PROPHET FARD MOHAMMED IS OUR DELIVERER BY PROPHECY OF THE BIBLE AND QURAN
________________________________________________________________________
O our People! Accept the divine Caller and believe in him, he will forgive you of your faults and protect you from a painful chastisement.
And whoever does not accept the divine Caller (The Prophet of ALLAH) he shall not escape in the earth, and shall not have any help. Quran (Al-Ahqaf) Chap. XI, VI, 31-32.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her (Christian churches) my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Therefore, shall her (Christendom) plague come in one day (year). Death and Mourning, and Famine: And she shall be utterly burned with fire: For strong is the Lord (ALLAH) who judgeth her. (The Christian churches.) Rev., 18th Chap., 4th and 8th Ver.
HE, that reads this little Weekly Paper shall be made wise, but he who denies it and what it says is foolish and will DIE IN HIS SINS!

A WARNING TO THE BLACK MAN OF AMERICA
Lift up our heads, O my people, and turn your EYES TOWARDS THE EAST, Your FATHER’S LAND, AND THE HOLY CITY, which our FATHERS built (TRIBE OF SHABAZZ on this Earth millions of years before we made and grafted these Devils who have deceived us for 379 years and caused us to worship them up as Gods, and have killed us both PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY. I have good NEWS for you, THUS SAYS your SAVIOUR, OUR REDEEMER, whom you do not KNOW, but I know him to be our only friend. YEA, AND THE DEVILS KNOW THAT HE IS YOUR DELIVERER, bet will not tell you until it is too late.
THERE HAVE COME MANY WARNERS TO THE BLACK MAN OF AMERICA, trying to warn him of his deadly enemy, but what happened to them? Some we killed, some we imprisoned, and some we exiled. What a foolish people we are. We fear our enemies far more than we love one another. Your last warner is here and you will either hear or die. FEAR NOT! Your enemy, but FEAR HIM who is able to destroy you and your enemies.
The only way that Prophet FARD can make us believe that he is our Deliverer, is to first show us how utterly ignorant we are of ourselves and how vain is the worship of any God beside ALLAH. The best way is by Plagues. He is now withholding the rain from America and Great Britain. He is smiting these two countries with plagues as often as he wills. It is because these two countries are ALLAH’S greatest enemies. Of all the governments of the world there never existed one so wicked as America, which has misled the Holy People of ALLAH, and deceived them into worshiping a God that they cannot see, nor hear, that is a God which does not exist. For this cause ALLAH has stretched forth his hand against the wicked America to bring her down, even to dust and ashes, a country whose land is full of churches and in them wickedness is practised beyond words to describe.
The devils who have been deceiving us for 379 years have caused us to worship him and love him, really better than we love ourselves. Therefore it will take a very severe punishment to make us return to ALLAH, the true God. But thanks be to the Prophet of ALLAH, who this day has come and has withdrawn his blessings from those who disbelieve him. The devils know ALLAH, and His Prophet; but will not confess it to anyone but a Moslem. He is doing every thing now in his power to pull our people away from their Deliverer (Prophet FARD) because he knows that this man came to deliver us. Now just how are they fooling our people!
First, by teaching those who do not understand, against the Prophet and Islam, which the Prophet teaches. They try to make it appear to those who do not know, that Islam is a religion that we should not have, nor believe in, nor study. He publishes a lot of evil things through his press against Islam. They give it such names as “Cult” and “Voodoo.” They say it is a Sacrificial Religion, and that it kills its followers. This is done to keep you from being protected by the nations (Asia). If a Moslem is like he puts it, just why does he wear the Moslem’s Fez? And build Temples to worship ALLAH in? They have one in this city which cost about seven million dollars to build, more than that of any other building here. Islam does not kill its followers — it kills its enemies. Now, it is Christianity which kills its followers. Look at the wholesale Christian slaughtering going on in Germany now, and elsewhere in Christendom. Remember also our many sons and daughters that the damnable white Christians have sacrificed by hanging them in trees and roasting them in fires. Can we count them? Do not let them fool you, with their back patting and deceitful grinning.
Another way they are fooling our people, is by mixing with them in churches. They know our people are foolish enough to like for them to come among them: and pat them on the back while all the time in their hearts they desire to see everyone of us dead. He well knows that if you stay in the churches you will surely die as soon as the Holy War starts. Just what will start the Holy War? It will be started by the devil killing some Moslem. It is just as dangerous to put one of these righteous followers to death as it would be to put a ton of iron around ones neck and then jump into the middle of the ocean. Understand me. This is not said with the intention of defying the opponents of Islam, because we know that some of us will die to save the rest; but nevertheless we will continue to warn you whether you believe it or not, that is our call.
All our lives we have been trying to find a way that would lead us right and with power behind it. And thanks be to ALLAH, Prophet FARD has shown us this good old way that will stand against the accursed devils. Our trouble has been that we did not have any backing. BUT NOW WE HAVE A CONSOLIDATED ASIA BEHIND US AND WE FEAR NOTHING! We take death with a smile; to free our people of this devil, we have no limits. We love everybody that is righteous and are determined to bring true brotherly love between all Asiatic Blacks at any price.
We are hated, despised, and prosecuted by our own blood, and now denied a place to warn them of what ALLAH is about to do. Remember this city drove away our SAVIOUR FARD the same applies to his FOLLOWERS, but when they PROSECUTE you in this city, flee ye into another. Matthew 10:23 V.
The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain KING, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding, and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants saving, “Tell them which are hidden.” “Behold, I (ASIA) have prepared my dinner, my OXEN, and my fattling are killed, all things are ready: come into the Marriage (ASIA).” But they (BLACK MAN IN AMERICA) made LIGHT of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise and the remnant (DEVILS) took his SERVANTS AND treated them spitefully and slew them, but when the KING (ASIA) heard thereof, HE WAS ANGRY! and sent forth his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Matthew 22; 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. This is fulfilled in your eyes today!

The Educational Department of Islam
There is an Educational Department set up by Prophet FARD, which is superior to all Literary training ever known in America. It has in its scope, the qualities that create a higher Mental State for those that pursue such education.
We have among us old brothers and sisters that actually did not know how to add 4 plus 4, so deprived were they of their training and so illiterate were they made by the devil that it would seem impossible to make such headway in teaching them. But Prophet FARD, the Holy one of ARABIA, prophesied to come in these last days, has really come and set up such a university and has chosen such teachers that both the old and young have been able to absorb knowledge far advanced of the present civilization. These people have been trained by Prophet FARD to compute the distance between one planet and another. They can tell how many planets are inhabited and the names of them; the distance from the Sun and their periodic time in days, hours or seconds. The same ones also can estimate every square inch of their home, which is the whole Planet Earth.
Ask one of these pupils the definition of the Atom, and he will tell you of its reality and how Prophet FARD cracked one, even though it was so small that ten thousand of them placed upon the point of a needle cannot be seen through a powerful microscope. Yet he was able to split one Atom, into 10 million parts. Such knowledge surpasses the understanding of the average human being of this era.
Not only have the principles of Higher Mathematics been taught, but many other sciences too numerous to mention.
There are twelve courses included in Prophet FARD’S university, which at this juncture I shall not go into detail to name, but one would not wonder why the pupils of this university are so alert and active after gaining only an insight to these subjects.
The pupils are active and energetic in spite of the advanced years of many of them. They are quick and spry as in youth and the mental qualities of many are so acute and precise that they know just how to handle a situation on the spur of the moment without long study.
Indeed Prophet FARD has trained them how to recognize a person from far distance even if only seen once. This is not the achievement of all, but it has been acquired by some already.
The children also are far more advanced than the adults, and have made much greater headway than the adults, their minds being naturally younger and more flexible.
We shall cut short this treatise at this time, and in another article soon we shall go further into details concerning the Life and Teaching of PROPHET FARD!

