OUR BLACK MEN: WHERE baby, but also to raise a baby,
ARE THEY?
BY: SANDRA DUPREE BOYD
You can hear this question
often asked. Especially in the
churches. I understand that a
considerable number of our black
protect a baby, and most of all to
provide for that baby.
Rev. Jackson also stated that
we need to improve ourselves
individually.
Black men must realize that no
matter how much they may run
away from their problems, their
make, the cars you drive, and
your ability to prove yourself sex-
ually, bring a new meaning to
your manhood by proving your
ability to provide and protect
your family, maybe our children
will too.
5. Say yes to hanging in their
males are in prison. And what are
not in prison, you'll find some of
them in the streets.
Our black men are suppose to
be their families friends, fathers,
leaders, husbands, and role
models. But it seems as though
© they are more our public enemy
No. 1.
There Ts an old saying that,
when the going gets tough; the
tough get going. This saying
describes some of our black men
perfectly. ;
As long as things are going
their way, and smoothly, you can
find them. But let one small thing
go wrong and they Tre ready to
throw in the towel.
Black men must learn to stop
running away from their respon-
sibilities and start shouldering
some of the blame. Your families
don Tt need for you to run away
from them when things go wrong.
They need for you to run to them,
so that you can change that
wrong to a right together.
with your families when times
are bad, maybe your young men
will too.
6. Spend some of that money in
the Black community, maybe our
children will too.
7. Make yourself go to church
on Sunday, maybe our children
will too.
Learn to put your faith in God
and He will deliver you. When life
hands lemons, make lemonade.
Black families don Tt want their
black men to walk in front of
them, nor do they want them to
walk behind them either. They
want you to walk beside them,
and be their friend.
And remember: The family
that worships together, and prays
together, will beat the odds and
stay together.
problems are not going to run.
Those problems are going to ex-
ist until they are solved.
Families need their black men
to laugh with them, cry with
them, worship with them, and to
be supportive of them. You would
be surprised at the difference it
can make in your life, your wife Ts
life, and at the top of the list, your
children Ts life.
So if you want to make a
change, try this: 1. If your black
men and black women say no to
drugs, maybe our children will
too.
2. Say no to driving and drink-
ing, maybe our children will too.
3. Say no to Anthony Ts and Mr.
C Ts, maybe our children will too.
4. Rather than measuring your

Our black men must learn to
develop a strategy to deal with
the conditions in our society. You
are becoming your own self
destruction.

