Reprinted from the July 3,1964 edition of Muhammad Speaks Newspaper
We never will believe in anything other than the religion of Islam. The religion of entire submission to the Divine Will of God. And the religion, according to the teaching of Islam, is the very nature of the righteous, that is to submit to the will of the God of truth, freedom, justice and what we are trying to do."
" WE ARE NOT trying to do anything in the way of violence or allying ourselves on the side of those who do such. The thing we are trying to do is make ourselves a better people than we have been, and this has caused much misunderstanding and willingfully made charges of other than good against us. "
WE HAVE ACCEPTED Islam to be our religion, and old religion as old as God himself, a religion of the Prophets, of all the Righteous, a religion of Freedom, Justice, and Equality, a religion of Universal Brotherhood,a religion that a brother will fight and die for another brother,a religion that believes in the laws given to Moses " An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
The so-called American Negroes are more deprived of equal justice than any people of earth. Justice is one of the greatest principles of righteousness, fair dealing with one another. If justice was to prevail throughout the world there never would come a day of Judgment. The unjust Judges of the world are not concerned with justice for the black man of America."
