Message of Concern: Removal of All Images That Attempt To Portray Divine

Removal of All Images That Attempt To Portray Divine IMAGERY AND COLOR SYMBOLISM Imam W. Deen Mohammed has written about religious imagery and about the use of symbols. In a 1975 article, he explored the profound latent effects of images in religion. In 1976 the Bilalian News (later known as Muslim Journal) began carrying an article by him on the effects of racial imagery in religion "A Message of Concern." In 1977 Imam Mohammed began teaching "The meaning of colors in Scripture and the Natural Powers of Black and White". He described and explained ancient scriptural symbolism and its effect on modern day scriptural and religious interpretation. He also elaborated on how colors in scripture have triggered racist influences in religious societies. He formed the Committee For The Removal of All Images That Attempt to Portray The Divine (C.R.A.I.D.).
