“Pears -

The nurses law was to kill the black babies at birth by
sticking a needle in the brain of the babies or feed it to
some wild beast and tell the mother that her baby was an
angel baby, and that it was only taken to heaven and some day
when the mother dies her baby would have secured her a home
in heaven. But save all the brown ones and tell their mother
that she was lucky that her baty was a holy baty and she
should take gcod care of her baby, educate 1t and that some
day it would be a great man. All nurses, doctors and
ministers, Yacob put them under a death penalty to fail to
carry out the law as it was given to them. Also, the
cremator who would burn the black babfes when the nurse
brought it to him; also death for them if they reveal the
secret, He also had other rules and laws which are not
mentioned in this lesson. :

"29, Tell us, why he was successful in all his
undertakings?

"Ans, - Because the people who were his followers obeyed
Yacob laws, Regardless what he told them to do, they did
it. If not they paid with their lives for every law they
broke. Yacob did not build prison houses to imprison his
people when one fell victim of the law; the penalty was death
and was enforced on every victim,

"30, Tell us what and how the devil is made?

"ans, - The devil is made from the original people by
grafting; by separating the germs. In the black man there
exist two germs; one a black germ and one a brown germ, Yacob,
with his law on birth control, separated the brown germs from
the black man and grafted it into a white by destroying the
black germ, After following this process for six hundred
years, the germ became white, and weak and was no more
original, Also by thinning the originsl blood it became weak
and wicked and it is no more the same. Thus, this ie the
way Yacob made the devil.

"31. To make devil, what must you first do?

i "Ans, - To make devil, one must begin grafting from
original,

the 7th. « dark man is now taking that which rightfully belongs to hia. The
devils don't own one inch of the earth. ivery oit of the land the devils own
was taken from the dark man. The dark man is just repossessing that which
belongs to him. Bring your professors, your judges or the President and I
will prove to any of them so that they cannot deny it that the white man con't
own one foot of the 196,940,000 square miles of the planet earth." UW

Later in the meeting, he made the following remarks:

"Join your own kind and your own religion and save yourself from
the wrath of Allah on america. It is written in the book to receive not the
mark of the beast or hig name for they that receive the sark will be destroycd.
What is the wark of the beast? It 1s the uark you see on the devil's ssoney
and on his uniforms. The sign or sark of the beest is the 'eagle.' and if
you have that mark the Japanese are goinz to shoot at it."y

On May 7, 1942, Gulan Bogans, known as the apostle of lah, was
taken into custody by Bureau agents, at which time he admitted that he had
failed to register on February 16, 1942. He refused to register when
requested to do so, stating that it would be against the will of Allah, and
that he had already registered with the nation of Islam in Detroit in 1931.
according to Bogans, in 1931 he set an indiviaual known to hin as ,. D. Fard,
whom he co:.siders as allah, our Goc. He adyised the avents that Allah told
him that Islan is freedom, justice, and equality for the people of lost
nations, in «hich are included the dark people in the United States, which
he described as the wilderness of North america. He continued that no true
menber of Islam would register for United States Selective Service, and that
he would under no circumstances submit to or permit the agents to register
hin.

Begans acvised that in accition to the Teaple in .asnincton, 0. C.,
there are Temples in Detroit, iiilwaukee, and Chicago. The original Teaple
at Detroit, where Islam was founded, has, according to Sogans, between nine
and ten thousand registrants. This is posaibly exaggerated, cut it is believed
that there is an active membership of between fifty ana one huncred. Through
informants, it was ascertained that the leaders of the Detroit and jiilwaukee
Texples arrived in iashington, D. C., very shortly aiter Bogans' incarceration.
These individuals were questioned by Agents, at which time they admitted they
had failed to register on April 27, 1942, and when given an opportwiity to do
90 refused to register. One of them, Sultan Kohammed, is the leader of the
Milwaukee Temple of Islam, 630 est McKinley Street, Milwaukee, wisconsin,
and he claims a membership of between one hundred and one hundred fifty in
that city. The other person, ‘Jali Mohammed, stated that he was the leader
of the Detroit Temple. Their real names are Sullivan cllis and #illiam Poole,
respectively. Gulan Bogans is a blood brother of Sullivan sllis.y 4
The above information concerning the failure of r | and Poole to
register on April 27, 1942, is being presented to the United States Attorneys
at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Detroit, Michigan, for whatever action they may
desire to take in the premises. y

DETAILS: AT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

The Muslim Cult of Islam and the Fruit of Islam will
hereafter be referred to in this report as the MCI and FOI, respec-
tively.

