Hate Teachings

T h e origin of hate teachings comes from the devil, w h o is the originator of hate. T h e first we r e a d of a n y t h i n g l i k e h a t e t e a c h i n g s w a s from G o d , a n d it w a s between Isaiah and Jacob (Bible, G e n . ) .

B u t , the o r i g i n of that w a s b e t w e e n A d a m ' s two sons (the d e v i l ) , w h e r e the m u r d e r took p l a c e ; due to the h a t r e d of one brother against the other. O n e b r o t h er desired to k i l l the other b r o t h e r so that G o d w o u l d not t a k e h i m for a n obj e c t of love.

T h i s is the s a m e thing that is going o n today. E n v y a n d j e a l o u s y of G o d ' s L o v e a n d B l e s s i n g s for the R i g h t e o u s .

S o m u c h so, that the w i c k e d hopes to k i l l the R i g h t e o u s . H a t e , surely d e m a n d s of sin. T h e d e v i l hates T r u t h , b e c a u s e he

A c t u a l l y , they were m a d e to h a t e T r u t h , though they k n o w T r u t h ; but their a c t u a l nature w a s not m a d e of T r u t h .

T h i s is the q u e s t i o n a s k e d m o s t f r e q u e n t ly by both the w h i t e s a n d the b l a c k s . T h e a n s w e r s to this q u e s t i o n I s h a l l s t a t e a s s i m p l y as p o s s i b l e .

1. We w a n t f r e e d o m . We w a n t a full a n d complete freedom.

2 . We w a n t j u s t i c e . E q u a l j u s t i c e u n d e r the l a w . We w a n t j u s t i c e a p p l i e d e q u a l l y to all, r e g a r d l e s s of c r e e d or c l a s s or c o l o r .

3. We w a n t e q u a l i t y of o p p o r t u n i t y . We w a n t e q u a l m e m b e r s h i p in s o c i e t y w i t h the best i n c i v i l i z e d s o c i e t y .

4 . Wre w a n t our people in A m e r i c a w h o s e p a r e n t s or g r a n d p a r e n t s w e r e d e s c e n d a n t s f r o m s l a v e s , to be a l l o w e d to e s t a b l i s h a s e p a r a t e s t a t e or t e r r i t o r y of t h e i r o w n — e i t h e r on this c o n t i n e n t or e l s e w h e r e . We b e l i e v e t h a t our f o r m e r s l a v e m a s t e r s a r e o b l i g a t e d to p r o v i d e s u c h l a n d a n d t h a t the a r e a m u s t be fertile a n d m i n e r a l l y r i c h . We b e l i e v e that our f o r m e r s l a v e m a s t e r s a r e obligated to m a i n tain a n d s u p p l y our n e e d s in this s e p a r a t e t e r r i t o r y for the n e x t 2 0 to 2 5 y e a r s — u n t i l we a r e a b l e to p r o d u c e a n d s u p p l y our own needs.

Since w e cannot v e t along with t h e m i n peace a n d equality, after giving t h e m 400 years o f our sweat and blood and receiving i n return some of t h eworst treatment h u m a n beings have ever experienced, w e believe our contributions to this land a n dt h e suffering forced upon u s b y white America, justifies our demand f o r complete separation i n a state o r territory o f our own.

5. W e w a n t f r e e d o m f o r a l l B e l i e v e r s o f Islam now held i n federal prisons. W e want f r e e d o m f o r a l lblack m e n a n d w o m e n n o w under death sentence i ninnumerable prisons in the N o r t h a s w e l l a s the S o u t h .

W e want every black m a n and w o m a n to h a v e t h ef r e e d o m t o a c c e p t o r reject being s e p a r a t e d f r o m t h es l a v e m a s t e r ' s c h i l d r e n and establish a land o f their own.

We know t h a t the a b o v e p l a n for the s o l u tion of the b l a c k a n d w h i t e c o n f l i c t is the best a n d only a n s w e r to the p r o b l e m b e t w e e n two people.

6 W e want a n immediate end t o the p o lice b r u t a l i t y a n d m o b a t t a c k s a g a i n s t t h e socalled N e g r o throughout the United States.

W e believe that the F e d e r a l government should intercede t o see that black m e n a n d w o m e n t r i e d i nw h i t e c o u r t s r e c e i v e j u s t i c e i n accordance with t h e laws o f t h e land—or allow u sto build a new nation f o r ourselves, dedicated t o justice, freedom and liberty.

7. A s l o n g a s w e a r e n o t a l l o w e d t o e s tablish a state o r territory o f our own, w e demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States, b u t equal employment opportunities—NOW! W e d o not believe t h a t after 400 y e a r s o f free o r n e a r l y free labor, sweat a n d blood, w h i c h h a sh e l p e d A m e r i c a b e c o m e r i c h a n d powerful, that so m a n y thousands o f black people should have t o subsist 09relief, char ity o r live i npoor houses.

8. W e 1 w a n t t h e g o v e r n m e n t o t t h e U n i t e d States t o exempt our people f r o m A L L taxa l i o n a.s l o n g l i s w e a r e d e p r i v e d o f e q u a l j u s l i c e u n d e r t h e l a w s o f the- l a n d .

9. W e w a n t e q u a l e d u c a t i o n but separate s c h o o l s u p t o 1 6 f o r b o y s a n d 18 f o r g i r l s o n the condition that t h egirls be sent t o w o r n en's colleges a n duniversities. W e want a l l black children educated, taught a n dtrained by their o w n teachers.

Under such schooling system w e believe we will m a k e a better nation o l people. T h e United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools a n dcollege buildings. T h e M u s l i m t e a c h e r s s h a l l b e left free t o l e a c h a n d t r a i n their people i n the w a y o f righteousness de rency and self respect.

HI. W e belie-, that intermarriage o r race mixing should be prohibited. W e want the r e ligion of I s l a m taught without hinderance o r suppression.

These a r e some of t h e things that w e , t h e M u s l i m s w a n t f o r o u rp e o p l e i n N o r t h America.
