On the other band, anything that ELIJAH MUHAMMAD says or does, or the Black Muslin movement says or does, which I feel is against the best interest of the Black community, than I will attack it myself, but I won't attack it because someone sics me on it. I don't let anyone use me to . fight their battles. No one can say that what he teaches is not a religion, but it is not the religion of Islam. The religion of Islam is based upon brotherhood.
