The bizarre teachings of the Nation of Islam, a 20th Century religion founded by a white man named Wallace Fard during the 1930s in Detroit, Michigan, is analyzed. Fard had been released from San Quentin Prison after serving 3 years on a drug trafficking charge & came to Detroit as a door to door salesman but soon claimed to be the "Supreme Ruler of the Universe." He passed himself off to Black Americans as a mystic and a prophet from the Middle East & soon had a following of 8000 strong which began the "Nation of Islam." An unemployed Georgia migrant worker, Elijah Poole, was renamed "Elijah Muhammad" by Fard. Then, in 1934, Fard himself mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again, & Elijah Muhammad became his successor for the next 41 years. He taught that even though Fard was believed to be Allah in human form, when Fard died, Allah did not die. God then manifested Himself in Elijah Muhammad who was revealed to be the "Messiah" of the Jews. |