All informants utilized in this report have furnished
reliable information in the past.

I. ORIGIN AND PURPOSE

The MCI 4s an organization composed entirely of Negroes
which was reportedly organized around 1930 in Detroit, Michigan,
The national leader and founder is ELIJAH MOHAMMED, who claims to _
have been sent by Allah, the Supreme Being, to lead the Negroes
oyt of slavery in the United States. Members fanatically follow
the-alleged teachings of Allah as interpreted by MOHAMMED, and
“disavow allegiance to the United States. Members pledge allegiance
to Allan and Islam and believe that any civil law which conflicts
with Muslim law should be disobeyed. The Cult teaches thet members
of the dark skinned race cannot be considered citizens of the
United States since they are in slavery in this country and,
therefore, must free themselves by destroying non-Muslims and
Christianity in the "Wer of Armageddon". For this pirpose the
Cult has a military branch called the Fruit of Islam (FOI), com-
posed of all male, able bodied members, who participate in
military drill and judo training,

Membera of the Cult also believe that they are directly
related to all Asiatic races and any conflict involving any Asiatic
nation with a Western nation is considered part of the “War of

Armageddon” in which the Asiatic nation will be victorious,

Ii. AIMS, PURPOSES, AND

R
TEACHINGS OF THE MCI

On September 20, 1942, ELIJAH MOHAMMED was arrested and

charged with sedition this time MOHAMMED gave the followin,
oral staterent to SA
and, whic ea ed to be true refused to

sign saying a e would admit the truth of this statement in court
and his word was his bond and his signature was not necessary:

- The United States was doomed to destruction in

the year 15, but that this time of destruction has been extended
H MOHAMMED lead the bl. out of the wilder-

fn America and in turn the b an can become the |
rightful ruler of the world,

14. The Negro. should demand a state or a group ef
‘atates on the East Coast of the United States for his own to rule
and govern himself independent of the white race. f-

15. The conflict between the Eastern and Western
countries of the world is in reality a conflict between good and
evil and the white race, being evil, will be destroyed.

1$.: The earth rightfully belongs to the black man and
all white devils must be exterminated along with all of those
who serve the devil's purpose, Ali so-called Negroes are memberr
of the Asiatic race whether they realize it or not.

0 CD

The aims, purposes, and teachings of the MCI have not
changed. ELIJAH MOHAMMED, the national leader, continues to
relate that the aims and purposes of the "Nation of Islam" (MCI)
are to separate the white race from the black race in order that
the black race can establish a nation of their own in the United
States to rule and govern themselves independent of the white
race, In this regard MOHAMMED continually states that the Unite
States Government should give the so-called Negro a state or a
group of states to rule and govern themselves and also continues
to characterize the "Nation of Islam" as a "nation within a natic
The basic teachings continue to be that members of the MCI reside
in this country as subjects or slaves and are not citizens of the
United States but are citizens of Asia, MOHAMMED continues to
tell the members that their forefathers were kidnaped over 00 -
years ago and brought to the United States as slaves and that
their children are still in slavery in this country. Other teach
ings of the MCI continue to be the eating of proper foods, moral
standards, and military procedures, MOHAMMED continues to state

that he selected by Allah, who came to this country in 1930

in the person of one W. D.OFARD, in Detroit, Michigan, to lead the
so-called Negro into a true Imowledge of self, the identity of th:

not be any peace among them. He put him out in the worst

Allah came to my home in Detroit and taught me about
his religion and Islam, For approximately nine months
after this visit Allah came to my house almost daily
and taught me about Islam and then continued coming to
my home less frequently for a period of 15 months
thereafter until May 26, 1933 when the Detroit Police
Department forced him to leave the city.

*I remained in Detroit and continued teaching
Islam at various meetings from 1933 to September of 1934
when because of pressure from the Detroit Police Depart-
ment I left the city and came to Chicago, The lest time
I saw Allah was in Chicago,in 193) and I do not know
where he is at present.

