What made Eldridge Cleaver leave Islam..?

..and become a "former Muslim"?

"If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I *myself and other former Muslims* can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America."

    Changing religion is not new. ;)

    Let's look at his quote again-

    "If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism,..

    He should've insert 'Muslim' before the word 'man'. Even without that, we all know Malcolm X a Muslim. ;)

    and what he did?

    ".. repudiate racism,.."

    What he meant was - Extreme change.

    "... if young whites can change, then there is hope for America."

    Results? A black man as president. ;)

    This remind me of the late MJ. Changed his skin colour from black to white. Why? hmm....

    Edit: @ NOUN

    your Caps Lock is on. Just so you know. Perhaps you got a faulty keyboard. Its time to Change. ;)

    HE WAS NOT A MUSLIM. HE WAS MEMBER OF RACIST ORGANIZATION CALLED "NATION OF ISLAM" HEADED BY ELIJAH MUHAMMAD. NOW IT IS HEADED BY LOUIS FARAKHAN.

    MALCOLM X WAS MEMBER OF NATION OF ISLAM AND THEN HE CHANGED TO REAL ISLAM.
