Excerpt of a Letter Written by Malcolm X
Dear Brother,
You must have been thinking I had forgotten you. I can never forget those who believe in Allah and desire to follow his way by casting aside the ways of the devils.
. . .
All over the World the Dark Peoples know that the devils time is up and those Dark Peoples want to sweep down like a huge Tidal Wave and wash the devils from this planet
. . .
Allah Himself is holding them back, but only long enough to let all of us hear the Truth that His Messenger is Teaching. When we all have heard and had a chance to accept or reject it and have chosen which side we’ll be on . . . then Allah will allow His “Sea of Black Soldiers” to sweep out of the East and make this entire hemisphere a “sea of blood” (red sea) . . . but this sea will part and let those of us pass by who are for the Truth . . .
