1. "Allah" was the name of a demonic moon god prominent in that tribal group
2. When Muhammad received his "revelations" he himself considered them likely
3. BEFORE Muhammad WAS BORN, IN THE NAME OF
THE DEMONIC MOON GOD ALLAH:
A) running 7 times around the temple of the moon god called the Kaaba.
B) stones were thrown at the devil.
C) a crescent was a key religious symbol.
D) praying toward Mecca five times a day.
E) kissing the black stone.
F) killing an animal in sacrifice to the moon god.
G) fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon.
But essentially "Allah" is NOT the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The historical record - FROM ISLAMIC SOURCES - is quite clear. There's
"Allah Akbar!" means Allah ak bar which at its Semitic root means:
"I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate
Why is there a crescent moon on the front of every mosque? To this

They make them believe to start with

They then place a extreme hate motive into
their minds in a leadership type way,
in order to
get them to do their wishes ( Mind ) ( control )
This makes them believe they are gaining
power-which is for self=remember you are the victim!
even if it means your own death
or imprisonment, you will be used-deceived & taken for
all the money they can get to further their evil plot.

OBITUARY
Elijah Muhammad Dead; Black Muslim Leader, 77
Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES
Chicago, Feb. 25--Elijah Muhammad, spiritual leader of the nation's Black Muslims,
died here today of congestive heart failure.
The death of the 77-year-old "Messenger of Allah," as his followers called him,
came as thousands of Muslims were gathering in Chicago for
their biggest annual religious celebration, Saviour's Day, scheduled for tomorrow.
Mr. Muhammad suffered from heart trouble, bronchitis,
asthma and diabetes. He entered Mercy Hospital Jan. 30.
Mr. Muhammad was considered by Black Muslims as the "
Last Messenger of Allah." Strict adherence to that belief might
cause some problems of succession, but it is expected generally
that one of his sons will assume the leadership.
Mr. Muhammad is survived by six sons and two daughters.
Built Religious Body
By C. Gerald Fraser
In his 41 years as its spiritual leader, Elijah Muhammad molded the
Nation of Islam into a significant religious body.
At the same time, he developed the Nation of Islam's empire of
schools in 46 cities, restaurants, stores, a bank, a publishing
company that prints the country's largest circulating black
newspaper, and 15,000 acres of farmlands in three states that
produce beef, eggs, poultry, milk, fruit and vegetables delivered
across the country by Nation of Islam-owned truck and air transport.
Elijah Muhammad did not create the Nation of Islam but he built
it on a number of principles. Among them: Islam is the true
religion, "knowledge of self" is vital, "doing for self" is necessary,
the black man is supreme and the white man is "the devil."
These principles caught the imagination of thousands of mostly
young, male and female, lower-class black American former
Christians who became followers of Mr. Muhammad. And
recently, black professionals--physicians, police officers and
the college-educated, for example--have joined the movement.
Estimates of membership range from 25,000 to a high of 250,000
claimed by the movement.
These principles also brought down upon the Nation of Islam scorn
from black and white Americans. But Elijah Muhammad contended
that to call whites "blue-eyed devils" was neither to hate them
nor to teach hate. "They say that I am a preacher of racial hatred,"
Mr. Muhammad once said, "but the fact is that the white people
don't like the truth, especially if it speaks against them. It is a
terrible thing for such people to charge me with teaching
race hatred when their feet are on my people's neck and they
tell us to our face that they hate black people. Remember now,
they even teach you that you must not hate them for hating you."
Comments by Marshall
Many blacks did not buy that explanation. Supreme Court
Justice Thurgood Marshall, a black liberal and a civil rights
lawyer in 1959, said then that Mr. Muhammad's organization
was "run by a bunch of thugs organized from prisons and jails
and financed, I am sure, by Nasser [Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt]
or some Arab group." Justice Marshall added that followers of
Mr. Muhammad were "vicious" and a threat to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and state law enforcement agencies.
The negative view was shared by most blacks described by
the press as "black leaders." But a black conservative, George Schuyler,
a columnist for The Pittsburgh Courier, held the view more common to
many among the black masses. "Mr. Muhammad," Mr. Schuyler
wrote in 1959, "may be a rogue and a charlatan, but when anybody
can get tens of thousands of Negroes to practice economic solidarity
, respect their women, alter their atrocious diet, give up liquor,
stop crime, juvenile delinquency and adultery, he is doing more
for Negroes' welfare than any current Negro leader I know."
There were thugs, dope addicts and prostitutes in the Nation
of Islam. But their conversion from criminal to believer was viewed
in black communities as a near miracle. Blacks were awed by the
discipline, and admired the orderliness the followers displayed.
Where home, school and church had failed many of the followers,
Mr. Muhammad had succeeded.
The opportunity to be "somebody" was one of Mr. Muhammad's
major offerings to black men and women who joined the
Black Muslims--the name given the group by Dr. C. Eric Lincoln,
chairman of the department of religion and philosophical studies
at Fisk University and author of "The Black Muslims in America."
Dr. Charles V. Hamilton, a political scientist and member of
the Columbia University faculty, said Elijah Muhammad "was one
of the few who has been able to combine religion and
race with a rather continuing economic influence."
Fard Founded Nation
Actually, the concepts preached and practiced by Mr. Muhammad
were handed to him by the founder of the Nation of Islam, W. D.
Fard, or Master Farad Muhammad. Where Mr. Fard came from and
where he went when he dropped out of sight are unknown. But in