"when Allah first came to my home in Detroit in 1931
he said that he was Mahadiah (phonetic) and that he was
Allah who everyone expected to come two thousand years
after the Christ who was crucified at Jeruselem. At
this time Allah gave me the name Mohammed, which I have
used ever since,

"Prom 1929 to the present I have had no regular job
of any kind. Occasionally I would do odd Jobs for one
day or so during this period. However, for the most
part for the last 11 years, my family and myself have
been taken care of financially by the Moslems, From
1931 to 1935 I taught Islam in Detroit and Chicago.

From 1935 $0 the present, I have traveled extensively

and have lived for various periods in the following
cities: Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Boston, Providence,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati,

and Atlanta. During this time my family remained in
Chicago and they and myself were supported by voluntary
contributions from the Moslems, The monies which I
received all came from the members of the Moslem Temple
in Chicago. During the time I have traveled about Tt
engaged in no activities other than the study of religion
and I was also endeavoring to avoid unknown individuals
who I understood were trying to take my life. I also
visited Moslem Temples in Philadelphia, Newark, Hartford,
Columbus, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. It ia my under-
: standing that there are more than 25,000 Moslems over the
foS United States and about 400 or 500 in the city of Chicago.

has also said that no Moslem should bear arms, engage

in any military training, or activities, nor carry any
weapons. That is why MOHAMMED and KARRIEM have stated
at the Moslem mectings that a true Moslem registered
with Allah, should not enter into selective service, for
once a Moslem has been registered with Allah, it 4s not
necessary for him to register again. By registering with
Allah, a Moslem becomes a citizen of heaven, which is in
Mecca, Allah has also said that many thousands of years
ago there were blue prints buried in Mecca of an airplane,
about one-half mile wide, and one-half mile long, which
would travel from 350 to 400 miles per hour, This plane
was completed in 1929. It took twenty years to build it.
On the plane there are 1500 small planes, On each plane
there are three bombs, each weighting 2000 pounds. This
plane was made on the Island of Nippon, These bombs
travel into the earth surface for one mile and do not

@o off for ten binutes, When they explode they caat up
mountains one mile high.

"There {s a blackboard at the Temple on which is
painted the American flag. Underneath it there is a
cross and a picture of a black man hanging by his neck.
Underneath all of this is the word 'Christianity'. On
the right hand side of this same blackboard ia the
Moslem flag, which fa rectangular, with a red background.
In the center appears a crescent anda star. On three
corners of this flag are the words = ‘Freedom, Justice
and Equality', on the fourth corner the letter 'I',
which stands for Islam. i

"Since MOHAMMED returned from Washington in June ‘)
of this year, he has used this blackboard to explain the
difference between life under the American flag for the
black man and life under the flag of Islam for the black
man. Under the American flag, the black man is lynched,
persecuted, abused, burred and denied equality, whereas
under the flag of Islam the black man is given freedom,
jugtice and equality.

This individual was never advised by anyone, formal

the MCI or of the specific aims and purposes of the MCI.
However, it could be easily concluded by this individual of
what the MCI stood for based on the speeches of ELIJAH MOHAMMED
and other MCI officials, MOHAMMED and officials stated that
the aim of the Nation of Islam (MCI) was the separation of the
races and the establishment of a nation of their own free and
independent of the white race; that members are Asiatics and
not Negroes and will always be in slavery in the United States
as long as the white man is in power, The white race is the

any obligations incident to membership in the MI or of its
specific aims or purposes. No instructions were given to this

that if he became a member he would renounce his United States
citizenship and no longer owe allegiance to the United States,

In regard to the above points, however, it was taken
for granted by this individual in speeches by ELIJAH MOHAMMED
which he heard (prior | to his becoming a member, of what the aims
and purposes of the MCI were when MOHAMMED told the congregation
that there was no such thing as a Negro but that they were
original black men and were not citizens of the United States

MOHAMMED also indicated that the aim of Islam was the separation

He could come and do trading among us and we would not kill
him as quick as we would the other devils, that is who

has not gone under this Study. After he goes through with
this labor from thirty-five to fifty years, we permit hin
to wear our holy Flag, which is the Sun, Moon and Star,

He must add the sword on the upper part. The sword is an
emblem of Justice, and it was used by the original man in
Mohammed's time. Thus, it was placed on the upper part, of
the flag so that the devils can always seo it, so he will
keep in mind, that any time that he reveals the secrets. We
give him this chance so that he could clean himself up and
come among us, His head would be taken off by the sword.
The holy flag of Isiam'is the greatest and only flag known,
The Universe is everything - Sun, Moon, and Stars. They
are planets. Planets are something grown or made from the

®10. Why does Mohamed and any Moslem murder the devil?
What isthe duty of each Moslem in regard to four devils?
What reward does a Moslem receive by presenting the four
devils at one time?

