Not to sterotype because I know not all Muslims are bad not even probly 1% of them, but is there a difference between the Arab Muslims that are fighing the Holy War in the Middle East and the African Americans that form the Nation of Islam. Are they both Islamic or are they different religions?

African Americans' Nation of Islam is NOT the same religion as Islam. Its NOT the representation of True Islam, as Islam is Not only for African American, nor is it only for Arab Muslims, Its for the whole of Humanity. Please, those involved in Nation of Islam, Get Out of There, and seek the real Islam. If anyone want any knowledge of Islam, contact Muslim Scholors and other Muslims in ur area who are not in nor associated with the Nation of Islam. If anyone want to ask some questions, he can ask to me at my e-mail askabtIslam@yahoo.com. Dont Fall for the Nation of Islam. Nation of Islam is totally different from ISLAM.

In fact, there are two kind of muslims: Sunni & Shiite(Sonni & Shi'e in Arabic pronounciation). They have got some small variations. & i don't think there could be any difference between those African American muslims & the muslims in Mid-east. except some beliefs which is mixed with their religion cuz always the way ppl live is mixed with their religion. Islam doesn't mean Arab; this religion is for everyone & is not appeared just for arabs.
i hope i could answer

The Nation of Islam is very different from the traditional Sunni and Shia varieties. The reason that Malcom X was assasinated by hirelings of the founder of the Nation of Islam, Elijah Mohammed was that Malcolm had visited traditional muslim communities in the middle East and he was trying to change the practices of NOA to a more traditional Islamic form.

Okay look at it like this when you have "Born again Christians" here in the United States that take their religion and beliefs to a radical extreme, that's who is fighting over there. Everyone can read one thing and only take away from it what they want it to say. That is why people are radicals. Most of the people that practice the Islamic faith are non-violent. It is not good to be violent.

the nation of islam are not muslims, and God knows best. Muhammad said there was no Prophet between himself and Jesus, and that there will be no prophet after himself. So the nation of islam believing in a prophet after muhammad, namely elijah muhammad cannot be considered to be following Muhammad.
this disease of man can be seen everywhere. the buddha did not ask to be an object of worship yet he has become 1, same with jesus (peace be upon him)

Religious and irreligious Muslims. No war is holy and unholy. In the Kingdom of Islam all are Muslims. The definitions of all the religions meet at certain points. Not taking notice of those points, we fight with each other for the cause of the points where they disagree. We have become champions in exhibiting our foolishness and cruelty and fight wars in the name of religions. No religion encourages illwill and hatredness. It is our ego that makes us divided.

There is not difference between muslims.
There is difference between Extremist calling himself muslim and Muslim (similar to difference between G Bush and ordinary american)
The place of origin has nothing to do when person is following Islam

Well I have a friend who is muslim and he told me that there are over 100 different types of muslim so to answer your question yes the african american one's and the arabic one's are different. But yes they both are muslim, think of it like this: there are a lot of christians but we all study the word differently like baptist, methodist, and etc.

There are two types of Muslims with tiny variations in belief trying to exterminate each other in Iraq at the moment...hardly a religion of peace.

and you would realize...the reason..why so many are converting...