a 1930 Depression-ridden Detroit, "The Prophet," as he was
known to customers who bought the fabrics he peddled from
door-to-door, created the Temple of Islam.
He told those who listened that he had come to "wake the Dead
Nation of the West," that he would teach the truth about the
white man, that blacks must get ready for Armageddon--the inevitable
confrontation between black and white--that black men were
not to be called "Negroes" and that Christianity was the religion of the slavemasters.
Mr. Fard established Temple No. 1 in Detroit, the University
of Islam--the temple's elementary and secondary school,
Muslim Girls Training Class and the Fruit of Islam-- the elite
corps of males assigned to protective and disciplinary functions.
As was his practice, Mr. Fard gave his followers their "original"
name, and the man who came to him as Elijah Poole received the
name Elijah Muhammad. Mr. Fard selected a Minister of Islam
and a staff of assistant ministers. Elijah Muhammad, as one of
the assistants, became very close to Mr. Fard, and after Mr.
Fard disappeared in 1934, Elijah Muhammad became the Minister of Islam.
Mr. Fard has since been deified as Allah and his birthday, Feb. 26,
is observed throughout the Nation of Islam as Saviour's Day.
Elijah Muhammad's ascent is another instance of a black man from
a small Southern town who achieved national eminence as a
religious leader. He was born in Sandersville, Ga., on Oct. 7, 1897.
His parents were sharecroppers--and former slaves. His father,
Wali Poole, was also a Baptist preacher, and Elijah was one of 13 children.
His formal education ended at the fourth grade, and at 16 he left
home. In 1919 he married Clara Evans and in 1923, with two children,
they moved to Detroit. A series of jobs included work on a Chevrolet assembly line.
The Detroit experience was as critical to his later activities as
were his modest beginnings. Mr. Fard and Mr. Muhammad were building
a Northern urban movement in bad economic times with predominantly
Southern-born blacks.
At various times in Detroit during the nineteen-thirties Communists,
anti-union, pro- Ethiopian and pro-Japanese elements tried to
co-opt the movement. In this period Elijah Muhammad was arrested
for contributing to the delinquency of a minor because he sent
his children to the University of Islam instead of to Detroit's
public schools. And finally, internal turmoil within the Detroit temple caused
Mr. Muhammad to move to Chicago, where he established Temple No. 2.
Along with non-Muslims, Elijah Muhammad was arrested in Chicago
in 1942 and charged with sedition and violation of the Selective Service Act.
Cleared of the sedition charges, he was convicted of exhorting his
followers to avoid the draft and he was sent to Federal prison in Milan,
Mich., for about four years. He was credited with controlling the
Nation of Islam from his prison quarters.
Role of Malcolm X
It was a man who joined the Nation of Islam in prison, however,
who gave the movement its greatest exposure. El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz--Malcolm X.
Malcolm X joined the Nation of Islam in a Massachusetts prison.
He was released from jail in August, 1952, and his rise paralleled
the period of most significant growth in black awareness.
Malcolm X was Elijah Muhammad's most prominent apostle.
Malcolm X was the chief spokesman, the main recruiter; he brought
the heavy-weight boxing champion Muhammad Ali into the movement.
But by 1963 Malcolm X was disenchanted, while denying that he was a
rival of Mr. Muhammad for top leadership. He believed Mr. Muhammad's
religious interpretations that excluded Caucasian Moslems too narrow,
and he was concerned by the Black Muslims' policy of
non-engagement in civil rights and political affairs.
In the 10 years since Malcolm X's assassination by three said to
be Black Muslims, Elijah Muhammad ruled his movement from its
Chicago headquarters. (Occasionally, he spent time in
Phoenix, where the climate relieved some of his asthmatic discomfort.)
Mr. Muhammad, a small man about 5 feet 5 inches tall with a high,
thin voice, held court in his offices, listening to aides, weighing
their reports by balancing what they said with the qualities
he saw in them as individuals. He was serious but witty and
verbally creative. He illustrated many of his spiritual lessons
about the need of blacks to elevate their behavior, as he saw it,
with little humorous dramatic sketches.
Although Mr. Muhammad personally enjoyed
disasters that befell whites, seeing them as Allah's work,
he sought to prevent any public expression of Muslim
enjoyment of the event. Thus, he suspended Malcolm
after Malcolm X had said of the assassination of President
Kennedy that the "chickens had come home to roost."
He prevented Black Muslims from participating in the
country's political process, including any political
activity on behalf of a separate state, because, he contended,
what was to be achieved by the Nation of Islam was to be
achieved divinely, though natural catastrophes and warring among
whites on a national and international scale.
Relations with American black Moslem groups have
become increasing hostile since the assassination of
Malcolm X. Black Muslims were accused of killing seven
persons associated with the Hanafi Muslims in Washington
two years ago. And Sunni Muslims in Brooklyn
were said by the police to have tried to steal guns from a
sporting goods store to prepare for a war with Black Muslims.
In recent years, Mr. Muhammad moderated the
anti-white tone of the religion. He remarked last year that
"The slavemaster is no longer hindering us, we're hindering
ourselves. The slavemaster has given you all he could
give you. He gave you freedom. Now get something for yourself."
Elijah Muhammad was a mystic. But his mysticism
was applied; it always had a quite earthly purpose.
Forerunning transcendental meditation and other modern
popular sects, he saw the need for 20th-century religions
to declare themselves based on science, not faith. Islam
was a science and a "way of life," not a religion, he said. Yet,
he would refer to the Mother Plane, a mysterious space ship
with superior beings, giant black gods or something like that,
that patrolled the universe, keeping an eye on
the devil and ready to rescue Black Muslims from Armageddon.
