Islam and UFOs???

[dreldas]

It seems to me that the MSM (especially FOX News) is observing and reporting more and more, just to late do a story debunking it all.

What is Rupert Murdoch up to?

I just want to point out that The Nation of Islam is not the same as Islam.
Without any disrespect but your thread title is misleading. I'm not muslim, but there're big differences between the two.

Rather than being a sect of the Islamic religion, the Nation of Islam (NOI) is an independent religion that has adopted some Islamic elements to make its' own teachings and to suit its own purposes. NOI is also referred to as Farrakhanism, which, in my opinion, is more apt.

Here's (http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/difference-between-islam-and-the-nation-of-islam/) a short article listing the basic differences between the two.

I just wanted to point that out because when I opened the article you linked to, the title told me enough, and I clicked out soon after.

Perhaps "NOI and UFO's" would be a more apt title to this thread?

Again, no disrespect meant towards you whatsoever, I simply wanted to clarify that there's a big difference between the two religions, as well as their points of view on the subject.

Thanks.

Well I think Fox wants to lump them together. Muslims plus ets with guns pointed at muslims enemies = twice the terror at half the price.

Exactly! Well put, johnf.

Now, more than ever, we have to scrutinise and discern between religion and agendas that use religion as a basis for political means.. on both sides of the coin.

Thanks for your post.

Fox news.... i love it. Always keeping us afraid and subservient to the best of their abilities. not all of the new media coming out paints ets as aggressive- new animated film "paul" seems to depict ebe's in a more ....whimsical way. Opposing forces @ work perhaps?

Please do not try to make total with apples and oranges.

Nation of Islam and Islam(Muslims) are totally different things.

The Nation of Islam (Arabic: أمة الإسلام‎) is a Muslim African-American religious movement founded in Detroit, Michigan, by Wallace D. Fard Muhammad in July 1930. He set out to improve the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of the Black men and women of America. From 1934-1975, the NOI was led by Elijah Muhammad, who established businesses, large real estate holdings, armed forces and schools.

Table of comparison of Traditional Islam and Nation of Islam:[33]
Belief Traditional Islam Nation of Islam
God Allah is one, who has no partners Wallace D. Fard came as God incarnate (God is the black man)
Muhammad The final prophet of Islam, no one comes after him Elijah Muhammad is the prophet to tell about i incarnation of Fard
Race All are equal regardless of color of skin, judged on behavior The original black race of man is superior
Creation Allah created the universe, first humans were Adam and Eve Black scientists created the plan which rr repeats every 25,000 years
Qur'an Revealed to Muhammad from God through the Angel Gabriel Bible and the Qur'an Black scientists created and revealed the B B
Sharia law Sacred rules and laws of Islamic life, based on Not followed, created own
Qur'an and Sunnah
, such as 4-6pm meal or avoid white-flour cake meals

This seems as good a place as any to post the numerological view of FOX.

F=6th letter O=15th letter 1+5=6 X=24th letter 2+4=6

So. F=6 O=6 X=6

Since a lot of the christian right take their news from this mouthpiece there is an irony here that is inescapable.

Nothing to do with Islam or UFOs but it does relate to FOX.

Thank you very much for your clarification! I completely agree with you...I meant no type of disrespect to anyone.
