MALCOLM X: I Have No Fear Whatsoever of Anybody or Anything

The Complete Malcolm X on DVD: http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/

Malcolm X explains why he was forced out of the Nation of Islam and that he has a rifle for protection. After he left the Nation and made the pilgrimage to Mecca, he wrote in a letter:

"Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors.

"I have been blessed to visit the Holy City of Mecca, I have made my seven circuits around the Ka'ba, led by a young Mutawaf named Muhammad, I drank water from the well of the Zam Zam. I ran seven times back and forth between the hills of Mt. Al-Safa and Al Marwah. I have prayed in the ancient city of Mina, and I have prayed on Mt. Arafat."

"There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blondes to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white."

"America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered white - but the white attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their color."

"You may be shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to rearrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth."

"During the past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept on the same rug - while praying to the same God - with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. And in the words and in the deeds of the white Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana."

"We were truly all the same (brothers) - because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior, and the white from their attitude."

"I could see from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man - and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their 'differences' in color."

"With racism plaguing America like an incurable cancer, the so-called 'Christian' white American heart should be more receptive to a proven solution to such a destructive problem. Perhaps it could be in time to save America from imminent disaster - the same destruction brought upon Germany by racism that eventually destroyed the Germans themselves."

"Each hour here in the Holy Land enables me to have greater spiritual insights into what is happening in America between black and white. The American Negro never can be blamed for his racial animosities - he is only reacting to four hundred years of the conscious racism of the American whites. But as racism leads America up the suicide path, I do believe, from the experiences that I have had with them, that the whites of the younger generation, in the colleges and universities, will see the handwriting on the walls and many of them will turn to the spiritual path of truth - the only way left to America to ward off the disaster that racism inevitably must lead to."

"Never have I been so highly honored. Never have I been made to feel more humble and unworthy. Who would believe the blessings that have been heaped upon an American Negro? A few nights ago, a man who would be called in America a white man, a United Nations diplomat, an ambassador, a companion of kings, gave me his hotel suite, his bed. Never would I have even thought of dreaming that I would ever be a recipient of such honors - honors that in America would be bestowed upon a King - not a Negro."

"All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the Worlds.

Sincerely,

Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X)

Smarter than MLK Jr., after he stopped letting the Nation of Islam brainwash him.

@George6360 Religion is a derivative of spirituality so of course there will be some similiarities between the two. However, religion has caused a lot of division, confusion, and control within the human family. People have been enslaved, raped, and pillaged in the name of religion.

[AkilB7]

@apmirkin First off there is only one race and that is the human race. So stop with the "this race" and "that race" crap. It is a known fact that the concept of 'race' is a false construct created by Europeans. Oh and there is no such people who are "black" either. The largest group of people on the planet are those of the darker hue. The people classified as "white" are the real minority. Study and come with facts and not opinions and empty rhetoric.

[apmirkin]

@AkilB7 No, I'm not making hit up. Of course it exists. There are black people that thnk they are elite because for the reaon that they are "black.. and they want the white man gone... Any race can have supremacy. Thing about it is is that us black folk are still the minority on the human race, not the majority.

[George6360]

@AkilB7 Just a thought..I see the world going back to serfdom in a way. A few hold power over the rest who work for the right to simply live a meager life.

[George6360]

@AkilB7 Spiritual system ?..you mean an idea based on love ,peace, respect for the world and those in it?. All Religions teach this and the problem is people cant disregard the trash put in the books by man.

It is easy to see what was put in mans heart by God and what was not.This is true in ll the great text.

[AkilB7]

@George6360 The main difference between Serfdom and slavery was Serfs usually worked on land, whereas slaves worked any occupation. Serfs legal had rights, slaves didn't. However there was slavery in Europe with the Cymry in Wales and the Anglo Saxons in England, and the Slavs in central Europe whom were captured by rival Slavonic tribes. (It was a wealth thing with them)

[AkilB7]

@George6360 That is were you are wrong! If you research the origins of ISLAM you would know that it started off as a spiritual system and not an organized 'religion' as modern day 'Arabs' and others have made it to be today. Again, I do not deal in 'religion'.

[George6360]

@AkilB7 I do not agree. The Serf was never able to pay off the debt or move up in class and would be a slave for life. I agree color was not an issue though..it was a wealth against poor thing.

[George6360]

@AkilB7 It did, and Islam tells of them being the chosen people but they did not listen to God so another was called to do Gods work. I am just stating what the Religions say and in that regard it is a fact of History.

[AkilB7]

@George6360 Islam did not start with no Jews! I reject that on principle. So called 'holy' books are nothing but myths. I deal in actual facts only. If you are going to use biblical text as a source you have lost me before you even started.
