Reports which assert an association between the Nation of Gods and Earths and the snipers are simplistic and unnecessarily inflammatory: they ignore the social origins of the Nation and the complex nature of Five Percent hip-hop commentary on US racial politics.

But the Nation's beliefs about black gods are more usefully understood not as a deviation from mainstream Islam but as a kind of heretical critique of white supremacy and of hegemonic Christian images of Jesus, the son of God, that depict him as a white man.

The Islamic "sect"/group to which Brand Nubian belong, known by outsiders as the Five Percent Nation of Islam, by insiders as the Nation of Gods and Earths, hold beliefs so far removed from mainstream Islamic teachings as to be virtually unrecognizable as Islamic to a majority of Muslims.
For example, the chant "allahu akbar" ("God is Greatest") in the context of this Brand Nubian song means something very different than in mainstream Islamic beliefs.
One possible interpretation of this song, which juxtaposes the opening of the Islamic call to prayer (idhân) and hip-hop beats, is that it suggests affinities between African-American and Middle Eastern Islamic culture.
