When I read and see some interviews with people like him, it's interesting to me how Islam was seen - not very long ago - as some self-determination movement for black people. (Malcolm X, and all that.) It makes sense to me of course, but it's still interesting to see Islam being perceived totally differently today, just a few decades later. If you hear someone mention today that he wants to make "islamic nation", your mind goes to what is happening in Middle-East right now.
