Finals thoughts on the book
Overall, I'm excited to read the epilogue and see Alex Haley's perspective on writing the book. I really enjoyed learning about Malcolm X and the religion he stood for, the rights and wrongs of it, and how he truly devoted his life to what he believed in. I hope to one day feel so strongly and passionate about something as Malcolm X felt for the Nation is Islam. The book was very well put together and I'm curious to know is Alex Haley will reminisce on the death of Malcolm X and how exactly it happened, otherwise I'll definitely research more about his death and after life. I am also curious more about Allah and why now in today's society, Allah Akbar is something that isn't really aceccpted to say out loud nowadays and isn't really spoken about as much at least in my generation, it isn't reflected upon or taught to us, about what it is and the importance, I think it was intriguing and cool to being to learn about.

This is an interesting response, Catherine. "Allahu Akbar!" means "God is the greatest!" There is nothing wrong about the saying. It's true that some suicide terrorists have shouted this saying before blowing themselves up, but that doesn't change the meaning of the phrase for most Muslims.
