In New York City, Malcolm X, an African American nationalist and religious leader, is assassinated by rival Black Muslims while addressing his Organization of Afro-American Unity at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights.
Born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925, Malcolm was the son of James Earl Little, a Baptist preacher who advocated the black nationalist ideals of Marcus Garvey. Threats from the Ku Klux Klan forced the family to move to Lansing, Michigan, where his father continued to preach his controversial sermons despite continuing threats. In 1931, Malcolm’s father was brutally murdered by the white supremacist Black Legion, and Michigan authorities refused to prosecute those responsible. In 1937, Malcolm was taken from his family by welfare caseworkers. By the time he reached high school age, he had dropped out of school and moved to Boston, where he became increasingly involved in criminal activities.

Malcolm, the reason for the Xmas season.
Bush’s Fault.
I have always believed Malcolm had a sincere change of heart and was prepared to spill the beans on the NOI’s illegal activities, especially the Death Angels. Thus he had to be eliminated.
Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?
Unfortunately, it took another 35 years or so for most people to understand the dangers of Islam.
Too bad he couldn’t have died of natural causes like the other nine.
Converted to what?

Meet The Parents....of alias Barack Obama: a Black Orthodox Sunni Muslim father and a White Lebanese Christian mother.
One, a famous Civil Rights Activist and former Leader of the Nation of Islam who left the NOI to start his own, true Muslim Organization known as the Muslim Mosque, Inc. and a Pan-African group called the Organization of Afro-American Unity in the furtherance of African Nationalism and for the betterment of African-Americans whom he planned to have convert to Islam.
Malcolm X changed his name to El Hajj Malik el-Shabazz and became a member of the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood while attending the American University of Beirut and Al-Ahzar University to study the mystical (and more fundamental) aspects of Sunni Islam including the sects of Salafism and Wahabbism.
Malcolm/Malik was a close, personal friend of King Faisal but who was more like a son to the Ruler of Saudi Arabia. Malcolm first met Faisal in 1959 when he was still a Prince and heir to the throne of King Saud.
Varelie Sarruf - best known for her role in the film, “Firelight” and also her one-time role in the British TV spy series, “The Avengers” that became a major hit in America thanks to its quirky male lead, Patrick MacNee, as the bowler-hatted John Steed, and his beautiful, long-haired brunette assistant, Diana Rigg, as Emma Peel - forever etched in the memories of males everywhere for the slinky, skin-tight black leotard she always wore and which became her trademark.
Long before Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton became the first in a series of strong female actresses, Diana Rigg was the original, beautiful, ass-kicking heroine who became the prototype for every actress who ever played the role of a sexy, secret agent who could beat the crap out of any man she wanted.
Quite different from the roles that Valerie played. Val was the only child of an even more famous father by the name of Fouad Sarruf (Google his name). Valerie went onto becoming a well-known actress of stage, screen, TV, and radio as a mainstay of the BBC network.
Valerie’s relative, Alexander Sarruf, became the famous, dashing Egyptian actor known as Alexander D’Arcy.
The relationship between Malcolm and Valerie and the “love child” they produced was kept a secret from everyone who knew them - except for King Faisal who arranged for Malcolm’s only son and heir to be educated in the ways of Islam and to carry on Malcolm’s work after his father was assassinated in Harlem on February 1965.- a legacy that included Malcolm’s deepest desire to see America become an Islamic nation beginning with the 22 million African-Americans he sought to organize.
A surrogate family to provide for his son’s care was also arranged by Faisal and friends.
Malcolm’s last words to King Faisal and to the members of his Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Sunni cleric who helped him convert to Orthodox Islam, was
“What I have put into motion can never be stopped.” ...

No offense intended, but this sounds like your inner Pollyanna talking. The leopard doesn't change his spots, only his hunting strategy.
Unlike other NOI members, Malcolm X was intelligent enough to realize that his strategy of ranting about "white devils" was counterproductive and not going anywhere. He recognized that he could pursue the same goals and agenda of anti-white hatred more successfully with dishonest talk about "brotherhood" and "equality."
If you want an example of what Malcolm X was becoming, look no further than Obama. Obama never raved about "white devils," he subtly gave a smile, nod, and wink to black rioters while telling white audiences about the need for peace and national unity. This savvy approach got him a lot farther than Elijah Muhammed's strategy ever could, and this is what Malcolm X was aspiring towards.
Other NoIers saw Malcolm X as a threat because he was a clever rival, not because he opposed their agenda.
Thanks.
So his 'conversion' was akin to jumping out of the fire pan into the fire...
He was initially refused permission to visit Mecca because NOI wasn’t considered to be ISLAM so he spent 18 weeks at the Al Azhar mosque

before his conversion and making the hajj.
a simple case of mistaken identity, I guess:

Malcolm X, the seeds of the Black Nationalism/Muslim/Democrat conspiracy. Man, oh man what a sick journey thrust on the American people. The biggest story is the fusion party elitists (Republicans-Democrats) who knowingly facilitated the nightmare.
If you read his own description of Elijah Muhammad’s theology in “The Autobiography of Malcolm X”, it’s not even remotely what mainstream Muslims believe. It’s about as off-the-wall as Scientology...I recall reading it long ago for a college class and being baffled that anybody could take that as their faith.
Right. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Prince Feisal refused MX entry into Mecca unless he converted to ‘true’ islam, the wahhabe sunni variety. Feisal welcomed MX because, as he said, this man will bring many blacks in the US to islam.
How true that was.
Starting with the prison population of course. Scratch a Black Panther, find a muslim. Scratch a Black Lives Matter, find a muslim. If you have 18 million blacks in the US, I think it’s safe to assume at least half are converts.
Recall, Obama said...America is one of the largest muslim nations in the world...
