According to the American
ers are celebrating in their holy
city, Mecca, whether to send a
delegation to the United States to
publicly disavow the Black Mus
Inns of America and their leader,
Elijah Muhammad, and his flar
boyant lieutenant, Malcolm x.
They fear that the Black Mus
Inns anti-white, and anti Christian
anti-Jewish and providence stands
are doing their religion great dis
service around the world and must
be checked according to Shiek
Mohammed Sorour Elsabban, sec
rotary general Of the Muslin
league, Mecca.
The league is an official in
ternationa1 organization estab-
hshed to unity the work Of the
Muslin faith (Islam) from Nor
Deco thru Africa and Asia to the
Philippines. It's leader, Sheik Els
abban, is darker than Malcolm x
and proud of his African heritage.
But he emphasized to us in
an interview in his home outside
Jeddah on the road to the other
Islanic holy city, Medinah, the
Muslin religion recognizes no
color boundaries. We are all broth
ers together"
The Dammanns reported that
Shetk EEsabban told us Muslin
leaders turnout the world are
deeply concerned by the increase
Of racial tensions.
They see 1t as a violation Of
their religious beliefs but because
they are convinced that If it con-
inues unchecked it can mean only
disaster for mankind.
The sheik says that much Of
the current tension results from
the worldwide publicly given TO the
racial troubles in the us. To
prove his point he picked up the
morning Arabic paper and read
aloud an account of a riot In jack
son, Miss, a story which received
as much front-page prominence as
the report Of an Egyptian air raid
on a hospital and mosque in south
ern Saudi Arabia"
The Dammanns then went on to
quote the Sheik as saying that be-
cause a small minority in America
is ''ndsusing our religion which is
international in scope to further
its own ends, the differences be-
tween persons Of different colors
is being intensified.
The writers then proceeded with
this quote:
I'm his last words before leav-
ing this earth the Prophet Moham-
med said there Is no difference In
color or race" Sheik Elsabban
said. "A good Muslin is a man
who holds his tongue and hand
from violence.
1.-The Black Musltns' Of the
United States reject the Christians
and the Jews, but the true Mus
lin does not. We recognize Christ,
not as God, but as a prophet, just
as Moses and Abraham are pro-
phets.
'Muslims also recognize the vir-
ginity of Mary, the Mother Of
Christ" the secretary general con-
tinued. The Koran tells US To
preach by discussing and convinc-
ing, not by violence. It tells us to
talk with reason with the believers
Of the Holy Books" (The Old and
New Testaments Of the Bible).
I'VE believe In God, therefore,
we are not against the Christians
and Jews. We are only against the
Communists, because they don't
believe in God and destroy re1ig-
ions.
IF the Black Mlslins' Of Amer
lea believe in segregation from
white men, II they are against
Christians and Jews, and II they
preach violence, then they are not
MuSllmS," the Muslin leader Cd
Mecca concluded. I'VE would Hike

A decent interval win have
passed by the time Congress
reconvenes in January and Re-
publicans will be able to re-
sumo speaking frankly their
opposition to the Kennedy-John-
son program.
The Republicans are handi-
capped just now by a whimsi-
cal fraud variouSly known as a
political truce or a political
moratorium. This is q period of
grace and Seemly conduct most
often in effect after some trag-
edy of national proportions
such as the assassination Of a
president. In the shocked after
math Of such an event, the 10y
al opposition usually hastenS to
announce that for the time be-
ing it viii forego petty politics
and nasty cracks about the late
leader. If the opposition is
caught with a big political
clambake scheduled, it is ira
ditional to postpone or to can
eel it - as the Republicans
cancelled a rnidwestern meet
ing at which was to be
launched the campaign to re-
tire the Kennedys (all three Of
them) from public life.
An Absolute Phony
Such are the outward mani
festations of a political truce in
the train of national tragedy. 1t
Is Of no consequence that such
q political truce is an absolute
phony. The facts, of course,
are that the loyal opposition
calls the truce against itself.
This is done, not so much in re-
spect to the late leader as in
the certainty that outrageouSly

In this short text we find Paul
