Clear-cut, in-depth outline of the key Nation of Islam doctrines told through a brilliant interview with the Honourable Elijah Muhammad. Title is slightly misleading, but it does give an informative account of the more inner workings of the group; their origins, beliefs, and intentions.

Poor reviews on this page are clearly agenda-based with no interest to learn, rather, just to critique for the sake of disagreement.

This is some embarrassing horse shit. The book is poorly edited: riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors that would shame a middle-schooler. The doctrine is racist in the least enlightened, logically inconsistent sense--David Duke looks like Socrates in comparison to Elijah Muhammad.

I've read a variety of different books from modern religious movements; ranging from Scientology to Satanism, Urantia to Christian Identity. The Nation of Islam is, hands down, the least logical and foolish doctrine I've ever come across.

Read this book if you're into dark humor and ridiculing the stupid people that would adopt this belief system. If that's not your thing, maybe your time would be better spent picking your nose.
