"Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan

Introduction
In an odd sort of way, Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan are inextricably bound up with each other, even beyond the fact that both are connected to the Nation of Islam within this country. The connection seemed to come full circle when the daughter of Malcolm X was accused of being involved in a plot to assassinate Farrakhan, since Farrakhan had earlier been accused of involvement in the assassination of Malcolm X. The intent in this paper is to compare and contrast the two men, looking at their beliefs, strategies, appeal, and lives."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Louis Farrakhan has changed the eschatology of the Nation of Islam since the death of Elijah Muhammad in 1975 to a messianic format. The paper examines how the aspects of leadership in the Nation of Islam have been spiritually transmitted to Farrakhan from Elijah preventing a blood lineage from dominating the course of the organization. The paper explains how through these means, Farrakhan uses the superiority of the black race as foundation for his messianic complex in order to propel the behaviors of other world teachers such as Christ, Moses and Muhammad in Biblical lore.

From the Paper
"This study will examine the theological premise of eschatology in the teaching of Louis Farrakhan in relation to his spiritual lineage in the Nation of Islam. By analyzing the various aspects of the organizations religious orders in relation to Islam, the transference of power relies on the spiritual messianic principles of the religion. In this manner, Louis Farrakhan portends the Muslim dictates of the next generation of spiritual leaders in the 21st century. By understanding the precepts of the Muslim orthodoxy, Farrakhan exemplifies the principles of Islam by being the heir to Elijah Muhammad."

Abstract
This paper examines the research work by Jordan in which he presents a thorough character sketch of King Louis XVI. Jordan shows how through the role of the king, Louis accurately shows the duality that humans constantly face. Louis is at once a tyrant, and a family man; he is both treasonous and patriotic. Jordan presents both sides of Louis' character, and inevitably proves how important public perception of each side is, in evaluating the whole man.

From the Paper
"Jordan divides the character of Louis XVI into two distinct parts- Louis the Tyrant, and Louis the Man. Louis the Tyrant is the part of the king that deals with the public's political perception of him after his acceptance of the constitution. It is this role that was the key focus within the Convention, for it was here that his "crimes" against the state were examined. The crimes were such that Louis was referred to as a "determined and devious man bent on destroying the Revolution." Among his many atrocities he was accused of having "deliberately obstructed the constitution, instructed his ministers to lie to the Legislative Assembly, sought to bribe deputies, encouraged the emigration of his friends and... tried to reestablish his authority." This form of public thought came about mostly as a result of the enlightenment, a period of time after which it was acceptable behavior to doubt Medieval ideology. Kings were no longer beings with divine rights, and the laws that they made were no longer seen to be the orders of God. These enlightened ideas were what made criticism of the king possible in the first place. Once illuminated thought made its way into society, people began to realize some of the cruelties that the monarchy had been inflicting upon them. They began to see King Louis as a threat to the nation, not their sovereign leader. This view of him came directly from how he appeared when reigning from his throne. As Jordan makes clear, this is not the only side of his personality."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the life of Louis XIV, the Sun King. He was a great monarch who helped in the revival of arts and theater in the country, some of his major military excursions were also very successful and they came in the first twenty years of his rule.

From the paper:

"Louis XIV was born in a royal palace in 1638 and was made king at the very young age of five as his father Louis XIII had died. But since the new king was very young to look after the Empire, numerous uprisings were see in the country, the nobles and elites of France tried to create problems and so did the general public. This was period of intense rebellion against the monarchs, and is known in the French history as Fronde beginning in 1648 and ending in 1653.The king who was at a very impressionable age, was disturbed by the insurgencies and this was one thing he never forgot and the threat that the people of Paris had posed was also taken very seriously."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The next largest division is the Shiah whose members are called Shiites. Shiite Muslims honor Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad, and Ali's descendants, whom they believe should be the leaders of the Muslim community. Shiah comes from the Arabic phrase shiat Ali, meaning supporters of Ali. The majority of the Muslims in Iraq are members of the Shiah branch of Islam. Most Arabs living southeast of Baghdad belong to this sect of Islam. They see authority as residing in twelve imams, starting with Ali, who was born in about AD 600, and ending with Muhammad al-Mahdi, who was born in about AD 868. They believe this last imam is still alive, in a miraculous state of concealment from human view. He will return at the end of time to restore justice on earth."