EDITORIAL
By JOHN ALI
The Moslem considers it his sacred duty to rescue his brothers and sisters who are sleeping away in ignorance after having drained to the dregs the poison cup of Christian civilization — a deadly portion concocted by the devil himself and served by the preacher in the church. This duty is at all times uppermost in his mind. He realizes clearly and fully the magnitude of his task. He must deal with you who do not know yourselves (because such knowledge was long ago destroyed by the devil) and must fight the devil off — a stubborn fight the devil is putting up because HE KNOWS THAT THE MOMENT THAT YOU FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE AND WHO HE IS, HE CAN NO LONGER TREAT YOU LIKE A DOG. HE KNOWS THAT YOU WILL THEN DEMAND AND RECEIVE FROM HIM JUSTICE, FREEDOM AND EQUALTIY. The Moslem is most patient and sympathetic with you because he knows and appreciates the fact that a few months ago, someone exercised patience and sympathy in arousing him from his almost fatal sleep. He loves you and wishes to save you from this hell that the devil keeps you in — yes, and the only hell you will ever experience.
You are so much influenced by the devil’s newspapers that you even refuse to listen to the one bringing you knowledge concerning Islam. Some even act as though they are afraid of a Moslem. My friends Islam is yours. Islam is the Black man’s religion. Christianity is the white man’s religion. There are about four billion four hundred million people in the world with dark skins like yours and mine. There are only four hundred millions whites in the world; certainly not more than five hundred million. We here in America number about seventeen million. The only Christians in the world are the four hundred million whites and the seventeen million Blacks here. There are millions and millions of Moslems in the world, your brothers and sisters across the water in the East, who desire to wake you up. They are going to wake you up — they are gently pulling after you and softly calling you now. You must first learn how the devil deprived you of all knowledge of yourself, before you can appreciate the message of a Moslem.
Let us see just what do we know about ourselves. We say that Christianity was good enough for our mothers and fathers and therefore it is good enough for us. Now do we really know anything about our mother’s and father’s religion? THE ANSWER IS NO! WE ONLY KNOW WHAT THE WHITE MAN TOLD US. It is sad to think but true nevertheless. We have had to take the white man’s word about what kind of religion our foreparents had AND EVEN AS TO WHO OUR FOREPARENTS WERE AND THE PLACE FROM WHENCE HE STOLE THEM. Naturally in furtherance of his scheme to rob us of everything we had so that he could use us, he told us that he stole us from the jungles of Africa and that at the time, we were savages and that we did not have any religion or if we did have one it was very much inferior to Christianity. The dirty skunk lied thrice, and will be exposed in subsequent issues of this paper. The main point now to be stressed is the fact that all we know about what we did before being brought to this country and enslaved is what the white man taught us.
Why is it that we cannot gather in our family circles and talk of the doings of our forefathers? Why is it that we cannot tell our children just what their forefathers were before being brought captives to the hellish shores of North America? What happened to the songs of our forefathers — the ones they sang, say five hundred years ago?
These questions cannot be answered. You may say that the reason why is that we were taken from our native land and enslaved. No, this is not the real reason because other peoples have been enslaved and carried to foreign countries BUT THEIR CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS WERE HANDED DOWN FROM ONE GENERATION TO ANOTHER, the doings of their ancestors are recorded and preserved in the form of folk-songs, folk-dances and the like. For example the Indians can tell you of their noble fathers who lived hundreds of years ago. It may be no more than a song which recites the deeds of some courageous chief, long since departed, nevertheless it preserved the tradition.
But our group memory goes back to slavery and stops, just as though our life’s history started from that date. Had you ever stopped to think of this dreadful fact? Let us now ascertain the reason why we cannot go back of slavery. We must now learn how the white man deprived us of the memory of our past. How he robbed us of everything that we knew before he brought us across the ocean. If you once thoroughly comprehend the methods employed by him to enslave our noble forefathers, you will never again love or trust him. You will hate him with a hatred that will set your very heart afire!
The devil realized that he could not make the first captives brought over to this country work for him. They loved their freedom, and fought the devil. So in order to carry out his desire to enslave us, he committed the most atrocious crime of all time — that of the wholesale murder of our righteous forefathers. It was cold blooded, premeditated murder. He allowed those originally brought over to live until children were born unto them AND BEFORE THE CHILDREN WERE OLD ENOUGH TO TALK, HE MURDERED THEIR PARENTS! He then took their helpless and defenseless children and taught them a mess of lies about themselves. He taught them that he was their master, and that he always had been and always would be. He taught them that they were beasts and not human beings and to convince them that such was the case he used them as such. He sold those children, our immediate kin, in the market place. How could they know who they were? Their parents had been murdered while they were too young to even remember ever seeing them. NOW YOU CAN SEE WHY WE CANNOT GO BACK BEYOND SLAVERY. He even taught them to despise one another, to lie on one another; and above all to tell him everything that his brother was doing. But there is one thing more which he did to us that was even more detrimental than all the other, namely, he pumped our heads full of his Christianity.
The devil did not wish to have any trouble in the future with these Black children of the East and he proceeded to kill their mental faculties with the poisonous ideas of his religion. My friends remember that it was a Christian government which permitted and sanctioned all the cruel and inhumane deeds just mentioned. Remember that the devil preached and prayed all the while he was murdering us. This alone should be enough to make us vomit with rage at the very sight of a church. We have been so carefully and skilfully given the deadly portion of Christianity that we cannot bear to hear anyone say anything against it. What a pity it is that we cannot see that if Christianity had been good for us that the devil would not have given it to us. Remember we live in a government that fosters Christianity. In fact all white people cherish it; indeed they are the only ones who do. The non-white world is also non-Christian. The answer is, because it is something that causes the mind to wander off into space, after something which will save one after death, but in the meanwhile will not object to the devil having this earth and the fullness thereof. Let us go into this more in detail.
We have the doctrine of life after death with its reward of heaven or hell. This idea has been our destruction. We have ceased to live fully and completely in this life because we hope to live another life after death. It makes us too satisfied with present conditions. This doctrine is impossible of proof and must be followed, if at all, blindly in complete and utter disregard of all human reason and observation. Here is the way it works out in every day life. A Black man is lynched by a devout white Christian. Immediately we take the matter to the Lord in prayer and soon find a sort of consolation in believing that the victim will some day be resurrected and will find a resting place in heaven, a place far beyond the skies and that he will then be supplied with a pair of wings, a long white robe, a starry crown and some milk and honey thrown in for good measure. Our instinct to fight the devil who slew our brother has been almost completely overcome with the belief that God is going to do the punishing by casting the lyncher into hell when he dies, where he will receive everlasting torment. Thus our minds are taken off of the realities of this life and projected into eternity. The Moslem will ask the reason why a just God, a Loving Father should permit the lynching in the first place, and if God is able to save us after death, why does he not give us a sample some time and come down and save a poor Black man about to be barbecued by white Christians.
The answer probably will be that maybe the victim had sinned against God and hence was not entitled to Divine protection. If the question is asked: Why should an unborn baby die in its mother’s womb when the mother is lynched by some bloodthirsty Christian? The answer is that maybe the mother of the baby had sinned or if she did not her mother or her mother’s mother did. If the Christian is further questioned, he has one answer that fits any and all cases, the one, that God’s will must be done. But suppose the man that was lynched had first been knocked unconscious and did not have time to repent and be saved? Then it necessarily follows that, although burned once by Christian devils, he must some day he awakened by a trumpet, his ashes gathered from the four corners of the Earth and life put again into the body and his five senses then restored so that he might know and feel the hell prepared by his God. The Moslem reasons that the Christian idea of God partakes both of the nature of a post-mortem Santa Claus and boogey-man. And the Moslem will tell you anytime and anywhere that nothing but a devil could have invented such a cruel and inhuman idea of God.
Another doctrine that has had a demoralizing effect upon the Black man is the one that a curse has been put upon him and his posterity. The devil taught the preacher that Noah had three sons and that one of the sons (who was the father of the Black man) laughed at his father’s nakedness while the father was drunk: and that the punishment was doom for him and his seed to be servants of the other brothers (white men) forever. What the white man wanted to do was to make the Black believe that HE WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK FOR THE WHITE MAN BY DIVINE DECREE.
The next detrimental aspect of this religion given to the Black man by the white man, is that it creates a fear in the heart of the believer. He is taught to fear something that he has never seen, never felt, never smelt, never tasted and never heard. He is told that this something is everywhere: that it is ever watching him. He sincerely believes that it will take care of him. And his last words upon being lynched by the persons who gave him such an idea, is a prayer to that mysterious something that will go to great pains to save him after he is dead but declines to come to his rescue while he is alive.
Dear brothers and sisters, cannot you see from what has been said that we have been robbed of everything that our ancestors had and knew by the white man? Does the devil not stand before us with hands stained with our innocent blood? Does it mean anything to you that already in the brief space of six months, he has lynched 13 of us? Now do you think that a demon hungering and thirsting after your righteous blood would give you anything good? Give him back his Christianity. The thing in space which he taught you to fear does not exist. Let us take our minds out of space and focus them upon plans to get out of this devil’s hell and enjoy some measure of heaven before we die.

