The difference between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. was that Martin Luther King Jr. was a man, who delivered moving speeches about peace and goodness; he came from a family that was well known in Atlanta with loving parents. But Malcolm X was the complete opposite, he was about baring arms to fight for something, people didn’t know about him.

Its main objective was to try an end the political disenfranchisement of African Americans in the Deep South. As a result, the three organizations worked hard to establish Freedom Schools, providing education for African American children. Freedom Schools were often targets of white mobs as well as homes of local African Americans involved in the campaign. That summer 30 black homes and 37 black churches were firebombed. Over 80 volunteers were beaten by white mobs or racist police officers and three men, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan on 21st June, 1964.

Muslims have also witnessed a fierce debate over a Florida minister's threat to burn a Koran, as well as efforts in half a dozen U.S. states to ban the use of Muslim religious law on the pretext of a threat to the American legal system.
Again sadly people flip on the television; see the reports reporters found of Iraqis begging that we get out that we have only made things worse, they see that our government spends too much money on the war, and that x amount of soldiers died that day. Talk about only hearing one side of the story. Then these people go around and try and argue that one side completely oblivious to all the positive things we have done over there that really outweigh those negatives. Yeah life in Iraq is dangerous right now, but they don’t have a dictator running all over their country anymore. Yeah our government spent a lot of money last month on military expenses, but I say if money buys freedom then that’s money well spent.
