::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)

::: Well.. sort of. It adheres to some non quranic doctrines. Most particular their belief that the messiah already came in the 20TH century. They also believe in miscegenation and segregation which are very un-muslim. It is a racial movement, not religious. They believe that people alive today should still be held accountable for slavery that ended 150 years ago, and that they should be provided for by their ANCESTORS' owners to create their own nation. Its very much not Islam. [http://www.noi.org/muslim_program.htm Their version of Islam] [[User:EternalCritic|EternalCritic]] 13:15, 12 November 2008 (EST)

:::::::''They also believe in miscegenation and segregation which are very un-muslim''  But so did the Reform Church in South Africa. When examining whether the NoI is or isn't Islamic, we should put to one side its secular political beliefs, and concentrate on the theology. [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 13:24, 12 November 2008 (EST)
    
They are indeed a very politically active movement, but given their theological beliefs, "non-religious" would be a stretch.
