Reading Response to Malcolm X — Anthony Clement

But then, when I was the personification of evil, I was going through it. Again, again, I would force myself back down into the praying-to-Allah posture. When finally I was able to make myself stay down — I didn’t know what to say to Allah”(Paragraph 9)
