259. The Claimant’s third point was to cite the example of Malcolm X whom he termed “a martyr” and then purports to quote him: “He was a martyr, why? He stood up against oppression. Because the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: The best of Jihad, the greatest form of Jihad, is a word of truth, speaking the truth, before an oppressor ruler in front of a tyrant oppressive ruler. Malcolm X, AKA Malik Shahbaz, spoke the truth in front oppression, in front of tyranny in his time in America. … That he would charge the American Government of being the greatest oppressor on earth.
