Many people don't know this but this so called 'Elijah Muhammad' AKA Robert Poole is a false messenger (as he called him self), He was using the name of Islam to serve his own interests as the leader of African-Americans by teaching hate and other false thing about Islam. I'm glad that Malcolm manged to uncover his lies
shareHe was no more corrupt than the megachurches leaders that are so popular in the USA
shareHe was a Black separatist who took money from white supremacists. Ultimately, he was no ally of progressives like you and I, or indeed Malcolm X, and Spike Lee, to his credit, depicted Elijah Muhammad as the dangerous fraud he was, without remotely demonising *true* Islam (which Elijah Muhammad never truly represented).
shareIndeed. He also received donations from wealthy white supremacists, like H.L. Hunt, because they both shared the same racial separation/segregation agenda.
