Lately, I've been reading about Islam/Malcolm X, and I've learned a lot about The Black Man's history. The Muslim religion ( I've been raised Christian) teaches about a man named Malik Yacub. I would have to go on forever if I wanted to tell you completely about his story, but to sum it up briefly, Yacub was the prophet claimed to have "created" the white race. His existence was predestined, as Muslims believe that history is always predicted something like 25, 000 years in advance, as written in the Koran. ALSO predicted was that the white race would "rule" for 4000 years, and that their "time" would be up in 1914 (roughly).
So my question is, in this song, where Bob says:
"How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Some say that it's part of it,
We've got to fulfill the book."
What Book? Was he talking about the Muslim theory? What are your interpretations of this passage? It makes great sense to me why he'd say "some", since he wasn't Muslim.
