    SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

    A. Summgy AAIThis monographincludesabackgroundoi theorthodox religion

    of Islam,and theworkings andorganizational setupoi theMuslim Cultof

    Islam. An effort hasbeen madein the last sectionto point outthosetenets

    cithe orthodox religionthat havebeen adoptedasastructural part ofthe

    Cult,and the eccentricalterationsmadein them.

    B. Conclusio ns

    1. The MCI is afanatic Negro organizationpurportingtobemotivated bythe religiousprinciples oi Islam, but actuallydedicated tothe propagationof hatredagainst thewhiterace. The services conducted throuiout the temples arebereft oi any semblanceto religious exercises.

    2. Organizationally, the MCIis acollection oi autonomoustemples boundbyatremulous personal relationshipbetweenthe headsoi the temples andthe headquartersoi the Cultin Chicago, Illinois.

    -8. TheMCI,although an extremelyanti-American organization,is not at the present timeeither largeenough or powerfulenough toinflict anyserious damageto thiscountry; however,its membersare capableoi committingindividual actsoiviolence. = 1

    4. The aims andpurposes ofthe MCIare directedat the overthrowof our constitutional government,inasmuch asthe Cultmembersregardit asan instrument oithe whiterace; therefore,it is obvious that this group, as long as itretains the ideasnow motivatingit, will remainaninvestigative problem.to the.FBI. ~

    borninMecca,the sonof wealthyparents ofthe tribeof Koreish

    Qureysh! fromwhich Mohammedhad come;that hewas closelyrelated byblood tothe dynastyof theHashimite sherifsof Meccawho becamekingsof the Hejaz;thathe was educatedatacollege

    in Englandin preparationforadiplomaticcareer, butthat heabandoned everythingtobring"ireedom, justice andequality, "

    to "hisuncle livinginthewilderness ofNorthAmericasurrounded

    'and completely robbedby thecave man."*It appearsthatthe surrounding airof mysteryaffected

    1-ard asmuch asit didhis followers,for, whenasked whohe wasby theDetroit PoliceDepartment, heanswered, "Iam theSupreme

    Ruler of the Universe."

    The "blackmen inthe wildernessof NorthAmerica" arereferred tosymbolically inthe cultritual as"the uncle"of Mr.W. D.Fard. Muslimsoi theEast--Syrians, Turksand others--arereferred toas the"seconduncle" oiMr. W. D. Fard.

    the ideathat Fardwas morethanaman. As timepassed, the

    idea reached the level of veneration.

    The followingquotation reectsthis venerationin thepast

    and presentbeliefs ofthis organization,now calledthe MuslimCult of Islam, or the Allah Temple ofIslam.

    We aredetermined asour BaviorAllah's Apostlesto makeknown toour oppressed,robbed, degenerated,and rejectedpeople thegladnewsof thepresenceof ourlong awaitedDeliverer whowas tocome andhas come.Whomwehave seen andspoken tohim faceto face. Who ishe then? The greatJehovah MasterW. J. lllohammed whowould comein thelast daysand ,search theearth for the lost brother of Asia, whohad fallenamong strangersand wasrobbed ofallweoriginally possessed. Praisebe toour Baviorand KingMaster I-ardMohammed, theAlmighty whohave thekeys ofsalvation toloose usout ofthiswicked devil civilization.

    When thenumber offollowers increasedto thepoint where

    private homeswereno longer largeenough toaccommodate the

    g-owing congregation,atempleservice wasbegun.Thisfirst
