The Black Muslims present a
serious problem. It is not mini-

realistic warning of the exist-

sity of Islam is conducted here.
The movement claims that
it is not anti-Semitic, yet all
indications are that the Black
Muslims are prejudiced
against and jealous of Jews.
As Dr. Lincoln explains their
attitude: "The Jew clings to

he is persecuted by other
white men. The Anglo-Saxon
looks down on the Jew. The
Jew hates the Anglo-Saxon

Dr. Lincoln describes its view
as being that "America's so-
called Negroes are the 'Last
Nation of Islam in North Amer-
ica' "; that "the Original Man is,
by declaration of Allah himself,
`none other than Black Man.' "
Dr. Lincoln .continues to analyze
their views, stating:
`‘`They must never be aggres-
sors, but 'it is a Divine Law for
us to defend ourselves if at-
tacked.' Indeed, if Jesus had
