  • A COMPARATIVE STUDY of the NATION of ISLAM and ISLAM Dwi
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE NATION OF ISLAM AND ISLAM Dwi Hesti Yuliani-Sato A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2007 Committee: Dr. Lillian Ashcraft-Eason, Advisor Dr. Awad Ibrahim ©2007 Dwi Hesti Yuliani-Sato All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Lillian Ashcraft-Eason, Advisor This study compares the Nation of Islam with the religion of Islam to understand the extent of its religious kinship to Islam. As with other religions, there are various understandings of Islam and no single agreement on what constitutes being a Muslim. With regard to that matter, the Nation of Islam’s (NOI) teachings and beliefs are regarded as unconventional if viewed from the conventions of Islam. Being unconventional in terms of doctrines and having a focus on racial struggle rather than on religious nurturing position the Nation of Islam more as a social movement than as a religious organization. Further, this raises a question, to some parties, of whether the NOI’s members are Muslims in the sense of mainstream Islam’s standard. It is the issue of conventional versus unconventional that is at the core of this study. The methodologies used are observation, interview, and literary research. Prior to writing the thesis, research on the Nation of Islam in Toledo was conducted. The researcher observed the Nation of Islam in Toledo and Savannah, Georgia, and interviewed some people from the Nation of Islam in Toledo and Detroit as well as a historian of religion from Bowling Green State University.

  • Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam: Striking a Responsive Chord in the Black Community
    STATEMENT DI175 Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam: Striking a Responsive Chord in the Black Community A Muslim, a mobilizer, a musician, a male role model, and in many ways a mystery. His role as organizer of the Million Man March and leader of the Nation of Islam makes Louis Farrakhan one of the best -known African Americans today. Though a 62- year-old grandfather, Farrakhan’s healthy countenance and vigorous output allow him to pass for a man 20 years younger. He is a father of nine children and an accomplished violinist with a taste for Mendelssohn, and aides say he can bench press 400 pounds. Born Louis Eugene Walcott in 1933 and converted by Malcolm X in 1955, Louis Farrakhan has led the Nation of Islam (NOI) since 1977. His dynamic speeches strike a responsive chord in tens of thousands of young black men who promote his message with missionary zeal, making the NOI a social force to be reckoned with. The NOI does not release statistics, but informed estimates place its following at 25,000 to 100,000 or more. A well-advertised lecture by Louis Farrakhan can draw 60,000 people. Farrakhan’s following is to be reckoned not simply in numbers but also in its composition. NOI adherents largely come from the margins of society: reclaimed drug addicts, former gang members, and directionless or fatherless men who have found a new identity. According to long-time NOI observer and black pastor Dr. Jerry Buckner, while the tradi tional black church is about 60 percent female, the NOI’s membership is about 80 percent male.

The embargo, assertedly aimed at halting "international terrorism" and an alleged nuclear threat from Tehran, bars the purchase of all Ira­ nian goods by U.S. companies, their over­ seas branches, and in many cases their in­ ternational subsidiaries. New York Times columnist A.M. Rosenthal, in a piece titled "When Is an Ally?" bemoaned the fact that "Germany, Japan, Italy, France and other U.S. allies that have been selling high-technology tools, pesticides or other products so use­ ful in modem war told Mr. Clinton to take his embargo and run along.
