After reading his beliefs, I analyzed one belief that seems to be misleading. Elijah says:
"WE BELIEVE that we who declare ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for."
Looking at the statement, "righteous Muslims"...should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans, it seems that his righteousness had limits. The statement "...unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for", shows that Elijah, would have fought and killed in a war if given what he wanted.
So my question to the Nation of Islam is; "Do you think killing in war is justifiable as long as you get your land? Are you still considered righteous?

please note that there are many Muslims who do not consider Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam to be true Islam. Even Malcolm X, after his trip to Mecca, broke from NOI.

Elijah Mohammad is a fake, and his religion is a fake. This is an anti-white, anti-American, anti-christian hate group. They are all racist with a criminal mind. The only purpose they have is to destroy. Anyone who joins is a murderous racist. They thrive on hate. They should all be put out of this country.

The Nation of Islam is made up of a bunch of radical, racist, antiSemitic, psycho Muslims who even Arab muslims despise. I'm not Muslim; I agree with you that it is misleading.
