I mean they say they are.... but gosh, with the space alien deals and the black men creating white men threw DNA sampling... They are extremely racist, believing all lighter skinned races to be devils :S And that is just the beginning...
I know we are supposed to accept anyone who says they are muslims as such, but this is abit much to swallow?

Islam and the so called "Nation of Islam (NOI)" are two different religions. NOI is more of a political organization since its members are not limited to a single faith. Muslims consider this group to be
just one of many cults using the name of Islam for their own gain. The only thing common between them is the jargon, the language used by both. "The Nation of Islam" is a misnomer; this religion should be called Farrakhanism, after the name of its propogator, Louis Farrakhan.
Islam and Farakhanism differ in many fundamental ways. For example, Farakhan followers believe in racism and that the 'black man' was the original man and therefore superior, while in Islam there is no racism and everyone is considered equal in the sight of God, the only difference being in one's piety. There are many other theological examples that show the NOI's teachings have little to do with true Islam. There are many groups in America who claim to represent Islam and call their adherents Muslims.
Any serious student of Islam has a duty to investigate and find the true Islam. The only two authentic sources which bind every Muslim are 1) the Quran and 2) authentic or sound Hadith. Any teachings under the label of "Islam" which contradict or at variance with the direct understanding of fundamental beliefs and practices of Islam form the Quran and authentic Hadith should be rejected and such a religion should be considered a Pseudo-Islamic Cult. In America there are many pseudo-Islamic cults, Farrakhanism being one of them. An honest attitude on the part of such cults should be not to call themselves Muslims and their religion Islam, such an example of honesty is Bahaism which is an off-shoot of Islam but Bahais do not call themselves Muslims nor their religion, Islam. In fact Bahaism is not Islam just as Farrakhanism is not Islam. Read about Malcolm X in relation to this misconception, where he found the true Islam, realizing that it is much different than NOI.

No, because all those beliefs you just mentioned are not Islamic, for Islam believes in the equality of all races nad peace. It's like asking if you belive the Klu Klux Klan is is a christian group, well yes they claim to be and think they are, but aren't really because their beliefs are not christian. But we do need to look at why the Nation of Islam formed.
There are also many people who eventually saw the saddness and wrong in what they were following and how it wasn't Islamic or noble in general, like my partner's family. But again we have to never forget the reasins why such organisations come into existence in the first place.

any person with the sense of mind will never support such atrocities. those dumbwits probably never came across this verse from the Qu'ran.
AS FOR PEOPLE WHO TRY TO KILL OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE AND GIVE IT THE NAME OF ALLAH, LIKE THOSE SUICIDE BOMBERS -- MAY BE THEY FORGOT TO READ THIS VERSE. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO THOSE WHO DO IT IN A POLITICAL MANNER TOO.
Al-Rahman | 78 verses | The Beneficient سÙرة اÙرØÙ

Sura #55 | Makkah
33 O company of jinn and men, if ye have power to penetrate (all) regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate (them)! Ye will never penetrate them save with (Our) sanction.
just like those Islam bashers who read Quran and dont understand whats written in it. there is no difference between the two -- one blows up innocent people while the other blows up the whole religion.
JIhad is of 2 types, the first one
1. accd to prophet muhammed-pbuh --'the most holiest of wars is the conquest of thyself.'
2. when one is trying to opress u and ur family, as a last resort to self-defense, when no peace talks will work.
the 3rd and new type of Jihad was introduced by the Extremists and Media, to brainwash people, so that they fill up their pockets at the expense of someone elses life. and let me tell u that there is no '72 virgin concept' in Islam. these people who kill and spread false lies, will Inshaallah be the first ones to be thrown into the Hellfire

No.
They basically started out as Muslims but chose to follow non-Islamic teachings later on.
They are the other extreme of the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan Brotherhood.

Em, i dont think ur rite..Muslims can live anywhere. In history, our prophet did venture to many countries, to introduce Islam, n simply to invite people from other religion to convert to Islam, n when the ruler is Islam, the country will automatically become an islamic country. So, basically, we are responsible to make s many country a muslim country a possible, but not like to conquered them.. But to make them interested in Islam, by showing them the beauty of Islam, n the generousity of muslims, to attract them in Islam. So, even in Nation Of Islam, non muslims are allowed to b stay there. So, actual muslims cud b anywhere, doesnt matter where they are, s long s they stay wit the religions teaching and obey gods order. Besides, in Koran, it says we are recomended to wander to other country in search of knowledge.. In short, muslims are everywhere, s long s theyre obeying god..

No, they are not Muslims. Thier whole ideology is based on race, not Allah. I find it strange that they call themselves Muslims. It says in the Qur'an that God did not create nations to bicker, but to coopoerate, and that no nation is inherently better than another. I'm not sure exactly where I read this, but I deffinetly remeber this. They distort the Qur'an and make up stories to push their racist agenda. I wouldnt call them Muslims.

No,
They're just a clan, muslims are not racists if you are a muslim then you have to make peace and have respect for every human being regarding thier race or what the color of their skin is.

Never bothered with it.
It is not my decision to judge them and I am not the one to decide. Allah will take care of it. So far, I never had to personally deal with anything like that even though where I live, I encounter plenty of Black Muslims!

No they are not muslims.
Fortunately, they act as a portal to Islam. Many end up coming to islam anyway.

Peace be with u.
They are Not at all related to Islam, whatsoever. They do Not represent Islam. That is a fake religion, only using the name of Islam. elijah is a LIAR (liar liar pants on fire ... lolzz hahah, but seriously), when malcolm x got to know the real Islam (when he went to Makkah for Hajj, and saw ppl of all races, not just black), he found out that elijah indeed is a liar when he learned The True Teachings of Islam, and tried to propagate the Real Islam, to the "nation of Islam" followers when he got back, and seeing this as a threat, elijah had him assassinated. elijah made up his fake religion to fill out his pockets, and used gullible blacks to follow him using the name of ever-growing Religion 'Islam'. "Nation of Islam" is a racist community (in favour of blacks), and its NOT based on the Teachings of Islam. In Islam all human-kind are equal beyond the boundaries of racism, and also gender-wise (male-femal equal).
It is my plea to the "Nation of Islam" (NoI) followers to get out of there and get to know the Real Islam. NoI only spreads hatred, while Islam is all abt Peace, Love, Harmony & Humanity, also equality of all human-kind. i hope my message get to all followers of NoI, and they Seek The Truth and get to know The Real 'Islam'. Peace to All.
P.S. ........ also elijah (full name : elijah Mohammad) falsely claims that he is the "Mohammad" (Last Prophet of GOD), who has been talked abt in Islam, and is misleading poor, gullible black ppl with his name. he claims false prophethood. plz, get out of there, its a SHAM ...... get to know The Real 'Islam'.
