I found the speech, after listening to it in context, vile in manner, repugnant, malicious, mean-spirited and spoken in mockery of individuals and people, which is against the spirit of Islam. While I stand by the truths that he spoke, I must condemn in the strongest terms the manner in which those truths were represented.

I don't believe we have ever had a Black leader that was so widely accepted among the masses of people, as well as the leadership, in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, as Allah (God) has blessed me to be accepted.

Prophet Muhammad was not a ritualistic man he was the example of this Qur'an. Yes, he prayed yes, he visited the Inner Sanctum of Allah and gave us five daily prayers, but he wanted us to live the meaning of that prayer.

Comandante Fidel Castro sent his people there into Africa, in the Caribbean they died right alongside of others who were seeking the blessing of justice and freedom and equity. What other man do you know who did such a thing?
