Just tweeted one online prominent HI and he said there are two guys that have been getting out there re: protests and more hands on since Ferguson and Trump. He said one of the main guys came out of of the ether re: bonafides. In Queens, i’ve never seen a brand of HI like that. They’re busy telling you your religion is fake, don’t perm your hair to look like whites, confrontational in speech, but nothing else... not even throwing hands. In fact, after 9/11, a lot of them were going to Jackson Heights and other places they knew Islam was outside recruiting to challenge them heads on for at least a year. Be back with the names of the head guys that are pushing this brand, researching.
See this from an old thread:
A little background, as I was not familiar with the Black Hebrews sect founded in Kansas by William Crowdy back in 1896.
Followers believed themselves to be descendants of the original Jews in the Bible claiming that Jesus was Black. They appeal to the African American community using a storyline that has been somewhat successful for the Nation of Islam...the tragedy of a lost heritage and claim their original homeland is not Africa but Israel. They believe that their story began in Ur where Abraham was from and had an affinity with Elamite (a people who were the very first Semitic group mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 10:22). Elamites were a dark-skinned people with wooly hair, and based upon this, B. H. I.s assume that Abraham was black and that black people are the original people.
Ben Israel(known to authorities as Ben Carter from the south side of Chicago), started The Kingdom of Yahweh, about 1967. B. H. I.s believe that as a direct result of disobedience to the laws and the commandments of God the Hebrew, Israelites were held captive by various nations and in 70 C.E. remnants were driven from Jerusalem, by Romans, into various parts of the world, including Africa. They believe that blacks were enslaved and brought to America because of this and that this led to the remnants being spread abroad.
Israel and 350 people from Chicago, journeyed to Liberia, West Africa on their way to Israel(1969), forming what they believed to be the foundation for the kingdom of God. In 1986,Israel and his aide, Prince Asiel Ben Israel were convicted of trafficking stolen passports, securities and forging checks and saving bonds.
In the 1980s a new sect was formed in Miami,a counterpart to Ben Israel’s, by Yahweh Ben Yahweh ( known by the authorities as Hulon Mitchell, Jr.) Yahweh,a former Black Muslim, ran a Black Muslim mosque in Atlanta in the early 1970s, until he was accused of sexual improprieties with underaged Muslim girls and of dipping into the collection plate. During a six-month period in 1973 and 1974, when Mitchell was a high-ranking member of the Nation of Islam, an elite group inside the Nation of Islam called the “Death Angels” murdered several hundred White men, women, and children. The exact number will never be known because many of the victims were so-called “street people”: runaway teenaged girls on drugs, hippies, and the like people who weren’t missed when they disappeared writes Dr. William Pierce - The Saga of Yahweh ben Yahweh.
Members of “The Nation of Yahweh” (N.O.Y.)including Hulon Mitchell(Yahweh) were arrested in 1990 of conspiring to commit RICO; and although they were not found guilty of the RICO charge, Yahweh was sentenced to serving an eighteen-year sentence for another crime - he and followers had butchered and mutilated at least 23 men, women, and children, 14 of them in Miami alone. Mitchell preached to his whole congregation that the killing of White people, whom he calls “blue-eyed devils,” is pleasing to Yahweh.
Mitchell was freed in 2001. The NYO sect is often referred to as a “killer cult.”
Now I am not saying Houston is thinking of joining a “killer cult” as there are several sects; but do these sects/cults seem to have their foundations based on a “religion of peace”?
