I de not believe sc. It ia prebeble that the ferces,
which forced ne to quit the movenent, will also prevest gy °
access to “Muhammed Speaks,“ although I have been the founder
of that publication. This is a thing which ene ignores generally:
."2 am one of the founders of “Muhammad foeaks.“ I have urittes
the first issues completely. .
R.
Will you publich another magazine?
Maleola x.
Yes. Ya order to make propaganda for an idea, one
needs a publication and, if Allah protects us, we shall publish
another periodical, It will probably be called “The Flaning
Crescent,” for we want to enflanme everything.
How will the orientation of The Busiin Hoeque, Iac.,
be; more political than religious?
Malcola X.
The religious basis of The Muslin Mosque, Iaec., will
be Islam, and its role will be ta: raise the moral level of the
bieck conmuaity by eliniaating vices and everything which corrupts
our community. But the political philosophy ef The Muslin Noeque,
Iac., will be biack nationsiisa, ite economic philosophy will be
black nationsaliom, and its social philosophy will be black
sationaliom. With respect to the political philosophy, we are
partisans of the solution expounded by the Honorable Elijah
Mohammed; that is to say, the complete separation of the whites
frou the blacks. The twenty-two sillioa “blacks” must be
totally separated from the American whites and one must, in a
long-range program, eavisage their return to their African
fatherland. Our immediate program is that we want to eat there
where we actually live; we waat to have a right to sleep, we
- want to have clothing to clothéus, we want better empiocynent, .
and we want a better education. But, if our long-range progran
is the returs to our African fatherland, our immediate progran
must allow everything which permits us to live better while ve
are still ia the United States. We must coapletely contro] the
political life of the “black community,” we must completely
control all black politicians so that any stranger in the “black
community” cannot sake his voice heard. We must a11 occupy our-
selves with our affairs.
