This is very sad because the masses of our people are suffering," said [Louis Farrakhan], when asked about [Abraham H. Foxman]'s comments. "It's not about Mr. Foxman. It's not about the ADL. It is about the mass suffering of the masses of our people, and we are coming together not against this one or that one, but we are coming together on one solid principle: that no individual can rise above the condition of his people," he said. Earlier this month, [Russell Simmons] fired off a letter to Foxman, which was posted in a blog on a website started by commentator Arianna Huffington. In the letter, Simmons urged Foxman to refrain from pressuring African-American leaders to denounce Minister Farrakhan and the Millions More Movement. "This commemoration is a real opportunity for establishing...
[Malcolm X] was on the fringes on the March on Washington," says Karl Evanzz, author of "The Messenger," which chronicles the lives of [Wallace D. Fard]'s protege Elijah Muhammad, his followers, Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. "He was shocked that so may people turned out. It was a wake-up call. He thought the NOI should get active and make a coalition with the Civil Rights Movement. He realized the power that Dr. King had. And that he was too boxed in. What Malcolm said was that "the chickens had come home to roost" after [Kennedy]'s assassination, and Elijah punished him by forbidding him to speak publicly for "no definite time set." But in a May 1964 interview with A.B. Spellman for The Monthly Review, Malcolm said that obstacles were put in his path by those who were jealous of his...
Reasons for the visit were described as "diplomatic" by the Navajo Nation press office. [Louis Farrakhan] met with President [Joe Shirley] on Tuesday, July 18. He inquired about "Navajo life, government, politics, culture and belief." When he spoke to the summer session of the tribal council on Wednesday, July 19, Farrakhan emphasized the similarities between the "black and red nations," stating that "Here we are today with common problems, and, really, a common destiny. On the outside, this visit was touted as "diplomatic" in nature. However, inside the tribal halls, political agendas were quietly being mused. President Shirley is up for reelection in the Fall, and has stated his intention to secure a $500 million no-interest loan from the United States government to take care of a lo...
[Min]. Tony Muhammad of the West Coast Nation of Islam, received the award, which was for supporting and establishing programs based on [L. Ron Hubbard]'s works in the ministers' own religious organizations, on Min. [Louis Farrakhan]'s behalf. Hubbard's technology in treating inner city ills has been championed since 1992 by Rev. Johnson, whose Compton-based center has been training personnel from the Nation of Islam and AME churches. Having utilized Hubbard's work to turn around gangbangers, criminals, drug abusers and drug dealers in Compton, Rev. Johnson brought Hubbard's technology to the attention of Min. Farrakhan. The ministers have put aside differences in religion to work together to salvage the people in their communities. "I don't think we have an option, as men of God mean s...
More to the point, it's hard for an all-Black organization that has referred to White people as "devils" to receive mainstream acceptance - not that the NOI has ever cared anything about that sort of acceptance. Consequently, the Nation has often been viewed as more of a fringe element than anything else; ragingly militant and pro-Black at its best, out-of-date and out-of-touch at its worst. Although most are familiar with the story of the late Malcolm X, and today's Minister Louis Farrakhan continues to draw huge crowds wherever he speaks - with or without press coverage - a dwindling number are aware of the late Elijah Muhammad, who served as mentor to both Malcolm X and Farrakhan. Even fewer have heard of Wallace D. Fard, later known as Master Wallace Fard Muhammad, who established t...
The move comes six weeks after the Sept. 9 death of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, who denounced the teachings of his famous father, Elijah Muhammad, when he took over the helm of the organization in 1975. The reforms, which included renaming it the World Community of Al Islam in the West (and later American Muslim Mission), relaxing its dress code, removing its paramilitary infrastructure and renouncing whites, as "blue-eyed devils," were replaced with efforts to move the faith toward orthodox Islam. The measures angered some converts of the man they called "The Messenger," and according to a 1996 NOI press release "disoriented many of the followers and led to the Nation's financial ruin. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a former NOI member told this reporter, "We don't know what anyon...
