."Nation of Islam was founded in 1930 by Walid Farad Muhammad, a door-to-door salesman from Detroit, who merged Islamic beliefs with black consciousness to create a movement that had strong appeal in parts of America.He argued that blacks were members of the Shabazz tribe who came to Earth 66 trillion years ago, and that whites were created about 6,000 years ago as a result of an experiment by a deranged black scientist named Yakub.Elijah Muhammad, who founded the second Nation of Islam temple in Chicago, adapted the movement to help blacks improve their lives, and in 1952 Malcolm X began preaching in Boston. Malcolm X severed his ties with the group in 1964 following revelations Elijah Muhammad had fathered children with his secretaries. Malcolm X was gunned down the following year and Mr. Farrakhan took over as leader.Mr. Farrakhan has called whites "potential humans ... they haven't evolved yet," and has criticized what he calls the influence of American Jews. Accused of being a "black Hitler," he responded that Hitler was a "very great man."
