I'm curious why no one in the NOI has challenged Farrakhan & his lieutenants as to the change in belief about Causasians being white devils that deserve to be put down. This was a scriptural context the NOI claimed for years. Why is that belief different now? Did Allah give Farrakhan a new revelation similar to Mormon leaders who often revise & amend church doctrines?
It's hard to accept that Farrakhan would ever surrender his power base to align itself with the COS and it's white-devil COB.
A "living prophet" definitely allows a cult flexibility. Poor Scientology doesn't have that luxury (technically speaking). Unfortunately the buck stops at a self-insulated paranoid dwarf who is terrified of simple questions. To be the leader of scientology is to embrace a certain kind of cowardice. You must live like a bratty child in an ivory tower.
I agree that Farrakhan is just trying to hit the level of wealth he saw in Scientology. He took the bait. Somebody convinced him that NOI was not hitting its potential. Despite all the babbling and hoopla going on, I bet that at the CO$ accounting office it probably boils down to Farrakhan getting a certain commission % on coursework sold, and statistics.
