A leader that is stifling the growth of the nation of Islam is unbecoming. President Obama is bringing the troops home from Iraq. Elections will have to take place but the Iraqi's fear having to take elections like NOI members fear having to take elections. For hurting people's feelings but NOI members must mature. Grow up like Iraq will have to grow up and elect new and fresh leadership to the banner. It does not take away all the great things the current leadership has done. But, things are stale...nothing is happening. Even the black Hebrew Israelites are speaking about a homeland.
The Nation of Islam needs to grow up that after a time period, innovative ideas in other muslims can pick up where things and take it over the hump into the promised land. There is no reason to loose another year with worn out leadership.
Christian brothers and sisters should make noise also, because they can recall in the 50s and 60 and even into the 70s when the Nation of Islam was going strong in this country....black nationalism was alive and bustling with banquets, bazaars, community events, schools, newspapers, grocery stores, boutiques, fashion stores, bakeries, saviors day and so much more. It was good for the community. Now, when you see the NOI brothers they want to sell you something and then send their money to Chicago. What about New York or Philadelphia, and what about Cleveland and Oakland. Now, when you go to NOI temple...you have to listen to a tape of them speaking in Chicago. What is going on local. What is happening where you live. NOI needs new leadership with fresh guidance from Allah that can instill trust in their ministers so they can grow their own cities. Draw new money into these other cities and circulate that money in those cities. But, to take money out of the city and shovel it to Chicago...that is not the way of tomorrow.
