4 areas (Malaysia, Pakistan, the Southern Sudan, & Northern Nigeria) are considered re the position of Christian minorities esp as influenced by the former British imperial philosophy of the State & its proper relation to minorities. Malaysia & Pakistan are both self-defined as Islamic nations in their constitutions while guaranteeing persons of other relig's the right to practice their relig, but their positions differ in flexibility & tolerance. Sudan & Nigeria are less definitely committed to the Islamic world. Nigeria is divided by conflict between the `Islamic North' & the `Christian South'; whether she will adopt the flexible liberalism of Pakistan or the inflexible rigidity of Malaysia remains to be seen. Relig liberty is discussed esp re works of Lord Acton & C. de Albornoz. M. Farber.

A discussion of the Black Muslim movement in the US. It is seen that, despite the fear of the white power structure, the movement does not pose a real threat, for there is nothing in the present Muslim program which is violently aggressive. What they are expressing is disillusionment with the 'fulfillment of Amer promise' & a desire for access to scarce values which have been denied them. What the movement has done is to reinterpret Amer Mc values, & to provide the Negro member with a sense of identity, respectability, & acceptance. D. Coooerman.
