Is the white man the devil?

[MinFaluMuhammad]

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 mendacious need to discriminate against another race blatantly ignores the big picture, that is, white people are directly responsible for some of the most benevolent acts of love and charity humanity has ever known. Certainly, whites, like all others races, have their “wild ones.” However, it is extremely disingenuous to over-focus on the acts of this diminutive segment of this race, and ascribe those findings to the whole, whether the finings be good or bad. If one mentions for instance, the Holocaust, an erroneous conclusion of that event would be ALL Germans are evil. The sound, judicious conclusion one should draw from such carnage, is, those who participated in, and contributed to the horror are evil. The little German girl eating her cookies in the playground for instance, should not be deemed devilish as your narrow-minded premise so grotesquely insinuates.
With a very broad, judgmental brush you paint people, however, your paint is stained with poison, and you are sick from overexposure. Truly, your premise and conclusion fall short of Godliness; you must recant. Please reconsider what you believe about a portion of God’s creation, and be so sure to ask the Creator to help you wheedle out this root of bitterness, which I might add, you keep well hidden behind eloquent speech that has the potential to trick the simple, and destroy you in the process.

Dear SIr,

I do not think that this man was downing white race only making an observation. I am 1/2 white & 1/2 cherokee. You are right the whites have made some good charitable & benevelent contributions, but also they have done some very cruel things. Not all whites are evil, but for some reason they feel this sense of entitlement. Look at the treatment of the slaves brought to america, look at the fate of the Native Americans on subhuman reservations, all white man generated. WHen caucasions go into a place they automatically feel it is theirs for the taking. I do not believe that the white man is the devil, but they need to take the resposibility of their past actions.

You really have a problem! Know what it is? That you are listening to the wrong source. What we take in, that's what we give out, but increased.
If you were in your right senses, you would've not repeated what that ignorant spreader of hatred taught in his book.
Any man without CHRIST is able and capable of doing evil. That's why in every nation, you find a police department and law enforcing authorities. It does not matter the color of the skin.
Look, your pal Osama sin madre is not white, but look at all the evil that he has done, taught, and promoted.
Look at the situation we are confronting in our Puerto Rico, where crime is rampant. It is not "the white man" who is doing it. It is puertoricans with all colors of skin. Look at South Africa, where the climate is not cold, but ever since the blacks raised to power, criminality has increased. Rapes, murder, robbery, and car-jackings are out of control. Do you know who's committing these crimes? Blacks! And they do it againts whites and blacks.
I used to drive a yellow cab in N.Y. and I was robbed with a gun to my head and a knife to my neck. Want to know who did it? Two puertoricans, who knew I am puertorican also.
Hector, wake up! Stop listening to Farrakhan and his cronies and listen to JESUS.

Yeah. What he said!

I know that islam is not such a popular thing these days, but the comments concerning the supriority of jesus demonstrates it's narcissic & triumphalistic roots. Christianity & it's doctrine is really roman pagan polytheisism at it's finast(just look at roman emporer constantine mixing of the jewish God & roman deities).Look at past political pervereness, the crusades, the church in the middle ages, the role of the church & it's codependence with the nazis to do in the Jews etc. Even today I am amazed at the nerve of the pope, jerry falwell or pat robertson trying to push christian agenda on the masses. I thank God everyday that christianity is not in power. I pray strictly to God & no one else. He is the ultimate judge not jesus or christians.
