 ==Assassination== 
 I entered into the article a point about the murder of Malcolm X, which I feel makes this organization most notable.   
 ::: Um, seriously speaking... I don't think it is proven fact that they did this.  I don't believe we can ever confirm who did it, or if they did it on the say so of the NOI or any other organization.  Malcolm X himself suspected more than just the NOI, judging by the last passages related by him in his Autobiography.  You can't say the NOI assasinated him unless you know it for fact.  It is possible, but it is irresponsible to suggest that it is fact until and unless some day it is proven as such.  Ismail 

 It could be mentioned that a member of the organization carried out the attack. 
 

 ==Avoiding edit wars== 
 I am a Wikipedia administrator and I feel that I personally can take a NPOV on this article. My involvement was simply that I write about the Beltway Sniper Attacks and follow-ups as the trials, etc. have progressed. My main focus is other things related to Virginia. I do not have strong feelings about NOI one way or the other.    

 This article has been going through edit and revision ""wars"", which is not unusual for controversial Wikipedia subjects. However, that is not the best way for us all to end up with articles which meet Wikipedia standards. I respectfully suggest that, if you want to add factual content to the article, fine. If you want to dispute what someone else had written, this is a good place to bring your case and cite your sources. If what you are writing is controversial, it won't hurt to say so. We want the article as whole to present a neutral point fo view, so POV positions while be so labeled and there will be every attempt at balance of facts to reach a NPOV in the presentation.  
 Anyone who wants to can leave me messages on my Talk page  as well as here.

 ==Racism== 

 As much as the NOI screams about racial oppression and black preservation, I find it funny that they basically spit on the gods of their ""native"" Africa in favor of a Middle Eastern god. They want to hate one non-black race so they pretend to be another non-black race. 

 [Dumbass!  There are many practitioners of Islam  
 in Africa,     especially Northern Afirca, and there  
 has been for centuries.  Middle Eastern god?  You are  
 incredibly stupid.  Learn something before you decide  
 to comment based on some notion that you have about  
 Islam being strongly rooted only in Southwest Asia.   
 Tell me the truth: are you a hick?  A lot of in-breeding  
 in your family?  Are you a Republican?]           

 Oh, maybe there is some truth to the NOI's claims that New Orleans was rigged. Maybe they rigged it themselves, because all the Voodoo practitioners who follow African gods are a threat to them. 

  
 This sentence makes no sense:   

 :It was based on the doctrine that out of all the nations of the earth, Black people, the only nation without any knowledge of their past history, no control of their present lives, and had no guidance for their future.  
 Yeah, but in general muslims don't really believe that whites (or any other race) were created by a mad scientist. islam is a religions of peace, where those who follow Islam, don't give races any importance. In Islam, during the pilgrimage to Mecca muslims from all around the world, no matter what race they are, meet together to worship God every year. 

  
 You do not know Islamic history Mr. Chuck Smith! Racism has always been in Islam, and before the Hon. Elijah Muhammad start teaching Islam in America the Arabs did not allow Black people in their Mosques in the U.S... The Arabs had signs on their Mosques in the U.S. that said ""No Niggers allowed!"" When the Hon. Elijah Muhammad start teaching that the White Man was the Devil and Arabs have white skin then they (The Muslim Arabs) start saying their is no Racism in Islam. I'm half Arab (Egyptian) & Black American and I'm not dumb like most Black Americans that will believe your dumb statement. The so-called White Muslims during the pilgrimage to Mecca that Malcolm X seen was White Muslim Nazis (13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian)).  There leader name was Mohammad Amin al-Husayni (Haj Amin al-Husseini Grand Mufti of Jerusalem). These Arab & White Muslim Nazis believed that Black people were monkeys, and not their Black Muslim brothers. Now we see are poor Black brothers running around like monkeys today, and the Arabs are trying t
