-On the Blind Leaders Leading the Blind-
By Elijah Muhammad
Messenger of Allah
What do the marchers, founded by the Reverend Martin Luther King, expect to gain from doing disgraceful things that are against intelligent and decent principles. The Christian preachers forget about the teachings of their Bible for the love of trying to get the respect of the white man. They will lead their followers into disgrace and shame, and finally into hell. They want to appear big and honorable in the eyes of the world at any price.
REV. MARTIN LUTHER KING declared on television and over the radio that he wanted to be the brother of white people, our enemies, which he was not created to be, by nature, and not their brother-in-law, which means that he wanted to be a l blood brother of white people as do his followers. What he wanted was to be white. Rev. King followed up by.saying that he didn't want to draw a drop of blood from the white man, whom he wanted so dearly to be his brother. He said if there be any blood spilled, let it come from him and his Black followers.
This was accomplished in the murder of Rev. King by the white man. This act and the desire of Rev. King openly showed that he was an enemy to his own people. He was not their friend, but was a friend to the white man.
He and his followers had been spilling their own blood in order to become the brother and friend of white people, who are the children of our fathers' slave masters our, lynchers, kidnappers, and the rapers of our girls and women w~h is disgraceful to Black men.
REV. KING and his followers did not seem to care how much disgrace they brought upon themselves or their women and daughters,
How many times have you seen young women being disgraced in such marches by being dragged on the street, thrown down by officers, who then threw them in police wagons? How many times have you seen dogs sicked on them, fire hoses turned on them? Yet you still think Martin Luther King was a great leader. What has marching all over the country, falling down on the street and highways, with sore and swollen feet, and being shot and ambushed by the enemy, accomplished? What are you. to gain from them?
YOU CAN'T fight back because you don't have equal weapons; and you don't have God on your side because a people who have faith in the enemy of God cannot hope for any help from God. So, I cannot see anything in this kind of continuous action but disgrace
and shame. I would not isay anything at all about your actions if not for the fact that God has given to me the mission of separating you from your enemies, and setting you in heaven with money, good homes, and friendship in all walks of life. I do not want God and the world to think I would stand idly by and allow' such foolish actions to be carried on by lovers of white people and not say anything, I would be charged with this.
I love you and I want the best for you. You should not be dumb as it is written today, you should be qualifying for the rulership of your Nation.
It is regrettable and shameful to see the intellectual people joining such marches and begging Washington to adopt them as their kin. I have looked at the dogs that have been trained by the enemy to rip the flesh of Rev. King and his followers, intellectual preachers, politicians, and other professional people. These dogs are sicked on them by the enemy. Yet this is not enoughthey still desire to march and lay at the gate of the rich man and the government to beg for equality with the white man, too lazy to go for self.
Can a beggar be equal with his master?
YOU REJECT my teachings, but it is written in the Revelation of John that you have been warned that you should not worship devils. This is what the black preachers are doing, trying to get you (the non-preachers) to follow them into hell worshiping the white man. Read the Bible for yourself. You don't have to take my word for it. Allah is independent as the truth is independent of falsehood.
I would not accept any man lying out in front of my gate as my equal. I would think he is a foolish man to think that I would classify myself with such an undignified person.
It looks as though our educated black society acts more foolish in respect for freedom, justice and equality for black men, than do the uneducated who are in the mud of civilization. What black man would be so foolish as to tell me to come follow him in order to lay around and beg white people and then tell me that if they attack me with weapons in order to beat and kill me, I am not to strike back, and I am not to shed a drop of their blood.
THIS IS against the very law of nature. Nature teaches us to try to defend ourselves against any attacker. That nature is in every life and the Law of God backs up the law of retaliation in self-defense. It was given to Moses and the prophets, and even to Jesus. They try to take this (not striking back) for an example, yet the Bible teaches that Jesus s a I d (Matthew 10:34) "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." This is right, 'but 'he found that he had come before time to execute the judgment on the people of which he was not to do anyway.
He was not the one to execute the judgment, therefore, he died for his good intentions. He condemned their world as being a world of devils, and that their fathers were devils. (John 8:44) "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is. a liar, and the father of it."
HE WAS so good and righteous to them that he wanted to spill his own blood for their salvation.
We must remember, concerning the evil of the white race against the black race, that their fathers killed the prophets and that they are the cause of Jesus' death. Yet you make friends with them and become their lovers, when even Jesus could not make friends with them. None of the prophets could find a way of making peace with them. They say Jesus died for them, but they killed Jesus-He did not die for them. They killed Him because He was teaching righteousness. Their world was built on falsehood, therefore, the teaching of righteousness had no place in their world.
They have proved this to us today for they will kill you for opposing them. They don't want black people as equals. They think they are better than you are.
THE EARTH is wide. Why should we try to force ourselves on a people who have proven for over a century that they don't want you for anything in the world except a tool. Yet he will kill you if you are working for him. He will kill you all day long.
I am preaching this truth, but because of their pride Allah allows them to disgrace themselves.
The teachings of the Holy Quran and the Bible are very strongly against being proud against the truth of God.
The poor, ignorant ones among us fall in line to be disgraced. Some of you are foolish enough today to call Martin Luther King one of the greatest leaders of the black people.
- Is this what you call a great leader someone who leads you to disgrace and shame - someone who begs you enemies to allow you to be caJled their brothers, and remain under slavery to the same people who had our fathers enslaved for four hundred years? Now you are free to go from such a people and you still want them to keep you and even recognize you as their people. They cannot recognize you as equals, when you don't have a state in the United States of America, nor do you have a city or anything. They can't give you a place with them as their equal, when they have everything and you have nothing.
CAN YOU imagine preachers who claim they went to the theological seminary colleges, yet don't know their own salvation any better than this.
The teachings of the Holy Quran and the Bible condemns them, and finally the Bible teaches you in the last Book called Revelation (19:20) that such disciples of the devil were seen pushed alive into a lake of fire with the devil whom they loved and worshipped and they received his mark (name). It has been clearly said from the mouth of God, that the white race is a race of devils and the act of murdering the Rev. King proves that they are devils.
This is so plain for us, but you are blind as Jesus prophesied you would be-the blind leaders leading the blind and both falling into the ditch together (hell).
YOU SCORN our program (on the back page of this paper) to unite and ask the government for some portion of the country for having unjustly disgraced and killed us and our fathers. Let us demand some territory where we can be away from such enemies whom God has declared to be disagreeable to live with in peace. We could have told God this ourselves since we were enslaved for 400 years. We have never lived one day in peace with them. This they are proving in and out of America.
They should help us to return to our native land from where they brought us, and support us with that which is necessary for 20 or 25 years.
God will most certainly let you suffer hell in trying to make peace with them. They cannot make peace with you if they wanted to. God. is against them doing so, because He must make manifest to you and me that they are not a people of peace. It is up to God to give you the trutt whether you accept it or not. HE sends that truth through a Messenger. and I am that Messenger.
Rev. Martin Luther King got what he preached and asked for. He asked that no white blood be spilled. God gave him his desire -his blood was spilled and not some blood of an innocent black person who was not preaching that.
HOW GREAT was Rev. Martin Luther King? How great is his successor, Ralph Abernathy? Do you call such leaders great, who lead you and your people to shame, disgrace and death? If so where are your brains?
The non-believers shall have their part in the lake of fire with the white people. If you are afraid to join onto the truth, ant reject the enemy of truth, you should have hell. That is what you are asking for. As it is written, God will reward us according to our work.
