Our people in the 'Eastern" (i.e. "Orthodox') Muslim world simply do not realize that, had it not been for the West's wanton exploitation and total usurpation of our vast material resources in the days of old (when the various European nations ruled most of Asia and Africa), we would not have to envy or beg of the "benevolent Bid Brother" today for food or other aid.
THE "EASTERN" Muslims fail to fathom that without our own past weaknesses, which permitted the Europeans to penetrate our peaceful lands and slowly but systematically dispossess us of our wherewithal - and even cause inestimable harm to our mental capacities - we would not find ourselves desperateor needy of economic support from others.
As is stands now, there isn't a territory of the righteous on earth which the "beasts" haven't invaded which consequently doesn't bear the ugly tell-tale marks of their "presence.'
There isn't a community of our people where the white colonialists' notorious 'divide-and-rule' dogma has not gnawed at or substantially destroyed the very foundations of its original moral and social structure,. There isn't a spot on the planet where the unsightly 'weeds" (seeds of the wicked) have not somehow found a way to take roots.
LET US examine the matter closely: Just how did the white (Euro-American) world achieve its present "greatness"? Certainly the white races were not always as rich or powerful as they are today. Certainly they did not come into their fortunes through hard work or sheer good luck. Nor did they reach their high plateau of prosperity via fair and ethical trade practices or through strict adherence to pious jedeo-christian traditions.
The answer is simple and obvious: The Europeans acquired their affluence by colonizing much of Africa and Asia as well as the Americas. The U.S.A., in turn, attained its astounding success by driving off its first and original citizens, i.e., the red-skinned Indians, to concentration camps (otherwise known as "reservations"0 and through the use of 400 years of free (slave) labor.
THE SLAVES - millions of them - were "indispensable:". They were brought in from their African homeland to clear America's snake-infested swamps, to dig irrigation ditches and canals, to plant and harvest corn and cotton, to build roads and shelters and for generally carrying out the white slavemaster's other wishes.
Without this unprecedented and largely gratis supply of manpower, the so-called 'pioneers' or "founding fathers' of this country could not have gained a headstart or amassed the fantastic fortunes their descendants and heirs boast of and enjoy.
The mainstream of the U.S.A., of course, to this day remains infected with old 'new world' viruses, such as inequality between man and man. The 22 million black 'nephews and nieces of Uncle Sam" (American so-called "Negroes") are by no means considered or treated as equals of white "Great Society" members; nor are they allowed to exercise civil rights identical to those of the former slave-master's children.
ONE CAN easily deduce that the West has excelled and continues to excel the East mainly in the realms of fire power and human oppression. The Europeans are, indeed, as they have always been, great inventors of lethal hardware. Their cousins on this side of the Atlantic, on the other hand, are, by their own admission the world's leading dealers in devices of destruction and death. Together with that other white monster of military might - the U.S.S.R - they constitute the most serious continual threat to the world of peace, righteousness (ISLAM) and true human progress.
Which only proves what the great U.S. Muslim leader, Honorable Elijah Muhammad, has always preached and I have only in recent years learned from him: whites are, by nature, a race of mischief-mongers and evil-doers. That is to say, they are nothing but the real DEVILS
