I would like to say to this gentleman And all other people who are not blessed with melanin At this point in time to understand that What has happened in our history is that You have been misinformed as much as we have been misinformed. Much of the information that is brought forth, Not only from Doctor Mohammed, but other areas, Other scholars, are not available to you as a sister said In your curriculum that you've had for 400 years When you did not allow us to read and write, it was being hidden. Whether you, sir, personally did that or not, It was a legacy that was passed onto you. And I end by saying the Holocaust Is simply the greatest atrocity on film. Ours was not filmed.
