32. Did you know???
Black Muslims in America have traded their white American slave name in for an Arabic name? Arabs who now occupy North African nations such as Libya, and others, are invaders of the African continent and originate from Noah’s youngest son Shem, father of the s(he)emite peoples.

33. Whereas,
Black Africans are descendants of Noah’s second son, Ham, father of the black races. Arabs invaded North Africa some 600 years after Christ’s resurrection and they now call themselves Egyptians.

34. Therefore,
African-Americans who have converted to the Nation of Islam have exchanged their white slave name in for an Arabic one. Arabs are descendants of Abraham from the line of Shem, whereas black people are descendants of Ham through the line of Ham.