A WARNING TO THE BLACK MAN OF AMERICA
Chapter II.
By ELIJAH MOHAMMED
Minister of Islam in North America.
Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad for our day of deliverance is come; no longer are we in the bondage of ignorance of that which we originally possessed. The dead are rising, the sick are being healed, yea, the blind are seeing, the deaf are hearing and the prisoners are being freed; because our SAVIOUR is in the midst of us and is doing great things. He will make everyone that hates him and disregards his call confess that he is God. He is our salvation. Fear you not, oh my people, and be not ashamed, for your former sins are forgiven. Only return unto your own kind and acknowledge him (Fard Mohammed) who has power to deliver us from our enemy and give us back the religion of our fathers and the Holy Prophets. Come unto him and receive YOUR HOLY NAMES and lay aside the names that the devil forced upon our poor forefathers, whom he held in slavery for 310 years.
Do you count as nothing the blood of our poor brothers upon the hands of white (devil) lynchers? Be you ashamed, oh, my people — How, oh how, under the Divine Law, can you smile in the face of him (white devil) who is killing your sons and daughters day and night! Oh! My sisters, how can you smile in the devil’s face when you know he desires to see you and your beautiful daughters made prostitutes and diseased creatures, before the nations. Do you love his perishable dollar more than the lives of our sons and daughters?
Come out from them (devils) and get on to your own kind, or die, for the time is at hand. Your King is here to deliver us — everyone that has ASIATIC BLOOD. GET ON TO YOUR KIND.
Moses Prophesies of Fard Mohammed
Ever since the time of the prophecy of Moses, the eyes of the whole civilized world have looked for the coming of the prophet which he predicted would come after him. He said one would come like him and whom the people must obey (Deut. 18:15-18). One who would set up Justice and free the oppressed, and deliver the poor (Black Man of his enemy.) The Jews thought when David came to the throne of Israel that he was that Deliverer Moses spoke of. They also thought that Solomon was the one; only to be disappointed. Two thousand years elapsed after the time of Moses and no King had come and set up Justice (Righteousness) in the land.
However, all of a sudden the news spread abroad that the man Moses had prophesied and wrote of was now born in Bethlehem of Judea. But upon the death of Jesus (Assia) the Jews were disappointed again. Because they heard Jesus prophesy of a conquering Prophet who would come after him. And that Prophet would deliver everyone that HAD HIS NAME (ASIATIC HOLY NAME) written in the Book of Life (The Black Nation).
The whole seventeen millions in North Amerien of Asiatic origin believe Jesus (Assia) fulfilled Moses’ prophecy and that this same man Jesus (Assia) who was murdered on the streets of Jerusalem two thousand years ago will arise and come back in the form of a spirit (spook) and save those who believe in the Christian Religion (devil’s religion). And even save the devil himself! How far my people are from understanding this Bible which they read.
Will you hear, oh, my people, the truth? And condemn me if you know I am in error, and reprove me of any evil if you are righteous. Moses (Mossa) was a Prophet born in Egypt and educated there under Black Egyptian teachers. Although Mossa was half and half he was sent to Europe by the Holy Scientist at the Holy City Mecca, to teach the devils in the caves of Europe. He was sent to teach them the civilization that they had lost two thousand years before, when they (devils) were driven from Arabia (Holy Land) across the Desert of Arabia into what they now call Europe. An Angel (The Turk) was stationed at the East Gate with a sword (the Dardenelles full of explosives) to keep the devils out of Asia.
Prophets of the Bible Were Moslems
All the Holy Prophets of the Bible were Moslems and were Black Asiatics from Abraham to Prophet Fard Mohammed — last of all the Prophets. The Bible is a book that was prepared purposely as a warning to us in North America. It is not for Jews nor Greeks. It speaks of none but the Black man of America and his falling away from Islam, our forefather’s religion and following after strangers (devils) and their religion. It exhorts them to cease the worship of Idols (Christian God) which our forefathers knew not nor did they fear or regard such gods.
Bible Nothing But Warning to Black Man of America
The whole contents of the Bible that you have, predict the return of us back to Islam and Asia, our home. But remember that the same devils who enslaved our forefathers and ourselves DILUTED THE TRUTH IN THE BIBLE when they translated it out of the Greek tongues into the English language. It was originally given to the Hebrews by the Ethiopians (Moslems). The Asiatic Moslems knew that they would have a lost brother somewhere on the Planet Earth. But the Holy Quran did not say where he would be. But they all believed that in the devil’s civilization was where their lost brother would be. So they gave this warning Book (Bible) to the Jews (devils) that perchance if the lost brother would see it and read and understand its contents he would rise from the death of ignorance to the call of the Messenger (Prophet Fard Mohammed) whom Allah would send before the destruction of his enemies (Malachi 4:5).
The Bible Is Diluted
Therefore, when our enemies understood that the Book was for us they slew every one of the Translators of the Bible as it was then in its truest sense. They finally got a bunch of wicked translators and through them they took out some of the truth and added lies to some parts of it. And that part which they did publish was put in Symbolic words. So obscure is the truth in the American Bible that it took no less than the Saviour of the Lost Brother of Asia to unfold its contents. But Glory to Prophet Fard Mohammed, our Redeemer, whom Allah has sent, and made the hidden truth plain to us, that we may teach it to our brothers who are blind to it and are sleeping in the grave of North America. He came that all may know the truth today and flee for their lives to their kind. Blessed be the Holy Prophet who has power to close the bosom of the clouds, that it rain not and bring fire from the sun which scorches men and dries up their streams. In this day of his call to the Lost Brothers of Islam he is letting them know that there is no God but Allah and that he is his Prophet dwelling in the midst of them.
He will show us how utterly ignorant we are in praying to a Christian God that does not exist. Allah has control over the rain and everything that exists or cometh forth out of the Universe. Glory be to Allah for thine is the praise: there is no God but Thou and Fard Mohammed is thy Prophet.
What is the matter with you, my people, that you cannot see that judgment is near your doors. Yes, a cry and a groaning is coming from everyone that worships Christianity. But look at the Moslem, he knows that he is right with Allah and is happy that he heeded the warning call of his Messenger (Prophet Fard Mohammed). Moses (Mossa) said the last Prophet whom the world must obey would be like him. Moses was Half and Half, so is Prophet Fard Mohammed. It is further said in Prophecy that as Moses lifted up the serpent (devil) in the Wilderness of Europe, so shall the son of man (Black Man) in the Wilderness of North America he lifted up. This Prophecy clearly shows that as the devils had gone savage and were living in the eaves of Europe in the time of Moses and that likewise as Moses had to civilize those Jews (devils) he also foresaw the same job on the shoulders of Prophet Fard Mohammed. He saw that today Prophet Fard would have to civilize us here back to the knowledge of ourselves and our religion, Islam, that the devils deprived us of 379 years ago.
Jesus Prophesies of Fard Mohammed
By no means did Jesus (Assia) fulfill this Prophecy because Jesus was not mixed blooded. Mary and Joseph were in every respect real Black Moslems. Moreover, the people did not obey Jesus’ call and he acknowledged that it was not time then to make the devils righteous. However, he warned the people of one coming after him who would be successful in setting up righteousness universally. Again, we know that Jesus (Assia) was not sent to teach the Black man. He was sent to the Jews only. Because at that time the Jews had become great enemies of Allah. They had fallen away from the teaching of the Holy Quran, which was given them by Moses. Let us remember again, that this same Jesus (Assia) prophesied that the last great Prophet (PROPHET FARD MOHAMMED) would seek and find the brother that was lost and he called this lost brother a sheep. Never have the Jews been lost from anyone. Also we must remember that the name ‘sheep’ given is a symbol of righteousness, that is, the righteous brother who was lost from the fold. This applies discreetly to us in America, because we were never told by our enemies who made slaves of us that the Moslems (Asiatics) in the East beyond Europe were our brothers and that our first parents who were brought over here were from the Nile in Egypt. No, they taught us we were from the jungles of Africa, and that all of our people lived there. The Bushman lives in this part of Africa, which is called the Jungles of East Asia by all Moslems. This teaching of Africa to us was to make us think we were all savages when brought here and that they did us a favor by pumping their wicked civilization in us. Again, the teaching of Africa was given so that when we desired to go see our land — Africa would be the place we would want to go to. They knew that if and when we got there we would not like to live there (Jungles of Africa — to be accurate Jungles of Asia) and would desire to return.
This misinformation has grown up in all the Lost Found Brothers here in America who have a desire to go to Africa (Jungles of Asia). Why does not the white man teach you to go to Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Yemen, or Afghanistan? No, he knew that if you went East you would learn who you were. Today even the Preachers have not the knowledge of where to seek the truth, when his Bible tells him that wisdom and the truth are found in the East among his brother Moslems. But does the Preacher go East and get this wisdom and learn whether the white man lied to him or not before teaching his people the white man’s religion? No! The Preachers go to Europe to the same white man looking for the truth or a way to rob his people. How can one of you expect the devils who enslaved you and who are still after you now, to teach you the truth? The reason why the Preachers hate their brother Moslems in the East today and are working hand in hand with our enemies is because they are foolish and dumb to the knowledge of their own. Where is the Holy City the Preachers are going to carry their followers to? No Christians have any Holy City, the only Holy City is owned by Moslems and that is Mecca. Even Jerusalem, which the Preachers call the Holy City, belongs to Moslems. So where are they headed to? Nowhere but to hell!

A NEW VIEW WITH NEW EYES
By A READER.
When an Original man here in America has the veil of ignorance removed from his eyes he sees everything in a different light. For the first time he sees himself the Cream of the Universe, the god and sole owner of the Planet Earth. He sees that he is not the scum of the Earth as the devil would have him believe. He likewise sees that practically everything he once did was not quite right. He is amazed at his former conduct. But the thing that puzzles him most is the reason why and how he could love the devil.
For example, he used to go to Navin Field and yell like hell for or against the Tigers. If he was not able to go to the ball park he would listen at the game over the radio. And especially did he enjoy congregating with his Original brothers on some street corner and discuss and debate the merits or demerits of the Tigers and their opponents.
Since he has awakened to the knowledge of himself, he does not give a damn about the Tigers or any of their colleagues. He sees the situation in its true aspect.
He now sees that the team is composed for the most part of men hot from Lynchers’ Paradise. A place where the principal sport is lynching Black Christians. When he sees their faces he instantly is reminded of all the barbarous acts of savagery that they and their kind have inflicted and are still inflicting upon him and his own flesh and blood.
He cannot but think of the place (Lynchers Paradise) — the place where most of the big league ball players come from. He could not enjoy seeing them play for thinking of what is going on down there. He knows that his Original sisters cannot escape the lustful passions of the white beasts, who prey upon them with impunity. He knows that the beasts can violate the most sacred blessing incident to wedlock and then terrify the victim into silence. Yes, silence, because of the fear of the wife to tell her husband of what transpired be cause she knows that the affair will end up in a lynching or maybe a wholesale massacre.
He cannot see why or how any Original man could love any game the white man plays. He now sees him as a beast of prey ready to pounce upon him and tear him to pieces and lick up his innocent blood.
And lastly, he cannot see how he had any enthusiasm for a ball team that is too damn proud to play ball with his Original brothers, any number of whom can play rings around the Tigers! And he says, to hell with the Tigers, now and for all time. His sincere wish and desire is that you will say likewise.

