Ramadan-November 2001
This article is about the month of fasting for the Muslims. It includes the history of the true Muslim religion in Islam and brief excerpts from Malcom X, a Sunni Muslim, after he returned from his trip to Mecca (Mekkah). Perhaps, this was the reason he was killed. It is in no way associated to the militant message of Mr. Farrakahn but includes the difference in the Nation of Islam's beliefs and the Orthodox Muslim belief's. It is the story of Mohammed, a prophet who lived in the seventh century and worshiped Allah (God)and his followers.
