The Nation of Islam was founded by a Pakistani

[awsaleban667]

Damn he was a Qadiyani
Karl Evanzz, in his book The Messenger, postulates that Fard was the son of a Pakistani Muslim, then known as East Indians. He bases this theory on several indications:

1. Fard spent time at the Ahmadi Mosque, a movement prominent in Pakistan and used translations of the Quran from Pakistanis.
2. The name Fard is a common surname in Pakistan as are other names he bestowed upon his followers such as Shabazz, Ghulam, and Kallatt
3. Interviews with long-time Nation figures who met him or saw original photos of him such as Ozier Muhammad, Rodnell Collins (nephew of Malcolm X) and Wilfred Little indicate that Fard has Pakistani features

Most of the old African Americans muslims I've met were former members of the nation of Islam. Most of the young ones tend to be sunni.

Lol, I’ve read about this. The way he was able to infiltrate the black community was by not being very forthcoming about his background. There was always an air of mystery surrounding him and he simply disappeared in the 30s. Many thought he had black ancestry from what I can remember (I could be wrong) but born in Mecca. Many theories of his origins used to fly around and many did believe he was of black origin but mixed with South Asian or Afghan. It’s insane how there are records of him being from many different nations, from Pakistani to Iran to Greek.

My view? He was probably a Pakistani man that finessed the black community and his people (Pakistani- Northern Indian at the time since Pakistan didn’t exist) were simply not that familiar to the AA community then. He was a door to doors salesmen in Detroit and that’s how he managed to get his foot in the door.