"ans, - Because he is one hundred per cent wicked and
will not keep and obey the laws' of Islam. His ways and
actions are like a snake of the grafted type. So Mohammed
learned that he could not reform the devils, so they had to
be murdered. All Moslems will murder the devil because
they know he is a snake and also if he be allowed to live,
he would sting someone else. Each Moslem is required to
bring four devils, and by bringing and presenting four at.
one time his reward is a button to wear on the lapel of his:
coat, also a free transportation to the Holy City Mecca to
see brother Mohammed,

"The purpose of Islam is the clean up the dark people

the other civilized people of the earth, In their present
condition they are not and cannot be honored and respected
by intelligent people. Islam desires to eliminate pros-
titution, gambling and drinking among the dark people so
they can be respected, All dark people are Moslems whether
they realize it or not. Allah came to teach Islam and
take away our slave names and give us free names of the
nation of Islam. Prior to 1935 at the time the free names
was given, Allah issued to the Moslems a card which he
must always carry with him and which identified him as
a righteous Moslem, There were approximately 35,000 af
these cards issued by Allah and although numerous applicae

{
\
organisation was incorperated under the laws of the State of Illinois,
duly 20, 1928 The organisetion has approximately dae thousand five hundred :
members and fifty six chapters looated in verious parts of the United ctates«
Investigation shows the members to be registered for Seleetive Service and 3
all members disclaim any affiliation with the Allah Temple of Islam.

Investigation of the Moorish Temple of Science of Ameriea fails to disclose

eny un-Americsa activity.

"MR. PARD MUHAMMAD

"Mr, Fard Muhammad (God in Person) chose to suffer
three and one-half yeara to show his love for his
people who have suffered ever 300 years at the hands of
&@ people who by nature are evil, wicked, and have no
good in them.

"He was persecuted, sent to jail im 1932, and
ordered out of Detroit, Michigan, May 26, 1933. He came
to Chicago in the same year, arrested almoat immediately
on his arrival and placed behind prison bars.

"He submitted himself with all humbleness to his
persecutors, Each time he was arrested, he sent for me
that. I may see and learn the prise of TRUTH for us (the
so-called Negroes)

"He was able to save himself from such suffering,
but how else was the scripture to be fulfilled? We
followed in his footsteps suffering the same persecution,

"FEAR

“Pear 1a the worst enemy that we (the so-called
Negroes) have, but entire submission to Allah and His
Messenger will remove this fear, The white race put fear
in our foreparents when they were babies, so says the
World of Allah.

"The poor (so-called) Negroes are so filled with
fear of their enemy that they stoop to helping him
against their own salvation.

"Be aware of what you are ddfng lest you be the worse
loser, If they had only been taught the TRUTH, they
would act differently.

"JOHN HAWKINS
"alleh has tavght us that our foreparents were de-

ceived and brought into America by a slave-trader whose
name was John Hawkins in the year 1555.

they should remain righteous and not engage in fighting

to all of us of registered Moslem names this teaching
himself when he gave out the identification cards with
our holy name on, that you shall not take any part in
fighting or anything pertaining to fighting. This also
applied to prostitution and all kinds of gambling, TI
have reminded the registered Moslems of the instructions
of Allah that they should do no fighting or take part

in it, that they should live clean lives and in peace,
The registered Moslems already have been taught this by

eity of Mecca, and that these blueprints had been thers
for thousands of years. These bombs would go into the
earth for at least a mile and would throw up earth to
a distance of ore mile, so that it would make a mountain.
I have reminded the registered Moslema of this teaching.

