ATH: 4,000 years of Progress in 40 years

"In about 40 years we have gone up across a territory of struggle, human and community achievement, that measures, in ordinary history of community development, the span of about 4000 years. We have been brought up the ladder of human and community evolution over a period of about 40 years that equals 4,000 years in the rise of others civilized communities. Look at where the Germanic tribes came from; the life, the civilized evolution that they have experienced from the days of their wildest savage life. Don't you know they used to be called vandals and that's where we get the term “vandal” from those wild Germanic tribes that came out of the wilds of Europe." Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra) From page 215 (published in 1980) "As The Light Shineth From The East"
