In my opinion, the NOI is a terrorist organization that's essentially a cult.
It's no different from the NuWaubians, or MOVE, or Al-Furqa.
They need to be crushed.
Malcolm X made a brilliant speech just before he died illustrating the danger posed by Elijah Muhammed and his demented, delusional disciples, and how these quasi-Islamic, apocalyptic nuts were worse than the KKK.
Keep in mind, at the time the KKK still presented a lingering-and ubiquitous-threat in many parts of the South.
The fact that we've allowed them to thrive for so long no doubt encouraged other, even more dangerous, Islamic terrorists to feel that this nation was a soft target.
Orianna Fallaci had a chilling chapter in the second part of her trilogy that details her conversation with Cassius Clay after he was brainwashed by the NOI.
Everyone should read it.
The NOI needs to be DOA PDQ IMO.
They are dangerous.
