SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

C A. Summgy AA I - This monographincludes a backgroundoi theorthodox religion -: of Islam,and theworkings andorganizational setupoi the Muslim Cultof I Islam. An effort hasbeen madein the last sectionto point out those tenets 2 i ci the orthodox religionthat havebeen adoptedas astructural part ofthe I Cult, and the eccentricalterations made in them. '5. » '92 i B. Conclusio ns 1. The MCI is a fanatic organizationpurporting to be : motivated bythe religiousprinciples oi Islam, but actually dedicated theto propagationof hatred against thewhite i race. The services conducted throuiout the temples are bereft oi any semblanceto religious exercises. i 2. Organizationally, the MCIis a collection oi autonomous A temples boundby a tremulous personal relationshipbetween the headsoi the temples andthe headquartersoi the Cult in , Illinois. - 8. TheMCI, although an extremelyanti-American organization, is not at the present timeeither large enough or powerful enough toinflict anyserious damageto thiscountry; however, its membersare capableoi committingindividual actsoi violence. = 1 4. The aims andpurposes ofthe MCIare directedat the overthrow of our constitutional government,inasmuch asthe Cultmembers regard it as an instrument oithe whiterace; therefore, it is obvious that this group, as long as it retains the ideas now motivatingit, will remainan investigative problem.to the.

and sinceDecember, 1956, has been described, on a nstional basis, an the ; Nation of Islam N01!. individual temples of the cult generally have been i called Muhammad'sTemples of Islam MTI!.