start with the man in the mirror.
Take a look at yourself and make

Chemists claims the AIDS virus
was man made to kill off Blacks
By HAROLD L. JAMISON
Following extensive research
into what causes AIDS, a local
bio- chemist charges ~ ~AIDS is a
U.S. government germ warfare
creation deliberately given to
Black Africans and Haitians in
a plan to eradicate them from
the face of the earth. ?
Jack Felder, a 49-year-old
- Springfield Gardens, N.Y.,
biological-chemist with degrees
in biology, chemistry and ap-
plied science in engineering,
charged in a carefully worded
research paper ~ ~the AIDS virus
is man-made and a_ bioen-
gineered virus created by splic-
ing or mixing together a virus in
sheep called ~visna virus T and a
retrovirus of cattle known as
~bovine levkemia virus, T which
was then introduced into human
beings. ? T
Felder backs up his assertions
with an impressive array of
documentation accumulated
from various sources around the
world.
oThe fact that AIDS was a
U.S. germs warfare creation
was the headline and front page
news of the Sunday Express
newspaper in London, England
on Oct. 26, 1986 and how AIDS
was given to Black Africans and
Haitians was clearly exposed in
The London Times, May 11,
1987," Felder Stated. ~ ~The next
day every country in the world
U.S. media was silent on the
issue. ~ ~For some strange rea-
son, T he rhetorically ques-
tioned, ~ ~the story was killed. ?
oReporters like Jon Rap-
poport (a Los Angeles based in-
vestigative reporter and author
of oAIDS INC., Scandal of the
Century T T), spoke to newspeople
at the Associated Press in
Washington, Boston and New
York; Reuters at the United Na-
tions; and the United Press In-
ternational in New York. No one
he interviewed had ever heard of
the story out of London. With
AIDS, the media have chosen not
to become embroiled in the ques-
tion of causation, ? Rappoport ac-
cuses in his book AIDS INC.
oMedia get their information
from press people who work at
universities and public health
agencies, and who are fed HIV-
dogma like popcorn. Why? he
asked rhetorically, answering his
own question. ~Because the of-
ficial line daily newspapers print
comes down from NHI (National
Health Institute) and CDC
(Center for Disease Control).
Writers from dailies don Tt get
paid to do research in bio-medi-
cal libraries, to put together
pieces of information they ac-
tually dig up on their own from
medical literature or human
sources. ~ oTherefore, T T he con-
cluded, ~ ~federal health agencies
are always going to sound right
1932, where the government,
under the direction of CDC,
deliberately infected 400
African-American sharecrop-
pers with syphillis and watched
them die, even after penicillin
cure for syphillis became avail-
able in 1940; to what he declares
is the ~ ~most notorious six-days
in America, ? when U.S. milit:
ary personnel sprayed clouds of
potentially harmful bacteria in
clouds over San Francisco, and
other secret experiments where
bacteria was sprayed in New
York subways, Washington,
D.C. airports and on highways
in Pennsylvania.
oBy 1980 certain biowarfare
weapons have been uniquely de-
signed for targeting and killing
of specific ethnic and racial
groups, T Felder charges.
~There are few Americans who
are even vaguely aware that the
U.S. Army has a biological and
chemical warfare department,
located at Fort Detrick in
Frederick, MO. Its functions
are to develop chemical and
biological weapons and they al-
ready have a well documented
tradition of experimentation on
human beings. ?
Jt was in Cold Springs Har-
bor, N.Y., in the early 1960's
that Felder claims biologists
and scientists first gained the
ability to slice DNA out of cells yp
and recombined them in other
Representatives in 1969 dis-
cussed a Pentagon brief to
create through genetic engineer-
ing a virus whose action would
defeat the human body Ts im-
munity, someone therefore was
interested in such a virus then, ? T
he reminded. oJohn Seale, an
English venereologist, who
claimed the AIDS epidemic was
caused by experiments carried
out in the U.S.A., told reporters
he was totally convinced the
AIDS is man-made, ? Felder
stated.
All of the 1,083 homosexuals
who took the Hepatitis B vac-
cine given in New York in 1979
were dead a decade after the
test, as were 1,402 gay men
recruited from gay VD clinics in
San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Denver, St. Louis and Chicago.
~There is complete agreement
in the virology world that the
AIDS virus didn Tt exist before
1978 in the U.S. homosexual
population, T T Felder said.
Smallpox vaccinations is
fingered as causing the AIDS
virus to raise its ugly head in
Africa and Haiti, according to
Felder.
~The smallpox eradication
program, sponsored by the
World Health Organization
(WHO) was responsible for un-
leashing AIDS in Africa, ?
Felder contends. oAlmost 100

5. We never repent of having

10. Don Tt be too eager to tell
others their faults, for we all
make mistakes. James 3:1.
11. Anyone who says he is a
Christian but doesn Tt control his
sharp tongue is just fooling
himself, and his religion isn Tt
worht much. James 1:26.
12. Don Tt criticize and speak
evil about each other. If you do,
you will be fighting against God Ts

ing it is wrong. What right do you
have to judge and criticize

grime from the hands and face:
Take a cup of lard and add 5
tablespoons of sugar. Mix well

ed at the results.
14. THIS YEAR TS RECIPE:
Take 12 fine full-grown months;
see that these are thoroughly free
from all old memories of
biterness, rancor, hate and
jealousy. Cleanse them complete-
ly from every clinging spite; pick
off all specks of pettiness. Cut
each month into equal parts - an
equal part for each day of the
month. Do not attempt to make
up the whole batch at one time.
Prepare one day at a time at
follows: Into each day put equal
parts of faith, patience, courage,
work, hope, fidelity, liberality,
kindness, rest, prayer,
meditation.
Add about 1 teaspoon of good
spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of
folly, a sprinkling of play, and a
heaping cupful of good humor.
Pour love into the whole and
mix with a vim.
Serve with quietness,
unselfishness and cheerfulness.

oseveral years.
- The Supreme Court is that
branch of government specially

ject. to the will of Congress in

Congress. There is no such con-
~straint on its authority to apply

omind that document's overall
purpose and meaning, as well as
how earlier Courts applied its

disregarded both.
In the area of civil rights, the
Court stood the Constitution on

