Michael Jackson and the Nation of Islam

I can't for the life of me , understand why people seen to dis-like even hate the NOI. When all they have ever tried to do is set and example of what can be done when people , any people come together for a righteous cause. I have not seen one person in this world other than members and ex- members of the NOI stand up for the rights of other blacks, hispanic, and poor whites in America. But at the same time risk death to make a point . But you have some coward with and ink pen sitting at his cozy desk , trying to beat up the people or person that will give up his life for change . There is not one person in this country other than NOI that have risk everything to bring about change in this country . From the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad to Farrakhan. But all we can do is sit back and criticize what they are doing and have done. If you can name me one group that has done and is doing what they do without weapons I will shutup and say no more .

Die in your rage and comfort , for Allah knows who is setting up freedom, justice , and equality .

Peace

To the anonymous commenter of 7/2/09: Are you honestly saying you have never seen even ONE PERSON outside the NOI stand up for the rights of blacks, hispanics, and poor whites? Not Dr. King? Not Andrew Young? Not James Lawson? Not even Aziz Poonawalla, the author of this blog you're commenting on? Not the National Organization of Women, or the Southern Poverty Law Center, or the American Civil Liberties Union?

There certainly are valid reasons to "dis-like" the NOI, but I'm fairly certain you would not be ready or willing to consider them... So, since I was born in Kansas, I will simply wish you peace upon your journey to find that wheel in the sky that keeps on turning....

Don't forget Malcolm X also stood up for his people but in the end he also envisioned this unity between white, black, and other races. Based on the trials and tribulations that Malcolm had to go through it seem to me that Malcolm really did not like the kind of message NOI were spreading at his time. As Malcolm said the true form of Islam is the Islam he saw in Mecca where Black and White were equal among each other.

My other question is this... Why do I always hear "Black Community" from NOI??? I feel that we are still racist in these times. I don't hear white man in some organization or event called "White Community".

Not to stretch the topic too far. Prophet Muhammad SAW (PBUH) (this doesn't apply to you grant I'm sure you have your own faith but as far as faiths go with NOI this is what I have to say) said that there will be no other prophets after him. He is the last prophet and that Jesus will return to this world and bring peace and harmony and than the world will reach an end. As far as Nation of Islam goes it is something created to bring blacks together and create this leadership that have other ill agendas and intentions.

I'm sorry friend but NOI believes in this:

On March 11, 1984 Farrakhan said: "Hitler was a very great man. He wasn't great for me as a Black man but he was a great German and he rose Germany up from the ashes of her defeat by the united force of all of Europe and America after the First World War." A decade later, Farrakhan would reiterate the claim that Hitler was a "great man".

On June 24, 1984, he said: "Now, that nation of Israel never has had any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name."

^^^ And other than Iran's President... 99% of the Muslim population that follow the traditional path of Islam do not admire Hitler and what they did to the Jews.

Have a great time.

This is a very sad read. Firstly Moe I think I remember the Quote being that Hitler was a great man , but wickedly great. Funny you would leave that out. Second, is there no racism in this socalled "PURE" LOL Islam.My friend there is no such animal.Visit the Mid East and see for yourself. Lastly keep believing in your fairytales your jesus returning to life after death, moses parting a sea with a stick,muhammah with birds dropping fireballs on the opposing army. Talk about comic relief.