EDITORIAL
Some months ago the Egyptian Moslems staged one of the most pompous receptions of modern times. The occasion was the welcoming to Egypt of six Black Moslems who had come from the United States. The splendor and magnificence of their exhibition of good will and brotherly love aroused the curiosity of Pierre Crabites, a white Christian from the United States (presumably from the Southern part thereof), who happened to be in Egypt at the same time. So he inquired as to what was the cause of such a grand celebration. He was shocked with surprise to learn that six Black men from the cotton fields of the Southern part of the United States were being treated as kings by the Egyptians because they were Moslems. He was informed that the Black man was the Cream of the Universe, the god and sole owner of the Planet Earth.
He learned then and there that all Moslems are upon the same equality. He could see that they were brothers and at home anywhere in the Moslem world. He tried to give an account of the gala event but his envy overcame him and we find a diluted article in the Catholic World (vol. 136, p. 559) which he wrote. But by reading between lines and magnifying details we arrive at some conception of the truth.
Christian Names Quickly Abolished
He was to receive another shock. The next day the six Black Moslems from the United States appeared before the Governor and were received as brothers by him. They had their names officially recorded as changed from Christian ones to Moslem names. And whilst in the presence of the Governor they made their report. The first part dealt with the rapid spread of Islam in America. They told of the large numbers of Black Americans who were beginning to see the light. They told of the activity of Moslems in Detroit, Chicago, and other big cities. Their Egyptian brothers went wild with excitement and their joy was beyond expression. But the next part of their report was not so cheerful.
White Christians Exposed
We know that his surprise turned to fear when the six Moslems from America began to relate the kind of treatment that is dealt to us by the devil. They told how the Christian beasts hunger and thirst after the righteous blood of the Blacks. They told about how the devils will leave church to burn some poor Black upon the public square. They told how the white Christians rape Black women. They told all about the cruel and inhuman deeds of the devil.
Upon hearing of these things their brother Egyptians were very, very angry and they made a most solemn pledge to help their brothers in America. Ask some Moslem about it.
Crabites was very much alarmed over the whole matter and the purpose of his article was to let the devils in America know that a new day is dawning. A day of reckoning. A day when Islam will awake every Black in America. He “shudders at the consequences” in store for America.
More Moslems To Go East
But he has not seen anything yet. He should be present when the eight Black Moslems from the United States make their report this year. They will go in pairs. Two to Yemen, two to Turkey, two to Afghanistan, and two will go to Japan. They will tell of the rapid spread of Islam in the United States during the last twelve months and will also tell in detail about the lynching, burning and raping of Blacks, which still goes on in America. And our brother Moslems in the East will be still angrier. There is a limit to all things.
________________________________________________________________________
GET YOUR REAL NAME
If you know how to read between lines, you saw in the paper (Hearst’s) an article by Brisbane, which tells you that you do not have your real name. Brisbane is white and, of course, we can expect nothing one hundred per cent from him. We have to fix his article up a little so we can get the truth.
With the addition of the word BLACK, the elimination of the word “HUNDRED” and the substitution of the word THEM for “US” and the words IN AMERICA for “ON EARTH,” we have a story that fits our case.
“A ‘Black’ girl in San Francisco… puzzles authorities because she cannot remember her name or tell whence she came. There are ‘in America’ about sixteen million like her. Not one of ‘them’ knows where he came from originally, or what his name was before he landed here. The real name of Tommy Smith is something else. He was not Tommy Smith before he landed here, and he will not be Tommy Smith after he leaves. You could hardly imagine an angel named Tommy Smith.”
Black Man Robbed of Real Name
Now we were robbed of our real names by the white man when he enslaved us. It is quite true that we had no such names as Tommy Smith when we landed here. We had righteous names, such as Mohammed, Ali, Karriem, Bey and the like. Do not these sound better to you than Brown, Catt, Hogg or Woodpecker? An angel (messenger) from Heaven (Mecca) could not have the name of Tommy Brown because anyone with a Christian name cannot get within fifty square miles of the Holy City Mecca in Arabia. Now do you see at least one reason why we must get our real names and drop our slave names?

________________________________________________________________________
O! Preachers, you foolish and blindfolded leaders — how long will you turn a deaf ear to the warning call of Allah's Messenger and set up abominations (churches) that make desolation against the Holy of Holies? Know you not, O! Preachers, that you and your people are strangers in a strange land, and have been misled by strangers (white people) and these have caused you to despise and hate your own and love the Worship of the whore (church)!
These same strangers take your own wisdom of Allah and the knowledge of his Temple which Solomon, your own Black brother Moslem, gave you as a warning. They sell it to you after diluting and changing its name from Islam, Freedom, Justice and Equality to FREE MASONRY. But it is not Free Masonry here, it is Free “Buy” Masonry. They changed the name Moslem to Mason and none must be called Moslem under the Masonic law until he pays a great sum of money for the 33rd Degree. What would the price be for the 360th Degree, which is the whole Circle!
Now Solomon, a Moslem, learned much wisdom of Islam. He is mentioned in the Holy Quran as a great Apostle of Allah. He foresaw the ignorance of his Lost Brother of Asia and wrote the following words (which are not without the white translator's poison, which he uses to suit his taste):
THE PRAYER OF SOLOMON TO ALLAH FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF HIS LOST BROTHERS AND THEIR RETURN TO ISLAM AND ASIA, THEIR LAND.
“And if, thy (our) people Israel (of Islam) be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee (because of ignorance) and shall return (to our own kind) and confess thy name (which is Allah) and pray (the Moslem’s prayer) and make supplication (earnestly confess that Islam is the right religion and that there is no God but Allah and his Prophet Fard Mohammed is his Prophet) before thee in this house (in a Temple of Islam) then hear thou from the heavens (Holy City Mecca) and forgive the sin of thy (our) people (Lost Brother of Asia in America) and bring them (from the lynchers of America) again unto the land which thon gave to them (us) and to their fathers (Asia for Asiatics). When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain (when Prophet Fard asked Allah to close up the clouds that it rain not, to convince the Lost Brother that Allah is God and he is his Prophet) because they have sinned against him (denied his warning call) and speak evil against him and his followers; yet if they pray (acknowledge the truth) toward this place (Holy City Mecca, or Temple of Islam) and confess thy name (which is Allah) and turn from their sin (from following the devil and his religion) when thou dost afflict them (when we see the devil’s religion and his Christian churches POWERLESS IN THE FACE OF THE DROUTH AND DESTRUCTION SUCH AS DISEASES, REVOLUTIONS THAT FOLLOW) then hear thou from heaven and forgive the sin of thy people, when thou hast taught them the good old way (Islam) wherein they should walk, which thou hast given unto thy people (Black man in America for a guide) for an inheritance, if there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the Cities of their land; whatsoever sore, or whatsoever sickness there be; then what prayer, or what supplication shall be made of any man, of all thy people, when everyone shall know his own sore (his own foolishness for not accepting Islam) and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house (Temple of Islam) with their faces towards the East, the Holy City Mecca: then hear thou from heaven (from the Holy City Mecca in the East, the dwelling place of Islam and the wisdom of Allah) and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart Allah knows that they (Black man in America) may fear thee and walk in thy ways (live the life of a righteous Moslem).” II Chron. 6:24 to 31.
You should not be blind to the truth when it is poured out to you before your enemies. BLESSED BE THE MAN THAT TAKES REFUGE TO ALLAH. TO HIS OWN KIND, THROUGH PROPHET FARD MOHAMMED.

A WARNING TO THE BLACK MAN OF AMERICA
CHAPTER III.
By ELIJAH MOHAMMED
Minister of Islam in North America.
THE PUBLIC may think it is rather hard to say that the PREACHERS are leading OUR PEOPLE and themselves straight to hell. But which is better, to warn them of their WRONG DIRECTION, or keep it all to myself and let them go and meet their DOOM? If I failed to warn them it would show that I have no love for my PEOPLE, whom I know are ignorant of the TRUTH and the presence of their DELIVERER. I would be worse than a devil if I failed to tell them. THEREFORE, I have put my life before the world as a SACRIFICE to make known to my people the TRUTH and the presence of their DELIVERER, whom they believe should come in the form of a spook — a lie taught them by the devil and AFFIRMED by the PREACHERS.
Saviour of Lost Sheep (Brother) Is Not a Spirit
LET us THINK for a moment, what is a SPIRIT? Can nothing do something? This word spirit comes from a Latin word spiritus, which means: COURAGE, ENERGY, the mind, the life of a person (which is made of water, gases and stone). The word spirit confuses many poor Lost BROTHERS of ASIA here in America. They take it for something invisible and different in form and actions from a real human being. It only means anything that is possessed of ACTIVE LIFE. Life is not spookish itself. A fine magnifying glass brings the very germs that make up our lives in active display in minute particles of water and gases which are called ATOMS. These are produced by the pull on the Earth of the Sun and Moon. The water is the real source of life and is put in action by the Sun and Moon. It is fed by magnetism from the Moon and is thrown in space in continuous CURRENT WAVES by the ROTATION of the Earth which make a TERRIFIC speed of 1037 and 1/3 miles per hour around the Sun. This speed is caused by the attractivity of the Sun.
Bible Condemns Spook
Just why are my people waiting for a spook to come some day and deliver them, when the BIBLE CONDEMNS such belief? It teaches that GOD is a person; one who has power and force. Jesus called him the SON of MAN. The same title is given by Prophet Ezekiel. Now if the LAST Prophet is the SON of MAN, just how did the Preachers get the idea of teaching their followers to believe in a spook!
Prophet Fard Mohammed Brings Truth
AGAIN Jesus said in these words: “When He (the last Prophet) the Spirit (active life) of TRUTH is come, He will guide you into all truth” (he will teach the truth plainly and OPENLY — not in secret or in symbolic). This is just what PROPHET FARD MOHAMMED has done and the devil is angry with him for showing him openly to the world. He has not withheld any of the TRUTH from US.
“FOR He shall not speak of HIMSELF, but WHATSOEVER He shall hear, that shall he SPEAK and He will show you things to COME.” Prophet FARD MOHAMMED came to North America teaching us of ALLAH and showing us things that will shortly come to pass upon this PRESENT WICKED GENERATION and not of himself. “He shall GLORIFY ME; (shall praise Asia, his work and courage in trying to put ISLAM in the Jews before time) for he shall receive of mine (his own Black Nation) and shall show it unto you.” (John 16:13-14.) The Prophet will tell you the truth of all things and let the Jews and all the devils see their mistakes in not receiving Islam from Jesus when he was here two thousand years ago.
Prophet Fard Mohammed Is the Comforter
The 16th Chapter of St. John shows clearly that Jesus is not prophesing of himself. In the 7th verse of the same (chapter it speaks plainly that he would go away (die and be buried); for if “I go not away the COMFORTER will not come unto you.” This verse plainly teaches that the LAST PROPHET would be a comforter to the poor depressed Lost BROTHER of Asia in America. A Comforter, to us because of our long years of wearing the YOKE of BONDAGE, SUFFERING from RAPE, LYNCHING and ROBBERS. Jesus (Assia) calls this same last Prophet MOHAMMED, and this is his NAME because his family is MOHAMMEDAN. This is found in the HOLY QURAN of Assia’s Prophecy of this last Prophet (AS SAFF) LXI 6, Ver. The 8th verse of John, 16th Chapter, says: “When He is come, He will REPROVE the world of sin, and of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and of JUDGMENT, of sin because they believe not in me.”
This is FULFILLED now 100% by Prophet FARD MOHAMMED. The devils are reproved and are angry. The PREACHERS who REPRESENT the devils are reproved and are angry and PERSECUTE the MESSENGERS of the truth because they reproved them of lying to the people, of robbing, because they sell their own people to their ENEMIES (white politicians) yearly for a few measly dollars to satisfy THEIR OWN LUST: REGARDLESS of what the ENEMY does to their FOLLOWERS after he is put in office. So long as they live and eat they care not for their people. They are REPROVED of ADULTRY because they profess to teach against such evil and at the same time are GUILTY of the same offense among their follower’s WIVES and DAUGHTERS. And they are reproved of murder because they seek to destroy the PROPHET and all MOSLEMS for teaching the people the TRUTH.

