Wallace D. Fard (c. 1877-1934) was a traveling salesman who gathered followers during the Depression among the poverty-stricken African-Americans of Detroit. He mysteriously disappeared in June 1934 and was consequently identified as an incarnation of Allah. Under Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975), Fard's Minister of Islam, and Muhammad's lieutenant Malcolm X (1925-1965), the movement gained international prominence.
The Nation of Islam's declared aim is the raising of the moral, social, and economic standing of non-whites. This has included the vilification of the dominant group, white Caucasians, even to the point of calling whites the personification of evil and maintaining that the white race is an aberration, the human race having originally been black. Therefore, according to this theory, blacks must pursue separate development. By turning racist ideas around to oppose whites, the movement has attracted many adherents and has had particularly good success in converting prisoners, criminals, and drug users. Black Muslims have financed the construction of mosques, schools, apartment complexes, stores, and farms.
Elijah Muhammad taught that American blacks, a group that includes all people of color, were descended from the ancient tribe of Shabazz that had originally settled the holy city of Mecca, and that blacks and whites can share no real community. Malcolm X was his closest collaborator until a quarrel between the two men in 1964. Malcolm X then went on a pilgrimage to Mecca, where he saw people of every race worshiping side by side, and he became convinced of the hopelessness of racism. He returned to the United States and founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity, which preached black nationalism but not black separatism. He was shot and killed while speaking to a large gathering in New York City in 1965. After Elijah Muhammad's death in 1975, his son Warith Deen Muhammad radically transformed the Black Muslim movement, opening it to whites and renaming it the American Muslim Mission. In 1979, Louis Farrakhan broke away from the Mission, establishing the more radical Nation of Islam, which restricts membership to blacks and advocates a separate black social structure.

Get the Insular mug.Possibly one of the biggest tourist attractions in the united states. The locals waste their time there, getting trashed at local bars and getting divorced to their wives, to only end up dating the guys from across the bar. If your parents aren't charter boat capitans, they are most likely a real estate agent. Everyone is related in some strange way, and you know of legendary family names like Ross, Lindback, Eklund, De Paula and so on and so forth. we have one public school on the island that isnt even worth going to, and is a complete joke. There is no mall in sight. forget about it because the residents all end up wearing the same clothes that come from homestead which is the closest place to find decent clothing around. Maybe they should just lower the Drinking age to 13 1/2 because thats when the local children find things like beer and occasionally pot. Islamorada is basically the high school for adults, getting drunk and spreading rumors about the place
Kelly- "hey are you coming home to islamorada from boarding school?"
Ansley- "hell yeah! remember when we were in seventh grade and made jello shots when my parents got divorced and my mom started going out with tylers dad?"
Kelly-"yeah those were the days."
