people who were here before the white man's father (Yakub) THOUGHT of making the white race.

J This new work of Edwards' is: an in depth study of sport as an: institution, its dominant, ideologies, and its. i n t e r r e l a t i o n s h i p s with American culture and society in general. It is a good book, but it is not for the casual reader.

In the fashion of all scholarly research, the text is basically technical, and many passages make for laborous reading. But this is of necessity. It is meant as the touchstone to a new field, and is recommended mainly for the scholarly or those genuinely, interested in sport as an American institution.

The following is Edwards' exclusive conversation with Muhammad Speaks about his new work.

MS: As stated in your book,

interview Blacks have really had any models by which to pattern their behaviour and their aspirations. The only other area is entertainment.

And of course they take personalities from both sports and entertainment, the two areas which have least to do really, with any substantive outcomes or goals or interests of any people, and they make these individuals our leaders.

So you turn around and some top entertainer is invited to the White House. But the very people who would be most involved with that are never invited.

As an example, it took Nixon six hours to get Vida Blue from Oakland to the White House after the "A's" won the championship last year. And that's 3,000 miles away.

But just two blocks away there's the 13 member Black Caucus. It took them two years to get into the White House for

with 45 minutes, as opposed to Vida Blue spending two hours there.

Well the political significance of that is that sports and entertainment have been opened up for Blacks, because those are the areas which have least to do with the substantive issues which are essentially' threatening the survival and the prospering of Black people.

What this means in terms of Black society is that Black people as a culture have oriented their children to achieve in those two areas.

And so you find while the white boy is off dealing with his chemistry set, and thinking about becoming a doctor or an engineer, or becoming an airline pilot, you find Blacks out dribbling basketballs, kicking footballs and throwing baseballs. . .One thing this tremendous emphasis on Sports in Black society has done to Black people is to deter some of our

masses.

MS: I n the book you came to the conclusion that Black superiority in sport is a result of white racism in the general society. This is the connection between whites encouraging us into sports, for prestige, money, etc.

EDWARDS: That's right. If you have a situation where there are unlimited opportunities for whites, where a white boy can be an astronaut, or he can be a zoologist, where he can be a botanist, where he can gooff into x-ray technology, and the only area really open to Blacks is sports, and entertainment to some degree, then you have essentially 30 million Blacks in this country, who as a result of role models, the potential to succeed, are gearing their entire efforts toward becoming 20th century gladiators.

MS: A f t e r y o u r e v e a l this scheme of whites encouraging Blacks into sports, which makes f o r Black athletic superiority, y o ug o on t o say that this same Black s u p e r i o r i t y sort of assures t h a t certain authoritative positions in sports — coach, quarterback, and manager — are almost t h e exclusive monopoly of whites. Explain this.

EDWARDS: You see, sports, being a reflection of values that predominate in American society, means that in sport, just as in American society as a whole, whites must be in a

superior position. This is why you do not find Black quarterbacks in 'big time' sports. This is why Black sports is de facto defined as 'small time'.

And the only place you find Blacks participating in sports is where white society cannot maintain its sports integrity at the international level without Blacks.

For instance in the sprints, which require natural ability — which means I don't care what yon do to a white boy, if he is not fast, yon can't make him fast. You can't give him dope to make him fast.

On teams yon find Blacks segregated in specific kinds of positions. Football, yon find Blacks segregated in positions which are really periphery to the action. Quarterback, center, middle-linebacker — yon don't find that many Blacks.

Matter of fact, quarterback and center, yon find virtually none at all. Because those are the positions which are most likely to be termed leadership and control positions.

And it's in the interest of white society to keep white boys there, even under circumstances where his interest would be better served by winning regardless of who is in the leadership or control position, so long as he can define them nominally as "Americans."

MS: Like in the Olympic Games?

EDWARDS: Like in the Olympic Games. Where those positions requiring natural ability are manned by Blacks.

The long-jump, the sprint, the hurdles, the so-called triplejump; those are basically manned by Blacks. Because if a person isn't fast yon can't make him a sprinter.

In those events where tbey can feed them dope, such as in the shot-put and the discus, yon find white boys. In such events as the pole-vault, yon find white boys. It's an acknowledged fact that the greatest thing in the extension of the records and the distances as far as polevaulting is concerned, has been the fiberglass pole — technology.

B y L a r r y 5X M.S. San Francisco Correspondant SAN FRANCISCO-Buckling under stresses f r o m the nation wide energy crisis, a prestigious group of specialists representing environmental organizations, and the fuel and auto industries, submitted stiff recommendations f o r fuel conservation at the California state capital recently. T h e ' proposals included rationing, an auto weight t a x , a l o w e r statewide speed limit, reopening dreaded offshore drilling, and expansion o f nuclear power plants.

THE MEASURES represented more of a cross section input by t h e experts than unanimous accord o n alternatives and methods of curbing the energy.

Environmentalists, for example, discouraged nuclear power suggestions because o f safety concerns and waste disposal problems, a n d also revived the aggravating specter o f o i l slicks w h i c h caused such a f u r o r i n recent years as aresult o f offshore drilling.

"We're all breeders of God's Law," he said. "I know that I've already pleaded guilty and said, 'Lord I'm at your mercy.'"

P r o g r a m

What the Muslims Want THE HONORABLE ELIJAH M'JHAMMAO MESSENGER OF ALLAH 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 cr grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish

a separate

state

or territory

of their

own—either on this continent nr 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

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 v.Ma 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 so -called 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.

We do not believe that after 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 out people from ALL 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 e 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

equality, after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood

7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or

and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human

territory of our own, we demand not only equal justice under

beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to

the laws of the United States, but equal employment

this land and the suffering forced upon us by white America,

opportunities—NOW!

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 t h e M u s l i m s B e l i e v e 1. WE BELIEVE in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah.

2.

WE

BELIEVE

in the

Holy

Qur-an

and in the

Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3.

WE BELIEVE 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 beer added to it.

4. WE BELIEVE in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people 5. WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical

resurrection—but

in mental

resurrection. We

believe that the so -called 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 written, that God would choose the

separation of the so -called Negroes and the so -called white

for the separation from the whites of this nation.

"We, the Muslims, want to create a new Earth, a new Us, and build us a new World unalike Mr. Yakubs devil.

We are telling the world that we want this and we want that and we are asking you to help us to get this and to get that.

We want an airport and we want airplanes to go in and out of it.

You are sitting and waiting for us to do it but not helping us to do it.

Do not look and wait for us to do something.

You help us to do it.

I hear too much of that kind of talk: 'Wait and let the Muslims do it.' Help the Muslims to do it as you are a Muslim yourself whether you believe in yourself or not."
