| " White people are born devils by
nature." "Thoughtful white people know they are inferior to black people." "When you want strong coffee, you ask for black coffee. If you want it light, you want it weak, integrated with white milk. Just like these Negroes who weaken themselves and their race by this integrating and intermixing with whites" "The world since Adam has been white--and corrupt. The world of tomorrow will be black--and righteous. In the white world there has been nothing but slavery, suffering, death and colonialism. In the black world of tomorrow, there will be true freedom, justice and equality for all. And that day is coming--sooner than you think." |
"I am not a racist.... In the past I permitted myself to be used...to make sweeping indictments of all white people, the entire white race and these generalizations have caused injuries to some whites who perhaps did not deserve to be hurt. Because of the spiritual enlightenment which I was blessed to receive as a result of my recent pilgrimage to the Holy city of Mecca, I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of any one race. I am now striving to live the life of a true...Muslim. I must repeat that I am not a racist nor do I subscribe to the tenants of racism. I can state in all sincerity that I wish nothing but freedom, justice and equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people." |
| Salaamun 'alaykum, peace upon you You can see in the above quotes how Malcolm's beliefs changed dramatically. For many years he had been an obedient follower of Elijah Muhammad (The founder of the "Nation of Islam"), but gradually he started to understand the falsities of his doctrine, he started to understand that God doesn't discriminate between blacks and whites, all are equal under God. Less than a year before he was killed, he went to Makkah in 1964 to visit God's shrine (Ka'abah), an overwhelming experience awaited him, an experience that would wake him up and earn him a ticket back to Heaven, Excerpt from Letter from Mecca: There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue eyed blonds to black skin Africans. But we were all participating in the same rituals, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had lead me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white. America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have considered 'white' -- but the 'white' attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their color. You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to re-arrange much of my thought patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experiences and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth. During the past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed, (or on the same rug) -- while praying to the same God -- with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. And in the same words and in the actions and in the deeds of the 'white' Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana. We were truly all the same (brothers) -- because their belief in one God had removed the 'white' from their minds, the 'white' from their behavior, and the 'white' from their attitude. I could
see from this,
that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God,
then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of
Man -- and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms
of their differences in color.
In my first trip to America,a scene really surprised me at the airport, black, white and hispanic people working together in the same place!. This scene really made me happy, for eventhough i have been to many continents (Africa, Europe, Asia) i have never seen such a multiracial community. Unfortunately to this day people in America haven't understood exactly what God wants from them by summoning all these races in the same place, still the black communities separate themselves from the white communities, so do the hispanics and the whites! America is the main country on earth today that celebrates racial diversity and that's why God has chosen her as the country from which Submission will spread allover the planet. What will bring all these races together is nothing but "Submission", the creed of Abraham, Submission abolishes all the artificial differences that Satan use to divide the people. A major tool that Satan use is race, God teaches us in Quran that the different races and colours are only an illusion, what matters is our beliefs and not our looks. God intended his kingdom on earth to be multi-racial, that does not mean that we force multiracialism on all the people, but it means that we should let nature take its course without being biased to a race or another, in a healthy society you would find mixed race families as well as single race ones, there will be no discrimination of any kind, the only criteria will be righetousness, God willing. The visible differences are but an illusion that God willing will be exposed very soon after the event of 119. [49:13] O people, we
created you from the same male and female, and rendered
you distinct peoples and tribes,
that you may recognize one another.
The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant. |