REDUCE AND BE CURED OF YOUR ALIMENTS
By Reformer Burnsteen Sharrieff
We Moslems of Detroit, and elsewhere, have learned through Prophet Fard Mohammed’s teaching, that excess weight is the cause of pains in all joints, such as rheumatism, headaches, chills, grippe, footaches, toothaches, kneeaches, backaches, etc. To avoid these things it is very essential for one to be his or her correct weight.
Now, the Moslem Girls’ Training and General Civilization Class, which is a Class set up by Prophet Fard Mohammed, for women and girls only, has a standard weight of 120 lbs. and not over. The Fruit of Islam, which is a Class exclusively for men and boys, has a standard weight of 150 lbs. and not over. You may think within yourself that this is very strict, and a matter of impossibility, but I will will show you how, and why this has a great deal to do with a person’s life and health.
Overweight Person Is Unjust
We Moslems believe in Freedom, Justice and Equality in all things regardless of whether they are great or small. Now, a person who is normal, breathes 3 cubic feet of air per hour. An abnormally fat person breathes more than the normal amount of air per hour, and this person, in other words, is robbing you of the atmosphere or air.
Just to prove to you that Prophet Fard Mohammed is right, take for instance this picture. You are sitting beside a real overweight person (fat person). Notice how fast that person breathes and you will see that he or she breathes much faster than you. Therefore, that person gets more air than you do. The rule, that the faster the fire burns the more it destroys, applies in the case above. An overweight or fat person breathes more, eats more, takes more room and in other words is a complete nuisance to the normal one.
Another picture. For instance, you, a person weighing 118 pounds, and a large sister weighing 200 pounds, have walked home from a store four blocks away. You sit down and perhaps draw a long breath and begin breathing normally again, but this sister who weighs other than herself 200 pounds, pants and pants; also at the same time robs and robs you of the fresh air. Notice a case similar to this one and see if this is not true. You become faint; the air you breathe is hot. Why? Because this 200-pound sister has robbed you of the fresh atoms from the air, thus leaving it stale and lifeless. Therefore, you have been treated unjustly by this sister who is other than herself (fat).
Prophet Fard Taught Moslems Safe Way to Reduce
We have several sisters who when they first awakened to the knowledge of themselves weighed approximately 300 pounds, and during the last year have reduced, by living according to Prophet Fard Mohammed’s teaching, approximately 132 pounds.
You may ask how did they lose weight so fast, and why did not it make them sick? As you know, eating three and four times per day makes a person gain. Therefore, to reduce, one must stop eating so often. We Moslems go some times 48, 72, 96, and more hours without food, taking a hot bath daily and plenty of exercises. This is good for us, because it helps the thinking faculties and also prolongs our lives.
Reducing by Prophet Fard Mohammed’s teaching, there is no sign left of excess weight, such as wrinkles, rings beneath the eyes, etc., and sickness, we know not of for he has taught us the way of life, health and happiness.
We Were Once All Beautiful
My dear brothers and sisters, you have not always been overweight and without shape. When we were stolen and brought over here 379 years ago into North America, and enslaved, we were not shapeless, large awkward people. We were the highly esteemed intelligent people. The ones who were known for their perfectness in all things. We had perfect forms. In other words we were beautiful Original people 100%. But how, and through whom did we become so badly disfigured and deformed?
Devil Caused Us to Be Disfigured
It was caused by the devil (white man). The one you are worshipping today as your God. Just to prove his love for us, he disfigured us from our original selves in every way imaginable. How can you love such a man as he? Awake and think my people. Did he teach our mothers of yesterday and also of today how to form and take care of their young ones? No! But he taught his own kind. He wanted, and still wants us, to this very day, to grow like a potato or something that is big and shapeless. By so doing we grew up like seed which were thrown aside that grew without any cultivation; thus, we became shapeless, large, ugly, and further from ourselves daily. But thanks be to Allah, through his Prophet Fard Mohammed, that the time has come for the Asiatics of North America to reclaim their once lost belongings. Take this in, my people, and see if this is not true of you and me today.
Next Week: “Dangerousness of Overweight”

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL VALUES OF ISLAM
By KALLATT MOHAMMED
Head Investigator.
When a person accepts Islam his entire mental outlook is changed. This change of mind naturally causes changes in his behavior. I am going to point out some of the psychological effects of the acceptance of Islam’s teachings on our people here.
White Is Evil
The very first thing that Islam does for the Original man is to teach him that the Black People are the CREAM of the Universe. That all things in existence belong to him. He learns how ignorant he was in believing that “Black is evil.” Islam teaches him that the white man is the devil and that evil comes from the devil. He is sorry for his brother who still follows the psychology of the devil, and believes that it was a misfortune for him to be born black. The Moslem knows that the Black people are the GODS and POWER in the world today.
He knows that the day of staying IGNORANT is over because Islam has taught him that the whole world is HIS home. He believes beyond all doubt that the white man’s time is out; that the Black man’s time has come. He understands that the reason the white man exercised control over him in North America was due to the fulfillment of Prophecy. And he holds his head high and beholds with pride and joy the new spirit of his Black brothers.
Does Not Fear
Islam teaches that the Moslem hast the whole Moslem World behind him, with all of its righteousness. That the cause of ALLAH will prevail. He has no doubt in his mind but that within a short time he will have Freedom, Justice and Equality. And because of the numbers of his brothers all over the world, he has lost all fear of his enemy.
Does Not Fear Death
Perhaps the most far reaching psychological effect of the Teachings of Islam is the abolishing of the belief of a Life after physical death with its terrors. The Moslem is taught truthfully and satisfactorily the things which he formerly did not understand. He found that he had been absolutely fooled about belief of a spook God, which Christianity teaches. He now believes and knows that when he dies a physical death that he will not rise. He now knows that his heaven is on Earth during his life here. During his life in North America he experienced plenty, with bullets, fire, ropes and castration from the Bible devils. Therefore he does not fear death, because death has been his constant enemy since he landed here in America in 1555.

A HAPPY MOSLEM
By JOHN MOHAMMED.
I am happy to give honor to the great Prophet Fard, knowing that I cannot thank him enough for the wonders that he has done for me and all Moslems. Before seeing him, I was blind, deaf and dumb to the Wisdom of myself; there was no place I could go and hear the true Wisdom of the black man.
We all were in such a miserable condition that we had no Wisdom of our own. We were eating and drinking that which was not good for the human family. I was one that the (devil) had completely robbed of wisdom, but not only I, but a little over 17,000,000 in the same condition. We did not have any Knowledge of our own nor anyone’s else.
Like a lion walking to and fro in a cage, seeking a way out, but the door was not found until 1930 upon the arrival of Prophet Fard. I myself was like one that was sick unto death, and in one day, all sickness vanished from me, when the Prophet began calling his Lost Found Brothers of Asia, returning the wisdom of themselves, sealing them with their own Freedom, Justice, and Equality, giving them their original names which they had been deprived of for more than 379 years.
Seeing the miserable condition of his lost brothers and sisters, how illiterate, blind, deaf and dumb, living other than themselves, therefore Prophet Fard is giving his life to deliver us from the wicked hands of our enemies.
I must say I am happy and give all honor to Prophet Fard. Seeing these happy Moslems, also being awakened to myself, I am indeed happy. They all move with speed, nothing to worry them, always happy; there is not one among us that has hard feelings towards another, but always happy to greet his brother. Moslems will show forth the Love they have for their brother even if it cost their lives.
There is not a word in the English language that I can express, large enough to honor Prophet Fard.
How happy am I, to think over the great things that were done by him. Each one has his own, for Islam is the Light of the World and W. D. FARD is our PROPHET.

