I am a Eastern Christian {Ma-at Principles}. But, I am also obedient to Allah, and adhere to the laws of the Torah!
Some may ask how can this be? Can I be confused? How is this possible?
First I am, a Black man, of Black African and Black Native American {Cherokee and Choctaw} descent!
Religion is a way a man chose to submit his will {humble & grateful} to the Creator! Am grateful to have secret knowledge that Christianity and Islam was here way before any White man sit foot on what would be called America {Amexem}. Religion is carried and reintroduced by Africans no matter where they go!
This topic will introduce a man who has change the modern ideology of Black people and their religions, but little is known of him?

with a sovereign Black Nation in America. A great group for all Black youth to study. "Study does not mean join, unless you like or feel it and feel it can make you a better person".
Noble Drew Ali was mentor to Elijah Robert Pool-El. Elijah left the Moorish Science Temple and start the Nation of Islam.
Honorable Elijah Muhammad/ Elijah Pool-El found of the Nation of Islam, originally out of Detroit, Michigan, now in Chicago, Illinois.
