Elijah Muhammad is arguably the most significant figure in the history of Islam in the United States.

Successor to W. D. Fard, the founder of the Nation of Islam, and a mentor to Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad led the Nation of Islam for over forty years.In Elijah Muhammad and Islam, Herbert Berg focuses on Elijah Muhammad's religiosity, which is frequently brought into question as the authenticity of the Nation of Islam as "truly Islamic" remains hotly debated.

To better comprehend this powerful and controversial figure, Berg contextualizes Elijah Muhammad and his religious approach within the larger Islamic tradition, exploring his use of the Qur'an, his interpretation of Islam, and his relationships with other Muslims.

Above all, Berg seeks to understand—not define or label—Muhammad as a Muslim. To do otherwise, he argues, is to misunderstand and distort the man, his teachings, his movement, and his legacy.

Every Israeli Accusation Is A Confession

“Hamas radicalizes their kids to hate and kill Jews”

No. It’s the opposite: Every Israeli accusation is a confession.

I have no words. Israel is cruel and inhumane.

I want you to know Malcom X hated Israel along with most people during the civil rights movement

"Most people during the civil rights movement" except for Martin Luther King and his family, Bayard Rustin, A. Phillip Randolph, Rosa Parks, John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, and hundreds of others, you mean?

Basically all activists involved in the civil rights movement respected Jews and Israel. You are of course permitted to ignore them in favor of faketivists who raise awareness on OF.

As for Malcolm X, there's a lot about him if you check the comments / reblogs; basically, he was extremely antisemitic for most of his life because that was the doctrine that the Nation Of Islam cult preaches. After going to Mecca and getting a taste of non-culty Islam, he changed his mind about Jews and apologized, then NOI killed him.

The Cities Of Palestine Before Colonization

Zionist's described Palestine as "A land without a people for a people without a land".

When European Jews were allowed to reside in Palestine by the Palestinian population, who were there for thousands of years, they began to massacre, Ethnically Cleanse them and change the names of their cities to hide their War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.

you know, i can handle a little bit of fun "Nandor is dumb" talk, but i have a net-zero tolerance for any implication that Nandor is not educated.

Nandor would have been incredibly educated in his lifetime.

even (or especially) as a soldier in the Islamic World. being a soldier was more like getting sent to boarding school that's also a military camp. they weren't just concerned with creating loyal fodder for war. they were building the next government officials, generals, accountants, advisors, etc. it was important that young men knew how to read, write, speak multiple languages, learn philosophy...sometimes even studying art and music was mandatory.

if he was nobility (and its most likely he was), take all that shit and multiply it exponentially. Nandor would have been reading Plato at the same age most people are still potty training. he would have been specifically groomed in such a way to not be just a brilliant strategist and warrior, but also diplomate and ambassador of literally the center of scientific and cultural excellence of the age.

so like yeah, he can be a big dummy sometimes, sure. but that bitch is probably more educated than any of us will ever be.

PSA re: “Yakub”

I’ve been seeing some White people start using “Yakub” or “Yakubian” as a jokey way to poke fun at their own Whiteness, so just an fyi, yes it’s ridiculous that there are people who believe the whole “Yakub made White people” thing, but it isn’t just like a silly funny quirky wacky crazy fringe belief about White folks that’s ultimately harmless to use because it’s “punching up” or self-deprecating; it’s a pretty directly antisemitic conspiracy theory that comes from the hate group & cult Nation of Islam, centered around blaming the patriarch of the Jewish people for all the evils of the world:

Please do not perpetuate this libel, even as a “joke”.

Honestly, I'm more concerned that this man is a middle school teacher, like why are they letting this man within five meters of a child daily?