Lest We Forget
In thirty years no less than ten thousand Black mother’s sons and daughters have been lynched by white Christians, in the United States of America, the land of the slaves and the home of the cowards. Our black brothers who suffered death that white Christians might be superior were supposed to be citizens of the United States. America is a Christian nation. It follows then that Christians lynched ten thousand Blacks in the short time of thirty years. We forget a lynching too quickly. This is a reminder of the minutes of agony one of our Black brothers endured while being roasted alive by white Christians.
Devils Prepare for Lynching
On Saturday, the 9th day of May, A.D. 1930, at the City of Sherman, Grayson County, Texas, United States of America, one of our brothers, by a Christian slave name George Hughes, was murdered by the white Christians of that city. The poor brother had been working for a Christian, and on the 3rd day of May, went to collect his wages then due in the sum of six dollars. The white Christian loved slavery and refused to pay our deceased brother. The devil guided by an abandoned and malignant heart hit upon the idea of getting both our brother and the debt out of existence. A few minutes after our brother had gone, the Christian had his wife shout that she had been assaulted by our brother. Immediately steps were taken to celebrate a Christian murder.
Governor Aids Lynchers
The Christians set May 9th as the date of “the Trial.” Came May 9th, the Texas Rangers and the whole city to the courthouse. The devil’s wife was brought into the courthouse on a stretcher. The American flag was torn from the walls of the courtroom. A white woman assumed leadership of the city when the men did not act fast enough. Governor Moody was wired of the celebration that was about to take place over innocent blood. This is what he said he did: “I ordered reinforcements to get to the spot and gave the commanding officer the order to hold the black man, but not to shoot one white man.” This is the protection that the Governor of the State of Texas gave our poor brother about to be lynched by Christians.
Courthouse Burned Down
The devils then placed our brother in a fireproof vault and burned down the courthouse. They opened the vault and took out the roasted body. Your blood should be boiling right now!
Police Officers Direct Lynch Traffic
The devils took the body and marched to the section of the city where the Blacks lived. Police officers directed traffic while the whole town marched. The Christians of Sherman then burned up everything the Blacks had (except the churches) and then ran the Blacks into the woods, where they were forced to remain two days. This being done they burned the roasted body. Then they staged a parade and marched to the time of “Happy Days Are Here Again.” Brother, how can you love the devil?
Federal Government Has Not Acted
The responsibility of this lynching as well as of hers falls ultimately upon the shoulders of the Federal government. The government knows exactly what happens to the Blacks here. But the Federal government does not care. To show you that it does not have any respect for the personality of the Black man, the government “Jim Crowed” the Black Gold Star Mothers. And I say that any government that would so humiliate the mothers of men who died fighting that the government might survive is capable of doing terrible deeds to the Blacks.
Ten thousand Black mothers’ cries could not be heard by the Federal government but the faint cry of one white mother over the kidnapping of her son was instantly heard by the Federal government and drastic laws on the subject of kidnapping were immediately passed. Black brothers, why do you not wake up? White Christians do not give a damn about Black Christians.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. (Bill Jones) “My brother Ali, I heard that you have got a new Religion!”
A. (James Ali) “No. I have not got a new religion. Islam is as old as Humanity itself, or to make it clear it is as old as the Sun, Moon and Stars which belong to us.”
Q. (Bill Jones) “Brother, are you not wrong? I though Christianity was the oldest Religion.”
A. (James Ali) “I am right and know it, and can prove it. That is your trouble, Mr. Jones, you all who believe in Christianity think, while the Moslem knows. Christianity is only about 552 years old. It is a religion whose followers believe in polytheism, which was originated by the devils (white race) after Mohammed drove them out of Islam for not keeping and living the life of a Moslem. The white race has not taught you anything which is right. All that was against you was taught you.”
Bill Jones: “Well, well, I will see you next week. I kind of think that you all are right after all. Look for me soon.”

A WARNING TO THE BLACK MAN OF AMERICA
AND HE SAID UNTO ME (PROPHET FARD) SON OF MAN, I send thee to the children of Israel (Asiatics in America) to a rebellious Nation that hath rebelled against me (ALLAH), for they are impudent children and stiff-hearted. I do send thee unto them (Black man) and thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord (ALLAH) whether they will hear or not for they are a rebellious house (ignorant people) yet shall they KNOW that there hath been a PROPHET among them. (Ezekiel 2:3-4-5.)
Black preachers have been for years teaching their followers to believe that the Dry Bones spoken of by Prophet Ezekiel are REAL, when Ezekiel says, himself, that he saw the Dry Bones in a vision. This prophecy is of none other than the Black man in America in his dumbest stage. When he has become so dumb and ignorant of himself that he even has lost all hopes of ever being worthwhile; regardless of what anybody says or teaches him. This is his condition at the present time, so Ezekiel calls them Dry Bones, which means that as a dry bone is without flesh so is the American Black man without wisdom.

DRY BONES
Ezekiel 37:
1. The hand of the lord (the power and strength of all the Asiatic world is behind Prophet Fard Mohammed to bring the lost brother home again) was upon me, and carried me out (from Asia) in the spirit (in active life) of the lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of dry bones (Prophet Fard Mohammed came from Asia to America and stopped in Chicago, about the midst of the Country and began to teach, and prophecy, to the dry bones) (seventeen million black lost brothers).
2. And caused me (him) to pass by them round about; and behold, there were many (17,000,000) in the open valley (in America); and Lo, they were very dry (were very ignorant). Prophet Fard Mohammed has been traveling from one city to another here in America since July, 1930. Teaching and Prophesying to the lost brothers of Asia, that they were, made ignorant of themselves by the devil (American whites) for a period of 379 years and that the time of the white race is come to an End, and he was come to deliver them from this hell and make them wise unto everything, that the like of them will not be equaled, nor found in all the Earth. Moreover, he said to us that the Nations will admire you for the Wisdom that he shall teach you, and acknowledge you in all the Earth, because a very grievous destruction is coming upon this Country in 1934 for the wickedness of this government against the poor lost brothers of Asia here. Today, we know his word is true, because they are beginning to come upon us. First, with a drouth, and now a food shortage is inevitable.
3. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? (every Asiatic that tried to teach the American black man before Prophet Fard Mohammed, had met with disastrous opposition from black preachers, who work in favour of the white man, in enslaving his own people. Therefore, it was told him (the Prophet) could the American black man be awakened to the knowledge of himself and his kind? Even some of the whites here in Detroit criticised Prophet Fard Mohammed in coming here to teach us our own and said he could not put pants on an elephant, meaning we are too dumb to take wisdom of our own, and “this is true of some.” Last week one poor lost brother here told a Moslem he had rather he dead than to live under the black man’s government. This kind of dumbness makes the white man laugh and feel satisfied that such a man will always be his slave.
4. Again he said unto me, Prophesy (warn the black man that the end is come, and he should get on to his kind (Asiatie Nation).
5. Behold, I (Islam taught by the Prophet) will cause breath to enter into you and you shall live: if the lost sheep will take the teaching of Prophet Fard Mohammed, they will live and not die in the Armageddon. Otherwise, they are lost; no hope for the American black man coming from the white man, but DEATH.
7. Ver. So I (Prophet Fard Mohammed) prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a NOISE, and behold a shaking, and the Bones (black man) came together, bone to Bone. (Black Brothers sticking together.) In 1930 Prophet Fard Mohammed, came in due time. When the Asiatic powers the world over began to seek word from the East how long shall the Beast Rule (white Supremacy) who is enslaving, lynching, burning, and shooting our lost brothers down in America. Day and night, continually, HOW LONG, shall not we rise up suddenly and avenge our people of their enemy? And the answer came to them from Prophet Fard Mohammed, saying, stay your hands, UNTIL I HAVE given the lost brothers of our Nation in North America, the KNOWLEDGE OF THEMSELVES and their ORIGINAL NAMES, which were robbed from them by the devil (white man) 379 years ago. Since 1930 the Prophet has taught here in Detroit and named about eleven thousand lost brothers and sisters of Asiatic origin. What has happened? A great SHAKING, as Ezekiel prophesied in the 7th Verse, has started. First it came from the Preachers, the devils’ representatives, such men as the Reverend Peck and FATHER DANIEL, and several others whose names are not mentioned. These, and all that make slaves out of our people by preaching them into ignorance with the doctrine of Christian Religion, should have read and understood Rev. 7:2-14-15, Vers. 2:17-27-29, but instead, these preachers delivered the Prophet and his followers up to their white god (DEVILS) and gave their voices against him, and said, away with this man and his followers who is changing our people’s names which they received from the white slave makers to some names we know not! The preachers further said to their white god that they did not want the Asiatic Holy Names, and made light of them. The Nations of all the world and even the devils, themselves acknowledged that this man, Prophet Fard Mohammed, is the Bible’s last Prophet and the seeker of the black men in America to give them back that which was stolen from them, and lead them to their original Land; but the Preachers must fulfill that which is Prophesied in Matthew 23:13-14 Verse. But WOE unto you scribes (preachers) Hypocrites! for they shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: (their ownselves and their brothers) for they neither go in themselves neither suffer you that are entering to go in, so you see who is the enemy and the worst dry bones in the valley, for the Prophet to raise.

