LOUIS FARRAKHAN

I don't think about my legacy, if indeed, I have one.

Without an advocate for the poor, without a new state of mind in America, the country lies on the brink of anarchy.

I don't own Hollywood.

The Bush administration does not desire to see Islam practiced in its pristine purity.

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.

I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity.

I am not the same man I was 35 years ago. And I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity.

I think that rather than condemning Islam, Islam needs to be studied by those who are sincere.

However, those who have used those words use half the sentence to fit their purpose, which, of course, I believe is to discredit me and the new Nation of Islam that has come up around me.

Because as a youngster I longed to see the Black man free and I longed to see anyone stand up for us.

I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government.

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

But when I reintroduced the Nation of Islam, and began to host meetings in cities and thousands and thousands of people come out.

What President Bush did in his doctrine of preemptive strike and in his war in Afghanistan and in Iraq was to turn even his allies in Europe negatively toward America.

If we don't make earnest moves toward real solutions, then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad, and yet potentially joyous, state of America.

Could it be that my circle is largely black and that it is why I am influential in black circles but not in white circles?

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.

So, this war is against the Islam that the West does not control.

Anarchy may await America, due to the daily injustices suffered by the people.

We are all gifted, but we have to discover the gift, uncover the gift, nurture and develop the gift and use it for the Glory of God and for the liberation struggle of our people.

Everything that I'm attempting to do is based on my understanding of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and what he wanted for his people.

A brother who recognizes that we have shortcomings, we, in the struggle, have faults, and that he wanted to reconcile differences.

There is no one right now in my judgment that can unite the Black electorate in such a way to present our agenda to a nominee to have them forthrightly address our concerns.

I was never named in the early years as having anything to do with the assassination of Malcolm.

White people are potential humans - they haven't evolved yet.
