Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“No government shall impose a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person residing in or confined to an institution ... even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the government demonstrates that imposition of the burden on that person— (A) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and (B) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“who separated the world’s population into three categories: the Five Percent, the Ten Percent, and the Eighty-Five Percent. According to Elijah Muham mad, the Ten Percent teach the Eighty-Five Percent to believe in the existence of a “mystery God” and thereby keep the Eighty-Five Percent enslaved by having them worship something that they cannot see.... Muhammad characterized the remaining Five Percent as the poor, righteous teachers who do not believe in the teachings of the Ten Percent and instead teach the identity of the true and living God, as well as freedom, justice, and equality to all human families of the planet earth.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Panayoty v. Annucci“The 120 Degrees are lessons arranged in a question and answer format that represent the teachings of NOI founder Master Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad. The Supreme Alphabet and Supreme Mathematics assign a word to each letter of the alphabet (almost all of which begin with the letter to which they correspond) and ten “righteous” principles to each number from 0 to 9. They are used as keys “to understanding] man’s relationship to the universe and Islam,” as well as to understanding and interpreting the 120 Degrees.”
