Wh ac uslim sect, was suspended recently for expressing joy at the assassination of the late President Kennedy. ~ Not really suspended. For Malcolm X continues his ministerial duties in the New York Muslim mosque. It’s just that he has been temporarily ‘forbidden to speak by Elijah Muhammad, self- styled messenger of Allah and head of the black supremacy sect. ©. re ‘ Elijah Muhammad objected when Malcolm, in- a speech at a Black Muslim rally at Manhattan Center in New York, described the assassination as a case of the chickens coming home to, roost, Being an old farm boy myself,” Malcolm added, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they’ve always made me gtad.” : But Malcolm’s remarks were hardly calculated to win friends for the sect, especially after the days of mental anguish and sorrow Americans ex- perienced after the murder of their chief execu- tive. Therefore prophet Muhammad decided to apply a temporary gag. _ But there is sufficient reason for believing Mu- hammad’s action was taken Jess out of sorrow than out of an attempt to avert criticism. When a chartered jet plane crashed in France some months ago, killing 120 residents of Georgia, Mai- colm X was similarly ecstatic. He told his dis- ciples in Los Angeles’ Muslim mosque: “I would like to announce a very beautiful thing that happened. As you know, we have been pray- ing to Allah, We have been praying that He would in some way let us know that He has the power to execute justice upon the heads of those who are responsible for the lynching of Ronald Stokes (a Muslim killed by police during a Los Angeles riot in which eight policemen were shot or beat- en). And I got a wire from God today... . He dropped an airplane out of the sky with over 120 white people on it... . He gets rid of 120 of them in one whop.... , - “We will continue to pray and ,we hope that of the sky.... _ Whenever you read in the paper or hear on the radio or on the television about accidents in which these good, blessed, blue-eyed people have lost their lives, you tan say ‘Amen,’ for that’s God's work.” | _ coe Newspaper reports say that the audience laughed, shouted, and applauded Malcolm's re- marks. And leader Muhammad was completely silent; apparently he didn’t deem his lieutenant’s words extreme enough to deserve censure. ) while, Malcolm X waits for the storm of over his remarks to subside, so Je can ones again preach his hateful doctrine of bigotry. ~ This, Too, Is Bigotty— demagogic lieutenant of the anti-, | o- B43 NOT RECDADED ip .204 Mr. Tolson Mr. Pelront._w } se {Indicate page, name of newspaper, city and state.} PAGE 6 ARIZONA REPUBLIC PHOENIX, ARI ZONA catty — Te rie Date: 12/26/63 Edition: Author: Editor: J.
