Among the tenets Fard grafted onto his restructured Islamic teachings was the concept of the white man as “Satan” and a “blue-eyed devil.” A key mythology supporting this conclusion held that the “white race” was created some 6,600 years ago by a black scientist named Yacub, who anointed these Caucasians as a “race of devils.”27 Another of his exotic teachings had a heavily armed “Mother Ship,” manned supposedly by Japanese, circling the earth constantly.
Fard was photographed and fingerprinted, and his criminal record was tracked back to the West Coast. According to the FBI, this Muslim “messiah” was a white confidence man by the name of Wallace Dodd, born in New Zealand, or perhaps Hawaii, who had conned his way to the leadership of the Negro Nation of Islam cult.

“Thus, in my opinion, the Muslim religious leaders of today must re-evaluate and spell out with clarity the Muslim position on education in general and education for women in particular. And then a vast program must be launched to elevate the standard of education in the Muslim World. An old African proverb states: ‘Educate a man and you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate an entire family.’ ”42
Muslim religious leaders of today need a more well-rounded type of education and then they will be able to stress the importance of education to the masses, but oftimes when these religious leaders themselves have very limited knowledge, education, and understanding sometimes they purposely keep their own people also ignorant in order to continue their own personal position of leadership. They keep the people narrow-minded because they themselves are narrow-minded.
