Civil Rights Act and Malcolm X - SHOCKER

Post by Coldoon »

Could Malcolm X's trip to Mecca, witnessing diversity between all colors, races, ethnicities, nationalities and true brotherhood correspond to America' sudden change towards "equalizing" all people in America in it's Civil Rights Act of 1964?

Malcolm X went to Mecca in April 1964.
In April 1964, Malcolm X began his Hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca required of every Muslim who is able) by flying to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
After 2 months, in July 1964, the Civil Rights Act legislation was passed/enacted.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) was a landmark piece of legislation in the United States[1] that outlawed major forms of discrimination against racial, ethnic, national and religious minorities, and women.
If you really think about it, Malcolm X came back to America and told about his experience of the Hajj and how Islam abolished all forms of segregation and discrimination. Many American didn't know about the real Islam and they were baffled to find out that Malcolm X, a once hardcore Racist fanatic came back from Mecca as a new man. The US Government, knowing fully what Malcolm X would say about his experience, immediately changed it's domestic policies and amended it's Constitution. :? Was this a coincidence or a deliberate act to blind the masses about the true teachings of Islam?

Had the Civil Rights Act not been passed and America would've continued to be on the same path prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, many Americans would have most likely embraced Islam, after witnessing the brotherhood, tolerance and diversity in Islam.

Malcolm X (AUN), talks about his experience in Mecca/Hajj. The person talking isn't Malcolm X, but he's reading what Malcolm X wrote.

It was coincidental i think. The status quo was difficult to maintain and change was due. With the civil rights act in place, racism didn't change at all at the cultural level anyway. It was institutional racism that got axed only. America realized democratic ideals didn't sit well with institutional racism and bigotry. The world saw the double standard. Malcolm X represents the iconic figures in islam who lived as an example of how faith changes people and their views once they taste its sweetness in their heart.