TO THE YOUNG ASIATICS OF NORTH AMERICA
By SECRETARY JOHN MOHAMMED
Office Address: 632 Livingstone St. Detroit, Michigan.
Chapter No. 1
To the young, strong Asiatics of North America:
I wish to say to you that it is our time to Love one another as our foreparents did long ago; and are doing the same today in our own country, which is Asia.
Let us follow the good way that leads us to life and Happiness, young brothers and sisters. Let not it be with us as it was with our parents who were helpless slaves for this (white man).
Think what Islam and our Prophet Fard Mohammed has done for the many thousands of young men and women in the wilderness of North America, that are living the life of righteousness and now have the wisdom of themselves.
Truly, we did not have the Knowledge of ourselves, because there was no one to teach us of our own. Our parents could not teach us because they were made Blind, Deaf, and Dumb by their enemies, when they were babies.
Now our Prophet Fard Mohammed has made us to know the truth of ourselves, that we, the black Asiatic Nation, are the God and owner of the Planet Earth. With this great Wisdom we cannot continue to stay blind, deaf, and dumb, and let the white man keep us for a slave as he did our foreparents. Our foreparents could not help themselves because there was no righteous Teacher, but look who we have with us today, a Leader, Prophet, Scientist, and Deliverer, by the name of Prophet Fard Mohammed.
My young brothers and sisters, it is our Goal and only chance. Look how badly fooled we were, the devil had us calling ourselves African Negroes and names I will not express.
The truth is here, awake O my young brothers and sisters, and let us get closer to one another and be as one, because the earth belongs to the black Nation!
Let us follow our own Prophet who came from our own home and knows our conditions. Let us take the chance that our foreparents have long waited and wished to see, but the Blessing came in our day.
DO NOT MISS CHAPTER No. 2!

EDITORIAL
The writer of this column will introduce himself to you and tell how he came to know Islam.
He was reared in Greenville, Texas. He graduated from high school there in 1918, in 1923 he received his B.A. degree from Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn. He taught school for four years - immediately thereafter, being professor of Chemistry and Physics at Texas College (three years) and at Prairie View State College (one year). During the summer months of his teaching career he did post-graduate work in Organic Chemistry at the University of Chicago. In 1929 he received his J.D. degree from Northwestern University Law School (Chicago, Ill.). In the same year he was admitted to the Bar of the State of Michigan. He is a member of the Detroit Bar Association, Wolverine Bar Association and Omega Psi Phi fraternity. His slave name was John Bob Morris.
Educated But is Ignorant of Himself
He counts as naught all the schools mentioned in the above paragraph because they did not teach him of his own (Islam). He now sees that he wasted time and money learning about the white man’s civilization. He remained ignorant of himself until last year when, for the first time he had a conversation with a Moslem.
In the course of the conversation the Moslem told him that all Asia and especially Japan was behind the Moslems. This was the best news he had ever heard in his life. He did not waste any time arguing about a spook. What interested him was that at last the black man in America could get powerful backing.
He thereafter became a constant visitor of the Temple of Islam. After he had heard from the minister of the power and virtue of Islam he sought to find out how it worked.
Papers and Preachers Wrong About Moslems
He, therefore, visited homes of Moslems and became acquainted with them and their ways. He found that what the papers and the preachers were saying about the Moslems were just plain lies. He saw the cleanest homes he had ever been in. He discovered an air of complete harmony therein. For the first time he saw real brotherly love evidenced. He has yet to hear a Moslem speak a cross word to another Moslem. But the most pleasant phase of Moslem hospitality was the dinner hour. The delicious food set before him was the most palatable he had ever eaten. In short he found the Moslems living a righteous life.
By this time he was convinced that Islam was right. (He had already been convinced that Christianity was wrong — his scientific training exploded the spook myth) and he wholeheartedly, absolutely and irrevocably accepted Islam.
He wants you to know that he has been most happy since he had his eyes opened. He has never gotten along better in his life. He is now urging you to follow his example because he knows Islam is right.

THE DANGEROUSNESS OF OVERWEIGHT
By REFORMER BURNSTEEN SHARRIEFF.
The problem of overweight is studied in the Moslem Girls’ Training and General Civilization Class, which is, as I told you last week, a class set up by Prophet Fard Mohammed. We learned that most of the bodily ailments are directly or indirectly traceable to overweight. It is no exaggeration to say that the fat die young. You seldom see a fat person over 60 years old. We should seriously consider the subject of overweight, if we wish to live happy and useful lives.
An excess of fat causes the individual to become INACTIVE. And that inactivity causes in turn a multitude of evils. As you have noticed, the fat woman is usually inclined to be lazy. She likes to sit and take things easy. She does not like activity and because she is not active, she gets fatter. And the fatter she gets the less inclined she is to be active. She soon finds herself in a vicious circle — she gets fatter and fatter and at the same time becomes lazier and lazier.
Dangers of Inactivity
A direct result of this inactivity is CONSTIPATION, because a certain amount of exercise is necessary for the normal functioning of the organs of elimination. Constipation causes “auto-intoxication” or self-poisoning. This results from the accumulation of decayed matter in the large intestine. This poison is absorbed by the blood stream and carried to all parts of the body, producing headaches, bad breath, sluggishness and skin deformities, such a blotches, pimples and even the appearance of premature old age.
Now this same inactivity is a predisposing cause of diabetes, a disease characterized by inability of the body to utilize sugar. It is a known fact that nine out of every ten people who develop diabetes are overweight. During exercise the muscles burn up large amounts of sugar. The fat sister does not exercise her muscles enough and hence an excess amount of sugar is accumulated in her body. Moreover, she dearly loves her sweets and almost always overeats. Thus, she takes in more sugar than her body needs or rather more than she will allow her muscles to use. And she then lays the foundation for the dreaded disease. Diabetes is incurable and kills as certainly and as surely as cancer or Bright’s disease. Sister, quit digging your grave with your knife and fork!
Overweight Develops Heart Trouble
But the overweight are quite likely to develop heart trouble. My dear fat sister, do you have a shortness of breath and a palpitation of the heart? If you do, you may have what is known as fatty heart. It means that the normal action of the muscles of your heart is being embarrassed by the presence of fatty tissue. You should not impose upon your heart because it has a pretty big job to perform anyway; remember, it must beat continuously from the moment of birth to the end. Then why do you burden it with unnecessary fat?
Do you have terrible headaches and dizzy spells? If you do you may suspect HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, a condition caused by over eating of foods rich in proteins, such as fresh meats and eggs. When you develop high blood pressure you may be sure that you have just about eaten yourself to death. You must pay the supreme penalty for living other than yourself.
There are many other diseases, for instance, cancer and Bright’s disease, which seem to follow the overweight and eventually overtake them. Of course, you know that the fat person does not have such a good chance of recovering from pneumonia. Also in passing, it may be well to drop the hint that the overweight sister loses the right and privilege of motherhood at a much younger age than her more slender friend.
In closing it should be said that the overweight person is not only physically inactive but also mentally slow. The Moslem knows that the fat person is the good natured individual who does not care to be disturbed. She does not care to exercise her mental faculties. She would rather sleep. Her whole system is poisoned and her brain cells cannot function properly. Islam does not tolerate anything that destroys the health or impairs the intellect. Therefore, Moslems watch the scales.

BLACK MAN FATHER OF ALL HUMANITY
By LONNIE PASHA.
According to the teaching of Prophet Fard Mohammed, the original black man has no birth record. He has been on Earth trillions of years. He has no beginning nor ending. But the Caucasian (white) race started in the year 8,400 when Mr. Yacob formed the idea in his mind of how to take an original man and woman and graft a white (devil) to torment the original Nation. He is known in the Bible as John the Revelator.
In order to carry out the experiment, Mr. Yacob, together with 59,991 others were exiled on the Isle of Pelan (Biblical name Patmos, Rev. 1:9). When these words were spoken in Genesis 1:26, “And god said let us make man in our own image, after our likeness,” it was Mr. Yacob teaching his exiled followers.
White Man Grafted
The first white persons so grafted as a result of the experimental work of Mr. Yacob were Adam and Eve — just 6,020 years ago. Thus you see that although Adam and Eve were the first white persons they were not the first people on Earth.
But Mr. Yacob repented that he ever made man (devil) as is stated in Genesis 6:6, “And it repented the Lord that he had made man (devil) on the Earth and it grieved him at his heart.” We are told by Prophet Fard, that in the year 8,400 B.C., 5,000,000,000 original people inhabited the Planet Earth. The population declined 200,000,000 from 8,400 B.C. to 1934 A.D. The population of the world today is 4,800,000,000 people. The devil is responsible for this declination with his wars and rumors of wars, brutality, lynchings and burnings.
We ask all of our brothers and sisters to accept the teaching of Prophet Fard and live here on Earth in harmony and happiness. For the Prophet does declare that this is the end of the devil’s civilization and the devil’s oppression of the original black people. All praise is due to our Prophet W. D. Fard Mohammed; it was he who taught us how to love one another.

