Alex’s view on the Nation of Islam

Alex Hailey showed the Nation of Islam in a new light with his view on them being a cult more than a religious movement. We see through Malcolm x a member who supported the group till he saw there leader and close friend Elijah Mohammad break many of the rules of Islam with him having an Affair on his wife. After Malcolm trying to distance him self form NOI they tried to kill him by shooting at Him and trying to blow up his home and they were successful in killing him. This backs Alex’s point that the NOI changed from Malcolm wanted to t be to a violet group and as a reader you can see that it’s not all about the fallowing of Islam. Alex also said that Islam is like Christians they were formed and had a fallowing which grew and this would be the definition of a cult.