"Allah also taught that all dark people are Asiatics
and belong to one nation. Allah also taught that white
people were grafted from the dark people and that white
people were made weak and wicked, He taught that registered
Moslems would be persecuted for their righteousness and
that white people were created to live 6,000 years and
their time was up in the year 191) A.D. He further taught
that the wicked will be destroyed by fire, By wicked
he meant the white devils. Allah further taught that the
dark people will have peace when the trouble maker, that
is the devils, or white man, is separated from the peace-
ful. As a ipyal follower of Islam and a registered Moslem
I aubseribed and believe in all of the above teachings

and I have also taught these principles to other Mosloms,

are in the form of marching and close order drill. It is apparent
that members will not support the United States in time of
national emergency as evidenced by the fact that MOHAMMED con-
tinually refers to the imprisonment of himself and members during
World War II for failure to comply with Selective Service laws.
MOHAMMED continues to be critical of any of his followers who
serve in the armed forces and indicated that he would not de it

i *Ans, - So that he can use them for a tool, and also
G a slave, He keeps them blind to themselves so that he can
Re master them, Illiterate means ignorant.
£ "7, Why does the devil call our people Africans?

. that the people on that continent are the only people they
BL. have and are all savage. He bought a trading post in the
jungle of that continent, the original people live on this
continent and they are the ones who strayed away from civili-

this continent Asia, but the devils call it Africa, to try
te divide them. He wants us to think that we all are different.

"8. Why does the devil keep our people apart, from
his social equality?

Fans, - Because he does not want us to know how filthy
he is and all his affairs, he is afraid because when we
learn about him we will run him from among us. Socialist
means to advocate. A society of men or groups of men for one
common cause. Equality means to be equal in everything.

of the MCI at Chicagos

1. The white man uses Christianity to further his
influence over the Negro.

2. The white race will be destroyed and the black’ man
will regain his position of supremacy in the world,

4. The cross represents the black man who was placed
there by the white man since the time that the black man has been
enslaved,

5. The white race is made of sin and must be destroyed.

6. The flag of Islam represents freedom, justice, and
equality whereas the American flag represents government by

enslavement, rape, and brutality.

7. With sufficient members MOHAMMED could compel the
United States Government to give him some of the earth.

8. The Negro in North America resides in the status of
a subject or slave rather than that of a citizenof the United
States.

9, The MCI is against integration and is for the
separation of the races,

10. It is necessary to kill four devils (white race)
before a member can wear the button of Islan.

11. Negroes will never obtain freedom, justice, and
equality in the land of the white race and their only salvation
is to follow the teachings of Islan.

12. The aim of Islam is to separate the Negro from the
white race in order to establish a nation of their own.

PALLAH'S WARNING TO US

PAllah told us that the slavemasters had taught us
to eat the wrong food, and that this wrong food was the
cause of our sickness and short span of life. He declared
that He would heal us, and sit us in Heaven at once if we
would submit to Him; otherwise He would chastise us with
@ severe chastisement until we did submit, and that He was
able to force the whole world into submission to His will.

"CAUSE FOR THE NATION OF ISLAM
TO REJOICE '

"If a man can rejoice over the finding of his lost
or strayed animal, or a piece ef silver, or a son who had
the desire to leave his home to practice the evil habits
of strangers, how much more should Allah and the Nation
of Islam rejoice over finding us who have been lost from
(Allah and the Nation of Islam) for 400 years and follow-
ing others than our own kind?

"CHRISTIANITY

"Christianity is a religion organized and backed by
the devils for the purpose of msking slaves of black man-

kind.

"Freedom, Justice, Equality; money, good homes, ete.--
these Christianity cannot give us (not the Christianity
that has been taught us).

"He (Allah) said that Christianity was organized by
the white race and they placed the name of Jesus on it
being the founder and author to deceive black people into
accepting it.

"Our first step is to give back to the white man his
religion, Christianity, church and his names. These three
are chains of slavery that hold us in bondage to them.

We are free only when we give up the above three,

be a source of trouble in the near future.
Leaders of the various organizations in this
city not definitely nom. Members of organ-~
izations are nade keenly aware of racial
hatred existing between the white and colored
races. Several colored informants have been

On May 16, 1942 a teletype was received from the Detroit Field Divi-
sion settin; forth that a raid had been conducted on the temple of the Islams
and that they had taken six men and five women into custody for questioning.
The agents lg4rned from the questioning of the members of that group that
WALLACE DON JFARD, known as Allah, organized this group in 1931 but had left
Detroit inVi934, and the members did not know is present address, It was
also set forth in the teletype that the teachings and discussions of this
group are of freedom, justice and quality. No member is allowed to smoke, |
drink, or carry any sort of weapon, They also advised that there was no
Japanese influence apparent in Detroit. These members also statcd that
registration under the Selective Service Act was ‘contrary to the law of Al-
lah but also denied that discussions of the group ever concerned registration
and that no member is counseled or advised to register, but that each one de-
cides for himself, The men who were interviewed had failed to register for
Selective Service. It was also sct forth thot 2 picture of the moslom flag
and of W. D. FARD had been obtained fyon the Detroit temple.4¥

