The Quran has arguments for every occasion. The Quran gives us laws that a Muslim observes not out of force from government but out of the force of conviction of faith. Whatever country you live in, there are laws. And the laws of the country are of no value unless they are enforced by those who have the law to enforce, and a citizen of the country should be respectful of those laws. So America says: we are not a government of men, we are a government of laws. And it is law that orders the society. This is a different experiment in Iran. If you live under the Shah, you didn’t live under the laws of Quran. I was a Christian and I still love my Christian family and roots. I—[translator respectfully interrupts to translate the above]. In the Nation of Islam in America, we have laws. We who believe in Allah and believe in the Prophet Muhammad and believe in our Teacher, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, and believe in Quran, we try our best to live those laws—not by force of government but by the force of our faith. So when you break the law, there are those who enforce the law; we try our best to live our law because that is what protects the society that we have. I have watched in the Muslim world when we try to impose Sharia on a people that have lived under western influence, we sometimes do not realize you have to give a people who have lived a reckless, ‘free’ life [the] time to reform. So our Teacher taught us so beautifully and he punished us when we broke the law—not with physical harm, but he deprived us of the right to be in our society for a time of 90 days, a year if it’s adultery. But the whole idea was, to bring us up so that the law is not a burden—we learn to love being righteous. And I pray, I pray that in the exercise of law, we do not misuse our power and authority then we become tyrants. So there’s a delicate balance that has to be achieved.
