Anytime you turn on your own concept of God, you are no longer a free man. No one needs to put chains on your body, because the chains are on your mind.

This kind of collective society - giving to each according to his need - existed in Africa not only before Karl Marx, but also before Europe.

To make one people better than the other would be ungodly in the first place.

The role of religions in the domination and destruction of African civilizations was ruthless... Islam was as guilty as all the rest.

No more religion anymore. No more who's a Moslem and who's a Protestant.

People get overwhelmed with folklore as fact. Take the Exodus. The Exodus did not occur. It could not have occurred. Wasn't necessary for it to occur. The Jews walked into Africa over a 16-mile land until they built the Suez Canal - that land is still there. Why would they have to leave by the sea. They didn't come by the sea. Certain people think you are against their religion when you use common sense.
