ity of Islam. This must ne¬
cessarily be so, since the in¬
tegrity of any Muslim Society is
secured by the idea of the final¬
ity of prophethood.
‘‘This religious cult penetrat¬
ed into the Afro-American So¬
ciety posing as Muslims. They
propogate their views in the
name of Islam. They start
controversies everywhere, carry
on proselytizing propaganda in
an aggressive manner and con¬
tinuously strive to swell their
numbers at the expense of Ls-
lam. The very corner-stone of
Islam, universal brotherhood of
man, black as well as white, has
been turned into hatred by
them—attempting to make a
travesty of that great Faith.
“ThLs is not to say that this
religious cult has no right to
exist; on the contrary, they
have every right to exist. Our
grievance is that the American
public has been led to believe,
intentionally or un-intentional-
ly, that this religious cult Is a
nart of the more than 500,000
Mjuslims throughout the world.
By applying the name “Muslim”
or “Moslem” (Westernized pro¬
nunciation) to them in news
stories, an opprobrious and in¬
sidious stigma has been attach¬
ed to the more than 200,000
Muslims who reside in the
United States . . . this is a great
injustice.
“We, as Muslims, seek no spe¬
cial privileges. We ask only
that the same courtesy be ex¬
tended to us that is extended
to numerous other religious
groups. That is. when news
stories concerning this religious
cult are released or published,
refrain from using the term
“Muslim” or “Moslem” in refer¬
ring to them. If this cannot
. qualify the use of
the term. Only by an un-am-
biguous and un-equivocal use
and qualification of these terms
can the stigma which has been
attached to the religion of Is¬
lam and its members be remov¬
ed.”
