MILWAUKEE—On a warm and sunny Sunday morning, Student Minister Nuri Muhammad of Mosque No. 74, in Indianapolis, recently spoke at Mosque No. 3 in Milwaukee and delivered a timely message rooted in the Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad as taught by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
“Ending the Willie Lynch Curse” was his topic for the Sept. 14 message. Student Min. Nuri said he was honored to be at the new mosque building, where a standing-room-only audience of 170 people listened to the message. When asked if they were familiar with Willie Lynch, most audience members raised their hands.
Willie Lynch was reportedly a White slaveowner who delivered a speech on the bank of the James River in the colony of Virginia in 1712 to teach his methods to slave owners based on the differences among enslaved people so they may be exploited and controlled for generations.
Student Min. Nuri also spoke on why pork is forbidden to consume and why Black people should stay away from it. “In Deuteronomy 14:8, it says it is forbidden to eat the swine flesh and its dead carcass,” he stated, referencing a Bible verse.
The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that the pig was grafted from the rat, cat and dog. Student Min. Nuri called a pork-filled diet a slave diet and explained that such a diet is labeled “soul food.”
“[Our] Soul is the essence of (Allah) God developed in a human being. You can’t feed the soul of God with physical food. You feed the soul of God with the spirit of God,” he said.
