CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Namaste hagee,
well... black Muslims can be of any particular sect of Islam, Sunni, Shi'a or Sufi... not to mention the various jurisprudence schools that are located under these umbrella terms.
Nation of Islam is not Islam, even though they call themselves Muslims and such.
there are a variety of reasons that this is so, however, the most telling on, in my view, is that Elijah Muhammad is considered to be a prophet of Allah. as any being that has studied Islam knows, the Prophet Muhammad was the "seal of the prophets" meaning that there would be no more after him.
