Minister Farrakhan responds to the lifting of the ban in the UK (CHICAGO)--On behalf of all of the Muslim followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in the United States and in the United Kingdom, and, on behalf of all of those who love truth and seek justice, we give praise and thanks first and foremost to Almighty (God) Allah, for, we believe it was He who put it in the heart of my U.K. Representative, Minister Hilary Muhammad and the believers to sacrifice and hire a wonderful group of Barristers (attorneys) who were willing to take this case. We also believe it was Allah (God) who guided the attorneys and we believe it was Allah (God) who touched the heart of the judge to render a just decision which is 15 years overdue. We thank all of those who worked so hard to achieve this great victory. As Muslims, we take victory and defeat with humility, always recognizing the greatness of Allah (God) and our complete dependence on Him for a favorable outcome to any situation in which we are involved. I look forward in the very near future to visit the United Kingdom to meet the Muslim followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the wider Muslim community, as well as the people of the United Kingdom. |
