Hmmm.

A man I work with is big time into the NOI (A real chip on the shoulder punk, but I get along with him all right). He quotes the Koran often and with great reverence. I'll have to ask him about it.

Thanks for the info.

They use some Koranic scripture; cherrypicked and NOT the entire Koran. The NOI is a hodge-podge of this and that. Having lived in Chicago, I got to read an awful lot about the NOI, for 17 years.

Don't expect to get the truth, about the NOI, from your fellow worker. If you're really interested, the Chicago Magazine and the Tribune, have run lengthy, fact filled articles, for decades, about the NOI and ALL of its " leaders ", for decades. Some were written by undercover journalists, others by members and ex-members, so EVERY spectrum has been covered.

If this isn't quite good enough, then might I suggest that you read Malcom X's own words, on the NOI ?

And NO , the NOI is NOT really a sect of Islam; it is a cult.
