MALCOLM: If ELIJAH MUHAMMAD really believed im _
the same god that I believed in; §F ="
believed in ELIJAH MUHAMMAD stronger
than he believed in himself. I
believed in his God more than he did
and I was not aware of this until I
found that he was confronted with a
crisis in his own personal moral life
and he did not stand up as & man.
Anybody can make a moral mistake but
when they have to lie about it and
will be willing to seethat murder
is committed to cover up their mistake,
not only are they not divine, they're
not even a man, [fa man sits as a
judge and a woman is brought in front
of him and charged with adultery and
the judge himself is the one with whom
she committed adultery but the judge
stands up and berates the woman,
letting no, in order to make no one
even suspect that he is the real —
criminal who was involved with the
woman and humiliates her and then
sends her into isolation, completely
destroys her reputation, with no -
kind of protection for her, of her
whatsoever. And she takes it, she
loves him so much and believes so
strongly in his sense of justice
so much she allows herself to be
projected almost as a prostitute’
and that man permits this, then that
is not a man. To have gotten weak
for a woman is one thing, It if
human, and it is natural, But after —
getting weak and completely destroying
her reputation, to do nothing whatsoever
to protect her. as a woman, then he ia”
not a man, And to commit murder and to
see folbwers line up to kill each other
and to mutilate each other, then this is
not:a man,
