As-Salaam-Alaikum
This is an exchange with a former high school classmate. I sent an invitation to all my family and friends to listen to Minister Farrakhan’s talk on Obama via the Webcast. One sister relayed the message to others and she received this message back from Hoyet, so she forwarded it to me; and, therefore I responded. I was pleased to read where other lost-found former classmates also defended our beloved minister. I thought I would share the exchange.

It’s amazing that people like you have very little knowledge about the kind of propaganda you disseminate! This is absolute rubbish and who really cares what Farrakhan has to say about anything?
Let me start with the following:
If anyone would simply take a read of the Quran-”Koran” or the fraudulent story which the prophet Muhammad created you would easily see that the message from Muslims has no merit and can not be defended as a message from God. Nowhere in the Quran do you read that others bare witness to the fact that God or Allah ever told Mohammad what Mohammad has written in the Quran. He made the story up and link it to bibical characters to try and give His story some level of authenticity. It’s a bogus story and has no merit, period!
Unlike the Bible where there are numerous instances where the interaction between God and His prophets has numerous witnesses and can be confirmed through numerous biblical writers. This is not the case with Islam. It’s a concocted story and has duped a many of people who have brought into the propaganda. Such is also the case of those who identify themselves as black Muslims, who probable have never even read the Quran but have simply bought into that mumbo-jumbo from Elijah Mohammad.
Black people should no more listen to louis farakan as we should listen to anyone who doesn’t have the sense or knowledge to investigate the facts of any religion. And certainly you should not stake your soul salvation on something that has no biblical foundation and teach and preach a hate doctrine. How could that ever be a message from God.? God is love, and the Muslims got it all screwed up and they continue to screw up the lives of weak-minded people in our communities, because we don’t read and we don’t study.
Please take me off any correspondence which come from the Muslims, especially the black Muslims.
Thanks,
Hoyet Andrews, III

Dear Mr. Hoyet Andrews III,
I am extremely dismayed that a Black man in America holds in such low regard the Revealed Words of Allah (God) and one of His prophets, Muhammad ibn Abdullah (peace be upon him). I am equally amazed at the hate-filled tone and spirit which you disseminated while at the same time you declare that “God is Love”. I apologize if my assumptions are wrong, but I assume that you are a Christian judging from the way that you extol the Bible. When I was baptized as a Christian they taught me that Christians love everybody. My! – I guess times have changed as you show hate, rancor, animosity, acrimony and malice towards the Honorable Louis Farrakhan. Have you even ever met Minister Farrakhan? Are you aware that there are millions of people who hold the exact opposite view of Minister Farrakhan than you do? Are you aware that Minister Farrakhan has traveled to nations in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America and South America where he is greeted as a head of state and with honor? Are you implying that all of these people “have little knowledge” and that they “don’t read” and “don’t study”? How well do you read? How much do you comprehend of what you study? Are not your own words the words which are actually propaganda?
First your statement that Prophet Muhammad concocted a fake story and wrote it is false on its face. It is well known that the prophet was illiterate, therefore he could not read or write. Second, one of your prophets of the Bible, Jesus, the son of Mary, taught according to the Book of Matthew chapter 7:
16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Any fair, objective and reasonable person who has read and studied the lives and work of both Prophet Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan has to conclude that they have brought forth nothing but good fruit. For example, before Muhammad began his work all of Arabia was a bunch of tribes steeped in polytheism, war, drunkenness and vices of every kind. Muhammad transformed the Believers into sober, righteous men and women. In Muslim countries today there are no murders, rapes, robberies, pornography, gambling, fornication, adultery, selling of neither liquor, nor any of all the other sins and vices the bible warns against. Contrast that with America the so-called Christian nation of bible-thumpers where a woman is raped every 6 seconds, and murders take place daily, and robberies, gambling, drug dealing, fornication, adultery, pedophilia, homosexuality and you name it. Even young children are now pimping and whoring; so I ask you if you are honest with yourself –who has brought forth good fruit and who has brought forth the evil fruit. Minister Farrakhan has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of men and woman to live righteous and clean lives, just as it is well-documented that his teacher, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad did as well.
Muhammad transformed not only Arabia but spread Islam throughout the known world. The Ottoman Empire thrived for nearly 500 years where Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together in love and harmony. The Ottoman Empire was larger and more powerful than the Roman Empire, yet harmony reigned until the Christians ignited the Spanish Inquisition by means of disseminating propaganda much like what you speak. Certainly somewhere in your studying you must have read that your ancestors were Black Muslims. Certainly you read about the great Black Muslim kingdoms of Songhai, Mali, Ghana, Ashanti, Benin, Mossi, Oyo and Hausa. Certainly you must know that Timbuktu and Gao were international centers of higher learning and where Aristotle and Plato learned high civilization. Black Muslims were foremost among those whom taught science, engineering, architecture, philosophy, geography, astronomy and mathematics to the rest of the world. The very numerals that you have been taught all you life are Arabic numerals, i.e. (1, 2, 3, 4 . . . 10). Algebra is an Arabic word. We, Black Muslims, taught you (Christians) the concept of the zero (0); can you imagine every calculating your way to Mars using Roman numerals i.e., (I, V, X, Lii, iii). It was Moses (Musa) who first taught mathematics to the Europeans, but what you don’t know is that he only gave them one book of mathematics out of the 60,000 books of mathematics that we, Black Muslims have.
Approximately 98% of the African slaves whom were brought here to the western hemisphere were Muslims. Bartolome’ de Las Casa, who is reputed to be the greatest Christian missionary to the so-called New World is the person responsible for justifying the church’s role in enslaving black Africans. Where is this love from the Bible of which you boast? By the way, the Moors of Spain, Black Muslims, are responsible for much of the architecture that you grew up in San Antonio, Texas looking at; we taught the Spaniards how to build and how to sail and how to navigate.
Lastly, I can prove to you from your own Christian scholars that the Bible has been tampered with. Writers have added into and taken out of the original Bible. Why does the Catholic bible have 80 books but the bible which they, finally, after 300 years of forbidding you to read or write, allowed you to read have only 66 books? Why the number 66? What happened at the First Council of Nicaea 325 AD? Who conferred there and what did they confer on? Jesus was a devout Jew who always kept the Passover. Why are you not a Jew, if it is Jesus that you are following? If you ever want to debate if the Bible is all from God or all inspired words from his prophets and not a concoction of the Jews, then you will lose. I am so certain of that which I assert until I will stake my life on it. Even Peter, the same Peter that Jesus said was the rock upon which the church would be built, wrote in his inspired letter to the early Christians that heresy had already appeared. So how do you now make such claims of pure scriptures in the bible in light of what Peter stated?
2 Peter 2:1 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
If I were you I would never say publicly that the bible is a book that is confirmed to be non-concocted, because if you are among learned people they will laugh at you. The Bible has approximately 700 different versions and still counting. I hope you know this fact. One of your Bible scholars, Pastor David L. Brown, Ph.D. wrote in his work entitled, Early Corruption of The Word of God:
“Efforts to corrupt the New Testament began almost immediately after it was written . . . Hucksters took the pure word of God and, like the shady wine dealers, mixed in their own philosophies, opinions and perversions and they peddled it all over as the real thing. We also know that false gospels and false letters were written and circulated.”
I am going to go out on a limb again and assume that since Pastor Brown has a Ph.D. that he is one who reads and studies and that he has more than a “little knowledge:.
Your Brother with Love,
Rahim Muhammad
