Especially when that verifiable truth clashes with the lies that were told to so many members of the NOI by its top leaders. I find that when the truth is spoken to many members of the Nation of Islam (NOI) in the most respectful way, they get angry. MANY WHO PROMOTE CHRISTIANITY ARE NOT SQUEAKY CLEAN EITHER So for those of you who want to set up a straw man argument as if it is, not here, not today. Nor is this article a banner for Christianity. Keep in mind this is not a comparison between Islam and Christianity nor an indictment against Islam. I have also listened to Malcolm x after he reached his last point of enlightenment while still alive. In addition, I have listened to dozens of speeches by both Elijah Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan, some of which is fact and some which is not. Make no mistake however because I am well read on Islam and the NOI, having read the Quran, the Hadith and Message to the Black Man, all more than once. Just study your doctrine, think for yourself and know your Creator, not just what man tells you. But my friends don’t have to think like me. I am skilled in theology, phonetics and etymology, to name a few. In case you are wondering, I am a firmly rooted believer in God, the Christ, the Bible (especially before the King James version) and the New Covenant. Those of you who are angered by the truth can camouflage your anger by saying that I am judging, but I neither created the facts, nor the evidence nor the truth. I have found that to be the case with Elijah Muhammad and so did Malcolm X who both went to Mecca and understood Arabic very well.ĬLICK THIS LINK THEN COME BACK TO FINISH THE ARTICLE That is a problem because it could reflect a hidden or personal agenda separate and apart from the books they say they believe in. Sometimes instead these leaders have been caught teaching something their book does not teach. And that may be true sometimes, but not always. A cop-out excuse would be to say “you just don’t understand it”. Are you afraid to do that? And when the teachings of these leaders contradicts the book they follow or what they say is not in the books they follow, I can say either say their book is wrong or the teacher is wrong. I am none o the above but I can test what I hear and the leaders who say it in light of the very books they use and say they believe. But do not assume this basic analysis is the extent of my knowledge about NOI or Islam.ĭuring the course of reading this article, you may want to say I am judging. And while this is not a judgment on their beliefs, I want to examine the thoughts, statements and actions of the Nation of Islam in some small way in this article. I have come to know that these two groups are very different, though they refer to the same book – the Quran. However I have friends who are both Muslim and members of the Nation of Islam. My differences with Islam are vast but I respect those who will at least closely follow the Quran. If the “Prophet Muhammad” was alive, he would tell you that. Islam started with Muhammad, not with Abraham and not from the beginning. ( ) I am not a Muslim and no we all are not Muslims if we submit to God.
