(The Black Muslims' official name was the Lost-Found Nation of Islam, and the spiritual leader was Elijah Muhammad, with national headquarters in Chicago.) Malcolm began to study Muhammad's teachings and to practice the religion faithfully.

At the same time he stated that his organizations were willing to work with other fl organizations and with progressive white groups in the United States on voter registration, on fl control of community public institutions such as schools and the police, and on other civil and political rights for fl people.

The group, known officially as the American Muslim Mission, was known as the World Community of Al-Islam in the West after 1975 and was formerly called the Nation of Islam; members refer to themselves as Bilalians.
The group’s origins are found in two fl self-improvement movements that began shortly before World War I: the Moorish Science Temple of America, founded (1913) by Prophet Drew Ali (1886–1929), and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, founded (1914) by Marcus Garvey.

Muhammad (1933–), who succeeded his father Elijah Muhammad in 1975, downplayed fl nationalism, admitted nonfl members, and stressed strict Islamic beliefs and practices.

The Black Muslims of Darfur in Sudan exhibit two risk indicators for continued rebellion against the government of Sudan: territorial concentration and government repression.
Black Muslims have faced continued poor health conditions, declining caloric intake, famine and environmental decline due to the continued natural disasters that affect Darfur (drought, flood, etc.), continually from 1980 to the present.
The overall goals for these groups is to get aid to the Black Muslims in Darfur (mostly through refugee camps), to halt the Janjaweed attacks against Black Muslims and to facilitate the eventual return of Black Muslims to their original homes without threat from Janjaweed militants.

The original group was founded (1930) in Detroit by Wali Farad (or W. Fard), whom his followers believed to be "Allah in person." When Farad disappeared mysteriously in 1934, Elijah Muhammad assumed leadership of the group, first in Detroit and then in Chicago.
Under his leadership, the fl nationalist and separatist sect (then called the Nation of Islam) expanded, mainly among poor fls and prison populations.
In 1977 a group of Black Muslims, led by Louis Farrakhan, split off from the organization, disillusioned by the son's integrationist ideals and lack of allegiance to his father's brand of Islam.

For years, some fl activists have charged the Islamic government of Sudan with supporting Arab militias that raid Christian and traditionalist areas of southern Sudan and force their fl African captives into slavery.

Clay is gratified that so many fl activists, politicians and celebrities have been willing to get arrested in front of the Sudanese embassy in Washington D.C. in the last few months to protest the atrocities in Darfur.

But so far Nigerian Muslims and for that matter fl Muslims in the rest of Africa and the American Diaspora, have been conspicuously reticent on the genocide and ethnic cleansing of fl Africans from their ancestral land in Darfur by the racist Arab occupation in Sudan.
Since fl Muslims have constituted themselves into a fifth column for their Arab masters, we Africans lack the unity of purpose and resolve to decisively address the Darfur genocide as we did against apartheid South Africa...which neither enslaved nor perpetrated genocide against us.
We fl Africans must therefore insist on the immediate deployment of a robust, proactive (not "observer") UN intervention force, which should be composed of fl Africans, with or without the consent of the Arab Nazis in Khartoum.
