In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught in his book 'Message to the Black Man in America' that the white man is the devil. He taught that since the beginning of the white man's existence there has been nothing but tyranny and bloodshed. Now, I am one who grew skeptic of this at first. But, once I began to study the history of the Caucasian I could do nothing but conclude that the white man is the devil. Devil being a criticism of all the evil that this race of people have perpetuated for the past 6,000 years. Being a native of Puerto Rico, I became skeptic of this being that I have cousins who are of white skin, blue eyes, blond hair. I would not look at them as the devil, or could not look at them as the devil. However, in reading the teachings of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad it lead me to see that it was the actions of white people that he was speaking of and not necessarily their physical features. There have many books written to support this thesis. One of which is the Iceman Inheritance where it states that due to the cold, harsh climatic conditions of Europe, this lead that group of people that we know as Caucasians to develop a harsh and brutal make up in their characteristic. Being that the climate was more an enemy to them than an aider or a friend, they grew to be barbaric. Thus, in their origin we see them dwelling in caves and being very primitive in their actions. Whereas in Africa, where the oldest human remains are documented, we see a more harmonious, peaceful characteristic in the makeup of the people who originate from there. Give me your feedback. What has been the experience of Puerto Ricans in relation to the white man? Is it comparable to that of African-Americans or does it differ?

your brother and servant,

Min. Hector Falu-Muhammad

There is one problem though

In reading your post and reaching to my emotional side I can see how someone can agree with you. However, blaming the "white man's evil behaviour" on the climactic conditions? Doesn't that point to evolution? I mean how friendly is 110 degree heat. The origin of evil is still a big a mystery as it ever has been. I can tell you that weather conditions do not influence our behaviour.
Several theories have been suggested, some argue that evil is found in the genetic code. This conclusion was reached in an effort to explain why most serial Killers are caucasian. The study does not hold water, but it is quite interesting.Us humans are still the most complicated and yet simple creatures, we are capable of nightmarish actions yet on the other hand we can also be capable of the most beatifull selfless feats, and that goes for blacks, whites, yellow green etc....