A letter was received fromltfic San Antonio Ficld Division datcd May 25,
1942 which set forth that NOHAMSDIOSOULL had recently organized a school
known as tno[ Temple of Allah in NeSaington, D. C., which professes to embrace
the Mohammedan religion for the bencfit of the negro race and is stirring up
the negro populace by mzans of pro-Axis propagenda. Classes are being held
four nights each week and members are urged to scnd their children to this
school and to ignore the public schools. Gymnastic and military drills with-
out arms also take place in the classes of this organization. MU

Japanese will take over this country and that as a result the negroes will be

The teachings of the University of Islam and the studies oon- ©
ducted at the regular worshipful mestings of the Islam group, which mhetings
are held Sunday afternoon and Saturday and Friday evenings at the Temple at ue
623 Medbury Street, Detroit, instruct that the black race, which is saved and
which affiliates itself with the Moslem Religion, is known as “The Asiatic

’ Blacks® or the "Lost Found Nation of Islam." The teachings indicate that these ~
Asiatic Blacks are the chosen people and that they and their religion are = "*
supertor to any other person or any other religion, According to the beliefs of
the Islam Group, the black man had his first contact with the devil when he was
brought to this country as a slave, The sleve rame which was given te himat =~
“ that time 4s not his true name and his true name can only be found on the relk “&#%"
of ALLAH at Mecca. The only way the individuel can find his true name is to be. .
come affilieted with the Islam Group and be a sincere believer therein and _
.make written application for knowledge as to his true name to W. D. FARD, who -s3:7.
is ALIAH. At the present time, inasmuch as the present whereabouts of ALLAH no
is unknown, the written applications are being received at the Temple and
reserved for action by ALLAH upon his return to Detroit. \ ager Pt

The entire membership of the Detroit group at the present

actively leading the group. They are a semi-illiterate group, unable te;

* "32, Tell us the mental and physical power of a real
devil?

"Ans. - The mental power of a real devil ia nothing in
comparison with the original man, He only has six ounces
of brain, while the original man has seven and one half
ounces of brain, They are grafted brain, The devil's
physical power is leas than one third that of the original
man. The devil is weak bone, weak blood, because he is grafted
from the original; therefore his mental and physical power,
is much weaker than the original man,

"33, What is a devil?

"Ans, - A grafted man which ts made weak and wicked,
or any grafted live germ, from original, is devil.

"3, And can you reform devil?

"ans, - No, All the prophets have tried to reform him
(devil) but were unable, so they hsve agreed that it cannot
be done unless we graft him back to the original man which
takes six hundred years, So instead of losing time grafting
him back, they have decided to take him off the planet, who
numbers only one to every eleven original people.

"35, Tell us the exact date of the expiration of the
devil's civilization?

"Ans. - Expired in nineteen and fourteen.

"36. Tell us the exact number of years, months and
days, of devil being birthed on the planet?

Pans. - Six thousand and twenty years. And seventy-two
thousand, two hundred and forty-one months. Two million,
one hundred ninety-seven thousand three hunésed and fifty-
one days, at the date of this writing (6,020 years, 72,2)1

that the name which was the name given Subject at
the time of his was ac bis slave nahe, given his family at the

time they were placed in a state of slavery. At the time Subject registered

with him that inasmuch as they had registered with FARD and the Nation of
Islam that they should not register with any other Governaent ‘nasmch as
they were citisens of the Nation of Islam and eald serve only one nation
and that if they registered with any other nation they ooulid not be good
Moslems inasmuch as they would be attempting to serve two governuents at

the sane time. Subject stated that he, therefore, had refused to register
for Selective Service inasmich as he would be acting in violation of the
instructions he had received from FARD to the effect that he should not

register with another goverraent. u

to the Nation of Islam and was not a citisen of the United States. Subject
further related that in his opinion the colered people are still slaves
actually although they are-not regarded ao by the white people of this eountry.
He stated that the basis for this ep epinion was the fact that colored people
are, not able to eat, sleep er do anything else in the sane places with white
people and that unless such practices are abolished, eolored people are
still slaves in fact.y

Bubject, at the time be was interviewed, stated that
he did not regard himself as a negro but as an Asiatis and that if he had
sufficient money he would like to go back to Asia. Subject further
related that the Islan religion stands for freedom, justice and equality

in Italy, which 1s southeast Europe, His full name was .
Christopher Columbus, and the place he discovered was
North America, He found the Indians here, who were
exiled seventeen thousand years ago from India. They are
original: people.

