Napoleon Bonaparte said, if we want to avoid the cannon shots, first we must deal with the pin pricks that precede the cannon shots.
Very smart man.
Anyone remember this man?

A friend of the Nation of Islam knocked on my door 25 years ago and took me to meet Elijah Muhammad's oldest son.
[What happened to Wallace Fard?
In 1934 he disappeared without a trace. Members of the movement believe Fard to be the incarnation of Allāh, and his birthday, February 26, is observed as Saviour's Day.]
Wallace came over to my apartment in Detroit one more time and asked me if I wanted meet some people for lunch.
Lunch was at the home of two elder sisters of Nation of Islam. Keep in mind, I am nothing more than a working poor nearly deaf white man, and they treated me with the upmost respect.
Of course, I have zero knowledge of what's proper, or not. From the moment Wallace and I entered the Sisters' home, to when we left, Wallace graciously told me what to expect, and the proper etiquette.
Men and women ate separately, and yes, fruit.
After lunch, I was asked if I would like to watch a video. Ok. They picked out an old Louis Farakan Saviour's Day speech on VHS.
That's it. Never seen them again.
I am very honored to have had lunch that day with them.
This is how one is supposed to live.
Peace.
What's that Muslim phrase with the word peace in it?
