The Final Call
Farrakhan Speaks
The NOI affirms that "Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited ’Messiah’ of the Christians and the ’Mahdi’ of the Muslims." While claiming the Qur’an as scripture and acknowledging that the Bible has limited value, the movement maintains a host of strange views (including UFO theories, a form of polytheism, and Elijah Muhammad’s claim that "The Blackman is the Original Man"—the "white race" having been created by an evil scientist named Yakub.)
Sources of conflict have included internal power struggles, incendiary racial views, a perceived hostility toward Jews, and the movement’s problematic relationship to orthodox/mainstream Islam. Many see Minister Farrakhan as a cunning demagogue.
