| We, the Muslims who follow The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, believe whole-heartedly in the God of justice. We believe in the Creator, whose divine power and laws of justice created and sustain the universe. We believe in the all-wise Supreme Being: the great God who is called "Jehovah" by the monotheistic Hebrews. We do not believe in the Trinity (or "plurality of gods") as advocated by the Polytheistic Christians. We who are Muslims call God by his true name: Allah, the great God of the Universe, the Lord of all the worlds, the Master of the Day of Judgement. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that Allah is the true name of the divine Supreme Being, and that Islam is an Arabic word which means complete submission to God's will, or obedience to God's guidance. We who are Muslims believe in this religion that is described in the Arabic language by the word "Islam." This religion, Islam, teaches us submission to God's will and obedience to God's guidance. It gives us the moral discipline that makes it easy for us to walk the path of truth and righteousness. "Muslim" is an Arabic word, and it describes a person whose religion is Islam. A Muslim is one who practices complete submission and obedience to God's will. Here in America the word "Muslim" is westernized or anglicized and pronounced "Moslem." Muslim and Moslem are actually the same word. The true believers in Allah call themselves Muslims, but the nonbelieving infidels refer to Muslims as Moslems or Muhammadans -Analysis In his speech "God's Judgement of White America," Malcolm X conveys a very inflammatory tone against Christianity. Malcolm X comments that Muslims "do not believe in the Trinity (or "plurality of gods") as advocated by the Polytheistic Christians" directly implying that Christianity is based on blasphemy. He goes on to comment that "Allah" is the true name for the Supreme Being refuting all other monotheistic religion's belief in another name. He declares that the word "Islam" means the complete submission to God's will implying that it is the only religion that truly does so. He then makes a highly controversial statement when he states that any person who mispronounced the word Muslim is a "nonbelieving infidel." MLA Malcolm X.
