Messenger o f A l l a h The 25th o f December i s t h e b i r t h d a y o f N i m r o d , the evil demon o f t h e white race, w h o was born i n t h e l a s t 300 y e a r s o f t h e c i v i l i z a t i o n o f M o s e s ( 1 7 t h Century B.C.). F R O M M O S E S T O JESUS, there were m a n y m i nor prophets a n d there w e r e m a n y wicked rulers. Jesus came, w a r n i n g t h e w h i t e race that i f they did not accept t h e t r u t h o f t h e i r c o m i n g d o o m , i t w o u l d come t o t h e m i n a day that they w o u l d not be aware of. The deceitful theologians and w r i t e r s of Christianity along w i t h t h e i r chief, the Pope o f R o m e , k n o w t h e t r u t h ; b u t y e t h a v e deceived t h e people as t o t h e knowledge o f the t r u t h b y deceiving t h e m t o worship a n evil demon like N h n r o d . T h e y have the history of N i m r o d w i t h t h e m , and they use h i m under the name of Jesus t o deceive t h e people t o m a k e t h e m believe t h a t the 25th o f December w a s Jesus' birthday. A n d ,

in this way, they would have t h e world worshipping this wicked evil demon, N i m r o d , f o r t h e a l l b u t perfect prophet, Jesus. But Jesus was not born i n December. God i n t h e Person o f Master F a r d M u h a m m a d , t o W h o m Praises a r e due forever, has taught m e that his b i r t h d a y t o o k place between t h e first a n d second weeks o f September, a n d that n o o n e k n o w s exactly w h a t day h e w a s born f o r i t w a s a secret, kept between Joseph a n d M a r y t o save t h e m both f r o m being, m u r dered b y getting a baby out o f wedlock. T h e r e a l t r u t h t h a t t h e C h r i s t i a n s h a t e t o confess is t h a t J o s e p h h a d g o t t e n t h e c h i l d , J e s u s , b y M a r y while he was married t o another w o m a n and at that t i m e h a d s i x children b y t h e first m a r r i a g e , so Master F a r d M u h a m m a d (God i n Person) has taught me. T H E C H R I S T I A N S p o r t r a y Joseph as someone taking care o f a pregnant w o m a n while he h a d nothing t o do w i t h t h e pregnancy o f M a r y . But, let us t h i n k sanely, as t h e B i b l e teaches u s t h a t M a r y w a s put i n the care of Joseph. How could t h e theologians o f t h e Bible w r i t e that

t h e w o m a n m e t J o s e p h t o a s s " r e h i m t h a t : H e does not h a v e t o fear t a k i n g M a r y i n t o m a r r i a g e f o r t h a t which she is pregnant w i t h is n o t f r o m m a n ; i t i s f r o m God, the Holy Ghost? And, h o w could Joseph accept such a n excuse f o r M a r y ' s pregnancy when he had not the knowledge of any w o m a n i n t h e history o f m a n being found pregnant w i t h a H o l y Ghost's son, f o r ghost means s o m e t h i n g t h a t does n o t e x i s t . Instead, t h e theologians w h o w r o t e t h e history o f Jesus a n d M a r y should have used such words a s : The child that M a r y is pregnant w i t h is a Holy child or a Prophet a n d you, Joseph, a r e the father o f this Prophet a n d y o u should n o t fear accepting h e r a n d accepting t h e t r u t h that y o u a r e t h e father o f t h e child that M a r y is pregnant w i t h , because t h e child w i l l b e t h e last Prophet t o t h e w h i t e race (Jews).

(Mrs. L i l l i a n Roberts is a member of the new breed of B l a c k women which is battling the subtle and overt racism that pervades American society i n both private and government business practices. She was recently sentenced to 3 0 days i n j a i l for her role i n a crusade to b r i n g better wages and w o r k i n g conditions to thousands of employees i n the New Y o r k State hospital system, the i n c a r c e r a t i o n ordered on a charge for which there have only been two prior convictions and then for only half the sentence. T h e state action was condemned by B l a c k leaders and fair people of a l l hues. However, M r s . Roberts was not intimidated. She continues to fight on for freedom, justice and equality for a l l peoples. T h e f o l l o w i n g contains the second and f i n a l installment of her story, as told i n a n exclusive MUHAMMAD SPEAKS interview. In the previous installment, conditions which brought on the strike that resulted in the j a i l order against the brave B l a c k woma n were outlined.)

T h i s is the question asked most frequently b y both the w h i t e s and the blacks. T h e answers t othis question I shall state as s i m p l y as possible. 1. W e w a n t f r e e d o m . W e w a n t a f u l l a n d complete freedom. 2. W e w a n t j u s t i c e . E q u a l j u s t i c e u n d e r the l a w . W e w a n t justice applied equally t o all, regardless o f creed o r class o r color. 3. W e w a n t e q u a l i t y o f o p p o r t u n i t y . W e w a n t equal m e m b e r s h i p i n society w i t h t h e best i n civilized society. 4. W e w a n t o u r p e o p l e i n A m e r i c a w h o s e parents o r grandparents were descendants f r o m slaves, t o be a l l o w e d t o establish a separate state o r t e r r i t o r y of their o w n — e i t h e r on this continent o r elsewhere. W e believe that our f o r m e r slave m a s t e r s a r e obligated t o provide such land a n d that the area m u s t be fertile and m i n e r a l l y rich. W e believe that our f o r m e r slave masters a r e obligated t o m a i n tain a n d supply o u r needs i n this separate t e r r i t o r y f o r t h e n e x t 2 0 t o 25 y e a r s — u n t i l w e are able t o produce a n d supply o u r o w n needs. Since w ecannot getalong with t h e m i n peace a n d e q u a l i t y , a f t e r g i v i n g t h e m 400 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some o fthe worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, w ebelieve our contributions t o this land a n d t h e suffering forced upon us b y white A m e r i c a , justifies our d e m a n d f o r complete separation i n a state o r t e r r i t o r y o f our o w n . 5. W e w a n t f r e e d o m f o r a l l B e l i e v e r s o f I s l a m now held i nfederal prisons. W e want freedom f o r all black m e n a n d w o m e n now under death sentence i n innumerable prisons in t h e N o r t h a s w e l l a s the S o u t h . We want every black m a n and w o m a n t o have t h e freedom t o accept o r reject being separated f r o m the slave master's children and establish a land o f their o w n . We k n o w that the above plan for the solution of the black and w h i t e conflict is the best and only answer to theproblem between two people.

6 W ewant a n immediate end to the police b r u t a l i t y a n d m o b a t t a c k s a g a i n s t the socalled N e g r o throughout the U n i t e d States. We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black m e n a n d w o m e n tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with t h e laws o f the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom a n d liberty. 7. A s l o n g a s w e a r e n o t a l l o w e d t o e s tablish a state o r t e r r i t o r y o f o u r o w n , w e demand not only equal justice under the laws of t h e U n i t e d States, b u t equal e m p l o y m e n t opportunities—NOW!

W e w a n t a l l black children educated, taught a n d trained by their o w n teachers. Under such schooling system w e believe we will m a k e a better nation o f people. T h e United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools a n d college buildings. T h e M u s l i m teachers shall be left free t o teach a n d t r a i n their people i n the w a y o f righteousness, decency a n d self respect. 10. W e b e l i e v e t h a t i n t e r m a r r i a g e o r r a c e m i x i n g should be prohibited. W e w a n t the religion o f I s l a m taught without hinderance o r suppression.
