National Black News Service
NEW YORK - One of the
leaders of the Black Muslims,
has insisted that the organiza
tion IS not in financial trouble
as some newspaper accounts
have charged and asserted that
the Nation of Islam’s temples
have not become 'a repository
of crime. ■
Responding to an article in
the New York Times by Wash
ington reporter Paul Delaney,
Louis Farrakhan, the national
representative of Elijah Mu-
hammed, ^e leader of the
Black Muslims, said the article
in the Times that said the
nation was in "deep trouble"
made ' a mockery of Muham
mad’s noble efforts to get the
black man to do for self."
In his article, Delaney had
said that:
"The Nation of Islam Is in
deep trouble, reeling from fin
ancial difficulties and a change
of direction that has led some
of its followers back into the
life of crime from which many
of them were recruited."
But Farrakhan countered by
saying, "If you say we are in
financial trouble, then check
our records, we are running
our businesses."
He also said the group "can
not be held responsible for any
deviation from the divine law
of God of any of its members."
in referring lo charges of crime
within the organization.