Abstract
This paper describes the daily lives and culture of the black American Muslim and Nation of Islam communities. The paper defines these groups and their customs and religious rituals. It illustrates the historical leaders of the black Muslim movements, including in depth biographies of Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. The paper discusses the missionary and racist elements in these movements.

From the Paper
"Religion is important to many Americans not simply because they believe that their faith will bring them to a better world in the afterlife or because it will guide their actions as a moral and good individual here on earth but also because it provides them with a sense of self-identity. Religion tells people who they are, how they are different from other people, to which community they belong. This may be especially true for black Muslims. This paper examines the black Muslim and Nation of Islam movements within the larger context of religious life in contemporary America and the context of the daily lives of black Americans as we enter the 21st century.
It may be helpful for us toe begin with some basic definitions. Black Muslims are simply those followers of a predominantly black religious movement in the United States who profess Islam as their faith. Not all of the followers of this movement are in fact black, although nearly all of them are black or have a black member of their family (such as a spouse or child) who is involved. The movement encompasses not only spiritual and liturgical aspects of life but political and wide-ranging cultural as well, including an emphasis on economic cooperation and self-sufficiency for black communities and individuals.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the accomplishments of the Black Muslims offering an alternative to the peaceful, pacifistic teachings of leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr. The author of this paper shows that the Nation of Islam has played a major role in shaping the ideas and destinies of those of African descent, regardless of their religion.

From the Paper
"Brooklyn Congressman Major R. Owens, referring mainly to Black Muslims, in 1994, stated, "There are a lot of frustrated, angry, bitter people who are looking for a leader. In some cases they are looking for something to hate."[1] This sentiment strongly reflects the origins and ideas of Islamic African-Americans throughout their existence. Members of The Nation of Islam, and its factions, believe strongly in black pride, nationalism, and separation."

Abstract
This paper examines the Nation of Islam as a social movement and tests whether its traditions and roots are really found in traditional Islam.

From the Paper
"The presence of God (Allah) is another and maybe the most critical difference between the Nation of Islam and traditional Muslims. The Nation of Islam was founded in the 1930's by a man named W. Fard Muhammad. Fard Muhammad believed he was sent to wake "the black nation to the full range of the black man's possibilities in a world temporarily dominated by the blue eyed devils."(5) It is the Nation of Islam who has since said, "We Believe that Allah appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims."(6) Fard Muhammad taught that the African American culture was unique and separate from that of "the Caucasian devils."(7)

Abstract
The paper outlines the roots of the Nation of Islam and how Elijah Muhammad built up the religion that was started by Farad Muhammad. The paper examines how the Nation of Islam differs significantly from traditional Islam and addresses why this movement appears to be more about black nationalism and ethnic pride than about religion. The paper points out that although the Nation of Islam is a controversial movement, it has been one of the most important aspects of African American culture.

From the Paper
"Farad Muhammad disappeared from Detroit soon after he founded what he called the "Lost-Found Nation of Islam in the Wilderness of North America," (Curtis 2). After he left, one of his followers became the new head of the organization. That person was named Elijah Poole. Poole was from Georgia but moved to Detroit in 1923. He was running from the law and was also being watched by the federal government, because Poole was suspected of anti-American activities. He may even have sympathized with the Japanese Empire during World War Two and was convicted for evading the draft (Curtis 2). Therefore, Elijah Poole was attracted to the philosophy of Farad Muhammad and the concept of the Nation of Islam."