"hh, Why did we run Yacob and his made devil from the
root of civilization, over the hot desert, into the cave
of West Aafia, as they now call it Europe? What is the mean-—
ing of Eu and Rope? How long ago? What did the devil bring
with him? What kind of life did he live, and how long before
Mossa come to teach the devil of the forgotten Tricknollegy?

"Ans, - Because they had started making trouble among
the righteous people telling lies, They accused the righteous
people, causing them to fight and kill one another. Yacob
was an original black man, and was the father of the devil.
He taught the devils to do this devilishment. The root of
civilization is in Arabia at the Holy City Mecea, which
means where wisdom and knowledge of the original man first
started. When the planet was found, we ran the devils over
the Arabian Desert. We took from them everything except
the Language and made him walk every step of the way; it was
twenty-two hundred miles, He went savage and lived in the
caves of Europe. Eu means hillsides and Rope is the rope
to bind it. It was six thousand and nineteen years ago.
Mossa came two thousand years later and taught him how to
live a respectful life, how to build a home for himself and
some of the tricknollegy that Yacob taught him. Whith was
the devilishment, telling lies, stealing, and how to master.
the original man. Mossa was half original, a prophet which .
was predicted by the twenty-three scientists in the yoar
one, fifteen thousand nineteen years ago, today.

"5. Why did we take Jerusalem from the devil? How
long ago?

"Ans, - Because one of our righteous brothers, who was
@ prophet by the name of Jesus was buried there, and he uses
his name to shield his dirty religion, which is called

Christianity, also to deceive the people so they will believe
in him, Jesus! teaching was not Christianity, it was Freedom,

"Ans. - Yacob first rule was to see that all his
followers were healthy, strong and good breeders, If not,
he sent them beck. All that he found that was not good in
multiplying and that they should marry at the age of sixteen.
Next, Yacob gave his people the law on birth control to be
enforced while manufacturing the devil. That was to destroy
the alike and save the unlike which means kill the (black
babies) and save the brown babies, This law was given to the
doctors, the ministers, the nurses and tremator. The doctors
law was to examine all that marry and this was his law that
anyore desiring to marry must first be qualified by the doctor,
and in turn he qualified or disqualified them to the minister.
The minister would marry only the ones that were unlike.

"NO ‘INTEGRATION

"The slavemasters! children are doing everything in

their power to prevent the so-called Negroes from accepte

show of false love and friendship.

“Mis is being done through 'integrationt as it is
called, that is, so-called Negroes and whites mixing to-

said that 'tyou can have this new Western world but give
us the ship Jesus back to our peopie and country’, which
now has become a song among our people, which goes some-

"Ans. - They continue daily, to teach the 85% that
all this that you see such as rain, snow, hail and Earth-

able to see until he dies. This is believed by the 85%.
The 10% know that when man dies that he will never come back
and tell the living whethsr he lied or not because the dead
is never known to return from the grave. All the History
of Islam never reveals anything that no man had ever been
able to come back from a physical death. But there is a

DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD

"Allah has warned us of how He would (one day)

fire that would consume and destroy everything of the
present world, Not anything of it’ (the present world
of white mankind) would be left. Those escaping the

and opening prayer said by the preacher and repeated by vnose

in the audience. Announcement was made that the minister was
late today, but that the members would carry on in his absanc2
until he came. Following that various persons spoke eivher fran
the floor or from the stage and invariably praised Allah and nis

justice, and equality, or give us‘death. If you can't give us
that let us alone as we are determined to carry on regardless of
costs Be careful of how you speak and how you act. Be 105% care-
ful, as what will hurt me physically or mentally, will hort my

praise't and apparently is one of the usual surnames used by the
Moslems. One of the male speakers gave a talk lasting for
about 35 minutes concerning the coming of the Son of Man. He
statec that the Son of Man would rise in the East and came to
the West and vill teach wisdom to the Moslemse He called the
Bible the poison book. \
