Brother Malcolm quote and Islam

[alghayb]

Brother Malik El Shabazz has stated that...

"There is nothing in our book, the Qur'an, that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone lays a hand on you, send him to the cemetery. That's a good religion." - Malik El Shabazz (Malcolm X), WUST Radio Station interview for the programme 'Focus', Washington, D.C. May 12th 1963

I understand that in Islam we have recipricol pubishment, Al-Qisâs, the Law of Equality in punishment, eye for an eye, etc. as long as it does not mean committing a Haram act by transcending the limits set by Allah.

However, the brother states in the quote above something rather different, namely if someone touches or offends you, kill him.

Was he wrong in this statement? Am I reading it wrong?

I would appreciate some help in the matter to understand fully.

lol nah brother. I think he meant it as a hyperbole (or exaggeration in speech). He uses those alot. for example, "I'll punch you so hard, your daddy will feel it." :D

He's just trying to encourage self-defense, which is a key part of Islam.
