Alabama

The Muslims have lost a couple of head of cattle by gun-shot perpetrated by some coward, according to the report of Mr. Neil Maxwell.

This demon, Mr. James H. Bishop seeks to bring himself and the American people into a war with Allah (God) and the righteous, which will be the end of America and her people.

We, the Muslims, are a people of peace and have and are proving ourselves to be just that all over America. And of course this demon, Mr. James H. Bishop, is proving himself to be just what he is made to be, a mischief-maker, as Allah (God) Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever has taught me that he is.

I will warn this troublemaker that he is playing with fire, and a very hot fire; for he is not attacking Elijah Muhammad and his followers; but he is attacking Allah (God) Who welcomes the attack for this is what He came for.

As sure as Allah (God) lives, we will convert every Black man in America to his or her own, and this includes those in Alabama.

Look at the Muslims’ condition in Alabama. We went there to buy a piece of land from a citizen of Alabama and then some white enemy appeared who calls himself a preacher of the gospel of Jesus; but he did not forget to preach the gospel of the devil along with it. This devil, Mr. Bishop - we hired him when we first went to the farm in Alabama. He worked for us on the farm digging holes to help us to get set up on the farm. At that time he said nothing to us in the way of charging us with there illegally. Why did he hire out to us? Why did he help us to get started on our farm? We hired him and paid him for his work and there was no talk from him in the manner in which he is talking now.

So this man has now turned to be a real open enemy and not a secret enemy. He even goes so far now to even talk of killing us and is asking us for a fight. We are losing cattle from bullet wounds and he is speaking in the direction of even destroying our property and cattle. He even makes it hard for us to buy gasoline; and the most ignorant and worst thing is that the gas-attendant sells us the gasoline; and then we are arrested and charged with a crime for buying the gasoline, instead of charging the man who sold it to us. It is very ignorant and silly.

We bought land and cattle in Alabama. We mean to get the profit out of what we bought and if the government of Alabama intends to drive us out from our property they will have to buy us out; not drive us out.

If the government of Alabama is in agreement with the white people of Alabama in what they are doing against the Muslims, the I want to say to the whole of white America that we have Allah (God) on our side to retaliate against anyone who mistreats us. We did not go down there with rifles and guns to shoot anyone. If we are not accepted by our brother Muslims, we most certainly have been accepted by the God of Islam, Allah, Whose Proper Name is Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever, Who came to us without observation, as it is written of Him, however He makes His work manifest. The Nation of Islam’s idea again is to build better country homes for the Black people.

I say to the whole of the American white people that you could never win against anyone outside or inside America as long as you seek to mistreat us. As it is written in the Bible, "He who contends with thee (us) Allah (God) Will Contend with him and give them their blood to drink like sweet wine."
