Opinion of the Nation of Islam

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm not sure that can be even considered Muslims in a proper sense.

The idea of Wallace Fard Muhammad being "God in Person" or the "Messiah" goes deeply against the principle of Muhammad being the "Seal of the Prophets".

And Farrakhan encouraging the members to study "Dianetics" is just plain WTF.

Played a valuable role in bringing many Americans to Islam, particularly under W. D. Muhammad.

But W. D. Muhammad led the NoI for a mere year, before leaving (with many members) to founding more mainline American Society of Muslims which should be credited for bringing many Americans to Islam instead of NoI.

The fact that they've never heard of the Arab slave trade, I'm guessing.

I find, in this context, quite amusing that Saudi Arabia did not abolish (Black in a significant part) slavery until the 60s., when the NoI was building up and several prominent figures within the movement were undertaking a pilgrimage to Mecca.
