"The greatest affliction to strike the nation of Islam came from some of its own sons, who were lured by the devil," he said. "They have called the nation infidel, they have shed protected blood and they have spread vice on earth, with explosions and destruction and killing of innocents."

I don't think it is directed at a non-muslim audience, which is why I see it in a positive light.
This speech reinforces to me the notion that Islam in itself is not the problem, but rather, the religious extremists who are painting the religion, in his words, as "terrorists and backward".
