The '''Nation of Islam''' ('''NOI''') is a [[racist]] [[African-American|black]] hate group, whose positions are based on radical [[Islam]]ic philosophies. Its current leader is [[Louis Farrakhan]].

==Philosophy==
Unlike mainstream Islam, which traces its roots to [[Abraham]] like [[Judaism]] and [[Christianity]], NOI has a race-based philosophy. They believe that black people are racially superior to other races, and that the "blue-eyed devils" (whites) were selectively bred from blacks by an evil black scientist named Yakub, whose work supposedly took hundreds of years for him and his disciples to fully whiten his creations, with the intent to enslave the black race. According to [[Malcolm X]]'s autobiography, on his pilgrimage to [[Mecca]], the Muslims there were shocked to learn of the Yakub doctrine. They have this thought because of mass opression of African Americans "blacks" by white members of the community. Such as the KKK who this site calls a "politcal group". Though it is listed on the FBI's terroist orginizations.

NOI is also [[anti-Semitic|antisemitic]], criticizing Jews for allegedly controlling the U.S. government and the economy. It is classified as a [[hate group]] by [[SPLC]].

Many mainstream Muslims regard NOI as a [[cult]] and not a true Islamic denomination. In fact, many of them refer to NOI pejoratively as '''Farrakhanism''', after Louis Farrakhan.

==Notable members==
*[[Elijah Muhammad]]
*[[Louis Farrakhan]]
*[[Malcolm X]] (Later broke away from NOI and became a mainstream [[Muslim]], changing his name to ''Malcolm Shabazz''.)
