→Nation of Islam
So it seems NOI is related to Islam, in the sense of having some ideas and practices in common. The question is whether either group identifies with the other. That is, does NOI claim to be Muslim (or part of Islam)? And - a separate question - does Islam accept/repudiate NOI? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:55, 12 November 2008 (EST)

:Hsmom explains it pretty clearly on the Obama talk page, I think [http://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:Barack_Obama#Nation_of_Islam]. NOI is based on, but separate from Islam. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 13:00, 12 November 2008 (EST)

::There is no overarching authority in Islam, no Muslim Pope to excommunicate heretics, so even if other Islamic sects denounce NoI, that doesn't mean it is not Islamic. [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 13:06, 12 November 2008 (EST)
