The Untold Truth of Malcolm X: Hero or Radical? | Ali Salam

Who was the real Malcolm X? Was he the fiery Black nationalist portrayed in history books, or a global revolutionary whose true message was silenced? In this powerful episode of Irantalks, we go beyond the surface-level narratives to uncover the man, his mission, and the forces that led to his tragic death.
We are joined by Ali Salam, author of "Firmest Handle: Converts to Islam Who Became Martyrs," to dissect the complex legacy of Malcolm X. We explore his profound spiritual journey.
This discussion confronts the darkest questions head-on: Who was truly behind the Malcolm X assassination? Was it a simple act of revenge, or a coordinated plot involving the FBI's COINTELPRO? Furthermore, we examine his censored and controversial views on Zionism as a colonialist force and his efforts to build alliances with anti-colonial leaders in Palestine, Africa, and Iran. This is the story of Malcolm X that they don't want you to know.