Blacks. She sued under Section
1981, the civil rights statute
enacted after the Civil War to
prohibit employers from treat-
ing Black workers differently
than whites,
The Court ruled that the post-
Emancipation law was meant to
bar race discrimination in hiring
but not discrimination on the
job! The Court advised Patter-
son to seek relief under other
statutes, such as Title VII of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The
problem is that while Title VII
bars employment discrimina-
tion, it does not cover the same
situations, allow as much time
to bring suit, or allow for as
much damages, as does Section
1981. Clearly, Congress in-
tended the latter to protect
Blacks, not just in getting jobs,
but on the job as well.
In another case I discussed in

ironically used the Constitu-

businesses, it did so in recogni-
tion of the construction in-
dustry Ts longtime and almost
total exclusion of African-A-
mericans and other minorities -
citywide, statewide and nation-
ally. (Fortunately, although the
Court wrongly struck down
Richmond's plan as unconstitu-
tional, it did not rule out the
validity of race- conscious at-
tacks on discrimination al-
together.)
The Court snatched a vital in-
strument for substanding
employment discrimination
claims from the hands of the na-
tion Ts minority workforce in a
decision involving the Native
American and Filipino cannery
workers, who presented statis-
tics providing that ~they had
been relegated to all of a com-
pany Ts low-paying positions
while whites got all the high-
paying desk jobs. The Court, in
rejecting their claim and greatly
limiting the use of statistical
john a. powell
evidence, made it harder to gain
relief under Title VII.
The Court, issuing one of its
worst opinions in an already ter-
rible term in the Martin v.
Wilks case, egged on whites
who feel ~ ~discriminated T T
against by court-approved,
voluntary settlements in dis-
crimination cases to legally con-
test such settlements - which
could trigger the unravelling of
many. The case involved the Ci-
ty of Birmingham, Alabama
which, after years of fighting
charges that it had violated Ti-
tle VII in hiring and promoting
firefighters, entered into a cour-
t- approved agreement with two
of its legal adversaries to set up
a remedial hiring and promotion
scheme. A group of white
firefighters, after declining their
right to enter the. litigation
while it was in progress, chal-
lenged the constitutionality of
the settlement after the fact.
Legal precedent dictated that
their suit be barred. The Court
permitted it instead, thus open-
ing the floodgates to similar ac-
tions by whites disgruntled over
efforts to free minorities from
centuries of inequality and
oppression.
Each of these decision is
harmful. Together, they signal
the dawning of a dark age, in
which blatant disregard for the
rights of African-Americans
and other minorities will be the
rule of thumb. An activist, hos-
tile, conservative majority, that
began to take shape a year and a
half ago with the appointment
of Justice Anthony M. Ken-
nedy, is loose in the land. Mis-
sion: to perpetuate the system
of inequity the Court's
predecessors sought to dis-
mantle,
in the
and documentation of specific instances that affirmative action is not prac-
.ticed within the department under the present administration.
= = There are those within the Police Department who are making a futile at-
| otempt fo discredit our charges of discrimination in making
| Ments, inconsistencies in promoting
female officers, sexual harassment, and the creation of cosmetic positions
with no bs ge pe duties. These are only a few of the charges that have been
presented to
~ the appropriate federal government agencies.

practices, favoritism toward white
this administration. At a later date, these will be reviewed by
These practices must not be allowed to continue within the Greenville
~Police Department for the officers currently serving nor for those who will
come after us. The continued growth of our city demands that the quality of
leadership and the management of personnel and resources within the local
law enforcement agency be superb.
We are asking for your support of our efforts in correcting certain prac-
tices which will help the Greenville Police Department give better service to
the deserving public.

In a related statistical report,
information collected in June in-

oThese are telling figures
about the Greenville Police
Dept. Ts war on drugs, T T Tesmond
said. ~ ~There has been a dramatic
increase in our number of drug
investigations during the past
year. This increase is the result
of two factors: first, the City
Council has given us the addi-
tional funding we need to in-
crease our personnel in the
Special Investigations Unit, and
second, the amount of drug ac-
tivity in the city has also increas-
ed. More drugs are being shipped
to Greeenville, resulting in more
drug investigations and more ar-
rests. ?
When will criminals be
stopped from dictating
When are we going to stop
politicians, judges, and parole
boards from allowing criminals
to dictate our lives? Being 53
years old, I have the benefit of
remembering when criminals
weren Tt in charge.
Up until the '60s you didn Tt have
to have to have exact change to
get on a trolley car or bus. You
just handed the driver a dollar
and he'd give you change. Then
drivers started getting held up.
Instead of catching and imprison-
ing the robbers, we put
passengers to the inconvenience
of having exact change.
Department stores use to have
numerous exits. In response to
widespread shoplifting, they Tve
reduced the number of exits.
Again, we're inconvenienced in-
stead of authorities catching and
imprisoning thieves. What Ts
more, merchandise prices reflect
the steep cost of anti-shoplifting
hated that stores must buy.

