Nation of Islam Looks to UFOs to Save the World | View Thread

There are also several differences between NOI and core Islamic beliefs.

While Muslims believe in one God with no partners, Son or associates, the NOI says God appeared on Earth in the form of Fard, its founder. Its current leader, Farrakhan, has a history of anti-Jewish comments, and the NOI's main interest is in helping black people who were descended from slaves. Muslims, on the other hand, do not favor one race over another.

And on top of all that, UFOs are an important aspect of the teachings of the NOI. Elijah Muhammad gave detailed accounts of a gigantic Earth-orbiting "Mother Plane" equipped with many weapons, but it's never been clear what takes place on board this ship.

	Nation of Islam Looks to UFOs to Save the World It isn't often you hear about entire religious groups seriously interested in unidentified flying objects. But UFOs are what the Nation of Islam, led by the controversial Minister Louis Farrakhan, considers among its core beliefs. The Nation of Islam was founded in 1930 in Detroit by a former clothing salesman, Wallace Dodd Fard (Muhammad later added to his name), a minister whose followers believed was the personification of God on Earth. His student and successor, Elijah Poole (who later became Elijah Muhammad), referred to Fard as a spokesman of God or Allah. NOI followers believe they originate from a lost nation of African descent who were captured and exploited into slavery by white oppressors referred to as "devils." It fell to the hands of Fard and then Poole to lead African-Americans into a new self-awareness and self-independence. Nam Y. Huh, AP Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan delivers his annual Saviours' Day speech in Rosemont, Ill., on Feb. 27. During the weekend event, Farrakhan promised to force the U.S. government to open all UFO files. This black nationalism, aimed at raising the stature of African-Americans, found a new leader in Louis Farrakhan in 1981. Farrakhan -- a former calypso singer, dancer and violinist -- has, through the years, stirred the pot of controversy with anti-Semitic rhetoric and statements promoting black superiority over whites. It should be noted that the Nation of Islam (boasting up to 50,000 members), is not the same as the Islam religion (with nearly 2 billion worldwide followers).
