Islam and the Blackamerican: Looking Toward the Third Resurrection
by Sherman A. Jackson
Sherman Jackson on Islam from a paper titled Jihad and the Modern World
As for non-Muslims, they will have to make a more conscious and sustained effort to conduct
their military, economic and political affairs in a fashion that actually confirms the new world
order of the United Nations Charter, by respecting the dignity and territorial integrity of Muslim
and other nations, including variations on what the U.N. Charter refers to as “Trust Territories.”
They will have to refrain from acting in a manner that expresses or implies aggression and pushes
the world back toward the dark ages of the “state of war.” For under the latter condition, the
aggressive jihad of the premodern world will find both practical justification and religious
sanction.