could shop for just about
anything in a three-mile radius.
Besides, you could safely walk to
the store day or night. Today,
there are not only no stores of any
significance, but even _ if
therewere, you wouldn Tt want to
walk, at least not at night.
Criminals have put the stores out
of business. Residents, that don Tt
want to get ripped off by Mom &
Pop stores, must bear transpor-
tation costs to go downtown or to
surburban malls.
Politicians, judges, and parole
boards treat law-abiding people
with contempt. Remember Ber-
nard Goetz, who defended
himself against would be at-
tackers in a New York subway?
He was jailed. Now remember
the lady jogger who was raped
and beaten into a coma in New
York Ts Central Park? Had she
carried a gun and shot her
assailants, she would be in jail
with Goetz instead of the hospital.
Civil authorities, along with their
friends in the anti-gun lobby,
would rather have us be victims
of brutal assaults and live in fear
than defending ourselves against
barbarians they put on the
streets.
I say hogwash to all of that. As
a kid I used to steal money from
Mom's piggy bank. When I got
caught, and between the lashes,
Mom said that she was neither
going to lock up nor hide her
money and I wasn Tt going to steal
it either. She didn Tt hide or lock
up the money and I didn Tt steal it
" again. We-.need to put Mom in

system?

ing our streets and homes safe.

One of Mom Ts famous speeches
applies here, oIf you Tre doing
something you Tre not supposed to
be doing, uou Tre not going to be
able to do what you Tre supposed
to be doing. ? City and state
goverments spend countless
billions of taxpayers T money for
handouts for the indiscreet, idle
and lazy, massive sports com-
plexes, and one junket or boon-
doggle after another " things
they are not supposed to be doing.
Therefore, they don Tt have
enough resources to protect the
citizens from criminals " which
they Tre supposed to be doing.
The only short-run solution is
for law-abiding people to arm
themselves and defend when at-
tacked. Like Goetz, I prefer jail
to the hospital or morgue. But the
long-run solution is to run our
political derelicts out of office.

