Theology of Time page 310
Look at these boys that got killed lying in their sleep like a rabbit sleeping in his bed, not playing any attention to the dog, and here comes the dog eating him up, but a dog won't grab a rabbit when he is lying a sleep in his bed, He'll make a noise to make him jump up. I have hunted with dogs going after rabbits in the South and that rabbit dog of mine, he'd would go up there and catch a rabbit squatting down into his bed under the grass, and with his ears lying down on its back neck, the dog won't jump on right on him like that, he'll take his feet and pat the grass and make a little noise and the rabbit jump up and he run. Then he takes out after him. He gives him a chance for his life. But, look what these devils did with these boys out there. They were lying down asleep. The devil didn't wake them; he sent a blast of bullets in the man while they were sleep. He had him surrounded anyway, why didn't he just tell him, "I got you covered; do you want to go out fighting?" That would have been just, but he was such a coward, and scared of them.
So the devil blasted away the man's life from him. The dead man never saw his enemy; he didn't know what he looked like. He died before he could be awakened. He didn't know what killed him. See what kind of people you live among and that you praise them up and wish you could stay on with them forever; look what you are doing. I don't say these men would not have gotten killed if we had helped them, but that would have stopped us from seeing another name like. "Why didn't you and your followers, Mr. Muhammad take revenge for such?" The reason I didn't take no part in it is because they had asked me to stay out before they got killed. I spoke about them before they ever got into this death and killing stuff; they came to my house. When I spoke of them in our paper, they asked me not to write no more about them; they said, "Just keep your paper and don't put us in it." So, I said, "Okay" and I didn't, even until today. God told me to go ahead and let them do it, and I left them alone and now they're almost wiped out. I knew this group was coming, so I went on and took myself in my house, put my mouth in my own paper and didn't say nothing about them, because they didn't appreciate it. They don't appreciate it even today, but tomorrow they will. They are so dumb to the knowledge of self that they don't accept God, because they don't know God, and they consider God just something of a prophet. They will soon know; it's coming to pass. Fly to Allah for refuge in this day and time.

@exiquio Most of my notes are from that book. Every time I re-read it I find something new I missed before.
