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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

Many of the Jews who owned the homes, the apartments in the black community, we considered them bloodsuckers because they took from our community and built their community but didn't offer anything back to our community.

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

I don't own Hollywood.

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

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

It appears that there is a genocidal plan against Black people.

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

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.

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.

Naturally, when one makes progressive steps, there may be some who see it as a betrayal of their goals and interests.

There really can be no peace without justice. There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth, unless someone rises up to tell you the truth.

And I hope that five years and 10 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.
