Once you are sincere in your fast, you have a sensitivity to the hurt and pain of others who are poor, who are not eating well, who are in areas where there is drought and other calamities.

In closing, the greatest threat to peace on this earth is the arrogance of a super-power [America] that is out of control.

The enemy has always been able to point the finger of suspicion and/or guilt to Black leaders that they are enriching themselves at the expense of the people.

History is our guide, and without a knowledge of history, we are lost!

There never has been a desire on the part of the government that the struggle of Black people in America should be linked to the struggle of our people in every part of the earth. Every leader that was international in scope and in reach became the target of the government - Paul Robeson, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. DuBois, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Kwame Ture and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Any Black leader who would try to connect us to our brothers and sisters in Africa and Asia were seen as a threat and became a target.

My heart is bursting at the thought of Al-Mahdi coming to set up a universal government of peace.

If we can reform the man and make him a better man and a God-fearing man, then we have a chance, we believe, to build a better world.
