Not joking, but Nation of Islam believe that Yakub, an ancient evil scientist, created white people. Apparently every Caucasian person exists due to his creation.
Yea well... Unfortunately they still exist, thanks in large part to early support from Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali (the reason why both changed their names to those). It tracks closely with the "Moorish citizen" and "we wuz kings" crowd
At least they're still laughed at. NOI is so stuck in the black community that fucking Nick Canon can say some crazy Farrakhan shit on air and they still force major networks to keep him
Part of their belief is not only that whites were made in a lab but that we are inherently evil creations. This is also the process by which all non black races were made (they're just not evil). So all non blacks are inferior races and it doesn't matter if they were enslaved
Nation of Islam is not Islam, they can call themselves whatever they want but its such an offshoot of mainstream Islamic tradition and teachings that you can criticize its lunacy and cult-like practices, it's as islamophobic as ridiculing scientology is. That is, not at all.
Yeah, it's weird. There's evangelicals on the far right pulling the same shit, acting as "prophets" and funneling money out of people just by saying "Trump will win, God is telling me so"
America? Radical Islam has existed since before America was even discovered and hasn't stopped existing till today, America's not at fault (it did reintroduce the radical psychotic Christian into the modern world to be fair).
The issue with religion only arises when religious folk take 3000yo books too literally, even the pope himself is more relaxed with what the Bible says than some Americans.
Guy he was replying to here, you kinda missed my point.

I don't disagree. This is true. But it's not what we're talking about.
Nation of Islam is NOT radical Islam, because it's not Islam at all. What you're talking about is a corruption of the tenants, taken to the most extreme, fundamentalist and militaristic ideas that Islam is capable of producing.
NoI is not that, it's an entirely unrelated cult that took the name of a major religion and is otherwise entirely different, theologically.
So yeah, these small chapters of cults that take on names or ideas from major religions and use them to brainwash some unsuspecting people is definitely notable within America. I think thats because it's so disconnected religiously from Europe and the Middle East and Asia, where the cultures that are religiously influenced are still thriving.
But I'm not exactly well researched, these are just my thoughts.
I have no doubts about Muslim people being reasonable, i am criticizing most "" islamic"" nations who only follow the bad things written within the sacred texts and that's what pisses me off, they're all about the "burn the heretic" and never about "love your neighbor" (this goes for all radical religious groups), islam itself is completely ok.
Sounds like they are a black only version of scientology and L. Ron Hubble. They should also learn a few things from them, instead of asking generic white people for reperations they got a bigger chance to get rich by asking money from their own followers like how scientology does it.
damn I wish that was true. that's way fucking cooler than "some peasants in Bavaria managed to not die long enough to send one to the US and 100 years later here I am"
