However, those who have used those words use half the sentence to fit their purpose, which, of course, I believe is to discredit me and the new Nation of Islam that has come up around me.

[Bernie] Sanders is fighting against a system. He sounds good. The system is rotten to the core.

Not that I regret saying what I believed to be the truth, but I regret anything that I might have written or spoken that could have been used in a way to help to foster that atmosphere out of which came the loss of life of Brother Malcolm.

Hillary, you're a strong woman, you're an intelligent woman - you're not a good woman. But if you want to do good, let the Black man go, and stop deceiving them, that you are really their friend. If you were their friend, why did you kill Muammar Gadhafi?

Every revolutionary thinker in America, White, Black, Brown or Red, never got the true representation from the corporate-controlled media.

Our [black people's] path is clear: We refuse to be inferior. We want to be exactly what Allah (God) has desired for us to be and we can't be that in their [white people's] house. We either have to take over their house or go and build a house of our own.

The Nation of Islam was the biggest contributor to the Million Man March, but poor people gave their nickels, dimes and dollars some wealthy Black people gave money to make that March a success - and every nickel, every dime, every dollar was accounted for.

Black leadership has to recognize that principles more than speech, character more than a claim, is greater in advancing the cause of our liberation than what has transpired thus far.

Prayer has never made you right, because right now our world of Islam is filled with abject hypocrisy in its religiosity.
Louis Farrakhan
Image
We are not responsible for the behavior of anyone that goes contrary to what we teach, any more than the Pope of Rome or the Archbishop of Canterbury or a religious leader who teaches moral law and values can be charged with the errant behavior of a parishioner or congregant who may violate their moral teachings. That is on the individual.

Unfortunately, the war has cost America greatly - politically - throughout the world.

Image
I am not crazy. I am not a man that hates this country in which I was born. I want to see you get past what you are facing. America is facing that which will destroy her as a nation and break her power completely.

But when I reintroduced the Nation of Islam, and began to host meetings in cities and thousands and thousands of people come out.

I can't tell Black people to fight a war that is Israel's war. What kind of leader will you be, or should I be, to allow these babies Black, white and brown, to fight Israel's war, because Zionists dominate the government of the United States of America and her banking system.

I could never endorse any candidate because not one of them is saying that which would save America from the Wrath of Allah (God).

If we're united, I wouldn't care about a White school board getting me a little something. The hell with the school board that's the White supremacy board and the White supremacy board wants you reading stupid books rooted in the idea of White supremacy. I don't want a thing to do with White supremacy.

Rituals don't make you righteous, it's uprightness: living up to moral principles and ethical principles, and submitting to universal law established by God.

Too many of us live on the horizontal, vain level of life: We want to acquire more and more things we want the material blessings of life and we are neglecting the elevated state of existence! And that's why God said of Abraham he was neither a Christian nor a Jew, he was a Muslim: he was an upright man.

Comandante Fidel Castro is a gifted communicator. He is a brilliant, brilliant mind. But the thing that struck me most about him was he was not a nationalist.

We've got to set up in our own community our scientists and scholars that can check what is going into our people.

Fasting is required, staying away from fighting and arguing and bombing of masjids is still going on. Hatred is still manifested between Sunni and Shi'a, I don't know whether there is deepening of commitment to Ramadan in that part of the world.