GUILTY OR
NOT GUILTY?
To say Congress kills is a
serious charge, but let me lay out
some parameters and you make
the decision " Guilty or not
guilty?
Africa Ts drought and Soviet-
style farm collectivization ac-
count for a large part of the con-
tinent Ts starvation. It also stems
from U.S. policy on the export of
effective pesticides. Locusts start
out as relatively harmless
grasshoppers. When conditions
are right they emerge in stagger-
ing numbers, up to 150-million
locusts per square kilometer,
where they can eat 100 tons of
food per day. That Ts enough food
to feed 500 people per year.
According to Dr. Thomas R.
DeGrogori and Dina F. Solovey in
an article, ~ ~Out of Africa, ? in the
Summer 1989 issue of Priorities,
a publication of the American
council on Science and Health,
the most effective weapon
against locusts are DDT-type
compounds such as Dieldrin. But
elite environmentalists have
pressed Congress to ban the ex-
port of Dieldrin in the name of
protection the earth and human
life. They want poor Africans to
buy Malathion and Carbaryl
which are much less effective
against pests and 10 times as
expensive.
It Ts true that DDT-type insec-
ticides are more toxic than their
more modern and costly
substitutes. It Ts also true that we
used DDT in the United States
when we couldn Tt do better, but
the environmentalists would
deny the same access to others
that can Tt do better. This is a
familiar tune among do-gooders;
now that we Tre on the boat, let Ts
pull up the gangplank.
Our Congress provides equal
COOKING UP
A GOOD MEAL
QUESTION: Is there a test to
determine if baking powder is
still active?
ANSWER: Stir one teaspoon of
baking powder into!, cup of not
water. Baking powder is fit to use
if it bubbles abundantly.
QUESTION: What Ts the secret
to stop cookies from spreading
too much?
ANSWER: You may need to
add more flour to batter. If recipe
calls for solid shortening, don Tt
substitute butter or margarine
because they have more water
than shortening and may make
dough too soft.
Cookies may spread because
the oven isn Tt hot enough. Or you
may be over-greasing the cookie
sheets. Except for low-shortening
cookies, cookie sheets rarely
need to be greased.
QUESTION: What Ts the
method for cooking ham in the
microwave oven?
ANSWER: Place a fully-
cooked ham, fat side up, in a
glass baking dish. Shield top edge
with foil and loosely cover ham
with plastic wrap. Microwave on
medium for 12 to 14 minutes per
pound, After% of the cooking
time, invert ham, placing foil
again on top edge, re-covering
with plastic bie for the last
third of me.
Use a meat thermometer
designed for the microwave oven
or an oven probe and cook ham
to 160 degrees. Let meat stand for
5 to 10 minutes before carving.
opportunity in the sense that it:
policy kills Americans as well
Rachel Flick, in an article, ~Why
Can Tt We Get the Medicine We
Need? T Tin the current Reader Ts
Digest, writes about callous Food
and Drug Adminstration (FDA)
policy. In 1980, Knoll Phar
maceuticals introduced pro
pafenone, an effective treatment
for a potentially fatal heart
disease, FDA didn Tt approve the
drug until 1988. We can only guess
at the number of people who
needlessly died as a result.
Dr. George Frederick had pro-
state cancer and _ needed
flutamide which had been wide
ly used in Europe for years anc
found effective and _ safe
However, flutamide had not beer
approved in the United States. T
get flutamide, Dr. Frederick
managed to get FDA Ts permis
sion to o ~research ? T the drug and
now his prostate cancer is i:
remission.
About 500,000 Americans die o!
heart attacks each year . Accor
ding to Flick, 75 percent of these
attacks are caused by blood clots
The drug TPA was found effec
tive in dissolving clots in clinica]
tests in 1985, but the FDA didn Tt
get around to approving it unti!
late in 1987, and only then
because of loud protests from the
medical community. One
wonders how many Americans
die as a result of this branch of
government.
Last month, I wrote about how
Department of Transportation
regulations send thousands of
Americans to their death through
their mandate for Detroit to pro-
duce higher mileage cars. Cars
that get more mileage are made
lighter and less crashworthy. Ac-
cording to several studies, 4,000
Americans will needlesssly lose
their lives and another 20,000 will
be injured annually as a result of
DOT requirements for the 1989
models. I asked Transportation
Secretary Samuel Skinner about
this and his answer showed a
callous disregard for life in favor
of a concern for the environment
and the wishes of Congress.
Congress and the bureaucrats
are only too willing to take these
risks with our lives because the
victims are invisible. Those who
die because of starvation, the
unavailability of useful drugs,
and less crashworthy cars are not
likely to know why they died and
their relatives would never think
of their deaths as resulting from
an act of Congress.

