It's not Islam, it's the NATION OF ISLAM.   The Nation of Islam has nothing to with mainstream Islam. It's rather a cultic bastardization of Islam.  These are two totally different things.  Do your homework on the matter, dude.  I did. No offense intended here.  The NOI does not represent mainstream Muslims any more than the Klan represents mainstream Christians. That's a FACT, not just my opinion.

NOI was Malcolm X's lot originally I thought. Nation Of Islam is slightly different to all Islam.

Interesting site but I can still see DB's point.

I think this is a odd site (did you read his "Mission Statement"), I'm not even sure if this isn't a fringe Scientologists site, especially when he starts talking about "Torquemada Miscavige, leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Scientology".

I've not seen anything else about this (blog is dated July last year) and I hold a particular interest in the group (Scientologists) since almost being dragged into their midsts one drunken evening walking round Brighton (UK) (another story another day).

The NOI is waaaay different from traditional Islam, not just slightly different.  Again: do your homework, I did.  No offense.  And yes, Malcolm X was involved in the NOI, but later left it after visiting Mecca, discovering "real Islam", and realizing that Elijah Muhammad was a hypocrite and an adulterer.  That's why they assassinated him.

What the fuck is your point? You see things like this I am going to quote are example of any either are bad news


Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful.   And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone.  But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)

This aggression will not stand!

Doh!

This is why we had so much trouble with your forces in Korea.

Actually that is true there was an incident where the British radioed in saying they were having "a bit of bother", the US troops thought "No real problem there", when the British were actually being over run by the enemy.

I point out a fact of the book and you can only harp on some difference... DUH they are too different sects like Orthodoxy vs Baptist. Cam well be sure the difference means squat to those on the receiving end of Islam shite. Seen many bids of UK dealing with being over runned with being told they are scum.

No, they are not two different sects.  Shia and Sunni are two different sects.  The Nation of Islam is a cultic bastardization of Islam; in other words, the NOI is an Islam-based cult, just like the Ahmadiyya and the Mujahedin e-khalq

These (Islam and the NOI) are two totally different things.  Do your homework on the matter, dude.  I did. No offense intended here.  The NOI does not represent mainstream Muslims any more than the Klan represents mainstream Christians.

Lets be honest the worrying thing is the Scientologists merging with the Nation Of Islam.

Not which particular flavour is represented.

I still think this may be a bit of a fringe COS sight because he is trying to say there is value in some of what the COS says, but still slag off their new leader. And read his bio (Miscavige) on the COS sight, it goes on for pages.

Perhaps, but The Nation of Islam believes they ARE Islamic and authentic Muslims. Who are we to say they are not? Your comment of "The NOI does not represent mainstream Muslims any more than the Klan represents mainstream Christians" doesn't prove anything and is merely abstract.

Having read things by Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X / Malik Shabazz (not to be confused with Malik Zulu Shabazz), and having known a NOI man, I've learned that NOI are a very Afrocentric version of Islam.

The reason Iconocclesiastes has a point is that although NOI says they are peaceful, Wallace Fard Muhammad asserted that white people are devils created by Yakub (Jacob) and that Yakub and his white devils regularly killed dark babies. White devils cannot follow Allah because they are inherently evil.

This isn't in line with mainstream Islam that would allow anyone to convert. That's why when Malcolm X was on his pilgrimage (Elijah and Farrakhan tried to talk him out of it) he saw a Scandinavian Muslim. He returned, calling them liars.

It's a strange story. They're based on Islam but have changed it around. So I'm not saying they definitely are not Muslim, but they've distorted it a fair bit.

While I agree that Islam is pure paraquat I must point out that so is Christianity / Judaism.
The bible is full of entreaties to murder non believers.
Such as
Quote
Deuteronomy 17
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant; 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel; 17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