WAKE UP!
By DOROTHY LEWIS.
My people, wake up and flee from Christendom. Can’t you see that the bottom has fallen out of Christianity? Hear and run for your lives because Christianity has come to an end. Do you not know that Christianity is one of the white man’s best plans for keeping us under him?
Peace, comfort and blessings, so much desired by the Black man in America can never come from the unrighteous system of Christianity. You no longer have a right to give support to such a hypocritical religion in this time of depression and famine. The Prophet bids the people to abandon and forever forsake Christendom and give their hearts wholly to ALLAH. If you will do this you will then receive full freedom and the blessings that are in store for you. Come over here where the table is spread and the feast of ALLAH is going on.
My people, heed this warning, stand up and know who you are. Depart from Christendom and be no more entangled with that yoke of bondage. Because Christianity is a fake and the devil is a snake. Beware of his plans. Arise and awaken for the wrath of ALLAH, is being poured out on the children of disobedience.
Give Back Christianity to the White Man
Often have I heard this song sung: “There is Somebody Wrong About the Bible I Believe.” This was true but we were unable to understand it until our Saviour, Master W. D. Fard, came and opened our brain cells and started our thinking faculties working. Who was it wrong about the Bible? We were. Because we thought that it was our Bible, but the white man KNEW that it was “his,” because he had translated it 72 times. He did this so that he could keep us under him and in fear of a spook-God. But today our eyes have been opened by our Saviour and we are giving the white man back his Christianity for we no more will serve a spook-God. We now know who the God is, and who the owner of the Planet Earth is. We have our Bible, which is the Holy Quran, the Black man’s Bible — the real and only true Bible in the Universe. We find in this book that we do not have to die to go to hell because we are already in hell. Neither do we have to die to go to heaven, for we have heaven in the Holy City; not up in the sky.
Many wonderful things we have learned about ourselves. One of the greatest things we learned was who the white man is and who we are. As a result we are no more led astray into different denominations of Christianity, which is one of the devil’s strongest and most powerful plans of “trick-nowledgy” he had to use on the black man.
Invisible God Did Not Answer Prayers
All of your days you have been moaning, groaning and praying to an unseen or invisible god. The question is asked today: What have you received from this god? The answer is nothing. You are in the same condition you were in 15 or 20 years ago. But you are still praying for that god to have mercy on you. My people, wake up! For the time has come that the son of man would come from the East is here. He is opening the eyes of the blind, healing the sick and raising the mentally dead. He is our Prophet W. D. Fard.
Now, careless people, heed this warning, for the end is come. It will he sad to face the Master when you know your work is not right.
A Merciless God
If this god that you have been calling yourselves serving has been so merciful, why did he let your mothers die when you were babies, knowing, that you could not be properly cared for? Why does he cause innocent men to serve the penalties for crimes they did not commit? Why does this god you serve let you and your children go hungry and naked?
Oh, my people, I mean the Asiatic black Nation, the only Nation of the Universe, wake up! Accept your own, Islam, and lead the righteous life of a Moslem, so that you may be able to enter the gates of the Holy City, Mecca, in Arabia. Let your eyes be opened and your ears unstopped — see who you are and hear the truth that has been brought by the Prophet, Master W. D. Fard.
For he is the one that was predicted to come,
To open the eyes of the blind;
And if you will only accept your own,
He will open yours like he did mine.
________________________________________________________________________
OUR MASTER
Master W. D. Fard
Master W. D. Fard
Is the only one I can see
To come and bring to us the Truth,
And save both you and me.
No man ever under the sun
Was ever predicted to be,
To bring to us the Holy Quran
And take us across the sea.
He is the Saviour of the world,
No other one to come —
We are waiting for that day
He’ll take us all back home.
The Master is all this world to me;
I have found no better friend.
Oh, how dearly, dearly we love to see
The time nearly to an end.
Justice we have never had
Till Master Fard came;
Oh, how it makes a Moslem mad
To be called that old slave name.
Oh! how I love thee, Master;
My love I can’t express,
I’ll live the life of a Moslem,
Waiting for that blessed best.
The Master taught us not to fear
Whatever the devil should say
We are the supreme beings of Planet Earth
And we are here to stay.
The Master taught us who we are
And what our name should be;
He taught us who the white man is,
What he did to you and me.
He taught us what’s up above,
Up in the starry sky;
Our blessings we will get right here —
Not wait until we die.
Islam is our motto
And true to it I’ll be.
Oh! Master W. D. Fard,
Help me to cling to thee.
The above is from a Sister just awakened to herself and who has not yet received her original name.

HEALTH THROUGH PROPER LIVING
By WALI MOHAMMED.
It has been said that “Bread is the staff of life.” This is an old adage, and generally true, but it does not entirely follow that the average bread we daily see is the staff of life. But, on the contrary, certain breads are anything but wholesome.
Why White Bread is Popular in U. S. A.
When the New England settlers came to this country they are alleged to have founded a theory of white supremacy. Thus the average food, to be popular, had to be white in color. Thus white flour, meal, pearly barley, hominy grits, rice, white potatoes, white sugar, lard, salt pork, etc., were the popular foods. Boston baked beans and white cabbage also were often eaten, the latter two being the most wholesome.
Thus we shall proceed to mention the eating of bread. In the first place, white bread is a constipating substance, consisting principally of albumin and starch, both elements of which are harmful to the physical body when eaten often.
Constipation is both the mother and father of practically every disease known to mankind. The very first thing a doctor inquires of is the regularity of elimination. Constipation leads to chronic constipation, and during its several stages all kinds of diseases take hold on a person.
White Flour is of Poor Quality
White flour is flour that is robbed of its best and essential parts, and there is only left the starchy kernel of the grain. Oftimes even that is burned up by hot steel cutters before it is placed into sacks and thus rendered dead and devoid of all nourishment.
Indeed, in some places wheat does not mature as quickly as it does in other places, and is cut green and dried artificially. This tends to detract from the strength of the natural grain. There are mills that have large kilns that bake the substances out of the grain, and after grinding the flour is so hot that it would burn one’s hand to handle it.
There was once a time when weevils were sometimes seen in the grocer’s flour barrel. Nowadays they are seldom to be found those insects because of the low food value of the denatured product. Why should an intelligent person eat what an insect would not eat?
In the production of white flour the grain is robbed of its outside covering, known as bran. Bran is chiefly a cellulose substance accompanying all grains or cereals. Its office is to mix itself with the rest of the grain when eaten, and it creates a slipperiness when mixed with saliva and other digestive juices. It also has power, when eaten together with the rest of the grain, to swell the whole mass, thus producing muscular exercise for the muscles of the stomach and intestines. Not only does the cellulose swell the whole mass, but the inflation and slipperiness together pushes out the fetal matter promptly and the system is left clean and sweet. This same wheat cellulose serves to clear the intestines of all waste matter.
In these articles the author intends to instruct none other than the black man of North America, who might be seeking wisdom from Prophet Fard Mohammed. More light on the subject next week.

DEVIL’S CIVILIZATION YOUNG
By OCIER ZARRIEFF
When looking at my people, I oftimes think of “Little Boy Blue” under the haystack fast asleep. That’s really our condition. We think the white man (devil) is and has always been civilized. This is far from true. Let us consult their well read histories of America and of Europe.
We find that the first telephone was known to the white man in 1861. But, my friends, this is not the beginning of distant communication. Your brother, Assia, whom you call Jesus, was able to receive messages from long distances without wires. How do you think he knew just when to run when he was dodging about in Herod’s Government? Every Asiatic Scientist, or one Moslem out of every hundred is equipped with Wisdom in his head and he can receive messages anywhere on the Planet Earth. In fact, the radio, telephone, as well as all known inventions, came from the Original man’s head, which first appeared as a thought.
The date of the white man’s first modern needle is 1545. If that is the first known sewing needle, he has but a few days ago learned how to wear clothes. In other words, 1545 from 1934 leaves 389, which means he was almost naked a few days ago. It is called Nudist today.
Think of this, he had just learned that a horse could be used to draw coaches in 1569, only 365 years ago. He discovered this in England. But this damnable American chose to use you and me to draw every damn thing, water wagon, log of wood and even the plow. And at the same time we had to furnish the best thought and execute it.
The devil did not learn how to publish the news of the day until 1562, just 372 years ago. This was discovered in Europe, not America.
There is no foundation for the belief that this is an old civilization. I shall tell you more about his beginning at some future time. But I must say in closing, that it was only yesterday that they had sense enough to do anything worthwhile. Wake up. Black man.
Christian Church Greatest Champion of Segregation
The white man gave you Christianity and taught you about churches. And I say that of all the damnable species of segregation found in the hell of North America, the Christian church is the worst. There is not a church a Black man can go in and worship Christianity in which the white man worships. There are white cafes in which Black men can eat under certain conditions, baseball parks can be attended by the Blacks under certain circumstances but the white church never! Next to the church in fixity of segregation policy is the white cemetery. How can you believe in Christianity when the white man who invented it for you will not allow you in his churches to worship with him, whilst we are living, or allow your bodies in his cemetery after you are dead? And by the way, if the white man stands in with God well enough to get away with these things here on earth, what guarantee have you that he will not get away with it in that heaven he pictured to you? Brother, do you not see the point?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. (Bill Jones) Well, how are you, Mr. Ali? You know, Mr. Ali, I have been thinking about you.
A. (James Ali) I am always thinking about you and the whole 17,000,000 original people here in HELL, dead to the Knowledge of themselves.
Q. (Bill Jones) Now, boy, you are talking sense. This sure is hell in this country, but “listen, is it true that Moslems do not believe that there is a heaven up above the sun, moon and Stars!”
A. (James Ali) Why, NO; there is NOT a civilized man that does believe such LIE, where can a man go but right here on this old earth? Do not you know that you can not live on any Planet but the one you are on, even after you die, your last breath you breathe does not go any further than this Earth or Sphere.
Q. (Bill Jones) Well, that sounds right but, I am going to ask Rev. Jackson about it. Somebody has lied about this heaven stuff.