ISLAM
IN FOCUS
ISLAM IN FOCUS
BY NORIA HALIMAH NAMAZ
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH
THE BENEFICENT
THE MERCIFUL
As Salaam Alaikum, Greetings of
Peace from Masjid AL Nur.
Muhammad was born nearly
six hundred years after Christ.
The Arabs were known for their
beautiful poetry, and great
memories. But they scorned lear-
ning. Few people in Arabia, at the
time of Prophet Muhammad,
could read or write. Neither
Hebrew, nor Christian mis-
sionaries could convert them
from idolatry.
When God missioned Muham-
mad to be His prophet, the very
first word revealed was
oREAD! ? ? Muhammad replied
that he could not read. The com-
mand to oREAD! ? was repeated
again, and again Muhammad
said oI cannot read, I am not
learned ?. Finally at the third
command to ~ o oREAD T TMuham-
mad replied READ WHAT?
Thus, the first five verses of the
Quran were revealed, ~ o ~Read in
the name of thy Lord who creates
" Creates man from a clot, Read
and thy Lord is most Generous,
Who taught by the pen, Taught
man what he knew not. ? Holy
Quran 96: 1-5.
A startled and shakened
Muhammad went to his wife and
repeated to her those same
verses word for word. At that
very moment Jesus prophesy
was fulfilled, o ~HOWBEIT WHEN
HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS
COME, HE WILL GUIDE YOU
INTO ALL TRUTH: FOR HE
SHALL NOT SPEAK OF
HIMSELF; BUT WHAT-
SOEVER HE SHALL HEAR,
THAT SHALL HE SPEAK: AND
HE WILL SHOW YOU THINGS
TO COME. ? John 16:13. Here,
Jesus prophesied that the one
following him would guide us in-
to all truth. Jesus, the seal of pro-
phethood to the Israelites, urged
us to watch for and follow
Muhammad, the seal of pro-
phethood to the world.
In this message Jesus also in-
structs that we shall find the truth
he brought in the words given to
Muhammad. ~ ~He shall glorify
me for he shall receive of mine,
and shall show it unto you. All
things that the Father hath are
mine: therefore said I, that he
shall shew it unto you. ?
With our own eyes we are wat-
ching society unravel. Yet God,
in His infinite wisdom and
knowledge has shown us the way
to stop this destruction, and make
our society, our world whole
again. We choose to turn our
backs on His guidance, and by so
doing we are helping to destroy
ourselves, our children, and
everything good and wonderful in
our world.
In our society religion has
become a status symbol not a
way of life. We use it for social
climbing or as an emotional
outlet for fears, and disappoint-
ments. We no longer seek true
salvation. When we have
spiritual problems, we attempt to
solve them through emotional
ways. Seldom do we apply
reasoning, logic, or common
sense to the spiritual messages
given to us by those who have liv-
ed before us, or. those who are liv-
ing with us now. In our own way
we are very much like the old
Arab, scorning knowledge. The
Quran says of us, ~ ~THESE ARE
THEY WHO HAVE BARTERED
GUIDANCE FOR ERROR: BUT
THEIR FRAFFIC IS PRO-
FITLESS, AND THEY HAVE
LOST TRUE DIRECTION ? Ho-
ly Quran 2:16.
I listen to spiritual gospel
songs, I hear and watch the
preachers speak. And then after-
wards I hear the souls of black
folk crying for relief. All my life
I have heard that cry, as I wat-
ched drugs and disease ravish the
friends of my youth and destroy
our communities. Paying little
heed to our overpowering gospel
music and soul stirring songs. I
wonder why Satan hasn Tt run
away from our preachers hard
and fast lectures. Why haven Tt
the people shouting, fainting, and
speaking in strange tongues kept
him away from their youth, It
seems that the more spiritual
we've become the more settled
and secure Satan has become in
our midst. A wise people would
stop and ask ~ ~What in the world
is going on? ? ~What are we do-
ing wrong? T
Since we've been in this coun-
try, we accepted the ill of goods
just as it was given to us . It
helped for a while but when the
going really got rough it deserted
~us, Many of our foreparents came
here with truth in their hearts.
And a strong desire to keep the
fire of truth alive in the souls of
their children. That truth still
lives, And is ours for the asking.
If you truly loved Jesus, you
would love Muhammad, for the
teachings of Prophet Jesus and
Prophet Muhammad (PBUT)
come together to bridge a
a spiritual gap. By taking the

ISLAM
IN FOCUS
_ rejecting the guidance God gave
to-Muhammad (PBUT), we are
allowing ourselves to hang over
a spiritual void In this position we
have stunted our spiritual
growth, and have denied the
world a modern day miracle.
In view of all we Tve been
through, what would be wrong in
checking out Islam. If the Arabs
had denied Muhammad, they
would have denied their bir-
thright. For the God of Abraham
was theirs by descendancy. And
if they had persisted in denial
they would have been left in
idolatry and the world would
have been denied a beautiful gift.
And so my people it is the same
with us.
Many of our slave forefathers
came here with a desire to keep
Islam alive in the hearts of their
children. Slavery denied them
that chance. Now we their
children Ts are denying them that
chance for a few pieces of silver.
Because it is more acceptable to
mimick this society than to try to
understand our own. Brothers
and Sisters, we are walking with
our heads in the wrong direction.
We can Tt see where we Tre going,
and we Tre quickly forgetting
where we caqme from. If you
turn your back on Islam, know
that you are turning your back on
your birthright. You are denying
yourself what is yours, and you
are denying your gift to this
society. For Islam is our gift. God
did not bring us here empty hand-
~ed. With Islam this country has a
chance to become a shining ex-
ample of God Ts love.
