MALCOLM X: Oxford Union Debate


http://... read once, passingly, about a man named Shakespeare. I only read about him passingly, but I remember one thing he wrote that kind of moved me. He put it in the mouth of Hamlet, I think, it was, who said, "To be or not to be." He was in doubt about something. Whether it was nobler in the mind ofman to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, moderation, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them. And I go for that. If you take up arms, you'll end it, but if you sit around and wait for the one who's in power to make up his mind that he should end it, you'll be waiting a long time. And in my opinion, the young generation of whites, blacks, browns, whatever else there is, you're living at a time of extremism, a time of revolution, a time when there's got to be a change. People in power have misused it and now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built and the only way it's going to be built is with extreme methods. And I, for one, will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this earth."

dale1966gto, The reason the west is soo succesfull is, is because they are just when it comes to their people. Our prophet told us, you guys would be big. Our prophet also said:When a non-believing goverment is just, Allah has mercy with them and when a muslim goverment is NOT just, Allah wont have mercy with them.And obviously in most cases the west these days is more just that is the reason you guys still stand. As soon as you give up justice, you are gone. Has nothing to do w colour
