If we criticize our government for its corruption, we are called un-American. If we criticize the behavior of White people in their injustice toward Blacks, and if we as Black people want to come together and find some solace and peace among ourselves, we are called racists in reverse. So we better not even speak the truth because if you speak the truth, somebody is going to get hurt. But truth is your best friend, because truth will give us a mirror to allow us to see ourselves and how far off we are from the standard of God. Somebody has to tell the truth.
Somebody has to be willing to pay the price of the truth.
Truth is more important than our little positions. Truth is more important than being a mayor or a police chief or a senator or a cardinal or a pope or an imam or the President of the United States. Truth is bigger than us all. The Holy Qur'an teaches us that Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. This universe is sustained with truth.
