What the Muslims Want
This is the question asked most frequently by both whites and blacks.
The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible.
1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom.
2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed, class or color.
3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society.
4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents are descendents from slaves to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own, either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 or 25 years, until we are able to produce and supply our own needs.
Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worse treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white America justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own.
5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all Black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South.
We want every Black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave-masters children and establish a land of their own.
We know that the above plan for the situation of the Black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.
6. We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the so-called Negro throughout the United States.
We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that Black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land, or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom, and liberty.
7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or territory of our own, we demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States, but equal employment opportunities-NOW!
We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, swear and blood, which helped America become rich and powerful, so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief or charity or live in poor houses.
8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from ALL taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land.
9. We want equal education, but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to womens colleges and universities. We want all Black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers.
Under such a schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide free all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect.
10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion of Islam taught without hindrance or suppression.
These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

I'm done talking with you because you obviously don't understand the Qur'an or the teachings to say some ignorant stuff like that.smh. Also regardless if you are Black or not is not the issue. I know an opportunist when I read one. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad was more righteous than any man ever in Islam and got people of pork and not being a hypocrite and selling it. The arab world bows to the whiteman and not Allah. What about prophet muhammad's 9-11 wives? study.

@justalittlebiased Elijah was not a prophet he was not even a Muslim or any type of righteous man. Why id Elijah claim Black people came from the moon? Who said I am Black?

@ShiningBlackPrince The Holy Qur'an says that a prophet of Allah can have 9 wives, get out of spook land and keep thinking that Jesus is going come floating out the sky with the Mahdi in the last days, How many baby mommas you got? You don't say anything about your Arab "True Islam" Masters putting all kind of bastard children in your own neighborhood. Just keep it real, you want to be white and always subject to someone, you can't help it, it's just the negro in you. keep following a dead man!

The Holy Qur'an says on that day they will judge the guilty blue eyed one and yall spooky muslims waiting on a dead jesus to return like the christians and worship Malcolm because of your weakness to come down on the same hypocrites who sell pork in every store in the Black community. Not to mention fornicating with all the Black women and selling tobacco and alcohol. I can post over 1,000 videos by "True Islam" on youtube showing the utter hypocrisy, white mans lawyer! smh

@justalittlebiased Malcolm only made Hajj in 1964 there is no significance in going to Makkah and not making Hajj. Elijh Muhammad did not practice Islam nor did he introduce anyone to it he made up his own religion and stole the name "Islam" in order to dupe ignorant Blacks out of their cash. We do not need the White man to pick our heroes and we do not need evil men like Elijah Muhammad to kill them either.

What educational system have we been in other than the educational system of the devil? I wonder why it took Malcolm 5 years to "find" "True Islam" after it is public record he went to Mecca FIRST in 1959 but waited until 1964 when he tried to undermine the very man who introduced him to Islam, cleaned him up and gave him permission by Allah's permission to rise to world fame. We need the whiteman to pick our heroes now and that is utterly pathetic. Allahu Akbar!!!
