I loved Elijah Muhammad with a love that I can't adequately describe.

Because wherever I am today, I still owe it to God and I owe it to two men - the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X and of course, two very special women, my mother and my wife.

The die is set and Malcolm will not escape for the foolish talk he spoke against his benefactor, such a man, is worthy of death, and it would have been so, were it not for Muhammad's confidence that God would give him the victory over the enemies.

But if I thought on it, I would like to be remembered as a brother who loved his people and did everything that I knew to fight for them, the liberation of our people.

Few words could adequately describe the appalling nature of the tactics used against these citizens,

I urge the immediate release and safe return of Mr. Pearl. His release may serve the greater good and promote meaningful dialogue with the American people and government.
