"I
do not know of any scriptural book or religion that does not contain some
good. What Allah demands today is a book or religion that is all good, not
a mixture of truth and falsehood, not a book or religion that is all good,
not a mixture of truth and falsehood, not a book or religion that is or has
been tampered with by His enemies.
"The Bible is called a Holy Book, and is often referred to as the Word of God. The present English edition is said to be translated out of the original tongues into the present English language by the authority of one King James is 1611.
"What is the original tongue or language that the Bible was written in? What language did Moses speak? Originally, the Torah (Old Testament) was given to Musa (Moses) in 2000 B.C., who spoke ancient Egyptian Arabic, and the second half (New Testament) was revealed to Isa (Jesus) 2000 years ago. and he (Jesus) spoke both Arabic and Hebrew.
"From the first day that the white race received the Divine Scripture they started tampering with its truth to make it suit themselves and blind the Black man. It is their nature to do evil and the book cannot be recognized as the pure and Holy Word of God.
"The Bible is now being called the Poison Book by God Himself, and who can deny that it is not poison?
"It has poisoned the very hearts and minds of the so-called Negroes so much that they can't agree with each other.
"The Bible opens with the words of someone other than God trying to represent God and His creation to us. This is called the Book of Moses and reads as following: 'In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.' (Gen. 1:1) When was the beginning? There in the Genesis the writer tells us that it was 4,004 B.C. This we know, now, that it refers to the making of the white race, and not the Heaven and the earth.
"The second verse of the First Chapter of Genesis reads: 'And the earth was without form and void; darkness was upon the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.' What was the water on, since there was no form of earth? As I see it, the Bible is very questionable.
"After God had created everything without asking for any help from anyone, then comes His weakness in the 26th verse of the same chapter (Genesis). He invites us to help Him make a man. Allah has revealed that it was us that was invited to make man (white race). A man is far more easy to make than the Heaven and the earth. We can't charge these questionable readings of the Bible to Moses because he was a Prophet of God and they (Prophets) don't lie.
"If the present Bible is the direct Word of God, why isn't God speaking rather than His Prophet Musa? Neither does Moses tell us here in the first chapter of Genesis that it is from God. No, we don't find the name Moses mentioned in the chapter.
"The Bible is the graveyard of my poor people (the so-called Negroes) and I would like to dwell upon it until I am sure that they understand that it is not quite as holy as they first thought it was.
"I don't mean to say that there is no truth in it. Certainly, plenty of truth, if understood.
"Will you (the so-called Negroes) accept the understanding of it?
"The Bible charges all of its great Prophets with evil, it makes God guilty of an act of adultery by charging Him with being the father of Mary's baby (Jesus); again it charges Noah and Lot with drunkenness and Lot getting children by his daughter.
"What a poison book!
"We are being robbed so thoroughly of the Knowledge of self and kind, are opposed to our own salvation in favor of our enemies, and I here quote another poison addition of the slavery teaching of the Bible: 'Love your enemies, bless them who curse you, pray for those who spitefully use you, him that smitteth thee on one cheek offer the other cheek, him that taketh (robs) away the cloak, forbid not to take (away) thy coat also.' (Luke 6: 27-29)
"The slavemasters couldn't have found a better teaching for their protection against the slaves' possible dissatisfaction of their masters' brutal treatment".
